Kontron expands its TRACe(TM) family of operational computers designed specifically for the railway market: The Kontron TRACe-B40x-TR, a EN50155 certified fanless generic platform, features the latest Intel® Atom(TM) E3900 series processors and 6th Generation Intel® Core(TM) processors. The first released variant is the Kontron TRACe-B404-TR, based on the Intel® Atom(TM) x5-E3940 quad-core @ 1.6 GHz high performance per watt processor, with 8 GB DDR3L memory and 32 GB SLC eMMC Flash.
TRACe(TM) offers a range of rugged and flexible railway computers for integrators and system designers to easily customize and rapidly deploy specialized applications and new infrastructures. Already field-proven in operation worldwide, the TRACe(TM) product line addresses the broadest range of modern, connected rolling stock applications through easily customizable, EN50155 pre-certified (EMC, EMI, climatic, shock, and vibrations), application-oriented computer profiles – allowing multiple applications to run on the same platform, such as video surveillance, recording, and distribution (storage, processing), passenger infotainment systems, train control & monitoring systems, train-to-ground communications, asset management, and predictive maintenance.
The Kontron TRACe(TM) family benefits from the inherent flexibility advantages of Kontron’s COM Express® Computer-on-Module (COM), featuring the Intel® Atom(TM) E3940 (quad-core up to 1.80 GHz) up to the Intel® Core(TM) i7 6600-U (dual-core up to 3.4Ghz) performance class processor in the same form factor. These platforms feature high performance density and low power consumption in a small footprint, low profile design that offers integrators higher flexibility in terms of the number of available I/O. The family also provides long-term support by design based on its modularity and seamless technology insertion of the processor, storage, I/O. and power supply unit.
All Kontron’s TRACe(TM) transportation computing platforms integrate advanced health management tools. Equipped with a dedicated microcontroller to monitor all functions, TRACe enables operators to permanently, continuously and independently monitor and report the status of the application executed in parallel with normal operations. This health management unit is fully integrated in the CMON-Line Monitoring module by Kontron, offering a turnkey, extensible and data centric solution for local or remote computer health monitoring. This makes TRACe(TM) ideally suited for fleet management of a large number of units in the field. Its health management tools enable operators to monitor the entire fleet to better manage and anticipate maintenance, reduce turn-around times, and increase the overall availability of the units.
