Men Mikro announces DC15, Panel PC rugged, fanless and maintenance-free human-machine interface (HMI) for railway applications. It features a robust impact-resistant XGA TFT LCD 10.4″ display and a projected capacitive touch screen or 32 illuminated front keys. Built around a T40E AMD Dual Core processor with 1.0 GHz, the DC15 is equipped with 2 GB RAM and a 16 GB mSATA disk. Standard interfaces include two Fast Ethernet, one USB, one CAN, one audio, one GPIO, and one serial. All electronic components are soldered to withstand shock and vibration, backed up by its solid M12 connectors, and are protected by conformal coating. An M.2 slot and PCI Express Mini Card interface can control wireless communication functions like 2G, 3G, 4G and GPS with two micro-SIM card slots accessible at the back of the panel. The DC15 can provide Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) master or slave support where necessary, by adding an MVB PCI Express Mini Card from Duagon. This makes the display scalable for different applications. The DC15 comes with an extremely rugged housing with an IP65 compliant front. It supports a railway-compliant power supply of 24 or 110 VDC, its internal PSU complying with EN 50155 class S2. Also in compliance with the standard, the DC15 operates in a class TX -40°C to +70°C environment (+85°C for 10 minutes), achieved through fanless conduction-cooling technology.
