Introduction

The Mitsubishi Electric Automation MC300 Series Workstation Industrial Com- puter features an Intel Pentium III CPU on a single board computer, in various sizes to fit your application needs. An active matrix LCD with resistive-type touchscreen is mounted in a rugged steel enclosure, with Zinc plating for opti- mum noise immunity, along with a flat NEMA4/4X sealing bezel to form an aesthetically pleasing package.

The MC Series Computers are intended for applications requiring the highest reliability, as with all Mitsubishi electronic components. Operating systems are included as part of every package. Optional operating systems and application software can be installed upon request, providing an “Out of the Box” solution for your custom application. The computers are NEMA 4/4X, as well as CE, UL/CUL & FCC Class I compliant, and are rated to operate from 0 to 50 ºC, at

anon-condensing humidity of 10–95%

The Workstation is a high-performance IBM® PC-compatible computer adapted for applications in harsh factory environments. The rugged, flat-panel TFT display is currently available in 2 sizes — 12-inch and 15-inch — and is de- signed to be protected from oil, dust or water damage (NEMA 4/4x approval rating). A 17-inch Display Model (MC350) will be available soon!

For all models there are 6 slots for expansion cards — 3 PCI, 2 ISA, and 1 PICMG. As an industrially hardened complete package, the Workstation is designed to withstand vibration, electrical noise interference, and a wide range of temperatures.

This manual will take you through the steps necessary to get your MC300 Series Workstation Computer installed and running in the shortest possible time. This manual covers Models MC300 and MC320.
