Vecow IVX-1000 Intel 12th/13th Gen Core Vehicle Mounted Computers

Computers on trains and road vehicles face two problems that cabinet PCs rarely meet: connectors that work loose under constant vibration, and DC supplies that swing widely and carry surges. The Vecow IVX-1000 series is built around both, with X-coded M12 Ethernet, a 16 V to 160 V DC input with 4 kV isolation and a fanless design aimed at EN 50155 rolling stock duty.

Both IVX-1000 vehicle mounted computers share the same core. The Intel R680E chipset takes 12th or 13th Gen Intel Core i9 to i3 processors up to the 24-core i9-13900E at 65 W, with two DDR5 4800 MHz SO-DIMMs for up to 64 GB. Networking runs to ten ports: eight M12 2.5GbE, four of them IEEE 802.3at PoE+, plus a 2.5GbE port with TSN and a GbE port with iAMT. Four isolated COM ports, 16 isolated DIO, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and an A-coded M12 USB port handle onboard equipment, and an NVIDIA Quadro MXM module can be fitted by request for GPU analytics.

The two models differ in storage and height. The IVX-1000 is the 88 mm, 7.1 kg unit with two front-access 2.5″ drive trays and RAID 0 or 1, suited to onboard analytics and communication gateways. The IVX-1000 ICY grows to 171 mm and carries six front-access trays for drives up to 15 mm high, with RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 and an optional UPS from 18650 lithium cells or a Super Cap, for recording systems where footage has to survive a drive failure or a power cut.

IVX-1000 vehicle mounted computers typically serve ADAS, passenger and public security video and mobile communication on rolling stock, buses and service vehicles. Power comes in through a terminal block with 16-mode software ignition control, and the series is rated from -25 °C to 75 °C with 35 W processors and no GPU, with IEC 61373 shock and vibration and EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 EMC listings. Wall mounting is standard, with 2U and 4U rack kits optional, and Mini PCIe, M.2 Key B and Key E sockets with two SIM sockets take 4G, 5G or Wi-Fi modules for fleet links.
