The latest industrial computer for intelligent railway applications has been released and is expected to help with the safe movement of passengers and the maintenance of related systems.

Moxa, an IRIS-certified railway communications solution provider, has launched the V2403C series, a new powerful industrial computer compliant with E1 mark, EN 50121-4, and ISO 7637-2 requirements, to simplify these maintenance tasks in rolling stock and trackside applications.

The V2403C series is designed based on Moxa's extensive expertise in building powerful computing platforms, providing outstanding computing performance and stable wireless connectivity, and supports a wide operating temperature range for application in harsh conditions.

Designed for field use, the V2403C computer is built on Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 or Intel® Celeron® high-performance processors and features up to 32GB of RAM, one mSATA slot, and two hot-swappable 2.5-inch SSDs for storage expansion.

This ultra-compact fanless computer has two built-in mPCIe slots for I/O expansion, supporting multiple display expansion for field monitoring from the control room, so the specifications required for the field can be easily applied for real-time status checks and control of the work site.

Vehicle and trackside applications require robust computers capable of extending functionality for surrounding sensors, cameras, and devices, as well as wireless (Wi-Fi, cellular) technologies.

In addition, it must be designed to handle 'dirty power' generated during engine start and safety shutdown in order to maintain system stability and preserve the train's battery life.

The V2403C computer complies with the requirements of E1 Mark, MIL-STD-810G, and ISO 7637-2, enabling it to operate reliably even under shocks and vibrations commonly encountered in railway applications, and also complies with EN 50121-4 for trackside applications.

The V2403C series computers are equipped with a built-in power cutoff delay function that protects equipment from unstable power to provide stable movement and ensure passenger safety.

In addition, it combines high performance, a robust design, a compact size, wireless connectivity, and enhanced security features, making it suitable for automotive and trackside applications that perform critical functions.
