BPAC FOR SINGLE LINE USING UFSBI
 

Introduction

Block Proving by Axle Counter is a system used for controlling the coordinated movement of the train in the block section working on absolute block working principle. The system has been developed as per RDSO/SPN/188/2004 Ver.1 for single line block working, replacing the traditional single line block instruments.

 

HIGHLIGHTS OF BPAC FOR SINGLE LINE USING UFSBI (WEBFIL MAKE):

  • Designed for fail safe operation.

  • Triple redundant hardware at all levels with 2/3 decision logic ensures high degree of safety as well as availability.

  • System meets CENELEC & ORE 155 guidelines for safety and reliability.

  • System meets RDSO specification no. RDSO/SPN/188/2004 Ver.1

  • Simple, modular and rugged design.

  • High performance 16 bit Microcontroller used for better software management.

  • CMOS/FET active components to ensure low power consumption and better reliability.

  • Hi-rel components, relays and connectors used to ensure high MTBF.

  • All input-output connections are optically and/or galvanically isolated to eliminate ground noise and earth faults.

  • Rugged communication protocol for transmission of error -free data.

  • Dual power supply in hot -standby mode increases system availability.

  • 16-digit dot-matrix alpha-numeric display for user friendly man-machine interface.

  • Environment specification meets IS -9000.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW :

The Block Proving by Axle Counter is designed to replace existing block instruments, used in railway signaling system. It is a subsystem of Block Proving system and it works with other subsystems mentioned below:
 
Universal Fail Safe Block Interface
Block Panel
Single section Digital Axle Counter
Block Telephone
Quad Cable or Voice channel on OFC
Battery Set
Battery Charger / IPS module
Relay rack with relays
 

SALIENT FEATURES:
 
The BPAC is of 2 out of 3 hardware architecture with implementations of the fail safety principles. It complies with the CENELEC standards and conforming to Safety Integrity Level - 4 (SIL-4).
 
The system incorporates auto features and eliminates manual co-operations from other end for -
Line Clear operation.
Emergency cancellation at the receiving station.
Automatic Train On Line.
Automatic Line Close after sequence proved at receiving end.
Simplified Block Back / Block Forward Operations.
Cooperative Cancellation.
Station Master Key (SM Key) to prevent unauthorized panel operations.
Single Line working with provisions for shunting with shunt key EKT.
Data logger connectivity.
Communication media: (1 pair cable in quad or on voice channel in OFC.)
Block bell and telephone on separate pair of quad or voice channel of OFC.
