Overview The UC-5100 Series embedded computers are designed for industrial automation applications. The computers feature 4 RS-232/422/485 fullsignal serial ports with adjustable pull-up and pull-down resistors, dual CAN ports, dual LANs, 4 digital input channels, 4 digital output channels, an SD socket, and a Mini PCIe socket for wireless module in a compact housing with convenient front-end access to all these communication interfaces.
NOTE The console cable and power jack can be found beneath the molded pulp cushioning inside the product box.
UC-5111 UC-5112 LED Indicators The function of each LED is described in the table below: LED Name Status Function Green Power is on and the device is functioning normally Power Off Power is off Yellow OS has been successfully enabled Ready and the device is ready Green Steady On: 10 Mbps Ethernet link Blinking: Data transmission is in progress Yellow Steady On: 100 Mbps Ethernet link Blinking: Data transmission is in Ethernet progress Off Transmission speed below 10 Mbps or the cable is not connected -4-
LED Name Serial (Tx) Serial (Rx) Status Green Off Function Serial port is transmitting data Serial port is not transmitting data Serial port is receiving data Yellow Off Yellow Serial port is not receiving data The number of glowing LEDs indicates the signal strength.
Wiring Requirements Be sure to read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any electronic device: • 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. NOTE • • • Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit.
NOTE The input rating of UC-5100 Series is 9-48 VDC, 0.95-0.23 A. Grounding the Unit Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the terminal block connector to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power. Note that this product is intended to be mounted on a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

These connectors are located on the top panel of the computer. Refer to the diagram on the left for the pin definitions of the connectors. For the wiring method, refer to the following figures.
Connecting to a CAN Device The UC-5111 and UC-5112 are provided with 2 CAN ports, allowing users to connect to a CAN device. The pin location and assignments are shown in the following table: PIN Signal 1 CAN_H 2 CAN_L 3 CAN_GND 4 5 6 7 CAN_GND 8 - Connecting the Cellular/Wi-Fi Module and Antenna The UC-5102 and UC-5112 computers come with one Mini PCIe socket for installing a cellular or Wi-Fi module. Unfasten the two screws on the right panel to remove the cover and find the location of the socket.
Follow these steps to install the cellular module. 1. Set the antenna cables aside for convenience of installation and clear the wireless module socket as shown in the figure. 2. Insert the cellular module into the socket and fasten two screws (included in the package) on to the top of the module. We recommended using a tweezer when installing or removing the module. Connect the free ends of the two antenna cables next to the screws as shown in the image. Replace the cover and secure it using two screws.

Installing Micro SIM Cards You will need to install a Micro SIM card on your UC-5100 computer. Follow these steps to install the Micro SIM card. 1. Remove the screw on the cover located on the front panel of the UC-5100. 2. Insert the Micro SIM card into the socket. Make sure you place the card in the right direction. To remove the Micro SIM card, simply push the Micro SIM card and release it. Note: There are two Micro SIM card sockets allowing users to install two Micro SIM cards simultaneously.
Adjusting the Serial Port DIP Switch The UC-5100 computers come with a DIP switch for users to adjust the pull-up/pull-down resistors for the serial port parameters. The serial port DIP switch is located on the bottom panel of the computer. Adjust the setting as required. The ON setting corresponds to 1KΩ and the OFF setting corresponds to 150KΩ. The default setting is OFF. Each port consists of 4 pins; you must switch all 4 pins of a port simultaneously to adjust the value of the port.
