City of Industry, Calif., January 25, 2024 – Axiomtek, a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted to the research, development, and manufacture of innovative and reliable industrial computer products of high efficiency, is pleased to introduce the tBOX520, its new EN 50155, EN 45545-2 certified modular embedded system for railway applications. The fanless transportation embedded system is powered by the 12th gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 or Celeron® processor (code name: Alder Lake-P). Its adaptability to various applications is enhanced by the support of versatile VAM modules, allowing customers to employ a single configuration for diverse settings and time to market. To overcome voltage fluctuations or power outage interruptions, the tBOX520 is equipped with 24V to 110V wide-range DC input with ignition power control. The all-in-one transportation system is also built to withstand extreme temperatures of -40 to +70°C, meeting the stringent OT4 operating temperature class specified by the EN 50155 certification for railway-focused embedded PCs.
“Eliminating concerns for verification and certification, the market-ready tBOX520 is EN 50155 and EN 45545-2 certified. In addition to high computing performance, the tBOX520 offers versatile support for value-added modules catering to diverse I/O needs, including COM, LAN, DIO, PoE, CAN, and BNC interfaces to support a range of peripherals and connections. Through integration with the VAM708 module featuring four M12 A-code LAN ports with LAN Bypass function, this railway embedded system ensures uninterrupted communication and networking flow. Furthermore, the tBOX520 provides a smart ignition solution for effective power management, minimizing unnecessary power consumption after the vehicle stops running,” said Violet Hsu, the product manager of the Product PM Division at Axiomtek.
The tBOX520 has two DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM slots for up to 32GB of system memory and one M.2 Key M 2280 slot for high-speed NVMe SSD, offering an overall boost of computational performance. In addition, it has two swappable 2.5-inch SATA drives with Intel® RAID 0/1. For more expansion, the fanless embedded system offers one full-size PCIe Mini Card slot with support of USB/PCIe for LTE, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth modules, one M.2 Key A+E slot for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth modules, one M.2 Key B slot for 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth modules, as well as two nano SIM card slots for easy access to the network. Combining flexible configuration and easy expansion design, this all-in-one box computer supports rich I/O interfaces including one 2.5GbE LAN, four USB 3.0, two type A HDMI 1.4b (4K) one DB9 serial console or RS-232/422/485, one Mic-in, one Line-out, one reset button, one power button, and eight antenna openings. The tBOX520 is compatible with Windows® 11 64-bit, and Ubuntu 22.04.
