Description Open

The BC50M (formerly called BC1) is a maintenance-free box computer that has been designed for independent use or as display computer electronics for use in mobile applications, e.g. in trains, commercial vehicles, mobile machines or airplanes.

(continued)

It is powered by an AMD Embedded G-Series APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), the T52R, running at 1.5 GHz. The G-Series combines low-power CPUs and advanced GPUs, in this case an AMD Radeon™ HD 6310, into a single embedded device. The use of the Embedded G-Series makes for high scalability in CPU (single/dual core) and graphics performance (various Radeon™ GPUs or none at all).

The BC50M is equipped with 1 GB of DDR3 SDRAM and offers SD card and mSATA slots. A SATA hard-disk/solid-state drive can be installed within the housing as an option. The system is designed for fanless operation at temperatures from -40 to +70°C (+85°C for up to 10 minutes), its special aluminum housing with cooling fins serves as a heatsink for the internal electronics and in this way provides conduction cooling.

The BC50M supports up to two DisplayPort® interfaces with a maximum resolution of 2560x1600 each, DisplayPort® 1 with an AUX channel and hot plug detection and DisplayPort® 2 with a USB channel. The AUX channel of DisplayPort® 1 can optionally be used for USB signals as well, e.g., to realize touch functionality. The DisplayPort® interfaces and all other I/O are available at the unit's front panel on standard connectors like USB, 9-pin D-Sub (HD audio and optional serial I/O), 8-pin M12 (Gigabit Ethernet) and DisplayPort®. On the inside, the system offers two PCI Express® Mini card slots with two SIM card slots. By default, one is used for each of the two PCI Express® Mini cards, but the first PCI Express® Mini card can also switch between the two SIM cards as an option. The necessary antenna connectors can be made available at the front panel.

The BC50M comes with its own integrated 30W 24 VDC nom. (9 to 36 V) class S2 wide-range power supply and is compliant with EN 50155 and prepared for e1 certification. If the connected display panels require more power, an external PSU can be connected via a power bypass connector within the unit to supply the necessary 12 VDC internal voltage for the system.

The combination of the various CPU/GPU options with the available selection of external interfaces (realized via separate graphics and I/O interface boards within the system) makes for an extremely flexible system design that can quickly be tailored to a vast number of applications.
