Controlled by the ignition switch or a main system switch the PSU provides intelligent shutdown, crank protection and battery deep discharge prevention, protecting the system from transients and voltage brownouts and the battery from premature damage.
The unit is based around an industrial grade motherboard, running third or fourth generation Intel Mobile i7/i5/i3 processors addressing up to 16GB DDR3 SDRAM. Gigabit LAN, SATAII and III mass storage and up to two PCIe or miniPCIe expansion slots make the unit configurable and scalable, allowing a wide variety of additional functionality to be installed as required. An internal 2.5″ HDD bay is fitted with either a SATA HDD or a SSD to user specification. The industrial grade rack mount aluminium enclosure is EMI shielded to protect the unit from external interference.
The VRS-100 can also be used for commercial vehicle control, monitoring and entertainment centres, in mapping, utility vehicles and other applications where a rugged and reliable mobile computing capability is required.
