Determination of the track section vacancy at the stations and open lines.
Interaction with any signaling and interlocking system.
Digital interface with the CBI system.
Placement of wheel track sensors on rails of any type in the sections with both electric (of any current) and autonomous traction.
Equipping the sections where track circuits are too expensive or technically unavailable.
FUNCTIONS AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The axle counter system determines the occupied and free state of the sections bounded by the wayside wheel sensors. Information from the wheel sensors is collected, analyzed and processed by the processor. Data on the number of axles that entered and left the corresponding section allows the system to determine the free or occupied state of the section, and then transmit information to the signaling system via relay or electronic linking.
The flexible architecture of the axle counter system provides interaction with signaling systems of various types and with various elemental base; it is configured for a specific project both during the manufacturing process and on the spot in case of need for changes in working conditions.
Diagnostic equipment connected to the processor of the axle counter system device allows to view records of the operation and status of the system.
HIGH RELIABILITY UNDER EXTREME OPERATION CONDITIONS
The axle counter system has proven its high reliability under extreme operating conditions of the 1520 area: from severe winter open spaces of Yakutia to the deserts of Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Special diagnostic equipment simplifies the maintenance of the wayside and station components of the system.
The axle counter system as a part of CBI does not require for installation of a special cabinet with a processor device. Its functions are performed by the ACE board integrated into the CBI object controller system. This ensures significant space savings and enhances the cost-effectiveness of the technical solution for the customer.
