Dättwil Switzerland (PRWEB) September 15, 2017 -- The EN50155 certified CEC14-RW110 is ideally suited to be used in the toughest railway applications For the environmental temperature test, the most crucial one has been selected and the unit is approved to be fully operational from -40°C up to 75/85°C. Full test records are available on request.
The CEC14 is a perfect match for any demanding railways application. The technical approach of the CEC14 is unique as the standard device is very flexible and can easily be expanded to the any customer needs. Regardless if a galvanic isolation is needed (8-36VDC or up to 110VDC) or any other additional interface that is not provided in the standard configuration.

MPL products are typically being offered for at least 10 years after its first introduction and provides repair service for 20 years or more. MPL stocks all parts that are needed for production and/or repairs. This makes the TCO very low, next to the excellent MTBF values of the device.
The BIOS source is owned by MPL and therefore can be adjusted to the customer needs. The CEC14 is designed to be used in transportation areas like trains, buses, or utility vehicles. With the available expansion capabilities and flexibility, it can interface to the vehicle communication buses or can provide various wireless functions that might be needed.
