Today at Avionics Europe, MEN Mikro Elektronik debuts a triple-redundant single-board computer in lock-step architecture for building up safe computer systems. Wind River provides support with board support packages (BSPs) for its safety certification operating systems, VxWorks DO-178B and VxWorks 61508. Additionally, Sysgo has ported its safety platform PikeOS.

MEN’s latest innovation – right on time for the Embedded World 2010: It is called G20 and is MEN’s first CompactPCI(r) Serial SBC. This single-board computer opens up a new era in terms of speed and robustness.

MEN presents a new COM module with an Intel Atom XL processor. The processor upgrade from the Intel Atom to the Atom XL makes it possible for the user to operate the board in the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and provides a higher memory capacity. MEN’s COM module XM1L can be equipped with a number of different Intel Atom XL processors – dependent on the needs of the application.

PICMG has announced the release of the CompactPCI PlusIO specification, numbered PICMG 2.30. This new specification adds the serial PCI Express, Ethernet, SATA, SAS and USB extensions to the CompactPCI family of specifications while preserving PCI bus connectivity.

Right on time for the SPS/IPC/DRIVES MEN presents the first Ethernet switches of the robust, modular MIPIOS(r) family. As a managed or unmanaged version, in mobile or industrial applications – MEN’s MIPIOS(r) switches with their eight Fast Ethernet channels accessible via robust M12 connectors are suitable for every field of application in which safety and reliability have the highest priority.

MEN Mikro Elektronik presents a new PMC module with four fast RS422/485 UART interfaces. The P507 is qualified for the extended temperature range of -40 to +85°C, and prepared for coating against dust and humidity which makes it especially suited for safety-critical and mobile applications. Long-term availability at least up to 2019 is guaranteed.

MEN Mikro Elektronik is the first German company and one of a total of less than ten companies worldwide which is certified according to the quality management systems EN9100 (transportation) and IRIS (railway) in addition to ISO 9001. After having been certified according to EN 9100 in late 2008, MEN also received the IRIS certification from the DQS (German corporation for the certification of management systems) in early 2009.
