Artesyn Expands ControlSafe™ SIL4 COTS Rail Computing Platform to Address More Train Control and Rail Signaling Applications
At the InnoTrans exhibition today, Artesyn Embedded Technologies unveiled the ControlSafe
Provides cost-effective solution for high I/O capacity wayside applications
BERLIN, GERMANY - Media OutReach: At the InnoTrans exhibition today, Artesyn Embedded Technologies unveiled the ControlSafe™
Expansion Box Platform a COTS computing system designed to be certified to SIL4, which can substantially accelerate time-to-market for
the deployment of new and upgrades to train control and rail signaling systems. The platform, an extension of the company's ControlSafe
Platform, with a larger chassis to house larger I/O modules, can either be configured as a dual-redundant safety system like the
ControlSafe Platform or deployed as an I/O expansion subsystem.
ControlSafe™ Expansion Box Platform
Linsey Miller, marketing vice president, Artesyn Embedded Technologies, said: "By leveraging the same technologies and safety
architecture as our original ControlSafe Platform, but with more capacity, the new ControlSafe Expansion Box Platform will significantly
enhance the growing Artesyn ControlSafe product portfolio. The shared safety architecture makes it easy to transfer applications between
the two and deploy a common platform for a wide range of rail signaling and train control applications. For example, one of our
customers is using the ControlSafe Expansion Box Platform for a computer-based interlocking application in large and busy train stations
where increased I/O capacity was needed. Artesyn's expertise in safety systems for rail - as shown by the recent SIL4 certification of our
ControlSafe Platform - means that customers can avoid the potentially high costs and risks associated with this system development and
certification process and can use a COTS product."
Artesyn will demonstrate the ControlSafe product portfolio -- including both the ControlSafe Expansion Box Platform and the ControlSafe
Platform variants -- at the InnoTrans exhibition (Hall 6.1, booth 226) in Berlin, Germany between September 20th and 23th, 2016.
Artesyn's ControlSafe product portfolio is designed to meet all the functional safety, reliability and availability requirements mandated by
rail standards and specifications. It implements an innovative data lock-step architecture and hardware-based voting mechanism that
supports high performance modern processors, and is modular, scalable and designed to seamlessly accommodate additional I/O
interfaces as well as upgraded processors that will be required throughout the product life cycle.
In addition, the ControlSafe Expansion Box Platform and ControlSafe Platform allow application developers to migrate existing application
software with minimal modifications. Deployable in both wayside and carborne applications, Artesyn's ControlSafe platforms are designed
to support a broad range of I/O modules such as CAN, Ethernet, Ethernet Ring, UART, digital, analog and GPS/Wireless. Artesyn can also
develop specific I/O solutions to meet unique application requirements.
