EN50155 Compliant Networking and Surveillance Solutions for Railway Applications

Moxa's range of EN50155 compliant industrial communications and surveillance solutions for rolling stock and rail networks includes industrial Ethernet switches, industrial wireless products, and industrial IP cameras. Moxa delivers the tough performance required by complex train communication systems while overcoming the stringent challenges posed by conventional field-bus based train networks. Moxa's EN50155-standard product range emphasizes Gigabit Ethernet, Power-over-Ethernet, extended operating temperatures, robust vibration-proof connections, wide power input range, and Turbo Ring™ and Turbo Roaming™ for high network availability.

Industrial Ethernet Switches—Building Gigabit Ethernet Train Backbones
Moxa's ToughNet™ series offers an extensive selection of products for creating an Ethernet train backbone. Over 100 EN50155 switch models are offered to allow railway network builders the flexibility of choosing a precise solution. The TN series provides a variety of features tailored for rolling stock. For example, Gigabit Ethernet provides the real-time video or voice communications bandwidth required for passenger entertainment and security related applications. Power-over-Ethernet is supported, which simplifies the complex process of train-wide cabling. In addition, excellent redundancy features produce a high level of reliability. Moxa Turbo Ring™ technology has a fast recovery time of less than 20 ms to ensure non-stop operations in a ring topology, and the bypass relay function guarantees data transmission in a linear topology. Moxa ToughNet's wide power input range makes them suitable for applications anywhere in the world.

Industrial Wireless AP/Bridge/Client—Fast Wireless Roaming for High Availability
Moxa's EN50155 certified AWK products support Turbo Roaming™, which has a fast handover time of less than 100 ms. For railway applications, Moxa's Turbo Roaming™ enables seamless wireless connections under the mobile conditions of ground-to-train communications. Moreover, AWKs come with wireless security protection, a wide operating temperature, long-distance communication capabilities, PoE, and a M12 vibration-proof connection, making Moxa's AWK products an ideal partner for deploying wireless networks in rail traffic applications.

Industrial Surveillance IP Cameras—Ready to Install on Rolling Stock
Moxa's VPort 15 industrial IP camera conforms to the EN50155 standard, which means the camera meets the reliability requirements demanded by the railway industry. These requirements include the ability to withstand EMC, shock, vibration, temperature fluctuations, humidity, and power supply variations. The VPort 15 has a compact design and surface mounting system to provide for a stable and robust installation, ideal for mounting on the curved surfaces and soft padding of trains. The cameras feature M12 connections and IP66 protection to stand up to the continued vibrations, humidity, and dust found in buses and trains, and the -25 to 55°C wide operating temperature range is designed to handle any temperature fluctuations.
