Rugged Computer Boards and Systems for
Harsh, Mobile and Mission-Critical Environments
Harsh, Mobile and Mission-Critical Environments
Application Examples for PowerPC Processors
Nuclear and Elementary Beam Monitoring
The acceptance of the VMEbus standard as a common hardware platform for the electron and proton accelerators motivated a modular approach in electronics design, where the acquisition and digitization of monitor signals is done in customized front-end electronics, while digital data processing, analysis and transfer to the control system as well as data distribution for feedback applications is accomplished by a 6U VMEbus board as a common digital processing and communication platform. ...
Measurement of Atmospheric Turbulences
Helipod is a self-sufficient airborne measuring probe with its own power supply using batteries, navigation systems, data processing and mass storage. ...
Flight Attendance Panel
A robust single-board computer is the heart of this flight attendant panel which controls the electrical signals from the plane and serves as a Human-Machine Interface for the crew. ...
Cargo Load Control
The cargo load system on board the A400M freight plane is used for air dropping paratroops and equipment via parachute or gravity extraction. ...
Ventilators for Anesthesia
One important means of reaching the highest possible safety level in automation of life-critical respiratory support devices is redundant design: In this safety-critical application, two identical computer-on-modules based on the ESM™ standard are used to control several different types of ventilation devices. ...
Locomotive Control
In this application, a DIN rail based OEM control system is used for centralized or decentralized control, monitoring and diagnosis of all functions during drive and brake operation. ...
Maintenance Train Control
Heavy stress by vibrations and shock during automatic ballasting or tamping as well as the wide temperature range during day and night operation call for extremely rugged electronic equipment in track-laying and track maintenance machinery. ...
Underground Station Management System
These railway traffic management electronics for fully automated underground systems are based on VMEbus components in double Eurocard form with M-Modules™ providing additional RS232 interfaces. ...
ETCS Train Protection System
The electronic equipment in this application is part of an ETCS level 2 system. ...
Textile Machine Supervision
These Human-Machine Interfaces are used in the interaction with different types of textile machines like (ring) spinning or winding machines, controlling operation of the machines as well the processes, data storage and management. ...
Speed Camera Control
To make traffic management safer and to achieve a smoother, quieter and calmer traffic flow, computer-controlled multi camera systems are used for speed and red light offenses. ...
Tightening System
Industrial tightening systems are used for the assembly of manifold parts, for example in automated car production, in valves, in pumps or in generators. ...
Nuclear Reactor Control
The control of nuclear reactors requires computer systems with the highest level of safety, reliability and availability, calling for electronics qualified for very harsh industrial environments and redundant system design. ...
Driverless Bus Guidance Computer
The PowerPC®-based computers used in this project control the speed and direction of a driverless bus, with the bus moving on an "invisible" lane. ...
Cockpit Display Computer
A rugged Computer-On-Module is the heart of all kinds of airborne video and control displays that are necessary for the information of the pilot, e.g. ...
