DESCRIPTION

Remote monitoring and immediate failure or malfunction reporting capabilities

improve crossing maintenance efficiency

Meets the SIL4 safety integrity level according to the CENELEC standards
EN 50 126, EN 50 128, EN 50 129 and EN 50 159.
Modular design uses broad portfolio of electronic safe I/O modules controlled by
a central processor unit and monitored by a diagnostic server module.
I/O modules allow to control flashing lights, both bulbs and LEDs.
There are modules to control various types of gates and their lights.
Available in chassis configurations ranging from very simple to the most complex
grade crossing configurations.
Track circuits, axle counters and wheel detectors can be interfaced.
Offers easy configuration and tests in lab as well as simple and quick on-site setup
Enables to interface other vital logic via signal or vital communication links.
Communication links are fully redundant and use industrial standard protocols
(RS485/RS232/LonWorks/Ethernet/TCP/IP) with optional vital protocol.
The diagnostics puts maximum stress on failure prevention with timely detection
of deviations.
