Control unit – EPC 4.1A

EPIS on-board computer control unit type – EPC 4.1A, designed for vehicle applications. Compared with the previous EPIS 4.0Cx model, computing power has increased by 20 per cent and peripheral control has been significantly accelerated.

The upgraded on-board computer consists of two main components:

• The EPC 4.1Ax control unit, depending on the required model, and
• The EPT 4.x on-board computer terminal, available with display sizes ranging from 7” to 12” (the larger size is suitable for high-volume passenger processing involving multiple fare types),

Advantages and changes in the new on-board computer:

• A more powerful PC module,
• Use of the tried-and-tested IJN integrated power supply unit, i.e. output power management, vehicle excitation (timed or on-demand via low-power radio communication), single-bit inputs/outputs and more.
• Ability to communicate via voice over data on GSM networks – communication managed via a SIP switch at the control centre.
• Suitable for digital radio networks, GSM networks and even 5G – 1 Gbit/s Ethernet connection
• Upgraded radio unit converter (integrated into the on-board computer, thus saving space in the electronics cabinet)
• Upgraded output to the EPT terminal – see the terminal description
• Option to use a carrier frequency via LoRaWAN modules
