DG-DRM48-R - Ultra Wide 48" 16:3 Railway LCD DRM/PI Display

• 
• 

OVERVIEW:

DG-DRM48-R is an intelligent ultra wide 48" 16:3 aspect ratio railway LCD DRM display. The device is certified to EN50155, EN50121, EN61373 and EN60950-1 applicable to onboard railway systems. A sunlight readable high contract HD-resolution LCD-display delivers and outstanding visual experience. This display is designed specifically for PIS or Dynamic Route Map applications for train, metro and tram installations. The system bases on a dual core i.MX6 embedded Linux display control processor.

The DG-DRM48-R operates fully autonomously, and can connect to the TCMS or ETBN to receive control information. Communication interfaces include a 10/100/1000Mbit Ethernet, isolated RS-485, optional MVB and 3G/LTE modem. The internal 802.11 WiFi can be ued for service, maintenence and upgrading functions. The DRM48-R supports master-slaves operating modes, which enable one device in the coach acting as a master connecting to the train network, while slave devices connect to the master using RS-485. An inbuilt 1500VDC isolated railway class power supply can connect directly to the 110VDc train feeder power source.

The DRM48-R is protected against excessive temperature conditions with CPU speed throttling and temperature dependent backlight brightness control. System operating and configuration parameters are stored in a non volatile EEPROM. Powerful GUI development tools accelerate the creation and maintenence of the system software.

DG-EL1696P8-R - 16 X 96 LED Passenger Information Display

• 

The DG-EL1696P5-R is a rugged LED passenger information display targeting metro, train and tram installations. This display is purpose-built for railway applications with a wide 8-38VDC input range power supply. The LED chip resolution is 5mm in horizontal and vertical direction.

The display is based on a 32-bit CORTEX-M3 microcontroller with dedicated firmware, which can be customized to meet the specific requirement of each project, including custom graphics elements and language support. Error and diagnostic codes can be used to monitor the health of the display and its correct operation. Furthermore, the electrical parameters of each LED can be checked to detect open connection, short to ground or short to supply.

Constant current LED sink drivers are used to drive high brightness SMD LED chip components to increase the reliability and ruggedness of the display. The LED matrix brightness can be controlled from 0 to 100% under software control or based on ambient lighting conditions. The display base is black for improving contrast. The LED area is covered by a laminated tamper proof safety glass.

Duragon Systems can provide customization services, which can include engineering, production and certification. Available are different LED reolutions and chip spacing, enclosure and mounting solutions, as well as project specific functionalities or SW interfaces to other onboard systems.

OVERVIEW:

The QUASAR™-DS is a rugged purpose-built fully integrated modular train data acquisition and diagnostics Gateway targeting metro and locomotive condition-based maintenance and real time remote diagnostics applications. Compliant with internationally recognized railway standards applicable for onboard systems, the QUASAR-DS is an ideal platform for addressing various interfacing and I/O requirements. The system is modular and available in entry-level and full-functionality versions depending on the project requirements. Included are wireless communication interfaces, Basic 24/110VDC voltage system I/O, high accuracy navigation capabilities with an ultra-low power multi-core ARM processor supported by a 32-bit CORTEX M4 system management coprocessor. The internal architecture enables advanced self-diagnostics and failure recovery.

Designed in an ultra-compact “heavy duty” die-cast powder coated conduction cooled aluminium enclosure, the QUASAR-DS includes rugged connectors for power, control and I/O, M12 connectors for Ethernet, locking antenna connectors for LTE/WiFi and GNSS. QUASAR-DS has a wide input range (24-110VDC) nominal isolated train PSU with advanced input protection and multi-stage filtering.

The QUASAR-DS optimally balances integration and functionality. The full version includes Dual Ethernet Interfaces, RS-485 serial and Analogue/Digital Inputs, CAN with J1939 Bus protocol support, 1x HD video Input for external or driver space monitoring. The CPU module can support FIP and MVB interfaces, which enable direct data interrogation from the train network.

The QUASAR supports European and ASAN bands for Sub 6GHz 5G connectivity with globally roaming multi-operator eSIM technology. The eSIM enables remotely configurable and managed connectivity services, which is optimal for railway systems. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 based 5G modem solution supports fall-back to LTE, in case there is no 5G coverage. 5G enabled systems are available in Q2/2021.

Entry-Level QUASAR-DS-E
The entry-level QUASAR™-DS System targets basic asset monitoring and signal interfacing applications. The System bases on the QUASAR-DS System Management Controller (SMC), which manages the local Inputs, the J1939 CAN-bus as well as the LTE-modem and GNSS receiver. The low power ARM CORTEX M4 architecture SMC supports battery back-up mode in case main power is interrupted or becomes disconnected. The SMC also includes temperature monitoring, supply voltage monitoring as well as a 3-axis accelerometer, which can be used to detect bumps as well as acceleration and braking behaviour. The firmware of the SCM includes the protocol interface to the Trimble Rail Asset Monitoring software, while project specific interfaces can be included in the firmware case-by-case. Block Diagram included below:

Full Diagnostics QUASAR-DS-F
The full QUASAR™-DS System includes all the parts of the entry-level system complimented with a high performance 6-core RK3399 Linux Application processor. Additional interfaces include dual fast Ethernet interfaces, Mass storage, 1x HD analogue camera interfaces with H.264 compression and storage, as well as expansion with FIP and MVB interfaces. This dual processor architecture enables fail safe operation of critical tasks in case the application processor fails. Furthermore, the SMC can force a power recycling and reset of the application processor. The LTE modem and the GNSS receiver can be attached to the SMC in failsafe mode, or to the application processor in normal operating mode. The QUASAR-DS-F includes a client software module, which seamlessly integrates all available train and location data with the Trimble Real Time Remote Diagnostics software suite. Block Diagram included below:

Duragon Systems, jointly with its partner CELYSS, can provide turnkey engineered railway solutions basing on the QUASAR for dedicated applications. Our engineering and programming experience can be used to accelerate project completion.

DG-SYS4055 - PIS Coach Controller

OVERVIEW:

DG-SYS4055 is a dedicated Railway Passenger Information system coach controller for metro and train applications which require high service reliability and easy integration with other onboard systems. The DG-SYS4055 bases on a low power 6-core 64 bit ARM Linux application processor, which includes Duragon’s proprietary firmware for RS-485 LED passenger information display interfacing as well as the control of audio announcements.

The DG-SYS4055 typically uses Ethernet to communicate with the train master PIS-controller. In the case of a modernisation project, where no backbone Ethernet is available, Dura-Net Power line Comminication modem modules can be used to connect all the train cars with a 10/100Mbit Ethenet. Standard interfaces include RS-485 for connecting to in-coach LED displays and a MONO Power Audio output port which is capable of driving multiple 4/8 Ohm speakers. In case the speaker system uses 100V signal levels, an external audio power transformer can be used.
