To help ensure railway control systems maintain reliable operation, GE has launched its new RXi-XR Industrial PC (IPC). The new RXi-XR IPC provides transport systems such as inner-city, monorail and regional trains with a rugged, versatile computer capable of functioning in the demanding and harsh environments typically associated with these applications.
“Modern rail applications can create harsh operating conditions for their required electronic components. … When designing our RXi-XR IPC, we incorporated many factors to ensure the unit would meet and exceed industry standards for temperature and ruggedness while still offering the performance that our customers expect,” said Vibhoosh Gupta, product management leader, GE’s Automation & Controls solutions.
The new RXi-XR IPC’s featured fanless, solid-state design and industrial-strength components enable it to meet EN50155 standards for electromagnetic, temperature, shock and vibration compatibility in railway applications. The IPC’s design also meets the IP67 rating for dust and moisture protection, ensuring that the unit is dust tight and can withstand up to 1 meter of liquid immersion.
The RXi-XR IPC’s patented heat dissipation technology enables the unit to boast an operational temperature range of -40 C to 70 C, enabling the computer to perform in extreme temperature conditions.
