ACS2000
The benefits of the simple and clear design can be seen even at the planning stage. Once the track plan is available, project planning for the axle counting system can be completed within a very short period of time. The system can be configured for trams and industrial railways, as well as for high-performance sections of long-distance tracks with passenger traffic.
Benefits of the ACS2000:
- Monitoring of sections with a maximum of 6 (12) counting heads that can be traversed simultaneously
- Triple use of the counting heads for axle counting and switching tasks
- Traversing speeds from 0 to 450 km/h – field tests up to 330 km/h
- Safe control of the electromagnetic and eddy current brakes
- The wheel sensor system permits distances of 10 km between the wheel sensor and the evaluation board
- Development and appraisal in accordance with CENELEC standards
- Extremely simple project planning for the axle counting system
- Home setting conditions and procedures can be configured
- Secure communication of signals between two axle counting boards (block sections) in line with EN 50159-1, via RS232 and a suitable transmission system Clear diagnostics interfaces
Modular system for efficient track vacancy detection
The board racks, which have already been specifically configured in line with the installation, are delivered to the signalling system and connected with the counting heads there, via the cable system.
In accordance with the rail profile, the counting heads are supplied mounted on the rail claw and only need to be secured at the rail bed and connected with the earth line.
As far as adjustment work on site is concerned, electrical calibration of the wheel sensors on the track (RSR122 and RSR123) must be carried out, along with a check on the counting direction for each counting head.
This check can be carried out by using setting switches in the inner system. Overall commissioning takes place using a test procedure that verifies all the settings once again.
