General Description:

Eurotech presentation on DuraCOR™ Central Units

The Eurotech DuraCOR™ 1910 is a standard system platform designed for mobile networking and communication applications in demanding vehicle installations.

The DuraCOR™ 1910 is based on a standard PC-architecture compatible with Linux, Windows CE and Windows XPe operating systems, which shortens time-to-market and enables technology and software to be leveraged to multiple projects.

DuraCOR™ 1910 uniquely combines a powerful freely programmable PC with multi-port Ethernet, WiFi, GPRS/HSDPA or GSM-R and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Serial ports can connect to devices, sensors and other subsystems in the vehicle or to external communication terminals. Other peripheral devices can interface to the DuraCOR 1910 using two USB1.1 ports.

A 12-channel parallel-tracking Fastrax iTrax03 GPS receiver provides reliable real-time timing and location of the moving vehicle.

Wireless roaming in CDMA2000, TETRA or GSM-R networks can be achieved using external terminals connecting to the DuraCOR 1910 serial ports. Parallel GSM/GPS and GSM-R operation is possible using Selex ESVM100 stand-alone terminal that is based on the embedded RGM100 GSM-R module. If internal GSM/GPRS is not required, the DuraCOR 1910 can include the Selex RGM100 GSM-R terminal in place of the internal Siemens MC55.

Internal mass storage includes a solid-state 512MB Disk-on-Module. This device is intended to contain the Operating System image and application. A 2,5" "Media Slot" accepts a 2,5" flash or rotating automotive HDD. Optionally a CF-card can be installed into the media slot using an adaptor that mounts in place of a HDD.

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 and the host PC can access temperature, voltage and status log data. An I2C-bus port is available for external access to the internal monitor bus. Through this I2C-port diagnostics and service tasks can be easily performed, even though the system is powered off.

The DuraCOR™ 1910 meets the requirements of the EN50155 standard with a wide operating temperature range (-25°C/+70°C) as well as resistance to humidity, shocks and vibrations commonly encountered in mobile installations.

To improve the mechanical durability locking watertight circular vehicle grade connectors are used. The WLAN antenna uses a locking R-SMA connector to increase reliability. The back side panel of the system is dedicated for device I/O, service and utility I/O are located under a protective sealed cover. Maintainance interfaces include: I2C-bus, VGA output, keyboard and mouse. No fixed system peripheral device connectors need to be removed to access the utility I/Os.
