The EKE-Trainnet® Flat Racks are designed to be used in trains where space is limited, for instance trams and light rail vehicles. They are also providing an alternative to Standard Racks dimensions and mounting mechanisms.
EKE-Trainnet® Flat Racks come in 3U and 6U format, either as a 12TE or 16TE wide rack. Thanks to their small sizes, Flat Racks can be used in the vicinity of train systems, thus allowing savings by reducing cabling. The Flat Racks have a power supply connector integrated at the back.
Different Back Plane Options
The number of free slots for both VME modules (CPUs, bus interface modules and HSA module) and I/O modules (all I/O modules except HSA) are mentioned in the table below. The space required for the power supply is already taken into account. Please note that in the 6U versions, there is no VME bus communication between the two rows of modules.
