Computer Boards and Systems for Railways-4

Electronic components in railway applications have to conform with rigid safety levels, often combined with the most rugged environmental requirements. Because of the danger to human life and high downtime costs, reliability must be predictable, regular maintenance must not be required, batteries are not allowed etc. Thus, only the highest quality in development and production guarantees a reliable product for an operation period of 20 years and more. Development and therefore the supplier company must conform to ISO 9001. During the design phase the layout of the board and the choice of components...

Computer Boards and Systems for Railways-6

One of the most critical requirements is a guaranteed operational temperature between -40 and +85C. Many parts however can only be screened because the component manu- facturer often does not guarantee the Tx temperature range according to EN 50155. Since the functionality of many of these com- ponents can now be programmed in FPGA, there is only one part which must fulfill the railway requirements and this is the FPGA itself. FPGAs are specified with -40 to +85аC operation temperature. As required by EN 50155 the FPGA is used only within the specification range of the data sheet (which forbids...

Computer Boards and Systems for Railways-8

Electronic boards need packaging that per-fectly suits their place of operation. On the other hand they are the interface from the control to the outer world. As a housing or rackmount enclosure they must meet strictly defi ned requirements regarding temperature development, shock and vibration strength or EMC criteria just as the board itself. Although always built for the customer֑s needs, for reasons of cost a system solution should be based on standard components. >
