General Description:

The Eurotech "Bus-PC" is a widely tested and mature system platform designed for demanding mobile and vehicle installations in public tranportation. It combines a powerful freely programmable PC and application specific peripheral connectivity. Direct interfacing is available to the Eurotech PCN-1000 passenger counter.

System expansion and reconfiguration is easy due to the completely modular internal architecture and construction that bases on standard PC/104 and PC/104Plus board level products. The system supports wireless cellular communication over GSM/GPRS/3G or CDMA2000 and data transfer over 10/100Mbit Ethernet. High performance peripheral connectivity is possible using enhanced high current drive USB 2.0 port that supports direct connection of internal removable or external HDD units for mass storage.

All Eurotech systems feature a unique "system monitor" that increases system operating reliability and safety. Internal operations are controlled by the intelligent system monitor. Temperature and supply voltage monitoring combined with system device management is autonomously handled by the "system monitor" microprocessor.

The "Bus-PC" meets the requirements of EN50155 standard; extended operating temperature range (-25°C/+70°C) as well as resistance to humidity as well as shocks and vibrations commonly encountered in buses or trams.

To improve the mechanical durability locking rectangular watertight automotive AMPSEAL connectors are used. The WLAN and GPS antennas use N-series connectors to increase reliability. The back side panel of the system is dedicated for application specific I/O connectors.
