The proliferation of passenger information systems (PIS) is challenging railway operators to find more efficient ways of utilising space within the train. The vROK 3030 railway open frame panel PC allows railway operators to replace the traditional setup of box PC, screens, and cables with a sleek vROK 3030 open frame panel PC and screens. It implements the latest Intel Atom® x6414RE processor, supports Windows and Linux operating systems, and is designed for WLAN/WWAN wireless connectivity over Wi-Fi 6E and 5G NR.
Solving the Complicated Cable Conundrum
The typical box PC is installed under the seats or behind panels and then connected to the wall- or ceiling-mounted screens with long cables. This approach takes up a lot of space and makes installation complex, especially managing multiple long cable runs. The vROK 3030 is a CE/FCC Class A, EN50155 certified open frame panel PC for railway applications that provides a space-saving all-in-one replacement for the traditional box PC and external screen. By using a panel PC as one of the screens, the cables from the box PC to the screens are no longer needed, only shorter ones from the vROK 3030 to the extended displays.
Powerful Intel Processor and Plentiful Expansion Options
The vROK 3030 fanless embedded PC features an Intel Atom® x6414RE quad-core processor and a 10.4” TFT LCD monitor with PCAP touch (optional) with 1024 x 768 resolution and sunlight-readable 1200 nits brightness. External display support is handled through an HDMI 1.4b (3840 x 2160@30 Hz) and DisplayPort 1.4 (4096 x 2160@60 Hz) display outputs for a total triple display computer.
Comprehensive Range of Options
The vROK 3030 includes several other flexible installation and use features, including a VESA 75 mount and BOM optional panel/flush mount, and various optional integrated screen options like stretched displays. Two power input options are available, including 24VDC and 110VDC isolated power. The 2.5GbE LAN connection uses a lockable M12 X-coded plug interface for the highest speed transmission.
