Artesyn Embedded Technologies announced Safety Integrity Level 4 (SIL4) certification for the Artesyn Embedded Computing, Inc. ControlSafe Platform (CSP) with ControlSafe Computer (CSC) and ControlSafe Software, one of the first embedded computing systems to use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components to create a fail-safe and fault-tolerant computing platform for a wide range of train control and rail signaling applications.
The ControlSafe Platform enables rail application developers and system integrators to substantially accelerate time-to-market without being deterred by the potentially high costs and risks associated with the stringent SIL4 system development and certification process, a process that can take multiple years to accomplish.
Designed to deliver best-in-class platform hardware availability of six nines (99.9999%)1, Artesyn’s ControlSafe Platform is designed to meet the functional safety, reliability and availability requirements mandated by rail standards and specifications. This makes Artesyn’s ControlSafe Platform ideal for deployment in safety application environments to protect investment in rail infrastructure.
“With this SIL4 certification issued by TÜV SÜD, one of the most trusted certification bodies worldwide, we are showing a commitment to rail industry customers with an unmatched, highly reliable platform with 15 years of planned product life and 25 years of extended support and service available,” Linsey Miller, marketing vice president, Artesyn Embedded Technologies, said.
