1General Introduction

ARK-1388V User Manual 2

1.1 Introduction

ARK-1388V is a fanless embedded box IPC with focus on in-vehicle computing sys-

tems, which are frequently required to perform under very stringent power require-

ments. These include load-dump, cold-crank, very low power consumption at light

loads, and low-noise operation. Additionally, these solutions are generally required to

be very compact and thermally efficient.

The dimensions of the ARK-1388V are 18.9 x 6.38 x 1.31 cm, and it weighs only 1.76

kg. ARK-1388V delivers excellent computing and multi-media performance with an

Intel® Core™2 Duo ULV U7500 1.06 GHz / Celeron® M ULV 1.06 GHz processor

and an Intel® 945GM/GME chipset. And with the efficient thermal design, the operat-

ing temperatures run from -20 to 60°C. It supports a rich I/O interface, including four

serial ports, LVDS and VGA dual independent display, 4 x USBs, 1 x LAN, DIO with

isolation and relay function, and amplified audio line-out, plus safe boot and safe

shutdown functions. ARK-1388V is the best choice for in-vehicle solutions in trucks,

buses, wagons, taxis and trains.

Smart Power Control

Due to the demands of the in-vehicle power environment, the ARK-1388V box IPC

works with both 12-volt and 24-volt systems, and is designed with safe boot and safe

shutdown to offer safe and stable solutions. The design incorporates hardware power

protection and smart software monitor and control features. The ARK-1388V may be

powered with DC input from 9 to 32 VDC, and supports a minimum of 6VDC ISO-

7637-2 cold crank and load dump. Advantech also includes a utility that allows the SI

and/or the customer to adjust their power voltage, delay on/off timings, and save and

load presets. In addition, the rugged, fanless aluminum case provides passive cool-

ing for extra quiet operation. The system also offers excellent shock and vibration

protection, easily passing 50 and 5 Grms shock and vibration tests.

In-vehicle Wireless Life

Today, entertainment and wireless navigation functions are fast becoming customary,

if not mandatory, and more and more applications require in-vehicle computing sys-

tems. ARK-1388V box IPC is equipped with an 802.11b/g WLAN card, a built in GPS

receiver which supports 50 channels, GPRS support, 3.5G antenna, and supports

VGA and LVDS dual independent display mode for multi-media applications.

Optional GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA modules can easily be interchanged. In-vehi-

cle applications can be expected to become both more convenient and more interest-

ing in the very near future.

2.1 Jumpers

2.1.1 Jumper Description

Cards can be configured by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close

an electric circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected

by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To close a jumper, you

connect the pins with the clip. To open a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a

jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either

pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows.

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have

any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your

local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes. Generally, you

simply need a standard cable to make most connections.

Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply

before setting jumpers or clearing CMOS. Before turning on the power

supply, make sure CMOS jumper is set back to normal.

4In-vehicle power

setting

ARK-1388V User Manual 48

All the in-vehicle installed systems require a sophisticated power management. The

new Advantech solution based on the Box IPC ARK-1388V designed especially for

in-vehicle applications offers due to its outstanding hardware and firmware design in

microcontroller based safe boot and safe shut down functions. The rugged industrial

PC works with both 12 volt and 24 volt battery systems. The innovative power man-

agement system is dedicated primarily for taxicabs, trucks, wagons, mining, and city

buses. This chapter will introduce how to setting the relative parameter of the power

management system.

4.1 Power mode selection

ARK-1388V can work as a normal Box IPC or in-vehicle Box IPC. But the power solu-

tion of these two applications is quite different. The connector CN18 is designed for

selecting whether the power input is in-vehicle power or not. If the two pins of CN18

are leaved open without any jumper on it, then ARK-1388V will work as an in-vehicle

Box IPC. Its power management firmware design in PIC microcontroller will start to

work.

Chapter 4 In-vehicle power setting

4.2 Turn on procedure of PIC firmware

If the power mode of the ARK-1388V is set as general purpose IPC mode, the sys-

tem will turn on when the power button pushed and power input is live. When the

power mode of the ARK-1388V is set as in-vehicle mode, the turn on and turn off pro-

cedure will be controlled by PIC firmware. The turn on procedure of PIC firmware is

shown in Fig 4.2. Firstly, the PIC firmware will automatically check the voltage level of

the input battery power. Then it will check the battery status. The battery status is nor-

mal if the input voltage is higher than 11V in a 12V system or 22V in a 24V system.

Next, the IGN status is determined by the voltage level of ignition signal which is

located at the third pin of power connector. If the voltage of IGN is higher than 8V, the

IGN status is high. The system will be turned on after 10 seconds, named turn-on

delay, if the IGN status is higher.

Figure 4.2 Turn on procedure of PIC firmware

4.3 Turn off procedure of PIC firmware

ARK-1388V will start to shut down if the IGN signal goes lower than 8V. Then the sys-

tem will turn off after the time period named off delay. The off delay time is used for

an in-vehicle device, ARK-1388V, to store information or communicate with a device

on stations before it turns off. If the system hangs when shutting down or is still alive

longer than the time period named in hard off, then PIC firmware will force the system

to shut down right away to avoid consuming the battery power. The time period of off

delay and hard off can be set by the 4th to 6th pins on SW6. For more timing details

on the 4th to 6th pins on SW6, please refer to Table 2.9.

Figure 4.3 Turn off procedure of PIC firmware

ARK-1388V User Manual 50

Figure 4.4 The switch location for off delay and hard off setting (SW6)

4.4 Battery Status Checking

The PIC firmware of ARK-1388V will keep detecting and monitoring the battery volt-

age of the power input when the system is operating. If it detects the battery voltage

level is lower than 11V in a 12V system or 22V in a 24V system, ARK-1388V will be

shut down with 5 seconds delay. Battery status checking can make sure the battery

will not be run down by ARK-1388V. Similarly, in the turn off procedure, the system

will start hard off shutdown if the system doesn't shut down within the time limit spec-

ified as hard off.
