PREFACE
The objective of this document is to provide a detailed description of the main technical characteristics of the har-
dware and firmware of the Gefran product called DIGISTAR II and GF-BOX.
Information necessary for a correct use of the products to which the manual refers follows. Such information is
related to the pinout of connectors with relative signals, setup of bridges and connections with external devices.
The majority of the hardware options can be configured by software through the set up data stored in the Eeprom,
therefore there are very few pure hardware options, which simplifies remarkably the configuration of the module
itself.

1 • INTRODUCTION
DIGISTAR II and DIGISTAR II Control are industrial PCs with highly scalable functions and resources.
They are suitable for many industrial applications, from data centralization systems to plant supervisor, as
well as traditional HMI. The Control version can also be used as a machine control unit.
This version combines typical functions of a PC architecture with functions expressly created for control
applications, such as use of the VxWorks operating system with Seven programming environments, all in
a compact frame.
Equipped with TFT display (10.4” with 800x600 pixel resolution, 12.1” with 800x600 pixel resolution,
and 15” with 1024x768 pixel resolution), they can be completed with a resistive touch screen to facilitate
selection and input procedures.
DIGISTAR II and DIGISTAR II Control are equipped with an Intel™ processor; choices include Pentium
Celeron™ 600 MHz, Celeron Mobile™ 1500 MHz.
The special system architecture, based on ETX standard, keeps the product constantly in step with
technological advances. All of the processors are low voltage and do not need cooling fans.
DIGISTAR II and DIGISTAR II Control can be equipped with DOM solid state mass memory (or 2.5” HD
in the Control version) for better configuration based on the application and operating system used.
Thanks to a complete series of ports, such as Ethernet, USB, serial, parallel, PS/2 etc., DIGISTAR II and
DIGISTAR II Control can connect to the many different peripherals used by industry.
An extremely high level of connectivity is obtained by adding optional custom interfaces and standard PCI
(not available on the Control version) and PC104 expansion slots.
Available interfaces include those for CAN and the expansion for RS422/485 serial lines for Modbus.
Some functions on the DIGISTAR II Control, such as keyboard matrix management, LEDs, and timed
autostart logic output, are typical of machine or industrial line control.
Careful construction and mechanical design ensure easy installation, correct access to DIGISTAR II and
DIGISTAR II Control expansions, and correct maintenance to guarantee long life and reliability.
DIGISTAR II is available with Microsoft™ Windows™ XP Professional™ Multilanguage (MUI Pack) or
Microsoft™ Windows™ XP Embedded™ (English) on solid state disk.
DIGISTAR II Control is available with the VxWorks operating system on solid state disk.

GF-BOX is a highly scalable industrial PC in terms of functions and resources.
In particular the typical functions of a PC architecture have been integrated together with some fun-
ctions specifically created for control applications, in a compact case.
The characteristics of GF-BOX allow for it to be used in numerous industrial applications, from the machine
control unit, to the data centralization system. GF-BOX can also be fitted with a remote display up to 25 m.
GF-BOX is equipped with an Intel™ processor; choices include Pentium Celeron™ 600 MHz, Celeron
Mobile™ 1500 MHz or Pentium Mobile™ 1800 MHz.
The special architecture of the system, based on the ETX standard allows for constant adaptation of the
product to technological development.
All of the processors are of a low voltage and low consumption and do not require specific cooling fans
and allow for GF-BOX to be used even in heavy duty environments.
GF-BOX can be fitted with a solid state mass memory of a DOM type or a 2.5” HD for better configura-
tion according to the application and the operative system used.
Thanks to the complete range of ports available such as Ethernet, USB, serial, parallel, PS/2 etc, GF-BOX
can be located in different peripherals that can now also be found in an industrial field. If optional per-
sonalized interfaces and standard expansion slots PC1, PC104 are added to them, an extremely large
level of connectivity is achieved.
The interfaces available include CAN and expansions for serial lines RS422/485 for Modbus.
Some functional characters such as handling of the keyboard matrix, leds and logical output of the auto-
matic timed switch are typical of the machine control or of industrial lines.
The attention given to construction and mechanics allow the user to carry out easy installation, correct
access to the GF-BOX expansions and correct maintenance of the product itself in order to guarantee
duration and reliability along time.
GF-BOX = internal industrial PC with remote video up to 5 m
