3 Electronic components in railway applications have to conform with rigid safety levels, often combined with the most rugged environmental requirements. Because of the danger to human life and high downtime costs, reliability must be predictable, regular maintenance must not be required, batteries are not allowed etc. Thus, only the highest quality in development and production guarantees a reliable product for an operation period of 20 years and more.

5 Flexible and Future-Safe with FPGA Technology

FPGAs – Field Programmable Gate Arrays – allow perfect customization of the hardware at an attractive price even in low quantites. With an FPGA device on a computer board it is possible to program parts of the I/O or even a complete microcontroller needed for dedicated control tasks of a specific application without touching the board layout. FPGA technology accelerates time-to-market and reduces project cost. The advantages of using FPGAs become even more exciting in railway applications because...

... FPGAs Perfectly Meet EN 50155 Requirements One of the most critical requirements is a guaranteed operational temperature between -40 and +85°C. Many parts however can only be screened because the component manu facturer often does not guarantee the Tx temperature range according to EN 50155. Since the functionality of many of these components can now be programmed in FPGA, there is only one part which must fulfill the railway requirements and this is the FPGA itself. FPGAs are specified with -40 to +85°C operation temperature. As required by EN 50155 the FPGA is used only within the specification range of the data sheet (which forbids screening). It also conforms to EN, Typical Functions in FPGA CECC or IEC standards, is manufactured The advantage of FPGAs and their nearly un- MEN provides on-board FPGAs for user- according to ISO 9000 and a second source limited availability lies in the fact that – even defined I/O on a wide variety of computing is available. if the device migrates to the next generation platforms.

Electronic boards need packaging that perfectly suits their place of operation. On the other hand they are the interface from the control to the outer world. As a housing or rackmount enclosure they must meet strictly defi ned requirements regarding temperature development, shock and vibration strength or EMC criteria – just as the board itself. Although always built for the customer‘s needs, for reasons of cost a system solution should be based on standard components.

own application software, is designed in-house for every board. 38 References

All boards are available for at least 5 years (Intel®) or 10 years (PowerPC®) – on special agreement up to 20 years.

Most of the cards are at least screened for an ambient operation temperature of -40 to +85°C (Tx), and many of them can even be produced with components in the respective temperature range. Every CPU board is equipped with a specially designed heat sink, which in many cases allows for fanless operation in the system. All the boards have passed the necessary shock and vibration tests in MEN‘s in-house lab and are prepared for coating against humidity, dust, salt fog or chemicals. For coating of boards with BGA components (Ball Grid Arrays), MEN has developed and tested a special technique for underfilling of BGAs together with a renowned inspection and test laboratory.

The necessity to increase speed and density on the rail network and to harmonize the rail communication between countries has led to multiple projects that try to build on the ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) which has been initiated by the European Commission and leading railway representatives in 2005. ERTMS builds on ETCS and GSM-R. ETCS (European Train Control System) is the new control-command system and GSM-R is the new radio system for voice and data communication.

The computers used in traffic management systems – from the signaling equipment outside up to the safety management and communication systems inside the train – must be extremely safe. The safety standard that a system must comply to is described by classes, called SIL levels (Safety Integrity Level). The universal standard IEC61508 defines SIL 4 as the level with the highest reliability down to SIL 1 with the lowest reliability. Measures to increase the availability of a system include a variety of protection mechanisms built in hardware and often even redundancy of the complete computer system or parts of it. Flying... higher and higher. Leave the world behind...... You‘re feeling free.....free.....free.....fr....!

In addition to hardware measures the railway standards EN50126, EN50128 and EN50129 describe how development and planning of development has to be carried out, how requirements are formulated (what has to be done) and how requirements are translated into an architecture (how it shall be done) on system level. MEN uses the V-model to develop its computer hardware, board-support packages and driver software.
