World Record for Reliability

MTBF values of DEUTA’s Multifunctional Terminals (MFT)

Multifunctional displays are nowadays used particularly for displaying data diagnostics. In some countries electronics have replaced book timetable displays. Up-to-date travel data (ETCS) with a certain degree of safety relevance is now being displayed.

High demands on MFTs

It is therefore no wonder that producers and operators are not prepared to compromise when it comes to the reliability of DEUTA MFTs. Compliance with MTBF values of over 100,000 hours is required, as is the operational availability in extreme temperature environments (entire EN 50155-T3 range) and flexibility with respect to interfaces (MVB, PROFIBUS, CAN-Bus, RS485, USB, RS422, Ethernet).

600,000 hours of high availability

DEUTA MFTs meet and indeed exceed these requirements: with an MTBF value of 600,000 hours, the displays currently hold the world record for availability and durability. This success did not happen by chance. After all, DEUTA is recognised worldwide as a pioneer in display development.

Save on costs

DEUTA MFTs not only increase the functional safety of locomotives. With their above average MTBF values, they provide producers and operators with significant potential savings. Low fault susceptibility during operation and the associated shorter downtimes reduce your operating costs, considerably.

All over the world, our customers trust DEUTA MFTs – and this with good reason:

minimum MTBF values of 110,000 h during daily operation of 16 hours
robust housing technology with high IP protection class
low self-heating
high component integration
extremely flat assembly dimensions
reduction of about 20 % on initial price
doubling of product life cycle
platform for Linux, QNX, MS-Dos and Windows operating systems
variety of supported interfaces
components which are less risky than those of other producers, such as CPU mainboards
