FAQ

Industrial Computers are computers that are deployed for use in an industrial environment, used in various industries, including manufacturing, transportation and energy, more robust than ordinary PCs and able to function in environments in which most PCs would not.

Neousys MezIO^® (interchangeable mezzanine I/O board) is an interface module designed for incorporating application-oriented I/O functions into an embedded system.

A rugged computer can operate reliably in harsh environments such as temperature extremes (hot and cold – generally in a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with fan-less cooling with extended life time availabilities) – also where levels of vibration are prevalent and wet/humid or dusty conditions exist.

MIL-STD-810G is a US military specification that guarantees a level of durability for a piece of technology.

A rack mount is where a hardware device can be mounted in a rack or the actual rack, often used within large companies to hold their network servers, routers, switches, or other network devices.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), the combined HD video and audio signal standard, is now the most commonly used cable interface for residential, home theater and commercial AV systems.

Most commonly, a HDMI cable is used to connect a HD or 4K UHD Source (such as a BluRay player or your Sky TV Box) directly to an adjacent TV, therefore a standard 3 metre HDMI lead distance would easily cover that short distance from one device to the other on the TV stand.

The European railway standard for fire safety EN45545-2 was introduced as a mandatory requirement throughout Europe. Today, all materials used in rail vehicle manufacturing must follow the EN 45545-2 standard to achieve the highest level of safety possible in the event of a fire.
