Powering the Panel PC

POWER

Power is supplied to the PPC3-12 Touchscreen PC through a 20-pin ATX connection (Part# G500-5000-076C), which

ships standard with the board. Three USB ports are available using this standard.

Additionally, OEM options are available for customers to choose supplying power either through an 8-pin (plug Part#

WECO 302-NSLW-HDS/08 and socket Part# WECO 302-NFLW-DS/08) or an optional 12-pin terminal strip connector.

Push button power is supplied through the terminal strip.

The power supply and how it is connected to the Single Board Computer (SBC) is very important.

Avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Only handle the SBC and other bare electronics when electrostatic discharge

(ESD) protection is in place. Having a wrist strap and a fully grounded

workstation is the minimum ESD protection required before the ESD seal on the

product bag is broken.

Power Supply Budget

Evaluate your power supply budget. It is usually good practice to budget 2X the

typical power requirement for all of your devices.

Zero-Load Power Supply

Use a zero-load power supply whenever possible. A zero-load power supply

does not require a minimum power load to regulate. If a zero-load power

supply is not appropriate for your application, then verify that the single board

computer’s typical load is not lower than the power supply’s minimum load. If the

single board computer does not draw enough power to meet the power supply’s

minimum load, then the power supply will not regulate properly and can cause

damage to the SBC.

Use Proper Power Connections (Voltage)

When verifying the voltage, you should always measure it at the power

connector on the SBC. Measuring at the power supply does not account for

voltage drop through the wire and connectors.

The single board computer requires +5V (±5%) to operate. Verify the power

connections. Incorrect voltages can cause catastrophic damage.

Populate all of the +5V and ground connections. Most single board computers

will have multiple power and ground pins, and all of them should be populated.

The more copper connecting the power supply to the single board computer the

better.

Adjusting Voltage

If you have a power supply that will allow you to adjust the voltage, it is a good

idea to set the voltage at the power connector of the SBC to 5.1V. The SBC can

tolerate up to 5.25V, so setting your power supply to provide 5.1V is safe and

allows for a small amount of voltage drop that will occur over time as the power

supply ages and the connector contacts oxidize.

Power Harness

Minimize the length of the power harness. This will reduce the amount of voltage

drop between the power supply and the single board computer.

Gauge Wire

Use the largest gauge wire that you can. Most connector manufacturers have a

maximum gauge wire they recommend for their pins. Try going one size larger;

it usually works and the extra copper will help your system perform properly over

time.

APPENDIX - A

POWER SUPPLY

BEST PRACTICES

140226 PRODUCT MANUAL PPC3-12 19

Contact Points

WinSystems’ boards mostly use connectors with gold nish contacts. Gold

nish contacts are used exclusively on high speed connections. Power and

lower speed peripheral connectors may use a tin nish as an alternative

contact surface. It is critical that the contact material in the mating connectors

is matched properly (gold to gold and tin to tin). Contact areas made with

dissimilar metals can cause oxidation/corrosion resulting in unreliable

connections.

Pin Contacts

Often the pin contacts used in cabling are not given enough attention. The ideal

choice for a pin contact would include a design similar to Molex’s or Trifurcons’

design, which provides three distinct points to maximize the contact area and

improve connection integrity in high shock and vibration applications.

POWER DOWN

Make sure the system is completely off/powered down before connecting anything.

Power Supply OFF

The power supply should always be off before it is connected to the single board

computer.

I/O Connections OFF

I/O Connections should also be off before connecting them to the single board

computer or any I/O cards. Connecting hot signals can cause damage whether

the single board computer is powered or not.

MOUNTING AND PROTECTING THE SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER

Do Not Bend or Flex the SBC

Never bend or ex the single board computer. Bending or exing can cause

irreparable damage. Single board computers are especially sensitive to exing

or bending around Ball-Grid-Array (BGA) devices. BGA devices are extremely

rigid by design and exing or bending the single board computer can cause the

BGA to tear away from the printed circuit board.

Mounting Holes

The mounting holes are plated on the top, bottom and through the barrel of the

hole and are connected to the single board computer’s ground plane. Traces are

often routed in the inner layers right below, above or around the mounting holes.

Never use a drill or any other tool in an attempt to make the holes larger.

Never use screws with oversized heads. The head could come in contact with

nearby components causing a short or physical damage.

Never use self-tapping screws; they will compromise the walls of the mounting

hole.

Never use oversized screws that cut into the walls of the mounting holes.

Always use all of the mounting holes. By using all of the mounting holes you

will provide the support the single board computer needs to prevent bending or

exing.

140226 PRODUCT MANUAL PPC3-12 20

MOUNTING AND PROTECTING THE SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER (continued)

Plug or Unplug Connectors Only on Fully Mounted Boards

Never plug or unplug connectors on a board that is not fully mounted. Many

of the connectors t rather tightly and the force needed to plug or unplug them

could cause the single board computer to be exed.

Avoid cutting of the SBC

Never use star washers or any fastening hardware that will cut into the single

board computer.

Avoid Overtightening of Mounting Hardware

Causing the area around the mounting holes to compress could damage

interlayer traces around the mouting holes.

Use Appropriate Tools

Always use tools that are appropriate for working with small hardware. Large

tools can damage components around the mounting holes.

Placing the SBC on Mounting Standoffs

Be careful when placing the single board computer on the mounting standoffs.

Sliding the board around until the standoffs are visible from the top can cause

component damage on the bottom of the single board computer.

Avoid Conductive Surfaces

Never allow the single board computer to be placed on a conductive surface.

Almost all single board computers use a battery to backup the clock-calendar

and CMOS memory. A conductive surface such as a metal bench can short the

battery causing premature failure.

ADDING PC/104 BOARDS TO YOUR STACK

Be careful when adding PC/104 boards to your stack.

Never allow the power to be turned on when a PC/104 board has been

improperly plugged onto the stack. It is possible to misalign the PC/104 card

and leave a row of pins on the end or down the long side hanging out of the

connector. If power is applied with these pins misaligned, it will cause the I/O

board to be damaged beyond repair.
