The railroad industry really knows how to put a human machine interface (HMI) PC through the proverbial grinder. Panel PCs rated for railroad work must bring processing power close to the action and stand up to weather, dirty power, dust, shock and vibration. The Axiomtek GOT710S-837 is railway EN50155-certified. It exceeds the above circumstances thanks to its rugged design and fanless cooling construction. Fanless cooling gets rid of the need to push air through the touch panel to keep components in operating temperature range. It increases reliability and helps the device resist humidity and extreme temperatures. This embedded computer works in environments humans can't. It mitigates temperatures as low as -25°C and as high as 70°C and handles high-humidity ranging from 10 percent to 95 percent at 40°C.
Railroad-use HMI computers also exist in outdoor environments, so they need to be equipped with displays that are bright enough to be viewed in full sunlight conditions. The GOT710S-837 sports a sunlight readable 10.4-inch SVGA LCD panel that outputs an impressive 1000 nit brightness. The display features an 800 by 600 resolution, resistive touch screen, and 160° viewing angles.
Since HMI PCs are often installed in vertical panels or cabinets, they rely on touchscreen interfaces for human use. The GOT710S-837 can be customized to include a built-in keypad control on the front IP65 rated bezel that works in conjunction with the existing resistive touch panel. Sometimes buttons offer the best user-experience. The built-in keypad allows for the accuracy and ease of buttons for shortcuts, arrow keys, and other actions that aren't intuitive or convenient on a touch screen.
