As transportation technologies evolve, the focus when selecting equipment goes beyond pure computing power. Robustness, scalability, energy efficiency, and adaptability to various tasks are also important. Rail operators often require both traditional box PCs as onboard control centers and standalone panel PCs for control and information display to drivers and passengers. NEXCOM offers a unified solution for both: vROK 3030-A-B, a modern, built-in panel-mounted railway computer that combines control and display functions in one compact, high-performance device.
More than just a screen
10.4” vROK 3030-A-B is designed for dual use: as an HMI in the train driver's cabin or as a display terminal in passenger areas. Its key innovation is support for three displays simultaneously. Thanks to HDMI and Display Port outputs, the panel PC can simultaneously display information on three screens, including the built-in display. This is the ideal solution for simultaneously displaying real-time data, information messages, advertising, and system status. This approach significantly expands visualization capabilities without complicating the architecture.
An integrated display with a capacitive touchscreen (PCAP) delivers crystal-clear images with 1200 nits of brightness and an IP65-rated front panel. Whether used as a console-mounted monitor or as a VESA-mounted dashboard monitor, the vROK 3030-A-B easily adapts to specific environments. Custom brackets and display options are available upon request.
One device - lower costs
Why install a separate box PC and a monitor when one device can fulfill both functions? vROK 3030-A-B eliminates the need for a separate embedded PC box for passenger information systems (PIS), simplifying cabling and reducing equipment costs. It can be used with two additional displays to create a three-screen PIS system, which is ideal for displaying route maps, advertising, entertainment, and information about train speed or status. The solution is also suitable for specialized carriages, such as sleeper cars.
Visual control from any angle
Railway safety directly depends on the quality of visualization, and vROK 3030-A-B is up to the task. It supports both analog and IP cameras thanks to four CVBS inputs (via an optional capture card) and two PoE ports (via an additional module). Whether the cameras are connected inside or outside the vehicle, the system provides complete situational awareness—whether for rearward viewing, cabin monitoring, or platform surveillance.
Power supply is also seamless: the device supports DC 24V/36V (non-isolated) and optional DC 24V/110V (isolated), ensuring stable operation even in challenging conditions of railway transport.
Maximum robustness and adaptability
In its compact chassis vROK 3030-A-B packs plenty of power and expansion options. The computer comes with a low-power Intel Atom CPU (TDP 9W) and supports up to 32GB of DDR4 memory.
For storage, connectivity and expansion there are:
- 1 x M.2 Key M 2280 (SSD)
- 1 x mSATA (in Mini PCIe slot)
- 1 x Mini PCIe, 1 x M.2 Key B and 1 x M.2 Key E
- I/O interfaces: LAN (M12), COM (DB9), USB, CAN bus and audio
Reliability in every element
vROK 3030-A-B is certified to EN 50155 and MIL-STD-810H railway standards, it is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of railway operation, including vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures. Regardless of the application scenario, vROK 3030-A-B is a great solution for implementation in intelligent railway systems.
