5. 1. For which markets can I use the CB30C COM module?
The CB30C can be used in all markets which need to be
robust and/or safety-related applications.
Due to the EN 50155-compliance and SIL 2-certification
it is ready to use and highly cost-effective for railways.
But even for industrial applications which do not require
any ruggedization, the CB30C is also available as normal
COM Express module, compliant to COM Express Basic
type 6.

What makes the CB30C COM module rugged?

7. The CB30C is developed according to the Rugged COM Express
standard, VITA 59. Based on proven COM Express form factors,
this standard defines the mechanical measures to make the boards
really robust. It is realized by adding a massive aluminum frame
around the electronics, which protects the electronics from outs-
ide influences like dust, humidity or EMC interferences, allows an
extended temperature range from theoretically up to -55 to +125°C
with conduction cooling and gives the possibility to firmly screw it
on the carrier for shock and vibration resistance.

What makes the CB30C COM module safe?

9. On the CB30C different mechanism are implemented to ensure safe
and reliable operation. It is developed in accordance with EN 50128,
EN 50129, IEC 61508 and comes with SIL 2 certificates from TÜV
SÜD. The functional safety architecture is based on monitoring all
safe CPU subsystem environmental conditions, e.g., voltages and
temperature. If safe operation of the CPU subsystem cannot be
guaranteed, the safe supervisor (SUPV) removes the power of the
subsystem, ensuring all external communications are stopped. An
onboard event logger helps to analyze errors while reducing software
overhead.

10. 4.
It is safe and robust. But what about I/O?

11. With its focus on safe design, the CB30C still offers ample
I/O functionality, including two or three Gigabit Ethernet and
PCI Express interfaces, two SATA channels, up to four USB
2.0 ports, UARTs and general-purpose I/O. DVI or LVDS can
be implemented for graphics functions.
Up to 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM with ECC support and a soldered
eMMC storage device round out the CPU.

12. 5.
COM Express but PowerPC processor?

13. Yes, that’s another advantage of Rugged COM Express
RCE. Unlike other COM standards limited to x86 chip-
sets only, RCE is processor independent for scalability
and flexibility. Current modules accommodate a variety
of Intel, PowerPC and ARM processors to satisfy
application-specific requirements ranging from
low-power mobile apps to high-end communications
platforms.
