Fanless railway computer system announced by Backplane Systems Technology

The MRT-7000R from Backplane Systems Technology is purposely built for rolling stock applications.

BACKPLANE Systems Technology is pleased to present iBase’s MRT-7000R, which is an EN50155/EN45545 certified fanless railway computer system that is powered by a 2.6GHz 7th/6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-6600U processors.

Purposely built for various rolling stock applications such as train control and management, passenger information, entertainment and communications, and surveillance, the rugged MPT-7000R computing solution provides an optimal combination of high performance with low power consumption.

It is equipped with ruggedised, lockable M12 connectors for firm I/O connections in the course of train travel and silently operates at temperatures from -20°C to +55°C. In addition, these platforms undergo numerous tests to follow EN50155/EN45545 standards and protect them against shocks, vibration, humidity, temperature variations and excessive voltages.

The MPT-7000R is available in two models, one for 24VDC input (MPT-7000R) and the other for 72/110VDC input (MPT-7000RHV). The M12 Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0 and power input connectors are on the rear, as well as a PCI-E (x4) socket. For easy access and maintenance, the front panel comes with a CFAST socket, a 2.5” drive bay, two SIM sockets, two USB 3.0 and four antenna connections.
