MEN: safe BSPs for SIL 4 railway computer
The new safe BSPs for QNX and PikeOS ensure that both the
hardware and software components of its F75P 3U CompactPCI
SBC meet safe railway computing requirements. MEN’s dual-re-
dundant F75P serves as the core of a new line of SIL 4 certifiable
computing systems currently in development used for safe train
control. The SBC incorporates two independent Intel processors,
and a third Intel processor implemented at the top most proto-
col layer that controls the I/O without interfacing with any safety
protocols.
Syslogic: Embedded computers for railways on show
Syslogic has a complete portfolio of certified railway computers that
the company will be showcasing at InnoTrans. Syslogic‘s railway
computers are used in innumerable railway applications. For instance,
they can be used as board computer or video recorder. The Syslogic
railway computers are available in a variety of housings and inter-
face configurations. All railway computers have sturdy industrial
construction and railway certification complying with EN50155 (TX
class).
Axiomtek: 4th gen Core Mini ITX moth-
erboard with rich I/O and HDMI
Axiomtek announce the arrival of the MANO881, a new mini-ITX
motherboard with Intel H81 Express chipset. The product offers

VadaTech announces Express Development Platforms
VadaTech now offers Express Development Platforms. The system
platforms are standard, high versatile configurations designed to
meet a wide range of development needs. The first two chassis in
the series, the EXP100 and EXP200 feature 6 AMC slots and 2 AMC
slots respectively in 1U enclosure height. Both versions have an
integrated low-cost shelf manager and universal AC power.
N.A.T.: MCH for Physics or MTCA.4 applications
with optical and copper PCIe uplinks
The most recent member of the NAT-MCH family of products, the
NAT-MCH-PHYS80, is addressing the requirements for higher
bandwidth to both AMCs and the rear transition slot of the MCH as
well as for optcial and copper uplinks in PCIe based MTCA.4 systems,
targeting at large control and data acquisition applications.
Diamond: PCIe/104 OneBank serial I/O
modules offer 4 or 8 serial ports
Diamond Systems introduced Emerald-MM-8EL-XT, a family of
high performance PCIe/104 OneBank serial I/O modules offer-
ing 4 or 8 serial ports with software-controlled configuration and
optional opto-isolation. The serial ports are based on a high speed
PCIe octal UART with 256-byte TX/RX FIFOs and auto RS-485
transmit control. Each serial port can be independently configured
for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 protocols, along with programmable
120-ohm line termination.
