Why Choose EKE-Electronics for Remote Input Output Systems?
Engineered for excellence in rail technology, EKE-Trainnet® Remote Input/Output System supports SIL 2 development. Our system is designed to seamlessly integrate into your operations, providing the reliability and advanced capabilities needed for efficient and effective control.
Very high I/O density
Designed with a very high I/O density, the EKE-Trainnet® Remote I/O System accommodates numerous signals within a compact space. In a standard 3U, 84TE rack, it can include up to 576 digital I/O channels (18x32ch).
This high density is crucial for high-speed trains and Electric Multiple Units (EMUs), offering space-saving benefits, a decentralised network architecture, and simplified I/O cabling, which ultimately reduces costs.
Support for serveral vehicle buses
Supporting multiple vehicle buses, the EKE-Trainnet® Remote I/O System excels by managing several identical or different buses simultaneously. This capability simplifies the train design process, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient system architecture.
By integrating various buses into a single solution, our system enhances flexibility and reduces complexity, making it an ideal choice for modern rail applications.
Dual homing with TRDP
EKE-Trainnet® Remote I/O System features dual-homing with Train Real-Time Data Protocol (TRDP), ensuring unparalleled reliability and continuity.
This dual-homing capability provides redundant pathways for data communication, safeguarding against potential failures and enhancing system stability.
Ideal for high-speed and critical applications, this feature ensures uninterrupted performance and dependable operation for your train systems.
