W406 Hardware User’s Manual Hardware Introduction Real Time Clock The embedded computer’s real-time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We strongly recommend that you NOT replace the lithium battery on your own. If the battery needs to be changed, please contact the Moxa RMA service team. ATTENTION There is a risk of explosion if the wrong type of battery is used. To avoid this potential danger, always be sure to use the correct type of battery.
3 Chapter 3 Hardware Connection Description The W406 series wireless embedded computers support multiple types of connections. GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Ethernet, and one or more serial ports are built into every model. In addition, the computers come with a serial console port for monitoring bootup messages. All models include an SD storage expansion, a USB port for additional device and storage options, and 4 digital input and 4 digital output connections.
W406 Hardware User’s Manual Hardware Connection Description Installing the W406 DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate is already attached to the product casing. When attaching the plate to the W406, make sure that the stiff metal spring is at the top. STEP 1: Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into the slot just below the stiff metal spring. STEP 2: The DIN-Rail attachment unit will snap into place as shown below.
W406 Hardware User’s Manual Hardware Connection Description Wiring Requirements This section describes how to connect serial devices to the embedded computer. You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any electronic device: y Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
