2.5″ HDD or SSD

The G503 is a CompactPCI Serial hard disk drive carrier board for use in a system environment with an x86 processor. It is designed to carry two 2.5″ SATA hard disk or solid state drives.

SATA RAID Controller

The HDD or SSD are controlled by an on-board SATA RAID Controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and JBOD and hot plug. The RAID level can be set using a hex switch on the board.

The G503 can be used to supplement the RAID functionality provided by the CPU board in order to implement data storage systems with high reliability and capacity.

Front Panel Status LEDs

The unit’s front panel features six LEDs signalizing board status (Power, Locate, Activity, Hot-Plug/Error and Eject).

For Mission Critical Tasks and Harsh Environments

The board supports a 2 ms HDD power hold-up time for protecting the stored data in case of a power failure, which makes it applicable also for mission-critical tasks.

In addition to industrial applications, its compliance with the EN 50155 standard makes the board also suitable for railways applications.

The G227 is a rugged single slot CompactPCI Serial carrier board for up to three PCI Express Mini Cards. Two PCI Express Mini Card slots are by default equipped with two RP-SMA antenna connectors / cables each. Other types of antenna connectors are available on request. These slots can be used for UMTS, GSM, HSPA, LTE modems.

Fields of Application

The G227 provides connectivity solutions to cellular networks by adding LTE, UMTS, GSM or other types of wireless modems.

It is intended for use in various train connectivity applications including onboard WLAN, passenger infotainment and fleet management systems. In the train communication system architecture, the G227 is typically located at the front end where it communicates directly with a cellular network. To optimize the connection and network coverage, the G227 features ten microSIM card slots.

Software

MEN provides a user friendly software tool designed for interacting with the G227. The user is able to remotely control which microSIM cards are connected to the modems. Remote power reset is also possible for each modem and the third optional PCI Express Mini Card module.

Suited for harsh and mobile environments

The G227 is designed for -40 to +85°C operating temperature and conformal coated in order to be used also in harsh and mobile environments. The final environmental qualification depends on the respective PCI Express Mini Cards used with the carrier.

The SFV-RAY is a CompactPCI® Serial carrier card for the Vector VN7610 and similar Vector FlexRay/CAN-FD compact interfaces.
As a supplier of the automotive industry, Vector is well known for their platform of software tools. By means of the SFV-RAY, Vector solutions can be easily integrated into CompactPCI® Serial systems.
A Vector VN-series interface module can be attached on-board to D-Sub and USB receptacles. Two front panel D-Sub connectors emulate a Vector splitter cable, in order to separate FlexRay and/or CAN ports. The SFV-RAY is equipped with an on-board USB controller and can be installed into any peripheral slot of a CompactPCI® Serial backplane.
