Extended System Functionality in Safe, Modular Train Control from MEN MicroBLUE BELL, Pa., Jan. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MEN Micro now offers a series of rugged I/O boards for use with the menTCS (MEN Train Control System), designed for safe train operation. The four new EN 50155-compliant cards offer added system functionality with a variety of safe I/O functions as well as certifications up to SIL 4 (safety integration level) depending on the number of boards implemented.
Safe I/O Extension A SIL 4 certification package is available for all I/O boards together and a single I/O board can be used to reach SIL 2. Two combied boards are required to reach SIL 3 and SIL 4. This scalable approach reduces cost in case a lower SIL level is sufficient. Alternatively, two identical I/O boards can support hot stand-by, ensuring availability when required for critical functions. Each board includes integrated supervisor functions, including FSoE communication (Fail Safe over Ethernet), and is optically isolated from other cards within the system. All I/O components are connected via spring cage terminal blocks, reducing wiring for fast installation and support the full voltage range from 14.4 VDC to 154 V DC.
