Application Cases

Passenger Information System
System Requirements Passenger Information Systems (PIS) can provide information such as weather forecasts, train speed, and arrival times, which is very important for passengers and operating staff. An ideal Passenger Information System has the following characteristics: stability, lockable (M12 connectors), EN 50155 certification, and easy maintenance. Advantech's ITA-5 series can meet all these requirements. In addition, the ITA-5 series supports large storage capacity and can interconnect with all types of media devices; it can also serve as a hub to provide multimedia broadcasts and entertainment content for railway passengers. PIS systems should be deployed in data centers that collect and transmit all information. When designing a rugged Passenger Information System, system performance and stability are particularly important. The ITA-5 series is the optimal integrated PIS solution for railway vehicle applications.

Train Surveillance System
System Requirements The ITA-5 series provides a surveillance system solution for railway applications, which assists railway operators in monitoring and maintaining passenger safety. During operation, the status of each train car can be recorded by IP cameras and transmitted to control equipment via network switches. With real-time and high-definition images displayed on the control equipment, managers can simultaneously monitor the status of each car. The ITA-5 series is 50155 certified and equipped with M12 connectors, ensuring secure I/O connections during train operation. Furthermore, the ITA-5 series supports wide-temperature operation, providing a powerful and stable surveillance system to ensure passenger safety. The ITA-5 series is an integrated railway-specific system that meets the stringent requirements of railway vehicle applications.

EN 50155 Railway Tablet PC
System Requirements A 10.4" TFT Tablet PC features IP65-rated full-body optical bonding, conformal coating on internal boards, and wide-temperature support, designed for extreme global railway environment applications, helping locomotive engineers stay informed about train status. The Tablet PC offers high reliability, suitable for varying railway climatic conditions such as altitude, air pressure, and temperature. The Tablet PC comes with 2 Ethernet ports, serial ports, USB interfaces, and built-in CFast devices. The railway power module supports a 10ms interruption (EN 50155, S2), an EMI EN 55022 Class A filter, and overcurrent or short-circuit protection, making it ideal for railway applications. The product's installation method is also specifically designed for locomotive applications. Furthermore, the product complies with the test requirements for EMC, shock, and vibration in the European railway application standards EN 50155 and EN 45545.
M12 Industrial Ethernet Switches for Train Communication

EKI-6000 Series Xinmai's M12 switches are EN50155 certified, meeting a wide range of applications on moving trains, as they ensure data transmission under vibration and various conditions. They are also reliably applied in Passenger Information Systems (PIS) with LCD and LED display boards to provide travel information, news, and advertisements; Video Entertainment Systems (VES) provide entertainment information distribution installed on the back of each seat, and simultaneously offer IP surveillance, ensuring these devices can reliably connect with cameras. Suitable for various operating vehicles, they enhance train safety and video surveillance, including power outlet locations, voltage fluctuations, and synchronous data transmission and storage in subway tunnels. Compliant with the EN50155 standard, the EKI-6000 series industrial Ethernet switches are the most suitable solution for train vehicle management systems.
