v inputs: control of devices
v outputs: status of the SDE contacts on the Normal and Replacement source devices.
c connector to the two Normal and Replacement source devices:
v inputs:
- status of the OF contacts on each device (ON or OFF)
- status of the SDE contacts on the Normal and Replacement source devices
v outputs: power supply for motor mechanisms.
c control voltage:
v 24 to 250 V DC
v 48 to 415 V 50/60 Hz
v 440 V 60 Hz.
The control voltage for the IVE electrical interlocking unit must be identical to that
of the operating mechanism.
Necessary equipment
Each device must be equipped with:
c a remote-operation system made up of:
v MCH gear motor
v MX or MN opening release
v XF closing release
v PF “ready to close” contact
c an available OF contact
c a CE connected-position carriage switch on drawout devices.
