Rugged Computer enables automatic train control systems.
March 20, 2013 -
Housed in aluminum enclosure with dual shock and vibration protection, M-Max 400 ST/USO provides error-free signaling information processing, based on 2-out-of-2 architecture in full compliance with CENELEC SIL4 specifications. Unit contains 2 identical subsystems connected to each other via internal interface. Once per cycle, CPUs are synchronized with each other to exchange data and perform consistency cross-checks. UPS ultracapacitors provide system with 70 sec of backup power.

MicroMax Announced Completion of Field Test for M-Max 400 ST/USO
New York – MicroMax announced today that the field testing of their latest system for railroad Automatic Train Control (ATC) application has been successfully completed and that the M-Max 400 ST/USO will be on display at Embedded World 2013 in Nuremberg.
Sam Abarbanel, President of MicroMax, stated “We are extremely proud that the newest addition to the M-Max family of computers has completed all stringent RRR field tests. The MMax 400 ST/USO is the major part enabling an enhanced ATC system that increases railroad traffic capacity by 10% without any changes in the rolling stock. Our technology can ensure better operation while improving reliability, and this show is definitely the best venue to demonstrate what we can do.”
The Max 400 ST/USO is an error-free rugged computer for on-board and off-the-shelf applications. It is built to provide error-free signaling information processing, based on 2-out-of-2 architecture in full compliance with CENELEC SIL4 specifications. The Max 400 ST/USO contains two identical subsystems connected to each other via an internal interface. Each subsystem has its own processing core and a UPS employing an intelligent ultracapacitor-based charging device.
The Max 400's two independent CPUs form a vital processing core and perform calculations in different ways. Once per cycle they are synchronised with each other to exchange data and perform consistency cross-checks. The UPS ultracapacitors provide the system with 70 seconds of backup power. The system is designed for use on stationary objects within a railway infrastructure.
The M-Max line offers performance comparable to high end desktop systems at a fraction of the size. The fanless M-Max, housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure with dual shock and vibration protection, is designed for operation in harsh environments including extreme temperatures, dust, humidity and vibration. MicroMax, as a manufacturer of industrial computers, takes a customized approach to each client – with their engineering group designing M-Max systems to fit the specific technical requirements of the customer.
