Various interfaces and evaluation options open up a broad range of applications for Frauscher products: axle counting applications in railway stations and on block sections, securing of level crossings, localisation of hot boxes, automatic warning systems, diagnostic systems for sets of points, hump yards or positioning aids for loading and unloading devices.
With a view to safety and availability, normally under very difficult usage conditions, extremely stringent requirements are made of wheel detection and axle counting for main lines.
Safe and highly-available signal evaluation, from simple reporting and monitoring tasks to axle counting, must be guaranteed even at speeds of up to 450 km/h and with huge magnetic interference fields caused by linear eddy current brakes, low-lying transformers or traction motors.
With a view to safety and availability, subject normally to a wide range of background conditions, extremely stringent requirements are made of wheel detection and axle counting for regional lines.
Whether a secondary line, a mountain railway or a type of regional line that is specific to a particular country - we are familiar with the details of each individual requirement. Due to our extensive experience, and our modular and scalable systems, we are therefore able to provide the optimal configuration in every case.
Our robust components are ideally suited to wheel detection and axle counting tasks even when subjected to enormous mechanical and chemical stresses and to extreme climatic conditions. Many years of experience using these components under even the most extreme conditions has proven the reliability and robustness of our systems.
Axle counting technology combined with inductive wheel sensors forms the foundation for safe, reliable and cost-effective generation of clear and occupied reports. Safe monitoring of the track sections can take place both in the station area and over longer distances between two stations or signal boxes. A particularly cost-effective feature is the multiple use of counting heads in various counting section (double or triple usage).
Our extremely modern and reliable axle counting systems offer many additional functions and can therefore be integrated into all interlocking systems in an optimal manner, whether via a relay or via an Ethernet-based serial interface.
The availability of wheel detection and axle counting systems is heavily dependent on electromagnetic interference at the sensor - vehicle interface, among other things. The detection and evaluation of such emissions forms the basis for the EN50238-3 standard.
In addition to axle counting, the company offers a number of inductive, distance measuring sensor systems for a very wide range of applications. These specific solutions are generally implemented in a joint development process with the customer.

In conjunction with an appropriate evaluation device, the wheel sensor type RSR180 is suited to reliable detection of rolling stock wheels. It is conveniently secured using a rail claw at the rail base. This means that there is no need to drill into the rail! The wheel sensor RSR180 is connected to the evaluation board in the inner system using a signal cable with star-quad stranding.
Depending on the signal evaluation, the scope of use for the wheel sensor RSR180 extends from simple reporting and monitoring tasks and detection of the direction of travel to axle counting at speeds ranging from 0-450 km/h.

"Global Markets – Customized Solutions” is this year's Frauscher motto for InnoTrans in Berlin. Experience has shown that customer-specific adaptations are required in order to be able to guarantee maximum availability with the highest level of safety and low life cycle costs.
As a system integrator, you can benefit in particular from the serial interface of the new FAdC and FAdCi axle counting systems, which makes considerably more information available whilst greatly reducing hardware usage and wiring costs. As an interface, you can import your own protocol or even the Frauscher protocol. In comparison to conventional axle counting systems, the investment costs for the FAdC and FAdCi are up to 30-40% lower.
Moreover, the re-developed software tools offer enormous potential for saving, as you can carry out the configuration, diagnosis or simulation yourself. With the tools, you can design track layouts quickly and simply, and generate all other information such as configuration files or planning documents automatically. This reduces the time and programming outlay considerably, and further changes can be made in the course of the project without incurring high additional costs.

At the beginning of December Network Rail granted approval for the introduction onto the UK rail network of the Frauscher axle counting system ''Frauscher Advanced Counter'' FAdC®. This approval is valid for diesel traction applications including all Invensys Rail modular signalling projects as well as the Cardiff Area Signalling Renewals upgrade. After completion of successful field trials during the first/second quarter of 2013, this approval will be extended to include the use of the FAdC on AC and DC traction lines also.
Thanks to the Ethernet interface, which offers several benefits for both operators and system integrators, these projects have been equipped with the latest generation of axle counting equipment from Frauscher. Due to the customized interface the FAdC can be optimally integrated into modern electronic interlocking systems and therefore offers maximum flexibility in the design and configuration with minimal use of hardware.
Against the backdrop of the Austrian-Kazakh economic forum held in Vienna in late October, the Kazakh railway “Kazakh Temir Zholy” and Frauscher Sensortechnik signed a trilateral memorandum concerning strategic collaboration. Frauscher will adapt the axle counting system ACS2000 in accordance with the specific requirements for the modernisation and expansion of Kazakhstan’s rail network, and test this in the field.
The first trial systems have already been commissioned in collaboration with the local partner “Kazcenterelectroprovod”. On the occasion of a working visit to Vienna at the same time, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nasarbajew, personally enquired as to progress of the project and the technologies being put to use.
The axle counting generation FAdC® and FAdC®i with serial interface attracted many visitors.
The new software tool for planning, configuration, diagnostics and simulation was of particular interest. Moreover all the various applications of our broad product portfolio in the area of wheel detection were impressively presented. CEO Michael Thiel summarized the exhibition as follows: “An extremely positive customer response was very welcome for the company. Frauscher’s newly generated exhibition booth further strengthened the position as technology leader for wheel detection and axle counting system.”
On 16/02/2012, the Research Design & Standard Organisation (RDSO) of the Indian Railway issued approval for the Frauscher axle counting system ACS2000. The approval process is based on the "Cross Acceptance" principle according to the regulations of the RDSO of the Indian Railway and lasts around a year. At the start of May, Akilesh Yadav, Director/Signal Research of RDSO, and Sanjay Kumar Singh, Chief Signal Telecom Engineer of Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation Ltd (MVRC), visited the company headquarters in St. Marienkirchen and approved initial simulation tests and material inspections.
In the context of the project for MRVC, Frauscher is equipping around 1,400 track sections with the ACS2000 axle counting system and RSR180 wheel sensors on the Central Railway and Western Railway in Mumbai. This approval is a vital basis for the cooperation with the Indian Railway.
At the end of April, Frauscher took part in the IRSTE convention "Modern Train Control" in New Delhi, India, as a Diamond Sponsor. Interest was high due to the current project at MRVC, the approval of the axle counting system ACS2000 for India and the specialist paper on the subject of "State-of-the-art Axle Counting Systems" delivered by Martin Rosenberger.
Even high-ranking representatives of the Indian Railway Ministry and members of the Railway Board including Kul Bhushan and Arun Saksena attended for a first-hand account and view of the Frauscher technologies. Frauscher did not just develop new and interesting contacts at the conference, but also gained an insight into the attractive development trend in the Indian railway sector.

In order to guarantee that this top-quality support is always available quickly and with the flexibility and efficiency one would expect from Frauscher customer support, Frauscher has decided to sign up some capable partners. Given appropriate training and practical experience, they can then provide sensor technology on Frauscher's behalf as "certified service partners".
The main roles of the "certified Frauscher service partners" are:
- setup and commissioning of test installations;
- assembly and commissioning support;
- other support functions (e.g. software updates, etc.);
- troubleshooting and analysis.
Since it was certified, L&B has already taken on several service orders on behalf of Frauscher. Among others, these included commissioning the ACS2000 axle counting system, a field trial in Siegdorf (ICE line) and a software update for RSR123 in Germany (Chemnitz, Döbeln, Waldheim, etc.). More service work is planned, including some in Denmark.
