3 INTRODUCTION
This document describes all information required for the operation of CETEST’s Instrumented Wheelsets
(IWS) systems related to 10 IWS project.
3.1 Main functions and intended use

CETEST´s instrumented wheelsets measure the contact forces between wheel and rail by means of
installation of strain‐gauges on the wheel webs, based on a proprietary patented method. The method
defines a strategy based on FEM analysis of the wheel for the radial and angular positioning of the gauges
that permits the measurement of the Vertical (Q) and Lateral (Y) wheel/rail contact force with any wheel
web. The data is processed in real time so the forces between wheel and rail are monitored continuously.
3.2 Use in accordance with purpose

The IWS must only be used for the specific purpose described above. Any attempt to alter or modify the
system or its use for any other purpose will be considered not to be in accordance with its purpose and
regarded as misuse. Misuse may result in injury to personnel or serious damage to equipment. In all cases
any warranty in force will be invalidated, while CETEST will not accept any liability for misuse.
3.3 What did you get

or incorrect product and/or system operation. Contact CETEST when in doubt as to the safety precautions
and operations.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could cause equipment damage and personal
injury.
A CAUTION is used to indicate correct operating or maintenance procedures and practices to prevent
damage to, or destruction of equipment or other property.
A WARNING indicates a potential danger that requires correct procedures or practices to avoid personal
injury.
A DANGER is only used when your action or lack of action may cause serious injury or even death.
Caution: Do not operate the system in a manner not specified in this document. Product
misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection built into the product
if the product is damaged in any way. If the product is damaged, return it to CETEST for repair.
Warning: Follow safety guidelines specified in subsystems specific manuals.
Caution: Do not handle the equipment in a different way as the specified in section 10.1.
Caution: Keep system away from flames and heat. Excessive heat will damage
instrumentation. For optimum performance do not expose equipment to temperatures of
70°C or higher.
Caution: Do not expose system to direct liquid jets. Instrumentation may be damaged.
Caution: Assure that there is no contact with IWS instrumented areas.
Caution: Do not manipulate IWS fixed instrumentation (Telemetry ring, connectors, …)

without express consent of CETEST.
Warning: Check that the fixing screws and all mechanical brackets are correctly tightened.
Caution: While not installed on the vehicle, wheelsets and auxiliary equipment shall be kept
inside the wooden crates and stored on an indoor clean and dry location, as specified in
section 10.2.
Caution: While using MTP‐NT‐IPWR‐SET‐2XL power heads, cable must be unrolled. Otherwise
it will warm up.
Danger: The power head emits strong magnetic radiation at 30‐60 kHz to a distance of 300
mm. Therefore, people with cardiac pacemakers should not work with this device!
Warning: Magnetic data storage media should be kept in a distance of at least 3m from the
power head to avoid data loss. The same is valid for electromagnetic sensitive parts, devices
and systems.
Warning: Do not place the power head in the switched‐on state on metallic objects, because
this results in eddy currents which could overload the device and strong heat up small objects.
In addition, the probe could be destroyed.
Warning: No metallic objects, other than the disc‐type coil, should be located in the air gap of
the power head. The same applies to metallic parts within a radius of up to 50 mm in all
directions.

In case that, due to room limitations, it is not possible to stay close to the system during field tests, both
data acquisition equipment and DPM`s can be remotely accessed. With this aim, the following equipment
could be used:
 5 ports Gigabit Ethernet Switch
 CAT8 Ethernet Gigabit LAN(RJ45) SSTP 40Gbps 2000Mhz wire, compatible with CAT5/6/7 Switch
Signals coming from IWS are transferred to the DPM, were calculation algorithms are applied in order to
obtain the required force values.
Interface between DPM and final user data acquisition system is performed via BNC connectors. 4 BNC
connectors per IWS will be used in order to obtain the output signals for vertical load and lateral load on
both wheels. Table 5‐4 shows a summary including the different telemetry and DPM serial number for
each IWS.

5.3 Wiring truck side / carbody side

Number of pick up telemetry and power supply wires can be seen in Table 5‐3.
Remember that, as mentioned in section 4, while using MTP‐NT‐IPWR‐SET‐2XL power heads, cable must
unrolled.
Wires are connected as shown in figures bellow.
Figure 5.47 Single telemetry configuration wiring truck side
Figure 5.48 Double telemetry configuration wiring truck side
These wires should be routed from the bogie frame up to the carbody side, where they are connected to
the telemetry power supply system and the telemetry decoder. Each decoder is connected to its
corresponding data processing module by means of a DB37 wire. Specifications of these wires and
connectors can be consulted on telemetry users manual [16].
Wire references for both pick‐up and power supply are:
 Data transmission: Y‐CONCABLE‐3 [26]
 Power: ÖFLEX 550P 0013630 (2x2,5) [27]
In case of double telemetry configuration, specific DB37 wires must be used. These wires have two inputs
and one output connector. It is important to connect each input terminal to its corresponding connector
according to table bellow.
Table 5‐8 Double telemetry configuration DB37 connector
Set Set Name IWS Number IWS SN Telemetry SN DB37 Connector Name

SN02 ET524 Wheel 02
Important: while performing wire routing from IWS to carbody, the following aspects must be
considered:
 IWS, bogie frame and carbody have relative movements. It is important to assure that
wires have enough clearance to absorb this movements.
 It must be assured that relative movements do not produce friction between wires
and other parts that can damage them
 When possible, wires should not be routed close to electromagnetic sources such as
engines, power wires, etc…
Form these modules, analog output signals are provided via BNC connectors. Connection with data
acquisition equipment is performed by means of BNC‐DB9 wires. Connectors pinout can be seen in Table
5‐9

6 IWS VERIFICATION TOOL
The goal of this verification process is to obtain deviations comparing the loads introduced by this specific
rig with the loads measured by the wheel set for different set values under controlled conditions. The
adjustment of the transfer functions of the wheelsets is not considered part of this process. This will serve
as pass / fail criteria dependent in the obtained deviations before going to the track.
The IWS verification will be performed by applying a well‐known lateral force between the inner faces of
the wheels in a predefined location. By means of this system, a bending will be applied to the wheels. This
bending creates a deformation status that can be used for verification of the IMW instrumentation
condition.
Verification tool main characteristics are listed below:
 A metallic beam placed between the wheels. As load is applied in the inner faces of both wheels
at the same time, it is a self‐reacted system.
 In one of the ends of the beam, a load cell will be installed.
 Load will be applied by means of a hydraulic actuator and pump.
 Load application position will be adjustable.
Verification system is composed of:
 Verification Tool ‐ JC.Z53.04.606.00
 Verification Tool Support ‐ JC.Z53.04.627.00
 Hand PUMP (P392) ‐ A09.10.303
 Hydraulic hose
Specific information for lateral load application system can be consulted in corresponding user’s manual
[18].
Figure 6.1 IWS Verification tool and support
Figure 6.2 Hand pump and hydraulic hose
Figure 6.3 IMS verification assembly
Verification process is performed as described below:

 Lift the IWS in order to avoid contact between wheels and rail.
 Place the verification tool between internal wheels faces, at the predefined points, without
touching them.
 Connect the Verification tool load cell to a data acquisition system and zero its value. When
configuring its measurement, consider that compressive loads should have negative values.
 Connect to IWS user interface SW.
 Click monitoring button.
 Click record.
 Turn the IWS by hands (5 turns approx.)
 Click HOME button
 Click Verification button
 Follow instructions described in Verification Process SW.
 Adjust the hydraulic jacks in order to assure that system is perfectly aligned whit the wheelset
rotation axle.
 Apply load steps of 10 kN from 0kN up to 40 kN by using the hydraulic pump.
 Apply a small load (around 5 kN) and release the lifting jacks.
 Compare values obtained from the data processing module with those from the verification tool
load cell.
 Obtained values should be within a 10% of error.
 This verification should be performed both at 0 and 90 degrees position.
Important: before performing this verification for the first time after mechanical assembly, it
is important to verify that power head installation has been properly done and that measured
signals are not affected by the power system.
With this aim, once the IWS verification SW indicates that load can be applied, turn the
wheelset several turns (5 turns approx..) by hand.
Record IWS measured forces on the data acquisition equipment. It is important to verify that
signals are smooth along all the angular positions. Otherwise, if peaks are observed, inductive
power head position may not be correct.
For this case, load cell will be connected to the data acquisition system by means of a red coloured DB9
connector. Connector DB9 pinout is defined in the following table:

7 ADITIONAL SENSORS
7.1 Accelerometer MSI‐4610‐030‐060‐D

The Model 4610 is an ultra‐stable MEMS accelerometer ideal for static and dynamic applications. Sensor
specification are described in corresponding datasheet [24].
The accelerometer will be placed in the wheelset. Therefore, relative movements between the bogie and
the axle must be considered when routing the cable. Cable routing must start in the accelerometer side,
so that if there is extra cable, it is collected inside the carbody, next to the DAQ
Accelerometer will be installed with the aim of measuring lateral acceleration.
In order to route the cables from axlebox and bogie correctly, it is recommended to get them to carbody
through the centre of the bogie, as it is the zone where relative movement is minimum.
For the installation, one of the faces of the support JC.A09.09.585 must be glued using the bicomponent
adhesive ”Plexus” to a flat surface of the axlebox, according to the following procedure:
 Pour each component in the same proportion to a disposable surface (e.g. a piece of
paperboard). A plastic gun to distribute both components homogeneously is recommended.
 Mix both components using a disposable stick until the solution gets homogeneous.
 Impregnate the surface of the metallic cube which will contact the train surface.
 Maintain the position of the cube until it dries (10 minutes max). Bear in mind that “Plexus” is a
toxic component, so gloves and mask are compulsory. Consider the final position of the cube
regarding the measuring directions before using “Plexus”.
Caution: “Plexus” is a toxic component, so gloves and mask are compulsory. Consider the final
position of the cube regarding the measuring directions before using “Plexus”.
These cubes are threaded into its side walls. Accelerometers have an arrow drawn in its surface, in order
to know the measuring direction. Lateral accelerometers should point to the lateral (no matter left or
right). For a correct measurement, lateral accelerometers must be perpendicular to the motion direction,
with a maximum error of ±5º. When accelerometers are installed, it is important to release the cable and
leave it a bit loose between the accelerometer and the first cable tie, as the cable can break if it is very
tight.
Data acquisition channels must be configured as shown in Figure 7.1. For each sensor, the corresponding
sensitivity will be setup.
Wire reference used for this sensor is CMC.2928024 [28].

7.2 Gyroscope CORISENS 24V12

The Model 4610 is allows curve detection by analysing the angular rate with electronics conform to
railway standards. Sensor specification are described in corresponding datasheet [25].
The gyroscope must be placed on the floor, at a flat and stable surface. It should be located in a position
that does not disturb normal walking areas.
Figure 7.2 Gyroscope attached to surface using double‐sided tape
Once the gyroscope is placed in the final position, it must be strongly attached to the surface so that it
does not move and disturb the signal. For this purpose, it is recommended to use double‐sided tape.
Additionally, tape can also be added to ensure a strong attachment.
The gyroscope must be externally supplied using a normal socket (220V 50Hz or 110V 60Hz). Switch to
“on” to switch on the gyroscope.
The signal is sent to the DAQ using a BNC cable. The connection of the BNC cable to the gyroscope can be
seen in Figure 7.2.
Data acquisition channels must be configured as shown in Figure 7.3. For each sensor, the corresponding
sensitivity will be setup.

9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once measurement chain installation has been performed according to guidelines shown in this
document, system will be prepared to measure.
9.1 Telemetry configuration

In order to verify Telemetry configuration and perform Wheatstone bridge compensation, USB‐DB9 and
MTP‐NT‐CNTR wire must be connected to configuration connector defined in Figure 5.15.
For this purpose, ntconfig application must be installed. SW can be downloaded from the following link:
https://www.kmt‐telemetry.com/support/mtp‐nt/
Configuration software instructions are described in MTP‐NT Software User Manual [17].
Important: Configuration operations shall not be performed without express consent of

CETEST. Otherwise, it will be considered as a misused action.
Important: No operation a part of performing auto‐zero will be required. If any other

operation is needed. Contact CETEST.
9.2 SW operation
Before using the application, the following software must be installed:
 LabVIEW Runtime Engine 2016.
 SilverLight 5.
In the following sections, the SW operation is explained.
9.2.1 Welcome page & main menu

Once the DPM is powered on, type the following address in Internet Explorer browser:
http://192.168.0.2XX:8000/IWS_RDSO.html
Figure 9.1. Main menu.
From this view, the user will be able to navigate over the two application pages, “Monitoring” and
“Settings”. Details about the content of these screens can be found below.
9.2.2 Monitoring
This screen is divided in three main zones:
 Graphs with the real time values of the forces computed by the system.
 System status and vehicle speed
 Datalogging
The following picture shows the monitoring page when system optimal behaviour is taking place.
Figure 9.2. Monitoring.
“Status” description:
 Axle Home Done: In case the encoder home has been found the led indicator will light. It will be
necessary to complete at least one turn to find the axle angular reference.
 Init min. Speed: Minimum speed necessary to carry out the initialization process.
 Initialized: When the initialization process is completed this led indicator will light.
 Output Active: If the initialization process is completed and no errors are present in the system,
the real time computation process will be activated and the forces will be shown in the graphs.
Also, they will be send to the analog outputs. Analog outputs have a voltage range of +/‐10V, the
signal values of analog outputs will be scaled by the scale factor (25).
“Datalogging” details:
In order to activate the datalogging, click on the "Record" button. If you have not inserted an external
storage device previously, a message indicating this circumstance will be displayed. If a USB device was
already inserted, the available memory will be displayed. A device with a minimum of available memory
is required (500 MB).
When datalogging starts, the name of the created file will be shown, and the indicator will light. The data
is saved in "TDMS" format, which is an optimized format created by National Instruments for
measurement data. Data can be opened with National Instruments software (LabVIEW, DIAdem, etc.).
However, also it is possible to import the data to other software such as Excel
(http://www.ni.com/example/27944/en/) or Matlab (http://www.ni.com/example/30957/en/).
In order to stop the datalogging, press the “Stop” button.
It is very important stop any recording process before extract the external storage device.
Press the “Home” icon to return to the “Main Menu”.
Save Status Log to USB
This option saves into an USB storage device the status log of the system. If any malfunction is detected,
send the status log to the technical support.
9.2.3 IWS Verification

This section describes the steps to be followed during IWS verification process described in section 6.
Important: If any mistake is done during process, it must be restarted from the beginning.
Figure 9.3. IWS Verification Step 1.
Figure 9.4. IWS Verification Step 2
Figure 9.5. IWS Verification Step 3.
9.2.4 System settings

Each DPM counts with eight Analog Outputs (BNC connector), which are used to send the force data from
the DPM to the DAQ via BNC‐DB9 cables.
In this System settings window, the user can select different force signals for each Analog Output. At least
the four force signals (R1_Y, R1_Q, R2_Y and R2_Q) that the IWS calculates must be selected in order to
ensure the correct functioning of the system.
Cetest recommends the following configuration:
 AO_01: R1_Y  AO_05: R2_Y
 AO_02: R1_Q  AO_06: R2_Q
 AO_03: R1_Y  AO_07: R2_Y
 AO_04: R1_Q  AO_08: R2_Q
Figure 9.6 System settings
In this way, if any Analog Output fails, the same force signal option will be available to be used instantly
in another Analog Output BNC connector.
Important: The force order must match with the force‐channel order in the DAQ channel
configuration.
9.2.5 Settings manager

In order to update DPM configuration in different DPM’s, the following procedure should be followed:
1. If a new configuration wants to be uploaded from a USB, select a file name from the file list and
press “To Target >>” button. The file will be copied to the DPM internal memory and will appear
in the right side file list.
2. Select, from the right menu, the file that wants to be loaded in the DPM, and press load. The
following popup will appear. Press ok to reboot.
3. Wait until DPM is reboot.
4. Enter again in settings manager and check that the desired file has been properly loaded.
Figure 9.7. Settings manager step 1.
9.2.6 Set up date and time

In order to set up date and time, it is necessary to have Microsoft Explorer and Silverlight installed. In
order to accomplish this task, navigate to the following URL:
http://<IPaddress>
Once they are installed, go to the calendar symbol and set the date and time:
Figure 9.11. Date and time configuration.
9.2.7 TDMS to CSV converter
In order to ease DPM data handling, CETEST provides a SW tool that can convert data stored on the DPM
in CSV format. SW is called “TDMS to CSV Converter”. It is only required to select a DPM file and press
start button. Before running this SW, LabVIEW 2016 runtime must be installed.
Figure 9.12. TDMS to CSV converter
9.3 Measurement quality assurance

In order to verify that system is working properly, and that data acquisition system has been properly
configured, a measurement quality assurance must be performed.
The following checks will be performed (while running) in order to assure that IWS is measuring properly:
 Vertical loads measured at each IWS, calculated as the sum of vertical loads measured at each
wheel, must remain constant while running.
 The sum of lateral loads of all wheels of both IWS’s installed on the bogie frame must be equal
to the uncompensated lateral acceleration multiplied by the mass.

10 MAINTENANCE
In order to perform a good maintenance, it is important to follow instructions described in section 7 in

terms of storage and operating conditions.
Keep equipment clean and safe from hazardous conditions.
10.1 Handling conditions
For the wheelsets handling 2 slings are needed, one for each axle end.
Slings for every IWS set must be installed as shown in Figures bellow. Otherwise, instrumentation could
be damaged.
Table 10‐1 shows the handling configuration to be followed for each IWS.

Important: use slings of the same length in order to perform a safe handling. Slings must be in
good condition.
Important: Assure that slings do not contact with instrumentation (coil rings, strain gauges
areas, etc…)
10.2 Storing conditions
While not installed on the vehicle, wheelsets shall be kept inside the wooden crates and stored on an
indoor location.
The rest of the components associated with IWS’s system, should be kept in their corresponding rugged
cases. Supplied materials are listed in part lists documents [19] and [20]
10.3 IWS recalibration

Instrumented Wheelsets, as complex and critical sensors which are exposed to hazard conditions, could
need a periodic recalibration depending on their use. CETEST recommends recalibration every 2 years or
20.000 km, to assure the accuracy values previously defined.
10.4 Mechanical inspection

Before every test campaign, it is important to check that the screws and the mechanical accessories are
correctly tightened.
10.5 Recommended spare part list

Spare parts will be stored either by CETEST representatives or by customer. This division will depend on
the nature of the issue to be solved and the nature of the corrective operation. Spare parts supplied to
RDSO can be consulted in the spare part list document [21].
