Technical FAQ

Q1: How do I choose a railway computer for rolling stock and wayside applications?

A: A railway computer should be selected based on power architecture, environmental requirements, connectivity, installation space, and workload. For rolling stock applications, EN 50155 certification, wide DC input with galvanic isolation, vibration-resistant connectors, and wide-temperature operation are particularly important. The RBOX-1001-M12X is EN 50155 certified and combines 24–110V DC galvanically isolated power input, M12 connectivity, and a compact 1U-ready design for deployment in onboard and wayside railway systems.

Q2: Why is galvanic isolation important for onboard railway computers?

A: Railway power networks can be exposed to voltage fluctuations, transients, and differences in ground potential between connected equipment. Galvanic isolation electrically separates the computer from the input power source, helping prevent ground loops and electrical disturbances from affecting internal electronics. The RBOX-1001-M12X supports a galvanically isolated 24–110V DC input, allowing it to integrate with a wide range of railway power systems while improving electrical robustness.

Q3: Can the RBOX-1001-M12X run Edge AI inference for railway applications?

A: Yes. For applications that require additional AI acceleration, one of the M.2 2280 slots can accommodate an optional Hailo AI accelerator delivering up to 26 TOPS. This enables localized AI inference for applications such as onboard video analytics, passenger safety monitoring, and railway infrastructure monitoring without continuously sending video or sensor data to the cloud. Actual AI performance depends on the accelerator configuration, AI model, framework, and workload.

Q4: How can the RBOX-1001-M12X support onboard video surveillance and data storage?

A: The system provides two M.2 2280 storage interfaces, allowing system integrators to separate operating system and application storage from high-capacity video or operational data storage. Combined with dual 2.5GbE M12 X-coded Ethernet interfaces, the platform can receive and process high-bandwidth network data while recording video or other mission-critical information locally. One M.2 2280 interface can alternatively be used for an AI accelerator when local inference is required.

Q5: How can the RBOX-1001-M12X integrate with railway networks, communication systems, and onboard devices?

A: The RBOX-1001-M12X provides dual 2.5GbE through M12 X-coded connectors, RS-232/422/485, digital I/O, USB, and internal expansion for wireless connectivity. M.2 expansion supports WWAN with dual Nano SIM, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and optional GNSS configurations, allowing system integrators to connect onboard networks, communication equipment, positioning systems, sensors, and peripheral devices within a single railway computing platform.
