Colibrys is pleased to announce the certification of its inertial, vibration and tilt sensors for safety critical applications. The CENELEC (European center for electronic and electro-technique normalization) EN 50128 railway application standard assess the software common mode failure conformity of the Colibrys motion sensors.
"Colibrys MEMS capacitive accelerometers are already recognized for their high reliability in harsh environment applications in the Aerospace, Military and Transportation markets. This new level of certification expands our product offerings into these very demanding markets and opens up many new opportunities in the railway technology business," said Jean-Michel Stauffer, Marketing and Sales Director of Colibrys.
Motion sensors are required in a large number of train applications such as bogie security control, vibration and tilt control for improved comfort, position monitoring on the new magneto levitation based train control, HUMS (Health and Usage Monitoring) or even track monitoring. Thanks to its wide range of motion sensors and specialty in design for performance in high reliability applications, Colibrys offers the right product for your application with the adequate reliability.
