Hardware

Which power supplies can power the IPC2?

IPC2 bundle comes with external AC/DC wall power supply, providing unregulated 10–15Vdc input voltage range, 12Vdc nominal. However, any power supply able to supply ~60W from 12Vdc source will be fine.

IPC2 serial ports

IPC2 features three RS232 serial ports, one full signal set and two other 2-wire Tx/Rx signals only.

IPC2 serial ports 700x175.png

  • Port 1 (left): Serial 2-wire com port (SuperIO Controller)
  • Port 2 (middle): Serial 2-wire com port (Embedded Controller)
  • Port 3 (right): Serial full signal set com port (SuperIO Controller)


Operating notes:

  1. Operating system can be a factor. We recommend to test the ports under Linux Mint 17 or Windows 7
  2. The operation can be dependent on devices connected, as the ports are not identical
  3. The middle port operated by Embedded Controller which is part of Intel architecture and fully under Intel control. It might not support specific devices.
  4. Usually 2-wire serial interface uses very basic, relatively slow and not too immune communication but it is very simple to use. Not all devices can communicate via 2-wire serial interface.
