Description
The VL BPC 1000 is a configurable box PC that can be
mounted either directly on a wall or on a DIN rail. The VL
BPC 1000 utilizes the Intel® Atom™ N455 1.66 GHz CPU,
chosen for its balance of processing power and energy
efficiency. The small footprint, fanless design and rich I/O
capability make the VL BPC 1000 a product that can be used
in a wide variety of applications. The three built-in COM
ports enable connections to legacy RS-232 devices. One of
the COM ports can also be configured for RS-422 or RS-485
protocols.

Dimensions
To install on DIN rail:
1. Angle the VL BPC 100… so the top edge of the
mounting plate hangs on the top edge of the DIN rail.
2. Rotate the bottom of the VL BPC 100… down against
the lower edge of the DIN rail. Press in until the latch
snaps closed.
3. Secure with clamps.

Installation
The VL BPC 100… can be mounted on an NS 35 DIN rail or
attached to a flat mounting surface such as a wall (mounting
method must be selected when ordered).
Be sure sufficient clearance exists for routing cables to the
connectors. When installing the VL BPC 100… in a cabinet,
follow these general rules:
– Verify clearances within the cabinet. Typically, leave at
least 5 cm (2 in.) on each side. Depending on cable
routing, additional space may be required.
– Drill all holes and make all cuts before beginning
installation. Be sure to protect already installed
components from shavings.
– Supporting panels must be at least 14 gauge to provide
proper support.
– Make sure that there is adequate space around the heat
sink (on the back of the VL BPC 100…) and air inlets
and outlets to provide sufficient cooling.

To remove from DIN rail:
1. Remove rail clamps and cables, as necessary.
2. Use a screwdriver to release the latch.
3. Rotate the bottom of the VL BPC 100… away from the
rail and then lift it off the rail.

Wall mounting
Mark mounting holes in the mounting surface (wall) as
indicated in Figure 2. Alternatively, hold the
VL BPC 100… in position and mark the holes on the wall.
Drill holes in the wall as required. Mounting hardware
(not included) will depend on the type of mounting
surface.
Secure the VL BPC 100… to the wall using appropriate
hardware.

Connectors
The connections available are:
– Ethernet (ETH): Two RJ45 connectors allow the
computer to communicate on a 10/100/1000 Base-T
Ethernet network.
– Serial (COM): Three 9-pos. D-Sub ports allow
connection of serial devices. Two ports operate on the
RS-232 layer; one port can be configured to
communicate on the RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485
physical layer (see “Serial communication” on page 7
for jumper settings).
– USB (USB): USB devices connect using Type A
connectors. The VL BPC 100… has four USB ports.
– VGA (VGA): This port connects the VL BPC 1000 to an
external analog display with a corresponding VGA
connector.

Service panel
NOTE: Electrostatic discharge!
The device contains components that can be
damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
When handling the device, observe the
necessary safety precautions against
electrostatic discharge (ESD), in accordance with
EN 61340-5-1 and EN 61340-5-2.
Jumpers on the circuit board provide the ability to configure
the VL BPC 100… for specific applications. To access the
jumpers:
1. Turn off the VL BPC 100… and disconnect the power
supply.
2. Remove the VL BPC 100… to an ESD safe location.
External display
External analog displays can be connected to the VGA port
of the VL BPC 100… (see Figure 3). An Extended Display
Identification Data (EDID) display will download its
capabilities to the display driver while non-EDID displays
will not. In either case, additional settings can be applied
through the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator.

To move a jumper, it may be gently grasped using a small
needle-nose pliers or large tweezers. Pull it straight out until
it is clear of the pins. Reposition it over the desired pins and
insert it straight on to the pins.

Port X9: COM can be configured to communicate on the
RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 physical layer. This is set using
jumpers on the motherboard.
Pin 9 in the COM port (DB-9) connector can be configured
to provide different voltages using the appropriate jumper
setting.
