Structure of axle counting system
Axle counting system
Figure 1 Schematic representation of an axle counting system
The axle counting system consists of two parts:

• indoor equipment
• outdoor equipment

Functional overview
Indoor equipment
Modular design
The indoor equipment of the axle counting system comprises individual modules (ACMs),
a cable termination rack and connecting cables, permitting an axle counting system of
any size to be implemented. A number of ACMs can be installed directly side by side on a
122 mm mounting rail in a space-saving arrangement since all interfaces are located in
the lower section of the ACM housing.
Functions of axle counting system

The axle counting system has the following functions:
• evaluation of the audio-frequency signals transmitted by the wheel detection equip-
ment
• comparison of the number of axles counted into a track vacancy detection section
(TVDS) with the number of axles counted out
• monitoring of the track vacancy detection sections and output of the clear and occu-
pied indications
• transmission of operator-specific safety-related information (SRI) via the floating re-
lay interface of the axle counting system to any interlocking or subsystem
Inputs and outputs of axle counting system

In addition to the fail-safe relay output of clear and occupied indications for two track va-
cancy detection sections, it is possible, for each track vacancy detection section, to out-
put a single-channel reset restriction (RR) and reset acknowledgment (RA). Instead of
clear and occupied indications, it is also possible to output safety-related information (SRI)
of a different ACM or the "pulse detected" indication of the locally connected wheel detec-
tion equipment. Operability of the ACM (BOK) can be output on a single channel.
Axle count reset operations (AZG, VAZG) are evaluated via fail-safe optocoupler inputs.
Via an optional dual-channel auxiliary axle count reset operation (AZGH), the RR can be
canceled or a commissioning operation be performed or safety-related information be
read in and transmitted to a partner ACM.
As an alternative to the auxiliary axle count reset operation, a secondary axle count reset
procedure can be executed via the AZGH inputs.
Ordering information
Ordering information about the components of the indoor equipment can be found in the
parts list (see “Parts list” on page 58).

Functional overview
Power supply for ACMs

The power supply for the ACMs permits variable adaptation to available supply networks.
If a mains supply at 24 V DC is not available for the power supply, different power supply
modules are available for optimal adaptation. The power is fed into the ACM via the proc-
ess connector.
Connection of ACMs via switches to set up network

For connecting a number of ACMs, switches are mounted on the mounting rail. The
ACMs are interconnected via the switches to form an Ethernet network using IE FC TP
(CAT5 or higher) Ethernet cables.
System cable
The ACM is connected to control elements, an interlocking or the wheel detection equip-
ment via its process connector. The system cable is used to connect the process connec-
tor of the ACM to all cables from these elements. It is mechanically secured by means of
clamps.
Overvoltage protection
We recommend protecting the outdoor cables connected in the cable termination
rack/cabinet by means of additional overvoltage protection elements (type 4 lightning pro-
tection module on the basic terminal block and overvoltage arrester (block varistor)).
More detailed information relating to overvoltage protection can be found in [EC].

Functional overview
Installation space for ACM

Minimum clearances between the components (installation space for the ACM) must be
observed when setting up an axle counting system by means of ACM levels arranged
underneath each other. The figure below shows the required clearances of an ACM level:
1 Rack or cabinet 3 ACM

2 122 mm mounting rail 4 System cable
Figure 3 Clearances for the ACM installation space
Installation in racks or cabinets

A number of mounting rails, shield buses, terminal strips and cable ducts can be installed
underneath each other in racks or cabinets.

Functional overview
Outdoor equipment
Part of outdoor equipment – type ZP wheel detection equipment

The outdoor equipment comprises the following components:
• wheel detection equipment (consisting of DEK double wheel detector and trackside
connection box with electronic unit)
• cables from the DEK double wheel detector to the trackside connection box
• cables from the cable termination rack in the interlocking to the trackside connection
boxes and cable distribution boxes
The wheel detection equipment is installed at the limits of a track vacancy detection sec-
tion.

4 Signaling cable
Figure 4 Type ZP wheel detection equipment on the track
The axle counting system is combined with type ZP wheel detection equipment (ZP 43 E,
ZP 43 V or ZP D 43) with audio-frequency interface. The system parts are interconnected
by means of cables from the cable termination rack/cabinet in the interlocking to the
trackside connection boxes and cable distribution boxes. The wheel detection equipment
is powered as follows:
• directly via the axle counting system; in this case, the power supply is isolated to
earth potential
• from a separate power supply (external supply)

Functional overview
The earth-free supply of the wheel detection equipment can be monitored using auto-
matic earth leakage detectors (to be ordered and installed separately). When not using
this automatic earth leakage detectors, insulation measurement must be performed
manually. Manual insulation measurement must be performed before commissioning and
then cyclically. We recommend performing cyclic measurement every 24 months.
Components of wheel detection equipment

Wheel detector: type ZP wheel detection equipment (ZP 43 E, ZP 43 V and ZP D 43)
uses the DEK electronic double wheel detector. It consists of a separate transmitter and
receiver with an operating frequency of 43 kHz. The transmitter and receiver are installed
opposite each other on either side of a rail, the transmitter on the outer side and the re-
ceiver on the gage side.
Trackside connection box: the evaluation electronics of the wheel detection equipment
are accommodated in the trackside connection box. The two connecting cables of the
wheel detector and the trackside cable enter the box through cable glands. Rubber gas-
kets in the cable glands ensure that the box is hermetically tight. This design of the track-
side connection box provides, on the one hand, protection as per IP67 and, on the other,
adequate access to the electrical equipment. A climate lock on the underside permits a
slow pressure equalization with the environment. This lock has a semi-permeable mem-
brane which allows moisture to leave the box but prevents water from entering it.
Ordering information
Ordering information about the components of the outdoor equipment can be found in the
Operating and Service Manuals of the wheel detection equipment.

Interfaces of ACM
Overview of interfaces
The ACM provides the following interfaces:
• ID plug
• Ethernet
• process connector
• SIM1, SIM2 sockets
ID plug socket
A 9-pin socket for a programmable configuring connector (ID plug) is located in the upper
front section of the ACM. The ID plug has a non-volatile memory. The configuration data
specific to each ACM is loaded onto the ID plug. The associated track vacancy detection
section can be written on the front of the ID plug. The ID plug can be removed and in-
serted without a tool.
The 9-pin socket of the ACM is exclusively used for the ID plug.
SAV-B <IO5>
Ethernet interface
An Ethernet interface is available in the lower front section of the ACM. The RJ45 socket
is used for connection to a network. An ACM network can be set up in this way. Switches
are used for interconnecting a number of ACMs.
Using the Ethernet interface, configuration data can be loaded via the ACM onto the ID
plug. The interface can also be used to output diagnostic data.
For the optional connection of a local diagnostic PC, one RJ45 socket per cabinet or rack
should be kept free on a switch.
When using two ACMs, a direct connection without a switch can be set up between the
ACMs. A diagnostic interface is not available when using this type of connection.

Indoor equipment
3.2 ACM interfaces
Process connector
On the underside of the ACM, there is a 96-pin male connector for connecting a system
cable.
The following connections are combined on the process connector:
• Two dual-channel relay outputs for track vacancy detection sections 1 and 2:
− The clear and occupied indications are transmitted via floating relay contacts.
For the relay output, either an equivalent or a non-equivalent connection can be
used.
− The outputs can alternatively be used to output safety-related information (SRI)
or the "pulse detected" indication of locally connected wheel detection equip-
ment.
• Four dual-channel floating inputs:
− AZGT inputs for:
1. Axle count reset (AZGT) per TVDS
or
2. Read-in of safety-related information (SRI) if the associated TVDS is not
used
− AZGH inputs for:
1. Auxiliary axle count reset (AZGH) per TVDS (can be optionally used; there
are also buttons on the front panel of the ACM for AZGH)
or
2. Secondary axle count reset (AZG) per TVDS
or
3. Commissioning operation for manually setting a track vacancy detection sec-
tion to the occupied state
or
4. Read-in of safety-related information (SRI) if the associated TVDS is not
used
• Five single-channel relay outputs:
− Reset restriction (RR) per TVDS
− Reset acknowledgment (RA) per TVDS
− Operability of the ACM (BOK relay)
• Two interfaces for wheel detection equipment
• 24 V DC power supply interface and two terminals for potential equalization (earth or
rack potential)

Application of optional power supply module

If a 24 V DC power supply is available, a separate power supply may not be necessary
for the axle counting system.
In all other cases, we recommend using a power supply module from the Simatic S7-300
product line. These power supply modules can be used to power the ACMs and switches
without further checking the technical properties.
Requirements for supply voltage

The supply voltage must be between 21.6 V and 31.2 V DC.
Note: The ACM features reversible protection against overvoltage in the 24 V supply.
The ACM is switched off if the supply voltage exceeds 31.2 V. To put the ACM into op-
eration again, the supply must be disconnected briefly.
The supply voltage for the axle counting system must not permanently exceed 60 V DC
even in the event of a fault. 120 V DC are permissible for max. 200 ms.
Note: Commercial off-the-shelf power supplies designed in accordance with the SELV
principle as per EN 60950-1 meet the stated requirements (e.g. Sitop PS 307).
The ACM produces a maximum inrush current of 2.4 A.

Switch: selection criteria and connection of power supply
Switch applications
Switches are required for the Ethernet connection of the ACMs. We recommend using
the Scalance product family.
The use of network hubs is not permitted for the Ethernet connection of the ACMs.
Applications:
• for interconnecting ACMs to form networks
• for connection of a standard PC for configuration and diagnostic purposes

3.6 Cables of indoor equipment
Properties, wiring and cable laying
SAV-B <CI1>, <CI3>, <CI4>, <CI5>, <CI6>, <CIO1>
Properties of indoor cables on process connector

This section deals with all cables whose cores are electrically connected to the process
connector of the ACM and are laid in the indoor equipment. The cable termination rack
provides electrical isolation between the indoor and outdoor equipment.
• The length of the connecting cable must not exceed 100 m.
• The cable capacitance of the connecting cable must not exceed 10 nF.
• The cable must have a rated voltage of min. 300 V.
• The cable must be able to withstand a core-to-core and core-to-shield AC test volt-
age of 1 kVrms. If cores of the outdoor equipment (e.g. from the wheel detection
equipment) are routed together with indoor cores, the cable must be able to with-
stand a core-to-core and core-to-shield AC test voltage of 1.875 kVrms. The same
applies to cores within a connector or cable duct.
• The cables must have a robust shield, e.g. of wire mesh. (Does not apply to power
supply cables.)
• Cores must not be connected in parallel. (Does not apply to power supply cables.)
• The terminals used must have a rated voltage of min. 300 V and a rated impulse
voltage of min. 2.4 kV. If outdoor and indoor cores are routed together in a cable
duct, the terminals used must have a rated voltage of min. 300 V and a rated im-
pulse voltage of min. 4.96 kV.
Properties of Ethernet cables

• Ethernet cables must at least meet the requirements of Category 5 as per
EIA/TIA 568-TSB 36.
Wiring of cores
The following signals must be assigned to one pair of cores each determined by twisting
if star-quad or paired cables are used:
• signals of a set of wheel detection equipment
• signals for controlling an optocoupler input
• signals for interrogating a relay contact

Indoor equipment
Laying of power supply cables (part of ACM 200 system cable)

The power supply cables of the individual ACMs must be routed from the star point as an
Y configuration (separate cable to each ACM). The power supply cables may only be laid
indoors. The negative pole of the power supply must be earthed or, in an earth-free ar-
rangement, connected to rack potential.
The requirements relating to operator safety stipulated by national standards and regula-
tions must be complied with for laying.
Shielding
All cables to be connected to the ACM must be shielded up to the cable termination
rack/cabinet and up to the terminal strip.
If the cables are longer than 0.5 m, the shield must be terminated at one end when the
relevant cable is routed within an apparatus cabinet.
The shield must be terminated at both ends when the cable is used for connection with
other apparatus cabinets. When doing so, it must be ensured that the shield is not over-
loaded by equalizing currents. If excessive equalizing currents cannot be ruled out, addi-
tional earthing cables must be connected in parallel with the shield.
Cables leaving indoor area

If cables that are not used to connect wheel detection equipment leave the indoor area,
electrical isolation with basic insulation for a rated impact voltage VNI of 3.1 kV as per
EN 50124-1 must be implemented for these connections.
If the AZGT or AZGH inputs are used to transmit operator-specific safety-related informa-
tion (SRI) and it is necessary to have electrical isolation, the hazard resulting from the
connection must be determined and checked to ensure it is tolerable.
The electrical isolation for the digital inputs and outputs on the process connector of the
ACM can be implemented by means of relays with the appropriate dielectric properties.
For Ethernet connections, a changeover to, for example, optical fibers or modems with
the appropriate dielectric properties can be used.
The interference voltage on outdoor cables must not exceed the following limits:
• the maximum permissible interference voltage defined by the relevant railway opera-
tor
• a continuous interference voltage of 250 V AC
• a transient interference voltage of 1.5 kV AC (e.g. in the case of catenary contact
with the track or its equipment)

Properties of wheel detection equipment cable

• Outdoor cables must be able to withstand a core-to-core and core-to-shield AC test
voltage of min. 2.5 kVrms.
• The terminals used must have a rated voltage of min. 300 V and a rated impulse
voltage of min. 4.96 kV.
• All cables must have a shield.
• The shield must be connected to earth at one end at least. If the shield of a cable is
terminated more than once, overloading of the shield by equalizing currents must be
prevented. If excessive equalizing currents cannot be ruled out, additional earthing
cables must be connected in parallel with the shield.
The connection between shield bus and the the main potential equalization bar must
not be longer than 5 m, and the cross-section of the connecting cable must be min.
2
16 mm .
• The cable must have a rated voltage of min. 300 V.
• Information lines: cores must not be connected in parallel.
External supply cables: cores may be connected in parallel.
• Information lines must be star-quad or paired.
External supply cables may be core-stranded.
Requirements for cable laying

The cables must be laid as usual, e.g. underground or in cable troughs. The requirements
relating to operator safety stipulated by national standards and regulations must be com-
plied with.
Permissible other signals in main cable

In cables in which axle counting signals of type ZP wheel detection equipment are routed
may also transmit the following signals (in another star-quad of the cable):
• 230 Vrms or 100 V DC external supply of type ZP wheel detection equipment
• ISDN signals
• axle counting signals of Clearguard WSD wheel detectors
Further signals may be routed in one and the same cable with the axle counting signals
of type ZP wheel detection equipment if their non-critical nature has been demonstrated.

Outdoor equipment
4.3 Control distance restrictions
Interference voltage, armoring, and loop resistance
SAV-B <CS1>, <CV1>
Control distance between axle counting system and wheel detection equipment
The maximum permissible control distance between the axle counting system and con-
nected type ZP wheel detection equipment is restricted by the following:
• interference voltage
• loop resistance and cable capacitance
• attenuation of the signaling cable
Interference voltage
The interference voltage must not exceed the following limits:
• the maximum permissible interference voltage defined by the relevant railway opera-
tor
• a continuous interference voltage of 250 V AC
• a transient interference voltage of 1.5 kV AC (e.g. in the case of catenary contact
with the track or its equipment)
When determining the interference voltage, account must be taken of the fact that the
wheel detector cables attached to an ACM are galvanically connected inside the ACM.
Thus, unless the two wheel detector cables are routed along the same cable trough, cal-
culation must be based on the overall length of the two cables. A broadband transformer
(BBT) galvanically subdivides the cable lengths to be considered into separate lengths to
be considered.
Figure 12 Interference situation for an axle counting system, a broadband trans-

former and two sets of wheel detection equipment

Outdoor equipment
Loop resistance and cable capacitance

The loop resistance must be less than 412 if the wheel detection equipment is supplied
via the ACM.
The cable capacitance of a separate information line must not be more than 325 nF. The
following line sections are separate information lines:
• between the ACM and a BBT
• between two BBTs
• between a BBT and wheel detection equipment
• between the ACM and wheel detection equipment
Notes
In cable data sheets, the resistance is generally indicated at 20 °C. Copper and aluminum
cables have a 10% higher cable resistance at a cable temperature which is 25 °C higher.
The resistance is 20% higher at a 50 °C higher cable temperature.
Example
The cable system between the ACM and wheel detection equipment comprises three dif-
ferent cable types with the following properties:
• 80 m of process cable, DC resistance of 140 /km at 20 °C, cable capacitance of
75 nF/km
• 4 km of main cable, nx4x0.9 signaling cable, loop resistance of 56.6 /km at 20 °C,
cable capacitance of 45.4 nF/km
• 0.25 km of tail cable, 1x4x0.8 signaling cable, loop resistance of 73.2 /km at 20 °C,
cable capacitance of 30 nF/km
The indoor area is air-conditioned to < 45 °C; thus, a 10 % higher cable resistance is
used. The outdoor cables are laid in an overground cable trough; thus, a 20 % higher ca-
ble resistance is used.
Verification:
The loop resistance must be less than 412 :
• 0.08 km * 2 * 140 /km * 1.1 + 4 km * 56.6 /km * 1.2 + 0.25 km * 73.2 /km * 1.2
= 318.28 < 412
The cable capacitance must be less than 325 nF:
• 0.08 km * 75 nF/km + 4 km * 45.4 nF/km + 0.25 km * 30 nF/km = 195.1 nF < 325 nF
Result:
The cable system can be used provided that the maximum permissible interference volt-
age is not exceeded.

Connection
Max. two sets of wheel detection equipment can be connected to an ACM. The wheel

Wiring
The signals of a set of wheel detection equipment must each be assigned to one pair of
cores determined by twisting.
External supply
External supply means that the wheel detection equipment is powered via two additional
cores. When using the external supply option, the fuses for the relevant wheel detection
equipment must be removed in the axle counting system.
Double usage
Double usage means that a set of wheel detection equipment is used by two different
ACMs, i.e. is operated as double-usage wheel detection equipment. When using the
double-usage option, one ACM must be connected as usual to the wheel detection
equipment, i.e. with fuse. The other ACM is connected via the double-usage output or
the double-usage board (depending on the type of wheel detection equipment) without
fuse.

The earthing and protective measures concept for indoor and outdoor equipment must be
agreed on with the relevant rail operator (overall earthing system). Special measures in
accordance with customer specifications must be considered individually and dealt with in
a separate document on a project-specific basis.

5.2 Operator safety
5.2 Operator safety
Earthed or earth-free installation
The axle counting system must be installed in cabinets or buildings which can only be
accessed by authorized staff (SAV-B <OP4>). The ACM can be used in an earthed or
earth-free arrangement.
The operating ground (GND, pins B31 and B32) provided via the process connector and
the protective earth conductor contacts (PE, pins C31 and C32) are connected within the
axle counting system both to each other and to the housing.
The potentials connected to the outdoor equipment (wheel detector interface) are earth-
free. The switching voltages of the optocoupler inputs and relay outputs can be either
earthed or earth-free.
Earthed installation – all conductive parts are earthed

For earthed installation of the axle counting system, all the conductive parts must be
earthed via reliable connections. The conductive parts include, for example, the ACM, the
122 mm mounting rail, the shield bus and the TS 35 mounting rail. The ACM housing is
earthed via the process connector (pins C31 and C32).
Earth-free installation – requires additional measures

For earth-free installation of the axle counting system, a non-conductive environment
must be created and protective measures for electrical equipment in a non-conductive
environment as per DIN VDE 0100-410, IEC 60364-4-41 or a comparable standard must
be taken:
• Floors and walls must be insulating.
• No protective earth conductor must be present in the non-conductive environment.
• Minimum distances must be observed between persons and external conductive
parts.
• Effective obstacles must be provided between persons and external conductive parts.
• The implemented conditions must be permanent and must not be capable of being
made ineffective.
For earth-free installation of the ACM, pins C31 and C32 of the process connector must
be connected to rack potential. No earth potential must be connected to the housing of
the ACM.

Design examples of earthing and shielding concept
The figures below show examples of possible designs for the connection of cable shields
to railway earth. An exception is the connection in the trackside connection box (TCB). In
the TCB, the shield and armoring are isolated because the tail cable to the TCB is shorter
than 250 m.
The tail cables to the wheel detection equipment must not be longer than 250 m. If a tail
cable is longer than 250 m, the cable shield must be terminated at both ends, i.e. it must
also be connected to the earth terminal in the TCB.
The following applies to DB AG (see Earthing Concept [EC-AC]): Anti-rodent protec-
tion armoring has no guaranteed electrical properties and must thus not be electrically
connected at the ends and in cable joints. The ends must be insulated thoroughly.

Note: observe the conditions for induction protection earthing (see Earthing Concept [EC-
AC] and DS 997.0204).
Figure 14 Earthing and shielding concept for use of the axle counting system in
electronic interlockings or type WSSB relay interlockings (German
State Railway type)

The example below shows the additional use of an insulating joint at the point of entry
into the interlocking. The shields of the indoor equipment are connected to the local
earth-free potential equalization facility of the interlocking.
Note: observe the conditions for induction protection earthing (see Earthing Concept [EC-
AC] and DS 997.0204).

5.4 Earthing and protective measures for DB AG's direct current traction systems
5.4 Earthing and protective measures for DB AG's

direct current traction systems
Earthing and shielding concept
In DC traction systems, all shields are terminated at one end in the cable termination
rack/cabinet of the indoor equipment. The shield and armoring are isolated in the track-
side connection box (TCB). This may reduce availability. For reasons of stray-current pro-
tection, equipment connected to the track must be installed isolated from earth/structure.
The tail cables to the wheel detection equipment must not be longer than 250 m. If a tail
cable is longer than 250 m, no cable shield and no armoring must be connected to the
earth terminal in the TCB in the case of DC traction systems.

6 Interface to higher-level system
6.1 Relay outputs
Mode of operation and connection examples of relay outputs
SAV-B <INT1>, <INT2>, <IO1>
Fail-safe and non-fail-safe relay outputs

Two dual-channel relay outputs are available at the process connector of the ACM:
• TVDS 1 A and TVDS 1 B
• TVDS 2 A and TVDS 2 B
All other relay outputs are single-channel.
Mode of operation of fail-safe relay outputs (dual-channel)

The ACM can output two safety-related items of information via floating relay contacts
implemented as changeover contacts. Thanks to the use of positively driven contacts, the
ACM is able to check the switching capability of the normally open contacts. The ACM
does not support the detection of intercore contacts.
If a normally open contact remains closed due to a failure, a safety shutdown of the ACM
is performed. The safety shutdown rules out a hazard due to a second failure within the
ACM. The safety shutdown has no influence on the invalid relay output which continues
to exist.
The hazard rate resulting from multiple failures strongly depends on the connection of the
relay outputs and the response of the higher-level system to invalid relay outputs and
must be established as part of a safety assessment of the interface between the axle
counting system and the higher-level system. Any necessary information on the ACM for
a safety assessment can be found in the “Safety-related Application Conditions for Op-
erators”.
Application conditions for fail-safe relay outputs

In the case of an equivalent connection, normally open contacts shall be used.
The higher-level system only shall interpret the equivalent and non-equivalent safety-
related relay outputs as valid information if the relay contacts of both channels indicate
the same logical state.
Contact bounce for relay output

When states switch over, the contacts of the relevant relay may bounce for up to 100 ms;
this behavior may result in invalid states. The higher-level system must be able to handle
this behavior (e.g. though multiple evaluation).

6.1 Relay outputs
RR and RA outputs
The RR is output in accordance with the reset restriction of the configured primary reset
procedure. The reset acknowledgment is output by both configured reset procedures.

6.2 AZGT/AZGH inputs on process connector
Inputs
SAV-B <IO2>, <IO3>

The axle count reset information (AZGT), auxiliary axle count reset information (AZGH) or
secondary axle count reset information (via AZGH inputs) and operator-specific safety-
related information (SRI) must be applied in dual-channel mode to the AZGT or AZGH
inputs on the process connector of the ACM.
Maximum current/voltage
The optocoupler inputs may be directly operated at a voltage of 21.6 V DC to 72 V DC. In
the passive state, the current through the optocoupler inputs may be max. 200 µA. The
control of the inputs must be able to drive min. 3.5 mA per input. The inputs are polarized.

Monitoring and response to button inputs

The response to button inputs, both for an axle count reset and safety-related information,
is slightly delayed. The figure below shows the relationships for the default configuration
value for RA pulse expansion (P_TVDS#_RATi = 3 s), where
• tf = front offset of dual-channel button input
• tc = common time of dual-channel button input
• tr = rear offset of dual-channel button input

Measures against unauthorized access

If data is to be transmitted via public networks (transmission system in accordance with
EN 50159, Category 3, e.g. telephone networks, internet), additional measures against
unauthorized access are required. These measures are described in EN 50159 (Category
3).
Note: the ACM uses a non-linear safety code for its fail-safe communication connections.
6.4 Response times
Track occupied indication delay
SAV-B <INT3>, <INT4>, <INT5>, <INT6>
Local wheel detection equipment and track vacancy detection sections

When using locally connected wheel detection equipment, the axle counting system indi-
cates a train at its relay output within 150 ms if the train travels at max. 80 km/h. If the
train travels at a speed of more than 80 km/h, it is indicated at the relay output within
1.15 s.
Wheel detection equipment or track vacancy detection sections connected via Ethernet
If the wheel detection information or the state of a track vacancy detection section is re-
ceived via Ethernet, the track occupied indication delay may be increased by the config-
ured connection failure detection time in the event of faulty data transmission.
Note 1: in the event of fault-free communication, the delay through Ethernet communica-
tion is typically 200 ms as long as the transmit rate is set to 50 ms. Due to a disruption in
communications, the default connection failure detection time of 700 ms can result in a
track occupied indication delay of 1.85 s in the case of trains traveling at a speed of more
than 80 km/h.
Note 2: if both wheel detection information and the state of the track vacancy detection
section are transmitted via Ethernet, both configured connection failure detection times
must be taken into account. The relevant default setting is 700 ms, resulting in a track
clear indication delay of 2.55 s.

6.4 Response times
Detailed analysis of track occupied indication delay

If the time of 1.15 s until occupied indication at the relay outputs is too long, a detailed
analysis can be performed. This analysis must be performed for all trains traveling in the
track vacancy detection section concerned.
The track clear indication delay depends on the diameter of the first wheel, the axle spac-
ing between the first and second wheels and the train speed. The figures below show the
delays for different diameters of the first wheel. The next-smaller wheel diameter must be

Installation, acceptance and commissioning
7 Installation, acceptance and commissioning
WARNING
Dangerous operating conditions and risk of accidents due to improper work!
Improper work may cause serious personal injury.
Observe all regulations and work rules to avoid any risk of injury or damage.
DANGER
Danger due to interference voltage!
All boards, components and cables may be subject to interference voltage.
In order to avoid accidental contact with parts subject to interference voltage (also in
the switched-off state), the protective provisions for work on live parts must be ob-
served.
CAUTION
Hot components! Danger of burning!
Especially in non-air-conditioned rooms or apparatus cabinets, the ACM can become
very hot.
Use gloves when replacing the ACM.
NOTICE
Electrostatic sensitive components!
Touching circuit boards causes your body to discharge its static charge. This may de-
stroy electronic components.
Do not touch any board connections or plug connectors.

Insulation measurement
SAV-B <OP7>
When commissioning the system for the first time, an insulation measurement in accor-
dance with IEC 60364-6:2006 must be performed on the signaling cable between the
evaluation computer and core/earth of the type ZP wheel detection equipment.
Note: the following is defined in accordance with IEC 60364-6:2006, Section 62.2.1, Note
1: the maximum interval between periodic verifications may be laid down by legal or other
national regulations.
Insulation measurement must also be performed during normal operation. Automatic
earth leakage detectors can be used for this purpose to monitor adherence to the re-
quired leakage/insulation resistance. If monitoring by means of automatic earth leakage
detectors is not possible, core-to-earth insulation measurements can also be performed
manually. A test cycle of 24 months is recommended.
Checks upon acceptance and commissioning
Rules CAL1, CHK1, CHK2, CHK3, PV4, ZP41 and ZP14 from the Safety-related Applica-
tions Conditions for Operators (SAV-B) must be observed during acceptance and com-
missioning.

Hazard rate SIL 4 as per EN 50129 with respect to the hazards listed below
The following hazard is controlled with a hazard rate of < 6.1 E-
-1
10 h :
The indication that there is no train in a section (“clear”) although
there is at least part of a train in the section, or the status transi-
tion indications “clear” – “occupied” – “clear” (corresponds to a
passing train) although the relevant track vacancy detection sec-
tion has not been traversed.
The stated hazard rate applies to the ZP D 43 when it is used
with a traversal cycle of once a year, and to the ZP 43 E/V when
it is used with a traversal cycle of 30 days.
Note: if the ZP 43 E/V is used with a traversal cycle of once a
year, the hazard rate is 2.1 E-9 /h per track vacancy detection
section.
The following hazard is controlled with a hazard rate of < 2 E-
-1
10 h per TVDS output relay:
The untimely dual-channel energization of the TVDS output relay
(contact not in the release state) for the output of binary safety-
related information (SRI).
Note: when quantifying this hazard, it has been assumed on a
plausibility basis that the binary information to be transmitted
changes its state at least twice a year.
