Standardized as ModBlox7
The diverse world of Box PCs is being standardized. Under the umbrella of the standardization organization PICMG, we are standardizing the future of Box PCs together with a large number of companies from the embedded area. This is ModBlox7!
In doing so, we combine the advantages of BoxPCs such as high integration density and cost sensitivity with small installation space with the benefits of modular systems such as interoperability between manufacturers, thereby minimizing vendor lock-in and obsolescence risks.
Standard is planned to be released early 2023. Produkts are aligned to current state of standard and may be compliant to final version. Picture: Courtesy of PICMG
ModuCop I/O Modules
Every application in the field is unique and requires different interfaces. The Railway Edge Computer must also adapt to this. Where a well-equipped basic computer is not enough, modular extension modules allow flexible add-ons.
You can expect a flexible portfolio of fieldbus and communication interfaces such as CAN, serial interfaces, Ethernet and MVB as well as discrete binary and analog inputs and outputs.
Tailor to your needs.
IOU01 – Rail Compliant Discrete I/O
You need to acquire analog data from external systems, e.g. from analog sensors? Or do you need the possibility to control digital switching elements or to react to their changes? Then simply configure the IOU01 extension into your Railway Edge Computer.
Product Features*:
- Single Slot ModuCop extension unit
- 2×2 digital inputs / outputs (selectable) via 4-pin spring terminal; 0..110V (nom), common ground or common supply
- 2×1 analog input via 4-pin spring terminal; Selectable voltage (+/-10V) or current (0..24mA) type
- 24V supply to external sensor
- galvanic isolation (4 groups)
- useable as direct I/O or as data logger with multiple data streams
*available as prototype
IOU02 – 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
To connect our intelligent sensors and converters, simply use additional Ethernet interfaces. Power supply for the external components by PoE included. Even without sensors, Ethernet interfaces you never have enough!
Product Features*:
- Single Slot ModuCop extension unit
- 4x 1 GBit/s Ethernet (switch) via 8-pin M12 x-coded
- PoE Power-over-Ethernet (PSE) IEEE 802.3af **
- Smart managed
*available as prototype
**PoE power budget depends on selected ModuCop power supply (PSU0x)
IOU03 – Non-retroactive MVB / CAN Interfaces
In order to record existing vehicle data, it is essential to acquire data from the vehicle bus.This must be done in non-retroactive manner to minimize the risk of a vehicle re-certification. Our IOU03 was developed not to influence the electrical properties of vehicle buses.
Listening without any worries!
Product Features*:
- Single Slot ModuCop extension unit
- 1x MVB Listen only via 2x 9-pin Dsub (male / female)

- galvanic isolation
- integrated micro controller abstracts I/O functionality and offloads the Railway Edge Computer
*available as prototype
IOU04 – Serial Interfaces and CAN
Data acquisition in buses or trains always means being able to connect to a wide variety of existing vehicle systems. Common interfaces are CAN and serial interfaces. With the IOU04 you find a simple possibility to upgrade the Railway Edge Computer with these interfaces.

Roadmap
With ModuCop, we offer a product family of Railway Edge Computer and automotive board computer that is unrivaled in its flexibility and modularity. The modularity allows us to constantly expand the family with partial developments; in its functions, but also in its performance and actuality. Obsolescence is practically excluded.
ModuCop is not a product – it is a family! Due to continuous development you benefit from the latest processor technologies and constantly growing input/output extensions in an always compatible form factor. Combine the required interfaces with the desired computer performance in your applications and get the optimal composition for your project. No matter if in bus or train! The corresponding Linux Microservices Platform grows with the functions of the hardware as a matter of course.
The best answer to obsolescence!
