Overview

The MPC-2000 series panel computer features advanced Intel processors—3rd generation Ivy Bridge Core or Celeron—matched to 4 GB of system memory, delivering a reliable, high-performance marine computing platform of wide versatility. With its RS-232/422/485 serial,

NMEA 0183, and Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, the MPC-2000 series supports a wide variety of serial- and marine-specific interfaces with high-speed network communications and native network redundancy.

The MPC-2000 series comes with a range of standard display enhancements useful in industrial environments (including 0 to 100% full range dimming, 178°/178° wide viewing angles, optional optical bonding, and/or a multi-touch screen), as well as Moxa’s innovative SavvyTouch display controls.

The following lists the models in the MPC-2000 series:

Installing the MPC-2000 Series

Desktop

The MPC-2000 series comes with optional brackets that allow you to install the display on a horizontal surface, such as a desktop. Three round screws are required for each bracket. See the figure for detailed screw specifications and their torque values.

Place your MPC-2000 series display on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. To protect the computer from overheating, leave some ventilation space between the MPC-2000 series and other equipment.

Do NOT place equipment or objects on the panel, as this might damage internal components.

Wall Mounting

The MPC-2000 series comes with optional clamp mounts for installation onto a wall (where space has been cut out to accommodate the rest of the hardware) or into computing stations where a flush mount is desired.

For a secure mounting, use all 14 clamps on the MPC-2260 and MPC-2240, or use 10 clamps on the MPC-2190.

The clamp arms are fastened into slots on all four sides of the MPC-2000 series. Use the short M4 SUS screws to fasten the clamp arms to the

MPC-2000 series mounting slots, as shown in the following figure. Next, use the clamps to fasten the MPC-2000 series to its mounting point; note the torque value as shown in the figure.

VESA Mounting

The MPC-2000 series also comes with an optional VESA mounting kit. Six flat screws and four round screws are required to attach the VESA mounting bracket. See the following figure for detailed screw specifications and torque values.

An additional four screws (not included in the kit) are required to mount the MPC-2000 series on a VESA rack. For this purpose, use M6 screws with a length between 10 and 12 mm.

Connector Description

Extending the Display

The MPC-2000 series comes with both standard VGA (DB15) and DVI-D

(DB29) interfaces (on the bottom panel) that can be used to simultaneously display across two monitors.

Connecting to a Keyboard and Mouse

The MPC-2000 series comes with two PS/2 connectors located on the bottom panel for connecting a keyboard and a mouse.

Powering the MPC-2000 Series On or Off

To power on the MPC-2000 series, connect the Terminal Block to

Power Jack Converter to the MPC-2000 series DC terminal block

(located on the bottom panel) and then connect a power adapter; or, alternately, you may power the device using the AC power cord.

Touch the MENU button (in the lower right corner of the display panel) for one second to turn on the computer. It takes about 10 to 30 seconds for the system to boot up.

To power off the MPC-2000 series, touch the MENU button for four seconds; depending on the power management settings of the operating system, you can select the “standby”, “hibernation”, or “system shutdown” mode.

If you encounter any technical problems, touch the MENU button for 10 seconds to force the system to shut down.

NOTE If the MPC-2000 series is powered using a DC converter, the system displays Fail for the AC power status in the INFO dialog.

This does not affect the operation of the MPC-2000 series.

Grounding the MPC-2000 Series

Proper grounding and wire routing help to limit the effects of noise from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power source.

For detailed information on setup and configuration, refer to the

MPC-2000 Series Hardware Manual, which you can download from the

Moxa company website at www.moxa.com
