1(1,2)This product has 4 x UART by default, 6 x UART channels at most. The default conguration is 2 x RS232 and 2
x RS485, including 1 RS232 debug port. The 2 x CAN can be congured to RS232. UART can be swapped
between RS232 and RS485 modes easily, if you need a dierent RS232/RS485 conguration, please get in touch
Power Input
The PPC-A55-215 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 product as shown in the gure
below.
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-A55-215 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-A55-215 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).
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 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-A55-215 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.

Attention
The 120Ω match resistor for CAN bus is NOT mounted by default.
The 120Ω match resistor for RS485 is already mounted by default.
This product supports changing 2 x RS485 to 2 x RS232, supports changing 2 x CAN to 2 x RS232, providing up to 6
x RS232 (including one debug port).
The GPIO has been optical isolated and it uses the 24V logic by default. You can use an external isolated power
input but the power input range should be from 5V to 24V DC.
