Introduction DataLab PC is a new line of compact computers fully compatible with PC standard, but designed to work in industrial applications, laboratories and schools. They employ lowpower VIA EDEN processors, which enable working without active (fan assisted) cooling of CPU and chipset. This ensures durability and reliable operation required in industrial applications.
• Presence of all standard PC interfaces (RS-232C, LPT, Ethernet, USB 1.1 and 2.0, VGA, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, Audio) on the standard ATX panel makes DataLab PC as flexible as standard desktop PCs. • The DataLab PC incorporates hardware USB-based watchdog. The watchdog driver in the forms of Windows DLL, Active X component and Control Web driver is supplied with every computer. • DataLab PC computers are ideally suited to run Control Web process control software.

Differences among DataLab PC configurations The following table summarizes differences among various DataLab PC configurations. interface Ethernet USB 2.
Operating system DataLab PC works with all operating systems compatible with standard PC architecture. User can choose whatever operating system he/she wants to use: • • • • Windows CE.NET 15 Windows XP Embedded 15 Windows 2000 16 Windows XP Professional 16 Windows XP Embedded (XPe) Windows NT family of operating systems (including Windows 2000 and Windows XP) are traditionally linked with the PC architecture.
For systems used for implementation into embedded solutions (Windows CE) there is no such problem, systems do not write on the disk during work and if they need to write something, it is possible to create a virtual disk in RAM. Systems adapted for work in embedded applications (Windows NT/XP Embedded) are equipped with a so-called write filter, which is a component able to catch attempts to write to the hard disk and to prevent damaging the FLASH memory.
Connector placement There is a standard ATX connector panel on one side of the DataLab PC. The power supply connectors and main switch, as well as CF slot, 12 V DC auxiliary output and possible RS485 interface connector are placed on the opposite side. ATX panel Connector placement on ATX panel depends on individual configuration. Panel picture is shown in individual configuration descriptions. Thorough description can be found in respective motherboard documentation, supplied with every computer.
Power supply connector and main switch Depending on the power supply, the DataLab PC has either standard 230 V AC power plug or two-pole connector for DC power supply. Both power supply variants have main switch. Auxiliary 12 V DC power output Two-pole connector with 12 V DC auxiliary power output is available on the side of the DataLab PC computer. Maximal output current is 500 mA. Warning 2 Take care to use proper polarity of the auxiliary power output.
Communication lines Every DataLab PC is equipped with standard RS-232C serial line, USB ports and Ethernet interface. DataLab PC 800 and DataLab PC 600 contain 2 USB ports, DataLab PC 1200, DataLab PC 1000 and DataLab PC 610 offers 4 USB ports on ATX panel. DataLab PC 1200, DataLab PC 800, DataLab PC 610 and DataLab PC 600 can be also equipped with isolated RS-485 serial interface. RS-485 module is optional and must be ordered separately.
Remark 3 If there is an RS-485 module marked GPA used, then the direction is controlled automatically and neither J1 jumper nor RT resistor have any meaning.
Watchdog The DataLab PC computers are equipped with hardware watchdog, which helps to increase reliability in demanding applications. If the control program hangs (be it due to critical error, infinite loop etc.), watchdog resets the computer and restores the initial state. It is necessary to activate the watchdog first. Then it checks for periodical signaling from running application. If the application fails for some reason, watchdog resets the computer. The period can be set with the step 0.
Jumper settings Watchdog can be configured by J5 and J6 jumpers on the PWR printed circuit board. Both jumpers are behind the RS-485 module.
Mounting DataLab PC can be mounted on the standard 32 mm DIN-rail or can be placed anywhere on the suitable flat space. Mounting the computer to the DIN-rail is simple: first insert the bottom side of the DIN clip to place the DataLab PC on the DIN-rail. Then push the case upwards until the upper side of the DIN clip hangs to the rail.
Maintenance DataLab PC requires no regular maintenance. CMOS RAM backup battery BIOS configuration data as well as date and time is stored in the CMOS RAM powered by battery on motherboard. This battery lasts at last 5 years, then it is necessary to replace it.
