MEN 3U CompactPCI F75P SIL 4 certified SBC with safe software

The F75P is a CompactPCI PlusIO SBC featuring onboard dual redundancy as well as a safe BSP for QNX, with PikeOS on request. The SBC forms the basis for the MEN Train Control System (MTCS) - an application-ready system platform that can manage single functions in a train as well as the control of the complete train.

Whether used in the MTCS with safe peripheral cards and robust power supplies or as a single card with or without a safe BSP, the product is available with SIL 4 certification. The board’s pre-certified hardware components and QNX operating system seamlessly integrate with FlexiSafe, the safe firmware from infoteam Software.

The FlexiSafe programming system is certified to IEC 61508 SIL3, EN 50128 SIL4 and EN ISO 13849-1 up to PLe and works with all IEC 61131 programming languages as well as the C programming language. It enables safe and non-safe hardware and software to be combined in one project.

With the SBC’s integrated safety functions, such as comparing and supervising CPU results or synchronising, developers can focus completely on the programming of the project-specific functions. The safety requirements are fulfilled by the complete package consisting of the safe hardware, BSP and firmware.
