Axiomtek is pleased to introduce the GOT712-837, its EN50155 certified 12.1" fanless touch panel computer for railway applications. The railway panel PC is design to support the low power quad-core Intel Atom processor E3845 1.91GHz, and is equipped with a 12.1" XGA TFT LCD display with high brightness LED backlight (800 nits) and auto-dimming control, which allows a train operator to easily read any operational status messages, even under direct sunlight.

Design for ease of use and maintenance, the GOT712-837 has an alternative keypad control on the front panel for easy access and cleaning purposes. Moreover, this feature-rich panel PC has IP65 water/dust-proof front bezel, M12-type connectors with 1.5KV isolation and anti-vibration design. The 12.1" railway panel computer is particularly suitable for demanding IIoT HMI applications in the railway sector, including tasks like monitoring and controlling speed, temperature and security, or for fleet management.

The Intel Bay Trail SoC railway panel PC, GOT712-837, applies unique extended temperature technology with wide temperature range support (-25 to +70°C) as well as fanless design, which requires zero fan maintenance cost. Its waterproof M12-type connector sensure tight, robust connections for heavy vibration environments in railway applications, and the railway power module supports 10ms interruption (EN50155, S2) to protect system against over/short electrical currents.

“The sunlight readable GOT712-837 is suitable for use on a train operator’s desk control to display content including video streams from the vehicle’s surveillance system and vehicle diagnostic system messages, or even as a means to control certain operations including the train’s door system, windshield wipers, air condition, passenger information system or track level crossings,” said Debbie Tu, product manager at Product PM Division. “This 12.1" EN50155 certified panel PC is extremely reliable and suitable for railway applications.”

The high brightness EN50155 train panel PC GOT712-837 supports 16GB onboard flash and one mSATA port. To meet various transportation application needs, it’s equipped with rich I/O connectivity including two isolated RS-232/422/485 COM ports, two isolated USB 2.0 ports, two Gigabit LAN ports, 6-IN/2-OUT DIO, and one CAN bus. Two PCI Express Mini Card slots are available for wireless network connections. To ensure the 12.1” railway touch panel PC’s use in a variety of different locations, the rugged panel system supports various mounting selections for panel mount, wall mount, VESA arm and desktop stand. Furthermore, it is also ready for Windows 8.1, WE8S, Windows 7 or WES7.
