RB-RTE Processor modules Master processor module For master CPU, router uses a processor module with CPU Intel Atom. The core contains processor Intel® Atom™ E3815 2 GB DDR3L, 4 GB eMMC. Core For more details see the MSC Q7 module datasheet on manufacturer's website (see Related documentation).
RB-RTE Power supply Router power supply connector contains power supply inputs and two digital inputs / outputs (optional). Fig. 6 – Power supply and digital inputs / outputs connector Wiring Connector type WAGO769-666 of power Connector Signal Meaning supply DIO02 Digital input / output n.
RB-RTE Computer start up and shut down Router is turned on after connection of power supply to Vcc and GND terminals and activation by SB signal. 6.1.1 SB input is used Power ON In terms of data consistence, the unit's start-up is not critical and can be realized either by coincident connecting of power supply voltage to Vcc and SB terminals, or by connecting the voltage first to Vcc terminal and then to SB, or vice versa.
RB-RTE Incorrect shut down process is when the application doesn’t turn off during toff2. toff2 Fig. 8 – Computer start up and shut down 6.1.2 SB input is not used Power ON In terms of data consistence, the unit's start-up is not critical and can be realized either by coincident connecting of power supply voltage to Vcc and SB terminals, or by connecting the voltage first to Vcc terminal and then to SB, or vice versa.
RB-RTE Digital inputs / outputs Router can be equipped with two input / output pins, located on power supply connector. Both are galvanically separated from the router electronics. Pins can be used as an inputs or outputs with backward reading, bun never as input and output simultaneously.
RB-RTE Communication lines and peripherals Router contains following communication interfaces and peripherals: ▪ ETB Ethernet ▪ ECN Ethernet ▪ USB ▪ RS232 POWER SYS LEDS HDMI RS232 ETB ETHERNET ECN ETHERNET Fig. 11 – Location of peripherals on the bottom side Fig.
RB-RTE Ethernet Router is equipped with four independent Ethernet interfaces, each with its own MAC address. Interfaces on X2 and X3 connectors are used as connection to the ETB interfaces (Ethernet Train Backbone) which connects the vehicles through the coupling. When the router is switched off or the router application is not functional the X2 and X3 connectors are connected together effectively bypassing the non- operational router.
RB-RTE 8.1.3 Ethernet line state indication Indication of Ethernet line state is provided by two LEDs, located above M12 connector. Description of Status Description Ethernet is inactive Ethernet connected Blink Running communication No communication mSATA Router is equipped with one mSATA slot for additional memory module. The type of the installed mSATA module depends on the specific router variant.
RB-RTE Service peripherals Router contains following service peripherals: ▪ USB ▪ HDMI ▪ RS232 Service peripherals are used for device diagnostics and service interventions. Router is equipped with HDMI and USB service interfaces on front panel, and RS232 interfaces on the side. The interfaces are meant to be used by operator or by maintenance company for router setup and configuration.
