It is available both as an embedded solution and as a device hosed in an aluminum casing
with bezels, thus facilitating dierent installation options:
Installation on an industrial cabinet
Integration with the existing equipment
The EPC/PPC-A9-101-C Industrial Panel PC is based around the powerful CS-SOM-iMX6Q
System on Module (SoM), powered by the i.MX6Q Arm Cortex -A9 quad-core Application
Processor (APU). The i.MX6Q APU represents the latest achievement in integrated
multimedia applications processors, delivering high-performance computing, an abundance
of integrated peripherals, and high power eciency.
This product also features a broad range of connectivity options, providing a high level of
scalability for various use cases. It is the perfect solution for power-constrained applications
on the Edge, acting as a robust control unit for collecting, processing, and aggregating eld
data. The i.MX6Q APU is part of NXP’s EdgeVerse™ edge computing platform.
The NXP i.MX6UL APU does not generate extensive heat, so even the thin aluminum
housing on PPC version delivers sucient thermal dissipation. With its junction temperature
from -40 to +125°C, the APU itself is well suited for extended temperature range in both
automotive and factory environments.
Ordering Options

1This product has 5 x UART channels in total. The default conguration is 2 x RS232, 2 x RS485, and 1 x UART for
WiFi/BT module. UART can be swapped between RS232 and RS485 modes easily, so if you need dierent
RS232/RS485 conguration, please get in touch with the Chipsee Technical Support at [email protected]
Power Input
The EPC/PPC-A9-101-C Industrial Panel PC can be powered by a wide range of input
voltages: From 12V to 36V DC. The power input connector is a 3-pin, 3.81mm terminal. The
polarity and the pinout is clearly marked on the housing of the PPC version, as well as on
the PCB itself of the EPC version, as shown in the gure below.
Figure 33: Power Input Section (embedded/enclosed version)
Note that the “+” sign represents the positive power input, and it is printed both at the
casing and as a silk-screen on a PCB of the embedded version. The “-” terminal is shorted to
the ground.
Touch Screen
The EPC/PPC-A9-101-C Industrial Panel PC uses a ten-point multitouch capacitive screen.
Figure 2 shows the capacitive screen connected to the motherboard via the FPC connector.

Connectivity
There are many connectivity options available on the EPC/PPC-A9-101-C industrial PC. It has
2 x HOST USB Type A connectors, 1 x USB OTG Type Mini B, 2 x network connector (RJ45)
supporting up to 1 Gbps, and 5 x UART terminals (RS232/485). This device also features two
CAN interfaces.
RS232/RS485/CAN
The serial communication interfaces (RS485, RS482, and CAN) are routed to a 16-pin
3.81mm terminal, as illustrated in the gure below. Serial communication on both RS485
and RS422 interfaces can reach up to 115200 kbps.
Attention
A capacitive touch screen is susceptible to power noise and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR). It may cause LCD ripples
or even capacitive touch malfunction. If using a capacitive multitouch test application, you might notice the touch
points oat erratically across the display. There are several solutions to this problem:
Use a high-quality Power Adapter Unit (PSU) with low EMR. You can also provide power from a battery.
Make sure that the EPC/PPC-A9-101-C Power Input connector (pin 3) is properly connected to the Power System
Ground to provide sucient EMI shielding and eliminate the problem entirely.
Bad GND problem can also be conrmed by touching pin 3 of the Power Input connector with one hand while
operating the capacitive touch screen with the other hand. In this case, the operator’s body acts as the Power
System Ground.
