A vast number of I/O functions and options seamlessly link the BL51E to the IoT, making vehicles smart.

Robust Panel PC for Interactive Rail Applications
The DC17 panel PC is a rugged, fanless and maintenance-free human-machine interface (HMI) for railway applications. It features a 12.1" display and a projective capacitive touch screen.
Its small ultra-flat mechanical design and configuration options save space in the driver cabin, and allow the panel to be tailored for all types of applications in various train models. In addition, its full software compatibility with the 10.4" DC15 panel PC both increases flexibility and lowers costs, e.g., if an upgrade to a larger panel is necessary.

Multiple Relay Outputs

The mezzanine card M43N is a relay output M-Module for free potential switching of eight signals. The status of each relay can be read out via "read-modify-write" access. The relays implemented guarantee highest reliability and long life. The board is based on the M-Module ANSI mezzanine standard and can be used as an I/O extension in any type of bus system, i.e. CPCI, VME or on any type of stand-alone SBC.

Multiple I/O Functions and Status Indication

The F405 provides multiple I/O functions especially for Automatic Train Operation (ATO). All digital inputs can be operated with common GND or common positive voltage in the range of -110 V to +110 V. The pulse counter inputs can be used to connect a speed sensor and provide frequency and distance measurement as well as direction, standstill and rolling detection as built-in functions which are all integrated in the FPGA.

The board's high-side switching digital outputs support voltages in the range from 24 V to 110 V. The analog outputs provide the output value as voltage or as current. With their programmable cycle and pulse length, the PWM outputs are suitable for, e.g., engine power control.

The status of all inputs and outputs as well as the indication of OK and reset is shown via LEDs on the front panel.

A Flexible Switch in a Common Modular Format

The G101 is a fully managed 3U flexible multiport Gigabit Switch, with a 29 GBit/s Switch matrix, implemented as a CompactPCI Serial board. It occupies one system slot or one peripheral slot using a 4 HP front panel with two Gigabit Ethernet ports on RJ45 connectors and one 2.5 Gb SFP cage. Alternatively, the G101 can be supplied with three M12 A-coded connectors on the front panel. The new backplane concept for MEN routers and switches allows high flexibility in network applications and management.

The CS1 is a FPGA chip with an AFDX-protocol that can be installed directly onto a large variety of boards to build an AFDX end system, and eliminates the need for an additional module. Without modification, the CS1 can be adapted to realize specific requirements like, for example, AFDX/CAN, AFDX/Standard Ethernet, AFDX/ARINC 429 gateway solutions.
