Training Overview
Signalling Appreciation
Course Group: Signalling
The Product
Railway Signalling is a small but highly specialised part of a transportation system that provides the
operational safety to move people and freight within rail corridors. The philosophy of Railway Signalling is
common to most Rail Authorities, the essence being to facilitate safe and efficient train movements. The
fundamental requirements of Railway Signalling are that it performs its function safely, efficiently and
reliably.
Signalling
This course demonstrates all aspects of Railway Signalling that provide a safe signalling system. It is not
particularly slanted towards specific equipment or applications, but can be customised if required.
Target Audience
This training course provides a high-level overview of signalling principles and applications. It is an
introduction for any person who will work within a signalling environment in a non-technical role. The
knowledge gained in this course will provide a basic understanding of railway terminology, systems and
applications.
Competencies
On completion of this course, participants should be able to:
 state the common terminology and nomenclature used in signalling environments

Intermediate Railway
Signalling Training Course
Competency-based training for the rail industry
The world of the Railway Signalling Engineer encompasses a wide sweep of knowledge
Signalling
and expertise that newcomers can find overwhelming in its many-layered complexity.
It is a dynamic world which has seen huge advances in recent years—from historic
lever and relay controls to the latest computer-based interlocking, detection, train
control, train-borne and networking systems.
Signal Engineering includes considerations of headway

and operational requirements, signalling arrangements,
the application of the Authority’s own signalling principles
and integration of new with old. Railway signalling
systems have to be designed, installed and subjected to
rigorous testing before handover to the Authority. All of
this must occur within the constraints of cost-efficiency.
Siemens’ Intermediate Railway Signalling Training Course
offers an introductory and wide-ranging investigation of
this modern world of railway signalling. It comprises
eleven modules introducing:
Interlocking principles
Signalling the layout
Control tables
Design, design procedures and documentation
Train detection

Trackguard WESTRACE Ladder Logic

Appreciation for Maintainers
Course Group: Trackguard WESTRACE MkI & II
The Product
MoviolaW is the information and bit viewer for Trackguard WESTRACE MkI & MkII
interlockings and their associated Object Controllers. It graphically displays real-time operation of the railway
from route setting request to route release. It logs every change of state in the ladder logic for that
interlocking. These logs can be viewed graphically in ‘Replay’ or downloaded for further examination. They
are extremely useful to maintenance teams under fault conditions, in the investigation of incidents or when
alarms have been generated by the WESTRACE.
In order to interrogate the WESTRACE ladder logic, a knowledge of interlocking principles and the ability to
read the rungs, nomenclature and status of the individual ladder logic bits is vital for efficient resolution of
problems and incidents.
This course has been built upon the example of a single route. It starts at the route request from Train
Control. It passes through the route availability, setting, route locking, point-calling, route checking and final
aspect setting for that route - with some further explanation of approach locking and sub-route locking and
their conditioning. It proceeds to route cancellation and then looks at low-speed route setting. There is a unit
dedicated to axle-counters and their resetting, sweep and sweep-bypass functions.
The course may be tailored to the specific interlocking rules, nomenclature and signalling type of any
particular Railway Authority. It is aimed firmly at the Maintenance level of knowledge required for fault
finding and resolution. It should give the Maintainer the same knowledge and confidence to interrogate
ladder logic as he/ she had with the original route-relay wiring diagrams.
Target Audience
This course is for Signalling Maintainers responsible for maintenance of Trackguard WESTRACE interlockings
and Object Controllers, fault finding and incident investigation.
Competencies
 Describe the basic steps from route request to aspect setting
 Describe the purpose of approach locking
 Describe the purpose of sub-route locking
 Describe how a route is cancelled

Trainguard® European Train Control

System (ETCS) Appreciation
Course Group: Train Protection Systems
The Product
The European Train Control System (ETCS) is a control and train protection system that was initially designed

to replace the many incompatible safety systems currently used by European railways, especially on high-
speed lines. This standard has been taken up by many railway companies around the world.
ETCS at its simplest format requires standard trackside equipment and a standard controller within the train
cab. In its final form, all lineside information is passed to the driver electronically, removing the need for
lineside signals which, at high speed, could be almost impossible to see or assimilate.
ETCS is specified at four different levels:

§ Level 0: ETCS-compliant locomotives or rolling stock interact with lineside equipment that is non-
ETCS compliant
§ Level 1: ETCS is installed on lineside (possibly superimposed with legacy systems) and onboard; spot
transmission of data from track to train via ETCS balises
§ Level 2: Same as level 1, but ETCS data transmission is continuous; the currently used data carrier is

Training Overview
Trainguard® ETCS Level 1 Trackside

Course Group: Trainguard®
The Product
European Train Control System (ETCS) is a signalling, control and train protection system designed to replace
the many incompatible safety systems. ETCS Level 1 is a cab signalling system that can be superimposed on

the existing signalling system, leaving the fixed signal system in place. The system is made up of Wayside and
Onboard subsystems.
The Wayside subsystem consists of eurobalise radio beacons which pick up signal aspects from the trackside
signals via signal adapters and telegram coders (Lineside Electronics Unit – LEU) and transmit them to the
vehicle as a movement authority together with route data at fixed points. The on-board computer
continuously monitors and calculates the maximum speed and the braking curve from this data.
Target Audience
This course is for Railway Signal Electricians and Maintainers. The course will build on their existing
knowledge of railway operation and enable them to diagnose, fault find and maintain ETCS trackside
installations.
Competencies
§ Describe the target systems ETCS architecture
§ Describe the elements of the ETCS system
§ Describe the functions and interfaces of ETCS modules
§ Explain the meaning of the LEDs and displays on the ETCS modules
§ Demonstrate changeover and replacement of ETCS modules
§ Load and verify application data in an ETCS installation
§ Use MoviolaW to observe and interpret ETCS telegrams
§ Fault find ETCS trackside equipment
