EMERSON IPC 2010 Ruggedised Hardware in Space

Initial Checks

Upon receiving your equipment, carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage. If any part of the system is damaged, notify the carrier immediately. The damaged shipping container should be saved as evidence for inspection by the carrier. As the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipment. Emerson will fully cooperate with you, however, should such action be necessary. After unpacking the equipment, record all serial numbers. Serial numbers are required if you should need to contact Customer Care during the warranty period. All shipping containers and all packing material should be saved should it be necessary to transport or ship any part of the system. Verify that all components of the system have been received and that they agree with your order. If the system received does not agree with your order, contact Customer Care.

Front Panel Description

Figure 1: Overview

Power-Input

To power the system, a voltage of 24 V DC must be supplied to the power connector. The IPC 2010 power supply must meet the requirements for SELV (safety extra-low voltage)/LPS (limited power source) or ES1/PS2 appropriately rated for the ambient and altitude of the application. There are no buttons for power or resetting, as the system will start automatically once power is applied. The Power LED (1) will light up green to indicate that the system is now powered on. The specific plug required is a Phoenix Contact with part number 1748367, and users must use the same connector type

CAUTION
Equipment is intended for installation in the Restricted Access Area.

Battery
The IPC 2010 contains a CR2032 lithium coin battery. It is an industrial CR2032 (-40°C to 125°C) battery and is accessible on the right side of the IPC 2010. Depending on the operating hours and temperature, the estimated battery life is 2 to 10 years. Battery current is not used when the IPC 2010 is supplied with 24V.

Battery Maintenance

To replace the battery, pull the battery holder (on the right side of the system) out of the system, replace the battery, and insert the battery holder back into the system.

Figure 3: Battery Removal

CAUTION

• Only replace with CR2032 battery. Batteries may explode if mistreated. Do not charge, disassemble, or incinerate.

Serial Console

To gain access to the system, utilize the serial console port (4) by connecting it to the host PC’s RS232 interface using a null modem cable. Once connected, the host can establish a connection by running a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal or Minicom. The default serial port parameters are 115200, and 8N1 The connector is RJ-45 style with pinout as defined in EIA/TIA-561 so that off-the-shelf adapters to DB9 or USB can be used.

The pinout for RJ-45 (8P8C) connector is defined as follows:

Once a serial connection is established, it can be used to determine an IP address that was assigned by the DHCP server, using the command: ip addr

Secure Shell (SSH)
To establish a connection with the system, Ethernet can be used instead of the serial console. The system has an SSH server running on port 22, and the default IP address settings are described below. To connect to the system, use Putty on a Windows host or the default SSH tools on Linux. The login credentials will vary depending on the pre-installed software Ubuntu Linux or PACEdge), so it is advised to refer to the sections below for specific details.

IP-Addresses
On preinstalled systems, the second ethernet interface (Port 2) is configured to use the static IP-Address: 192.168.3.100 and DHCP as well. Therefore (if the second ethernet interface is connected to a DHCP server) two IP addresses are usable on this interface (IP-Address providedthe by the DHCP server and static IP-Address 192.168.3.100).

CAUTION
MULTIPLE DEVICES WITH THE SAME IP ADDRESS ON THE SAME NETWORK CAN LEAD TO ADDRESS CONFLICTS WITH UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR. If you are using several micro IPC devices in the same network, it is strongly recommended to change the static IP Address.

Pre-Installed Software Images

IPC 2010 comes with two pre-installed software options:

• Ubuntu Server 20.04.05 LTS
• PACEdge v2.3.0 (based on Ubuntu 20.04 Server)

Depending on pre-installed software login credentials some of the configuration tasks aredifferente sectionsions below will guide you through the getting started process for each of these software options.

Ubuntu Server Quick Start
Ubuntu Server 20.04.05 LTS software package provides a basic Linux operating system environment on IPC 2010. Software installation contains only basic software packages, but users can easily install additional packages by using the apt command.

Default User and Passwords

Note: This user also has sudo permissions to be able to execute privileged operations and to install additional software packages using the apt command.

Networking Configuration

In Ubuntu Server, the interface Port 1 is named lan1, and the interface Port 2 is named lan0.

CAUTION
MULTIPLE DEVICES WITH THE SAME IP ADDRESS ON THE SAME NETWORK CAN LEAD TO ADDRESS CONFLICTS WITH UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR. If you are using several micro IPC devices in the same network, it is strongly recommended to change the static IP Address.

The static IP-Address can be configured in the following files:

Additional network configuration

If the system obtains an IP address via DHCP, the server may supply additional information like DNS server addresses or the default gateway to configure the client system. If this is not the case, or when using manual IP configuration, some additional settings must be made to obtain full network functionality .

Permanent network configuration is done via netplan and its configuration files in /etc/netplan/. Activate the new configuration after making changes with:

PACEdge Quick Start
PACEdge version 2.3.0 software package is a data acquisition, analytics, and visualization platform based on Ubuntu 20.04 Linux. The following sections will describe the steps to get started. For additional information please consult PACEdge v2.3.0 User Manual. On IPC 2010 PACEdge operates in a headless mode with the user accessing it remotely via Ethernet using a web interface.

Figure 4: Use Case Model

Getting Started

1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port labeled Port2.
2. Setup the User PC Ethernet port IP address to be statically assigned as follows:

Pv4 Static IP: 192.168.3.10
(or similar in the same subnet)

• Netmask: 255.255.255.0

1. Power up the IPC (please consult the initial startup section for details) and wait until it boots.
2. Open the browser of your choice and type in 192.168.3.100 in the address bar.

Note: All Ethernet ports are also configured to get IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server. This dynamically assigned IP address can also be used to access PACEdge.

Initial Login
Upon connecting to PACEdge for the first time, a warning message may display due to the self-signed certificate on the device. The message will state that the identity of the device cannot be confirmed. To proceed please click on Advanced and Accept. Please read and accept the Emerson End User License Agreement (EULA). Once EULA has been accepted you will be redirected to the Password Management screen. PACEdge software consists of multiple software tools and applications, each having its user management and password settings. To simplify the process, PACEdge comes with pre-configured users: admin, developer, service, and operators, each having its password. Use the Password Management screen to change passwords in two steps: 1) for all PACEdge Applications, and 2) for Cockpit/Linux (Figure 5). When changing the passwords, follow instructions on the screen and consult help information accessible via the question mark button in the upper right corner.

Note: For cybersecurity reasons and proper user account setup, the user must change the default passwords at the first login.

Important
Please consult the PACEdge Secure Deployment Guide (GFK-3197) for recommended password changes and other cybersecurity-relevant settings

Important: Please consult the PACEdge Secure Deployment Guide (GFK-3197) for recommended password changes and other cybersecurity-relevant settings.

Additional Information

Overtemperature Alarm
To protect the system from damage and avoid unpredictable behavior, the device will shut down when a temperature limit is reached (the actual limit depends on the system variant). When this limit is reached, the system will shut down and the Temperature LED (2) will light up in red. The system will restart automatically after the temperature has fallen below the threshold hysteresis.

LED Control
If a user needs to control LED behavior directly, this can be achieved in Linux using the pseudo-files located in /sys/class/leds/

Accessing the Boot Loader
The boot loader of IPC 2010 is configured to start the installed Linux O/S automatically without user interaction. If it is necessary to access the boot loader settings or change the boot process, a serial connection cable as described above is required to access the U-boot console. More information about the boot loader and its functionality can be found in the document ‘CPU1v2 U-boot Manual’, which is available from Emerson.
