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 PPC-A55-121 Industrial Panel PC is based around the powerful RK3568 System on Chip
(SoC), powered by the Rockchip RK3568 low-power processor which integrates a quad-core
Cortex -A55 processor.
The RK3568 supports multi-format video decoders and has a high-performance RAM
(LPDDR4X) capable of sustaining demanding memory bandwidths. It also provides a
complete set of peripheral interfaces.

Power Input
Note that the “+” sign represents the positive power input, it is printed 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 PPC-A55-121 Industrial Panel PC uses a 10-point capacitive touch screen. However, the
Debian OS supports only One-Point touch.
The gure below shows the capacitive touch screen connected to the motherboard via the
USB connector.

Connectivity
There are many connectivity options available on the PPC-A55-121 industrial PC. It has 1 x
USB 2.0 HOST, 1 x USB 3.0 HOST, 1 x USB Type-C, 1 x network connector (RJ45) supporting
up to 1 Gbps, 8 x GPIO, 2 x CAN and 4 x UART terminals (RS232/485).
RS232+RS485+CAN+GPIO Connector
The serial communication interfaces (RS485, RS232, and CAN) are routed to a 24-pin
3.81mm terminal, as illustrated in the gure below. Serial communication on both RS485
and RS232 interfaces can reach up to 115200 kbps.
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 multi-touch 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 PPC-A55-121 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.
