2. About the Product
This product is an IoT Edge Controller with an Intel Atom processor E3950 and can be mounted on
35mmDIN rail. Connect a CONPROSYS series configurable I/O module with the controller to provide
such function as analog I/O.
The use of readily available parts ensures the product to be applied easily. In addition, Contec-
customized BIOS allows support to be provided at the BIOS level.
A space-saving design that can be installed in spaces with roughly the same area as a palm-size.
It has extension interfaces such as Analog RGB, Display Port, 1000BASE-T, USB 3.0, and serial.
It employs a M.2/CFast card for storage and is fan-less to ensure a totally spindle-less design that
simplifies maintenance.
Moreover, this product is equipped with a RAS*1 function independent of the main computer
functions. This feature provides various functions to increase system reliability by automatically
restarting the system when detecting errors such as frozen programs, and a rise in internal
temperature, and by saving detailed logs of the occurrence of errors, which can be useful in failure
analysis.
*1 Reliability Availability and Serviceability: Support functions for stable system operation.

3. Features
Secured IoT device for edge computing
As for the product with an OS model, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 64bit version supporting four languages (Japanese, English, Chinese,
and Korean), and McAfee Whitelist type anti-virus software are pre-installed. The CPS-BXC200 already has all the equipment required for
an Internet-connected device.
Three Gigabit LAN ports alternating connections
between different network layers
This product is equipped with three Gigabit LAN ports. This makes it the optimal device for IoT gateway applications that alternate
connections between different network layers such as between field busses and controllers within a factory and higher-order information
system networks.
I/O extension modules with the same API functions as
PCI Express, PCI, USB bus product
Development performed with a Windows PC and CONTEC’s wide array of expansion cards is made even more efficiently thanks to the
fact that applications can be directly ported to product and I/O modules in the execution environment. Stacking of up to eight I/O
modules is possible. (The total current consumption of configurable modules shall be 3.3A or less)
Contributing to reduction of running cost and
promotion of energy efficiency
Adopting the low-power platform of Intel® Atom(TM) Processor E3950 achieves lower power consumption while still ensuring sufficient
performance.
Adaptable to a temperature range between -20 and
+60°C
The product is capable of operating in the temperature between -20 and + 60°C. It can be installed in the various environments.
(when using1000BASE-T: -20 to +55°C)
Fan-less design that reduces maintenance and
inspection work
This product's spindle-less design eliminates CPU fan, and adopts SSD for the storage. The using parts that degrade over time is
minimized to facilitate maintenance.

signatory
This symbol mark is for EU countries only.
This symbol mark is according to the directive 2006/66/EC Article 20 Information for end-users and
Annex II.
This symbol mark means that batteries and/or accumulators, at their end-of-life, should be disposed
separately from the household waste.
If a chemical symbol is printed beneath the symbol mark shown above, it indicates that the battery
or accumulator contains a heavy metal at a certain concentration.

4. Security Warning
When connecting to the network, be aware of security-related problems. See the examples of
Security measures below and set up the product properly along with the network devices.
1. Information security risks
Unauthorized access from the outside through a network could cause the system halt, data
damage, or exposure to malware. *1
Invaded and used as a stepping stone, a device might attack the others through networks. (a
victim becomes an assailant)
Information might leak without realizing due to the connection to the network.
Secondary damages such as harmful rumors, liability in damages, social credibility fall, and
opportunity loss are expected led by the troubles described above.
*1: Malware (Malicious Software) is software that brings harm to a computer system and performs
unintended operations.
2. Security measures e.g.
Do not keep using the default password. (Refer to the product manual for the password
setting).
Set a strong password.
Combined with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers so that it cannot be easily
analogized by others.
Change the password periodically.
Disable unnecessary network services and functions.
Restrict access to the network with network devices. *2
Restrict ports to be released on the network with network devices. *2
Create a closed network connection using such as dedicated network or VPN*3
*2: Inquire for setting procedure to manufacturers.
*3: VPN (Virtual Private Network) a secured network that wards off unauthorized access by
protecting the communication path with authentication and encryption.
Unfortunately, there are no perfect ways to avert unauthorized access or close a security hole
that are endlessly found day and night.
Please understand that risks are always involved with the Internet connection, and we strongly
recommend a user should constantly update information security measures.
