Rail Certified Industrial PCs

Rail Certified Industrial PCs for Railway and Transit Applications

Railway and transit systems place strict requirements on computing hardware due to constant vibration, electrical noise, wide temperature ranges, and long operational lifecycles. Rail-certified industrial PCs are purpose-built platforms designed to meet these conditions while complying with railway standards governing safety, reliability, and electromagnetic compatibility.

Westward Sales offers a range of railway-rated industrial PCs engineered for deployment in rolling stock, onboard control systems, wayside infrastructure, and transit environments. These systems are designed to meet certification requirements such as EN 50155 and EN 50121, supporting stable operation in electrically and mechanically demanding rail applications.

By focusing on certified designs rather than general-purpose industrial hardware, railway computers help ensure regulatory compliance while delivering dependable performance across the full lifecycle of rail and transit systems.

Industrial Connectivity and Serviceable Storage

Isolated CAN bus and RS-232/422/485 interfaces support reliable communication with vehicle subsystems and external controllers. Storage access is designed for serviceability, with a front-accessible CompactFlash socket and internal HDD bay to simplify data replacement and maintenance workflows.

Rugged, Fanless Design for Mobile Environments

The system is housed in a heavy-duty enclosure engineered to withstand shock and vibration common in transportation and mobile installations. A fanless thermal design enables continuous operation across extended temperature ranges, supporting deployment in environments with limited airflow and maintenance access.

Processing Performance and Power Protection

For higher-demand workloads, the tBOX313 is available with a quad-core Intel Atom processor, increasing processing capability while maintaining low power consumption. The power input circuitry is certified to protect against electrical transients, ensuring stable operation within vehicle power systems.

Expansion and I/O Flexibility

The platform includes isolated serial interfaces, Ethernet LAN, CAN bus connectivity, and digital I/O to support a wide range of transportation and control applications. Expansion options include multiple PCIe Mini Card slots and dual SIM support, enabling flexible configuration for wireless communication and additional I/O requirements.

Long-Term Deployment Support

An optional five-year warranty supports long-term deployment and lifecycle planning, making the system suitable for transportation applications where longevity and service continuity are critical.

Selecting the Right Transportation Computing Platform

Transportation computers represent only one component of a broader system architecture. Many rail and transit deployments rely on edge computers to perform localized processing close to vehicles, sensors, and control systems, improving reliability and reducing latency.

Industrial PCs Built to Meet Railway Certification Requirements

Westward Sales supplies rail-certified industrial PCs designed for real-world railway and transit deployment, combining compliant hardware design with long-term reliability and industrial-grade performance. These systems support a wide range of onboard and infrastructure applications while meeting the certification standards required for rail environments.
