Wheel Detection Principles

Phase detection employed Signals fed at 21Khz and 25Khz to Tx coils at 60V Phase of signal output of Rx compared with Tx AT PD Module/Card :

Under No wheel Tx and Rx signals will be 180 OUT-OF-PHASE >10V Under wheel condition Tx and Rx will be IN-PHASE <100mV

These are fed to CPU at 5V and 0V Wheels above 500mm diameter only are detected For a train at 250Kmph, pulse width is about 2.2ms Frequency of Scanning by processor for PD signal is 300s 7 times for every wheel

Hardware Modules / Cards

CPU Card (CPU1 & CPU2)

Failsafe 2 out of 2 architecture for controlling and monitoring the SSDAC for reliable operation Houses the system software that schedules the overall operation as per configuration A vital card that detects the movement of train axles/wheels that is more than 550mm diameter Rejects trolley, dolly, spoke wheels and push trolley wheels Counts the total number of train axles and updates the system Communication between two SSDAC systems is through FSK communication at 1200bps V.23 standard along with CRC check Vital data like axle counts and system status are transmitted/received between the SSDAC system units Axles sensed by Detector Coils are fed to PD card which in turn feeds signal to CPU. The relay drive card receives instructions from CPU for actuating Vital relay for blocking a section as soon as the first axle is detected. It is cleared after both IN and OUT counts of the section match Generates required multiple power outputs from 24VDC input

Dos and Don'ts

Sl.No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 DOs The interconnection drawings are to be followed for connecting the Transmitter and Receiver Coils. Tx1 is 21 KHz, Tx2 is 25 KHz & Rx1 and RX2 coils are 21 KHz & 25 KHz, respectively Ensure that Receiver and Transmitter coil cables are laid in different pipes. Ensure that both the TX coils & RX coils are having proper alignment on Rail. Ensure that packing of sleepers with ballast on both sides of Axle detector is proper Check that metal sheaths of the outdoor cable are connected to earth at both ends The recommended cables for wiring of the system at site should be used The steady battery voltage 24 V should be maintained. The cable connections should not be loose The M.S Coupler connectors of SSDAC are checked and maintained firmly. Preparatory Reset should be done only after ensuring that there is no train It is recommended that heat resisting paint to be used on the apparatus case so that the temperature inside apparatus case is maintained lower in comparison to other normal paints

Dos and Don'ts Contd

Sl.No 1 DONTs Dont cut or join the Transmitter/Receiver cables supplied along with the coil. It would result in change of levels of signals. Dont remove the modules from SSDAC Units under POWER ON condition of system. Remove module if necessary after switching OFF the power to the Unit. Local Address of the CPU-1 and CPU 2 and configuration settings of the system should not be changed at the field. The hardware of Communication module and Relay Drive module are similar for all systems. However their positions of mounting is different in different unit types. These modules have to be equipped correctly after verifying the drawings as mentioned in the installation manual (DRG-1 to DRG-4) which indicates their positions Caution Board has to be placed near the SSDAC Axle detectors to avoid damage to the Coils from packing machines

Speed-Test using Real-time Wheel Simulator

Wheel dia 918mm RPM meter

The SSDAC G-36 speed-test setup along with Tx & Rx DPs mounted for axle detection at varying speeds from 0 to 250kmph is shown in the figure

The wheel simulator simulates actual train wheel (918mm dia) at varying speeds from 0 to 250Kmph
The speed of wheel simulator was varied from 0 to 250Kmph and axle counts of RPM meter and counts on LCD panel of SSDAC were noted The RPM counts and wheel counts on LCD panel of SSDAC matched upto max of 9999 counts and at speeds of 5, 50, 150, 200, 225, 250 kmph
