CC Pilot™ XS
Module description
This section deals with the various parts which make up the CC Pilot™ XS and how
they are used. Depending on your CC Pilot™ XS version Basic, Extended or All-
Integrated the configuration this section can handle functions and interfaces which are
not applicable to your unit.
The different versions are marked with:
•

Storage memory
For storage, a Compact Flash memory card is used, which is a type of non-rotating
hard disc drive. With this method, the CC Pilot™ XS is nearly insensitive to vibrations
which can be a problem when using rotating hard discs.
Besides the hard disc, there are also other types of memory in CC Pilot™ XS: RAM
and Kernel Flash. RAM memory is used by applications and the OS when the
computer is running. This memory is not persistent and will loose its information
whenever the computer is shut down.
The Kernel Flash memory is where the operating system is loaded, which differs from
ordinary computers where the operating system is stored on the hard disc.
CAN
It is possible to connect two CAN-channels to the CC Pilot™ XS to connect a control
system or, for example, the FMS system in a vehicle. The contact for CAN-connections
follows the CANopen standard. CAN-drivers are installed on the onboard computer and
are included, in this case, with the delivery. CC Systems AB is well-experienced with
control via the CAN-interface and both software and drivers are tested in various
environments and under different conditions. Contact CC Systems AB if you need more
information about our CAN-solutions.
Ethernet
With an Ethernet connection, the CC Pilot™ XS can access other units and networks.
The CC Pilot™ XS has support for double Ethernet connections which allows it to, for
instance, act as a gateway in an embedded system.
Be aware that connecting CC Pilot™ XS to a network environment can impose a
security threat. CC Pilot™ XS is in its default setup not secured from external entities
trying to access inbuilt network related functionality such as FTP or Telnet.
