Central Control Room System

Monitoring room systems in transportation systems aim to provide optimal communication, security, monitoring, and related technologies, thereby bringing a safe, convenient, comfortable, efficient, and environmentally friendly travel experience to all passengers. Many cities around the world are improving their control room systems, and Xinmai also hopes to contribute its humble efforts. Xinmai's flexible, high-performance professional industrial-grade servers, industrial storage devices with reliable data protection and backup capabilities, and video wall control products supporting 8-40 outputs all provide ideal solutions for system integrators.

Application Cases

Video Wall Controller System

System Requirements
By adopting next-generation video wall controllers equipped with multi-display Matrox MuraTM MPX output/input graphics cards, the display system in the control room can be configured as a large, multi-functional video wall to display various incoming video or data, such as VGA or DVI signal data from various sources: workstations displaying operational maps, Automatic Train Supervision (ATS), Automatic Train Protection (ATP), Automatic Train Operation (ATO) or Passenger Information System (PIS), live platform video CCTV signals, set-top box HDMI signals, etc. A wide video wall composed of multiple displays provides users with a large, easy-to-operate virtual desktop that can respond to rapidly changing environments. This helps improve situational awareness and is also a key factor in performing safe and efficient transportation management.

Railway PSCADA System

System Requirements
In modern railway systems, a reliable power supply is a matter of life and death. Substations along railway lines convert the city power grid into a voltage suitable for trains. Therefore, the equipment in these substations needs to be closely monitored to ensure the normal and safe operation of trains. Advantech industrial-grade servers are rugged, have high computing performance and data storage capabilities, and support power and network redundancy. More importantly, they also provide remote control and management capabilities, making them an ideal choice for PSCADA applications. These features ensure 24/7 system operation and provide maximum security. This is crucial for railway power monitoring, where no errors are tolerated.

NVR Storage Devices

System Requirements
Storage devices are designed for recording and storage applications, making them ideal for surveillance applications such as transportation. Built-in hardware RAID supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and RAID SPANS 10, 50, 60 levels. Additionally, an optional Battery Backup Unit (BBU) is available to provide strict data protection and prevent data loss due to system power failure. The built-in 4 LAN ports support teaming functionality, meeting the high bandwidth requirements of NVRs, and HDD capacity can be expanded via JBOD systems. Xinmai storage device solutions feature comprehensive hardware RAID fault tolerance and online expansion capabilities via JBOD, thus maximizing data availability.

Gigabit Fiber Optic for Long-Distance Data Transmission
Industrial Media Converters

EKI-7659C and EKI-2741F
The control room serves as the system monitoring center and needs to receive a massive amount of information, making data transmission crucial. Xinmai's EKI-7000 series managed switches can provide redundant Ethernet networks with ultra-high-speed recovery times of less than 20ms, ensuring the reliability of information transmission. Furthermore, for modern surveillance systems, images or videos captured by IP cameras need to be transmitted to control rooms located far from local devices. In this scenario, data transmission via fiber optic equipment is the optimal solution. Xinmai's EKI-2741F can convert Ethernet signals into fiber optic signals and can be used to convert Gigabit Ethernet networks into Gigabit fiber optic networks. The EKI-2741 can transmit data to the control center, making it an ideal solution for "fiber-to-the-building" applications in central offices or local sites.
