- 4. 1. For which markets can I use the CB30C COM module?
- 5. 1. For which markets can I use the CB30C COM module? The CB30C can be used in all markets which need to be robust and/or safety-related applications. Due to the EN 50155-compliance and SIL 2-certification it is ready to use and highly cost-effective for railways. But even for industrial applications which do not require any ruggedization, the CB30C is also available as normal COM Express module, compliant to COM Express Basic type 6.
- 6. 2. What makes the CB30C COM module rugged?
- 7. The CB30C is developed according to the Rugged COM Express standard, VITA 59. Based on proven COM Express form factors, this standard defines the mechanical measures to make the boards really robust. It is realized by adding a massive aluminum frame around the electronics, which protects the electronics from outs- ide influences like dust, humidity or EMC interferences, allows an extended temperature range from theoretically up to -55 to +125°C with conduction cooling and gives the possibility to firmly screw it on the carrier for shock and vibration resistance. 2.

- 8. 3. What makes the CB30C COM module safe?
- 9. On the CB30C different mechanism are implemented to ensure safe and reliable operation. It is developed in accordance with EN 50128, EN 50129, IEC 61508 and comes with SIL 2 certificates from TÜV SÜD. The functional safety architecture is based on monitoring all safe CPU subsystem environmental conditions, e.g., voltages and temperature. If safe operation of the CPU subsystem cannot be guaranteed, the safe supervisor (SUPV) removes the power of the subsystem, ensuring all external communications are stopped. An onboard event logger helps to analyze errors while reducing software overhead. 3. What makes the CB30C COM module safe?
- 10. 4. It is safe and robust. But what about I/O?
- 11. With its focus on safe design, the CB30C still offers ample I/O functionality, including two or three Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express interfaces, two SATA channels, up to four USB 2.0 ports, UARTs and general-purpose I/O. DVI or LVDS can be implemented for graphics functions. Up to 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM with ECC support and a soldered eMMC storage device round out the CPU. 4. It is safe and robust. But what about I/O?
- 12. 5. COM Express but PowerPC processor?
- 13. Yes, that’s another advantage of Rugged COM Express RCE. Unlike other COM standards limited to x86 chip- sets only, RCE is processor independent for scalability and flexibility. Current modules accommodate a variety of Intel, PowerPC and ARM processors to satisfy application-specific requirements ranging from low-power mobile apps to high-end communications platforms. 5.
