1 INTRODUCTION
Axle Mounted Disc Brake System is used in LHB Coaches of passenger trains equipped with
FIAT Bogies.
Working Principle: When the Brake is applied, the Brake Pipe pressure is reduced and the
controlled Brake Cylinder pressure from the Brake system reaches Bogie Brake Calipers which
clamp the Brake Discs mounted on the Axle leading to Braking of the train. The brake system
is also equipped with Wheel Slide Protection (WSP) system to continuously monitor the wheel
to track contact conditions and prevent Wheel skidding while braking.
2 BRAKE PANEL
The Panel contains the items as shown on the Figure 1. Incorporation of these within a panel
gives a tidier appearance and also allows vulnerable items to be easily protected against
damage from stones and other flying debris.
Caution!
The person has to wear helmet, hand gloves and safety shoes.
Cut off the pressurized pneumatic pipe connection during pipe installation.
Warning!
A UIC approved KE Distributor Valve is used, which varies the Brake Cylinder pressure in response
to change in Air Brake Pipe pressure. The KE Distributor Valve are the most widely used DV in UIC
countries around globe and their population around the world over 1 million. This range of DV
complies with all UIC requirements.
The basic DV of ESCORTS design has some excellent features like.
1. Max. Pressure limiter, resulting in limiting of max. BC pressure to require value irrespective of
BP pressure.
2. Material is Aluminium casting hence light weight and negligible scrap value and not being
prone to pilferage. This improves the reliability of the brake system.
3. The Relay Valve is universal type which can fill any size of Brake Cylinder irrespective of
application and release times.
A 6 ltrs. Control Reservoir is fitted to the Brake Panel for the use of the Distributor Valve.
The Isolating Cock enables the Auxiliary Reservoir to be isolated from the feed pipe.
The Check Valve is a non-return valve which prevents the loss of air from the Reservoirs in case of
leakage or pressure drop in the Feed pipe.
Check connection with Dummy Plugs on chains are provided for monitoring the following:
1. Control Reservoir pressure.
2. Auxiliary Reservoir pressure.
3. Brake Cylinder pressure.
The Auxiliary Reservoir of capacity 125 & 75 ltrs. are charged from the Feed Pipe at the rate of 6
kg/cm2 and also from the Brake Pipe through the DV at the rate of 5 kg/cm2. a manual Drain-Cock
is provided to each Auxiliary Reservoir to allow the condensate to be drained from the Reservoir.
The BP and FP hose couplings are fitted on either end of the coach.
Angle Cocks are fitted at either end of both the Air Brake Pipe and Feed Pipe and are used during
coupling or uncoupling of coaches. When open they provide an unobstructed flow of air; when
closed the air pipe is isolated and any pressure in the Air Brake Hose is vented to atmosphere.
There is one Passenger Emergency Alarm Signal device situated on the end well of the coach and
these allow a passenger to stop the Train with max. braking power in case of emergency. The
Passenger Emergency Valve is connected to an Emergency Brake Valve which opens the Brake Pipes
to atmosphere.
Emergency Brake Accelerator (EBA) is a device, which decreases the Brake application time on the
bogies, in order to stop trains safely within minimum stopping distance.
Emergency Brake Accelerator is mounted on the Brake Pipe as shown in schematic (Refer Fig 9).
When a fast pressure reduction of the BP line pressure takes place, which is equal to an Emergency
Brake Application, the Emergency Brake Accelerator supports this pressure reduction and vents the
Brake Pipe pressure (air) via a large orifice O (Refer Fig 10). If Pressure reduction in BP line is not up
to emergency level (e.g. service brake application), EBA will not actuate. The Emergency Brake
Accelerator will stop to vent the brake pipe between 2.5 kg/cm2 to 1.5 kg/cm2 of Brake pipe line
pressure.
2.10.1 SCHEMATIC
Fig.9 represents the Schematic layout of the braking system of a coach (motor coach as well as AC
coach); EBA is mounted on BP line as shown in series.
Diaphragm sealed on top of the base body, if pressure difference takes place in
between two sections, this assembly provides a linear motion accordingly.
2.10.2.5 MOUNTING BRACKET
Mounting Bracket is used for mounting EBA Valve at the prescribed position on the
frame. It consists of Main Exhaust Port, which exhaust the air vertically downward.
2.10.2.6 RAPID VENTING VALVE
Rapid Venting Valve is used for venting the air trapped in Control Chamber 2 after
Emergency Brake Application.
2.10.2.7 CONTROL CHAMBER 1
The Control Chamber 1 of Emergency Brake Accelerator (EBA) is connected with
Brake Pressure line (BP) normally at pressure of 5 Kg/cm2.
2.10.2.8 CONTROL CHAMBER 2
This Control Chamber 2 of Emergency Brake Accelerator (EBA) is on the lower side of
the valve. The pressure of this chamber builds up by BP through the Pilot Valve, and
this pressure is equivalent to pressure in Control Chamber 1. Generally for applying
brakes BP is reduced to a certain rate, simultaneously Chamber 2 gets isolated from
BP Line, and a pressure difference takes place between both chambers.
UIC pattern Twin Brake Indicator are fitted on each side of the Bogie and give indications for the
brakes on each Bogie, when the Brakes are applied red indication is shown and when the Brakes
are released a green indication is shown.
Flexible Hose in the pipe between pneumatic valve and Bogie provide a Flexible Coupling between
the body and the Bogies. Hoses are used to give a flexible connection between the Bogie and the
Brake Actuator.

5 BRAKE CALIPER
This operating instructions contains technical informations about design and function of disc brake
unit DAKO KBZ and then dates needed for proper operation, eventually dates for repairs, including
spare parts and mounting devices.
5.2 DEFINITION
Disc brake unit DAKO KBZ 10 (hereafter brake unit) is an active device of railway brake and serves
for braking of the vehicles with disc brake. Its design is made for easy building in to railway vehicle´s
bogie.
Design specification of disc brake units, its fasteners, the meaning of the numeric code behind the
slash, is obvious from dimensional drawings (Enclosure No. 1).
Brake unit consists of these main parts:
1. Brake Cylinder DAKO BZ 10 with in-built slack adjuster and eventually with hand brake
mechanism; transmission levers;
2. Coupling rod with silent block;
3. Pad Holders with hangings.
5.3 DESCRIPTION
The brake cylinder 1 is fixed in transmission levers 2 and 3. Transmission levers 2 and 3 are
connected with coupling rod 4, which contains the silent-block. The right 5 and left 6 pad holders
are fixed at the ends of transmission levers. Pad holders are closed with simply serviceable closing
device of brake pad.
The brake cylinder 1 of brake unit could be equipped with hand brake mechanism, eventually with
brake signaling device DAKO SB-1, which is used for giving information about brake status "braked -
brake released" to the brake indicators on the vehicle side.
5.4 FUNCTION
acting. This movement is transmitted onto transmission levers 2 and 3 and also onto pad holders
with brake pad 5 and 6, which are adjacent to brake disc.
Example: In case of disc brake with leverage transmission i = 1,464, the clearance 3,5
mm between the disc and brake pad is determined. The total leverage elasticity is 2
mm. The working stroke size is equal to: 1,464 x (2 x 3,5) + 2 = 12 mm.
Disc brake units are used to build up into the pneumatic part of the railway car brake. In the course
of the operation they must not be exposed to a shocks, excessive contamination and viscous
impurities.
Disc brake units have to be properly fastened; the connecting pipe must not vibrate during the
operation. Connecting pipes have to prevent to penetration of any impurities.
5.5.1 BASIC TECHNICAL DATA
The technical data of each type and design of the brake disc brake units are given in the
dimensional drawings (Annex 1 to this ZB).
Figure 29 – Flex Ball Cable Long (3EB 8066) & Flex Ball Cable Short (3EB 8065)
5.7 MOUNTING
The spindle of brake cylinder DAKO B is screwed as deep into brake cylinder as possible. Disc
brake unit is fixed into the bogie or railway car with pad holder hangings and coupling rod. The
brake units are fitted with the respective pins and housing for this purpose. In the fastened
position, the pins are secured with split pins. Check the possibility of free operation of the lever
subsystem in the respective levels of free movement. It is necessary to observe the braking roller
location to ensure the roller ventilation at the lowest location. This condition is fulfilled with the
selected brake unit version (Annex 1 of this ZB).
The brake cylinder DAKO B, eventually also brake signaling device DAKO SB-1, is connected by the
respected pressure hoses to the brake system. If the brake unit is equipped with hand brake
mechanism, the cable hose is fixed by means of the pin to the hand brake lever and the end of
bowden by means of screws to the support on the brake cylinder.
After the assembly completion, a measuring gauge with the defined thickness is placed between
the brake disk and the brake lining, and the roller spindle is unscrewed in such way the measuring
gauge closes lightly.
The measuring gauge is removed and the spindle turns back so, that the arresting pawl on the
brake cylinder eye is locked. The measuring gauge thickness at disc brake unit must be suitable to
observe the recommended tolerance between the brake plate and the brake disc. Recommended
clearance is given on dimensional drawings (Annex 1 of this ZB).
By the nut 24, only set the clearance between all parts and secure with split pin 29.
Slide and active areas are lubricated with lubricant RENOLIT HLT2 massively.
During the assembly, it is necessary to keep individual positions of brake unit arrangement
including right position of brake cylinder, hand brake mechanism and brake signaling device. All
these mounting positions must comply with an ordering code on the label.
5.8 TESTING
5.9 DISMOUNTING
Dismounting is done by conventional tools after all the connection points of the brake unit are
vented. The removing of brake unit out of the car is made in opposite process than the assembly.
The braking unit inputs are covered to prevent the risk of impurities.
In case of failure or no later than after 6 years of operation the disc brake unit is dismantled and
sent to the specialized workplace where the repair is carried out according to prescribed
technological process.
In the course of operation, it is necessary to renew the lubrication on the sliding areas of the pins
and the bushes every half-year. The wear of bushes and pins decreases in such way and the origin
of corrosion of working areas is forestalled. The long-term service life of mentioned parts rises
and the time difficulty of the repair after 6 year decreases.
In case of excessive operational pollution, the producer recommends to deprive the brake unit of
outer impurities and renew the lubrication on the sliding areas of the pins and the bushes during
regular checking inspections.
Parts are repaired, when the wear is so large, that operation till further inspection cannot be
assured (paragraph 9.3). The producer recommends to renew the painting of parts with painting
according to approved painting procedure during this repair. It is necessary to renew the
anticorrosive protection on the pins, connecting material and other parts, which are zinc-coated,
again. The long-term service life of mentioned parts increases in such way. The above mentioned
recommendations are based on producer’s knowledge concerning to long-term monitoring of
wear of brake unit parts. The result of this matter is that wear of parts´ working areas is minimal,
the majority of parts can be used during several inspection periods, but it is necessary to forestall
the origin of deep corrosion.
New spare parts are not included. Replacement parts are purchased by the customer in the form of
a separate purchase contract and ordered by the list of spare parts (Annex 3 of this instruction).
The manufacturer is obliged to supply spare parts for at least 10 years from the expiry of the
warranty period to the latest brake units delivered to the customer. For the supply of spare parts,
these ZB apply to a reasonable extent.
The spare parts order has to contain:
1. Part name;
2. Drawing No.;
3. Quantity.
5.12 REPAIRS
Repairs of brake units are performed by the manufacturer or contracted repairer, which must be
user-certified and have repair permissions. Both the manufacturer and the repairer must make
repairs in accordance with this ZB and the applicable technical documentation when repairs are
carried out.
For repairs only spare parts supplied by DAKO-CZ, as. can be used.
A repair label is provided on the repaired brake unit. It must include the following
data:
1. The authorized repairer code; Date of repair;
2. Serial number of the repair;
3. Eventually other data.
4. Warning: original label from the manufacturer is left on the unit, its data does not change.

6.1 GENERAL
This operational instruction contains technical information about a design layout and the function
of the electronic antiskid device DAKO PE94.2-MSV (below antiskid device only) and data needed
for its assembly, proper operation, identification of possible failures and troubleshooting.
6.2 DESIGN
The control unit compares speeds of rotation of all axles during run of a railway car, evaluates
the axle with the highest rotations and on the base of this data calculates the real speed of the
car. In the course of braking the control unit also evaluates instantaneous speed values of
single axle’s rotation and their time change, especially quick speed decreases. From acquired
data the control unit determines a wheelset where a skid arises.
If the skid of the axle(s) is found the control unit decreases a brake force acting for the axle for
a short time so that it regulates by means of valves air pressure in brake cylinders to prevent a
block of the wheelset and set an effective skid for achieving of the minimum braking distance
at minimum air consumption. The antiskid device prevents a wheel shape against flats at an
axle block and optimizes a car braking effect at degraded adhesion conditions.
The program of the control unit recognizes an arising axle skid and in the appropriate time
closes, by means of the closing valve, air entry from the distributor to the brake cylinder and
starts a pulse air venting from the brake cylinder through the valve till the time when a

decrease of axle rotations stops. Then the closing valve is pulsely opened and air is refilled to
the brake cylinder to receive a pressure when the monitored axle rotates slowly then the
wheelset with the highest rotations. A combination of impulses of the closing valve and the
discharging valve sets the pressure which ensures braking on the limit of adhesion.
At the moment when all axles are in the skid the control unit compares speeds of all wheelsets
with a speed of the fictive (reference) wheelset. The rotation speed of the fictive wheelset is
created as the envelope from maximum speeds of all monitored wheelsets before a rise of
skid. Decrease of this fictive speed is programmed to the maximum car deceleration at braking
on a dry rail under ideal adhesion conditions.
It can be occurred at braking on the limit of adhesion:
Minimum extension of braking distance.
Minimum level of wheelset damage.
Minimum level of track damage.
Minimum increase of air consumption at pneumatic brake system.
The control unit carries out a regulating interference every 10 ms, values of real
speeds and axle accelerations are updated after 500 μs.
6.3.1 CONTROL UNIT
The WSP control unit is fully modular and consists of a number of plug-in units according to
specific variants. Detailed description of each module is given in sections below.
In the module input, a diode in the forward direction is connected to protect the
module against a possible reversal of the supply voltage. Next, the module is
equipped with capacitor input filter, protection devices to eliminate voltage peaks on
the supply voltage and the softstart circuit to prevent current peaks when the power
is switches on.
the other devices (that already contains the load resistance) or the external load
resistance is used.
3. JFP01C - for active Techo-generators DAKO with the sensor Lenord & Bauer series
GEL2475 without advanced diagnostics (e.g. GEL2475Y069 S06), the electronics of the
sensor and its output is not diagnosed when the vehicle is in standstill and does not
generate the pulses.
4. JFP01D - for active Techo-generators DAKO with sensors Lenord & Bauer series GEL2475
with advanced diagnostics (e.g. GEL2475Y099 S039), the electronics of the sensor and its
output is comprehensively diagnosed, even when the vehicle is in standstill and does not
generate the pulses (at f
Galvanic isolation of frequency inputs allows to connect the WSP unit PE 94.2 MSV to
the Techo-generator in parallel with other devices. The parallel operation with
another device must be consulted with WSP manufacturer.
For passive Techo-generators, it is possible to evaluate the integrity of the
measurement circuit, i.e. short circuit / interruption of sensor itself or its wiring, and
perform this basic diagnostics also at stationary vehicle. LED "> | x " indicates a
passive sensor (wiring) short circuit, LED" < x” on the other hand, indicates the
interruption. The status of these LEDs is updated by automatic test (after WSP start) /
user test (at the request of the operator by button) of the WSP. During the
movement of the vehicle, the LED " x" must be flashing according to the speed -
speed pulses are generated by the sensor and they are received and processed by the
module JFP.
For active Techo-generators without advanced diagnostics, the sensor itself (or
wiring) is diagnosed on the basis of its current consumption, which must be in
defined limits. Measurement and evaluation of current consumption runs
continuously. LED "> | x" indicates the short circuit of active sensor (wiring), LED "> |
x " on the other hand, indicates the interruption. When the vehicle is at standstill, it is
not possible to diagnose the functionality of the sensor itself and its wiring as well as
the speed signal. During the movement of the vehicle, the LED " x" must be flashing
according to the speed - speed pulses are generated by the sensor and they are
received and processed by the module JFP.
Active Techo-generators with advanced diagnostics allow, unlike the previous type,
totally complete diagnostics of their correct function even when the vehicle is
stationary. When the vehicle is stationary (input frequency <1 Hz), these sensors put
on their output constant voltage signal equal to half of supply voltage (½Un). This
signal indicates the correct power supplying of the sensor, correct function of the
measuring electronics and the integrity of its output path and speed signal. The LED
"> | x" indicates the exceeding of the upper limit of the size of the diagnostic signal,
the LED "< | x’, indicates the underrun of the lower limit. During the movement of
the vehicle, the LED " x" must be flashing according to the speed - speed pulses are
generated by the sensor and they are received and processed by the module JFP.
In the static memory SRAM, only the records of control unit failures and peripheral
units (Techo-generators, valves) failures are stored. At each power-on, the program
checks the integrity of the archived data.
The archived failure records serve for immediate diagnostics of the control unit. The
serviceman can upload the archived failure records to a connected PC, and evaluate
them.
In the backed-up SRAM, there are no system data or constants. The control unit can
work without functional limitations even with faulty lithium battery. If the defective
battery is not replaced with a new one, no failure records can be stored into SRAM.
There is a secondary Watchdog circuit on the module, it monitors the activities of the
program and in the case of incorrect function, it disconnects the electromagnetic
valves from the control unit output.
The connectors of communication lines are placed on the front of the unit. The X1
connector is used for USB connection to PC and serves for application software
downloading or for unit diagnostics. Connectors X2, X3 are used for connecting of
through-going communication lines CAN0 and CAN1, and connector X4 is used for
connecting of CAN2 communication line. All lines CAN0 - CAN2 can be used for
connecting the unit to control system of the vehicle and operational diagnostics of
WSP system. Conventional means of CAN bus as well as a protocol at the application
layer can open can be used.
DVR - Door locking - the output contact is closed at speeds greater than 5 km/h.
Upon customer request, the speed value can be changed, as well as the logic of
switching (at higher speed the contact is open).
MGB - Magnetic brake switching - the output contact is closed at speeds greater
than 45 km/h. Upon customer request, the speed value can be changed.
DPB - Switching of supplementary brake - the output signal for blocking of vehicle
dynamic brake (EDB_OFF) during long-lasting slip and requesting air brake only.
The module is also equipped with 3 binary, galvanically separated inputs for
enhanced control of the unit. The functions of particular inputs must be specified by
the customer when filling up the application questionnaire for individual projects.
Parameters of the inputs are as follows:
1. Supply voltage: 16.8 ÷ 150 V DC
2. Continuous current: 3.5 ÷ 5.1 mA (depending on the supply voltage, a contact burn
function - for relays)
The power outputs that control the valves are realized by CMOS switches, that are
equipped with their own protection circuits against overcurrent, short circuit and
high temperature. Faulty state is indicated by the output switch and is reported to
diagnostic system of the control unit.
The diagnostic system of output switches detects these states:
1. The valve is OK. The valve is interrupted.
2. The valve is short-circuited.
3. The output switch is continuously in conducting state.
The safety disconnecting relay is connected in the output circuit of each CMOS power
switch, this relay is controlled by microprocessor and gate array.
The control unit contains two Watchdog circuits, which by independent means
monitor the activities of microprocessor and control program. At any incorrect
activity of microprocessor system software, the controller is placed into a safe state.
The safety function is also applied on the length of the output pulses to cut-off and
exhaust valves. When exceeding the allowed time, power outputs are disconnected
and the valves are set to the basic = safe state. Then, the air pressure in appropriate
brake cylinder is not controlled by WSP control unit, and its value depends on the
activity of brake distributor only.
For improving the security of the control unit, the power switch of the exhaust valve
is supplied from the output to the coil of the cut-off valve of the same three-state
valve. This connection of circuits ensures that exhaust valve can be opened if and
only if the cut-off valve is powered and thus closed. In case of a puncture
(breakdown) of CMOS switch of exhaust valve and the valve was permanently
opened, the safety function ensures the disconnection of the valve (both cut-off and
exhaust valve coils). This makes that both coils of tri-state valve will not be energized,
i.e. cut-off valve will be opened and exhaust valve will be closed. The axle will be
braked without a risk of loss of the air from the brake cylinder.
Each power switch channel is equipped with timer circuit (CMO) and disconnecting
relay. CMO checks the length of the active pulses for cut-off and exhaust valves.
Should the maximum allowable length of the pulse is exceeded, the output of the
CMO ensures the switching off of the disconnecting relay, the contacts of which are
connected in series with the output of each power switch. By this, a three-state valve
is set to idle (basic) state.
Safety disconnecting relay ensures the disconnection of both channels of the power
switch for particular valve in case of valve's fail (short circuit, disconnection) or failure
of the corresponding Techo-generator, while other functional outputs are still
working. This ensures the protection against long-term effect of the control unit that
may cause the decreasing of the braking effect.
On the front panel of the module, there are individual LEDs "ZA" and "VY" that
signalize activity of each valve and LED "ERR" indicating the interruption of the tube
fuse of the respective valve. The replacement of this fuse must be made by an
educated worker, the fuse must be replaced only by the tube fuse of the same type
and the same value.
Nozzles regulating filling and discharging times of the brake cylinder are screwed in the valve
bracket. Diameters of nozzles are stated by a producer according to a type of a car.
6.4 ASSEMBLY
Figure 43: basic image of standard and recommended mounting on the vehicle
The mounting of the control unit to a vehicle is done using screws M6 through fixtures on the
front side of the control unit rack. Mounting holes and other necessary dimensions for fitting of
the control unit are shown in the drawing 2013.1.ABS.9.002.00 / A.
Control unit is connected to an electric network of the vehicle by connectors HARTING No. 09 06
248 3201, with female contacts for conductor cross-section 0.5 mm2 - 1.5 mm2 HARTING No. 09
06000 8482. The wires are connected to the contacts by crimping (for crimping, it is
recommended to use crimping pliers HARTING No. 09 99 000 0620). The connecting of the supply
voltage to the control unit PE 94.2 MSV is realized by Hirschmann connector GSN 20 (932 421-
100). The counterpart (opposite) connectors that are mounted to the vehicle cables are delivered
as part of the WSP set.
Recommended wiring diagram of the control unit PE 94.2 MSV is placed in the relevant circuit
diagram, in which the individual wires connections are evident.
The valve bracket is fastened to the bogie frame, eventually to a suitable holder. The pipeline of
corresponding diameter from the distributor and the brake cylinder (brake cylinders) of the
corresponding wheelset is fastened to the valve bracket. The valve is fastened by means of two
screws M8 on the bracket. Its right position is ensured with a pin, which is pressed into the
bracket, and the hole in the valve body. Rubber sealing rings must be put in circular grooves
round the inlet and outlet holes at mounting of the valve on the bracket. The valve is connected
with a car wiring by means of the connector.
Tubes of the connector are pressed to stripped cable core ends by means of the pliers prescribed
by the producer of the connector Raychem. Tubes are put into the connector body by means of
the relevant pliers. The connector is assembled and the heat shrinkable terminal is put on it. The
heat shrinkable terminal is heated with a heat gun to be a waterproof closure of a passing of the
cable to the connector.
Warning! After putting of the connector’s plug into the valve’s socket the nut must be turned to
the right so long as its bayonet cap clicks.
When the supply voltage is connected, the WSP program starts. It reports its version number, the
type of the vehicle and displays the wheel diameter and number of teeth of speed sensors (which
values are set). The data are displayed on the OLED display located on the front of the control
unit.
At the start-up, when the vehicle is at standstill, the control program automatically tests the
status of all its modules, solenoid valves and speed sensors and the test result is stored in non-
volatile memory SRAM and displayed on the control unit.
During movement, the vehicle speed in km/h and acceleration in m/s2 is displayed - see the figure
below.
Notification!
In user software, the required vehicle parameters are defined, such
as its medium wheel diameter, the number of pulses per one
wheelset revolution and others. The WSP controller is started by
filling the main brake pipe to a pressure higher than 2,5 bar or by
pressing the "TEST" button at the front panel of the control unit. For
the functional test it is recommended to set the vehicle to service
brake mode (to brake the vehicle by train brake), then the test can be
monitored by hearing the correct operation of the exhaust valves.
Detailed description is given in separate document.
The values of the individual bits are shown as asterisks (active high) or space (inactive
level) and for easy orientation they are described as follows:
The valves are marked by letters C, E (C = cut-off valve, E = exhaust valve), followed
by two fours of digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 1, 2, 3, 4.
To set the date and time in the submenu "REAL TIME CLOCK", press "►" button and
using "▼" and "▲" buttons, choose the data you want to adjust. By pressing "►"
button, the adjusted data is increased (when overflow, 0 (e.g. hour or minute) or 1
(e.g. day or month) is set, with no carry to higher order). The exception is flashing
value of seconds, after pressing the "►" button, the time is rounded to the nearest
whole minute (00 - 29 is rounded down, 30 to 59 is rounded up), including a possible
carry to higher orders (09:59:35 → 10:00:00).
6.5.3.5 EXTERNAL RAM
This submenu "External RAM" is used to display the content of external RAM and is
used exclusively for service purposes in diagnosing and analyzing of possible
improper behaviour of the WSP control unit.
If a malfunction is detected, it is indicated on the display as a numerical code, these codes are
described in detail in following tables Tab. 1 and Tab. 2. If there are more active failures, they are
displayed sequentially. If there are more than 8 failures, then they are scrolled.
Firstly, the three-state valves are checked. They are tested for:
1. Short circuit and interruption of the coil of the valve,
2. Disruption (breakthrough) of output CMOS switches.
Next, the data about long-lasting slip (SL x) of each axle, failure records of particular Techo-
generators (TG x) and particular three-state valves (CU x, EX x) are displayed. If the Techo-
generator or the valve is completely OK (there is no failure record in memory), "** OK **" is
displayed, otherwise, the failure name is displayed by its letter abbreviation (SL x TG x CU x, EX x)
and the number of occurrences of this failure and also time stamps of the first and last
occurrences are displayed.
The data appear on the display for two seconds each, excluding the "** OK **" symbol, which
stays only for one second. The records are shown in the following order:
1. SL 1 → SL 2 → SL 3 → SL 4 →
2. TG 1 → TG 2 → TG 3 → TG 4 →
3. CU 1 → EX 1 →
4. CU 2 → EX 2 →

The record of long-lasting slip, when the exhaust valve is open for longer than 2
seconds or cut-off valve is closed for more than 5 seconds, and thus there is a risk of
protective timing circuit intervention. After this time has elapsed, the signal for
shutdown of the dynamic brake is activated, and it lasts until the respective valve is
deactivated. The long-lasting slip usually arises when the wheels are braked also by
other braking force, when the wheels do not rotate due to wedge of dirt that is
pushed in front of them on the top of the rail, or when there is an insufficient
exhausting of the brake cylinder even at permanently opened exhaust valve.

The connection of PC with WSP control unit is possible using standard USB cable (2.0, Type A / B),
with maximum length of 1, 8 m (practically verified). When using longer cables (like USB printer
ones etc.), there is a risk of unstable and interrupted communication between PC and WSP.
It is also possible to transfer the content of SRAM memory to a personal computer (e.g. laptop).
The records may be received using a standard terminal program (such as HyperTerminal, which is
an optional part of MS Windows XP), and saved to a file.
be installed prior to first communication with WSP control unit. After successful
communication is established, the process of failure records uploading using the
following commands can start.
6.5.10.2 LIST OF COMMANDS
All operating data, including failure records, can be uploaded from WSP control unit
and displayed on the personal computer screen. The upload is controlled by typing
the defined commands on PC keyboard. The particular logs are then responded to
the operator's command.
The list of commands is as follows:
1. "H" - the failure history. This command will start transmitting of Failure History.
The condition is the vehicle in standstill and history queue initialization is
complete. After a complete history record is transmitted, the transmission is
terminated automatically.
2. "P" - the failure counters. This command will start transmitting of Failure
Counter. The condition is the vehicle in standstill. After a complete record is
transmitted, the transmission is terminated automatically. The record contains
the total passed distance, validity stamp (data are valid since - to) and possibly all
detected failures.
6.5.10.3 THE FAILURE COUNTERS
The failure counter is listed by typing "P", as stated in previous section. The structure
of this list is visible at the figure in next section.
The first item of the list is the total distance travelled by the vehicle. Next, particular
failure and diagnostic data of the WSP follow. These are introduced by validity stamp
"Data valid fm / to ".
This time interval reflects the start and end time point (in the format day / month /
time) in which the individual records have been correctly stored in memory and that
they are compact (not damaged).
Subsequently, all particular records are provided with the number of occurrences in
given time interval (to the right of the record name) and with the time stamp of its
first and last occurrences. Maximum counter value for each particular failure is 9999
(subsequently, the oldest records are overwritten by the newest ones).
The "Reg axle x" record represents regulatory intervention of the WSP, which is
connected with slip detection and its compensation.
The "SLx long" record is related to detection of long-lasting slips that have not been
successfully compensated by WSP in given time interval and that might cause e.g. the
extending of the stopping distance. This phenomenon can occur for example when
using dynamic brake, when WSP is not able to control the pressure in the brake
cylinder to regulate the braking effect (no pneumatic braking is activated).
The "TGX no signal" record indicates the failure of the Techo-generator, which does
not generate the speed signal even after exceeding the defined speed (20 or 50 km/h
respectivelly). Following Techo-generator failures "TGX short" and "TGX broken" are
related only to passive Techo-generators and to active ones with speed sensor
without advanced diagnostics. If using active speed sensors with advanced
diagnostics, these failures are associated with size of the diagnostic signal below /
above the tolerance.
The remaining records are related to cut-off and exhaust valves. The records "CUX
short" and "EXx short" indicate short circuit in the corresponding valve circuit, the
records "CUX broken" and "EXx broken" indicate interrupted (open, broken) coil or
circuit (wires) and the last "CUX switch" and " EXx switch " indicate disruption of
CMOS switches for controlling of the valves.
6.6 MAINTENANCE
The following part of the text deals with maintenance of DAKO PE94.2-MSV antiskid device. Each
part of this antiskid device requires different maintenance which is described in the text bellow.
6.6.1 CONTROL UNIT
The control unit does not need any maintenance during operation. In regular maintenance
intervals prescribed for the vehicle it is necessary to clean the unit and to check the connections.
After ten years of operation, it is necessary to replace the lithium battery for SRAM back-up. This
shall be done at the professional workplace in compliance with the principles of ESD. Also after
ten years of operation, the application software of the control unit shall be restored.
(WSP 8 h daily in operation, the remaining 16 h in the off state = running from battery)
The troubleshooting described in this section is intended for localization of the faulty module. The
correction is done by the replacement of the module. The repairs of faulty modules are provided by
the manufacturer of the device.
6.7.1 FAILURES OF THE POWER SUPPLYING
PROBLEM: The control unit does not start its operation after main brake pipe is
supplied with pressured air. POSSIBLE CAUSES:
1. Faulty pressure switch.
2. Faulty circuit breaker (fuse).
3. Defective control unit itself.
4. Faulty wiring to Techo-generators.
5. Faulty wiring of the control unit itself.
2. The control unit also checks for short-circuit and break (interruption) of the
coil of the valve or of wiring and for disruption of the transistor switch. The
short-circuit is indicated if the valve coil current exceeds value of 5 A.
(Nominal current of the valve coil is max. 700 mA).
3. An interruption is detected when the current of switched-on valve coil is less
than 20 mA. Switch disruption is evaluated when the switch is switched off
and behind this switch, the voltage higher than 5 V is detected.
4. Numeric error codes are listed in respective chapter. When troubleshooting
'short circuit' or 'interruption' of the valve coil or cabling, please use the
conventional procedures.
Caution!
User test program also checks the internal safety disconnectors, which are the
part of the control unit. If this failure is detected, it is necessary to replace the
whole control unit.
Check the correct operation of the valves by listening during the user test
performed at service braked vehicle.
In the first phase, the control unit sequentially activates particular valves in sequence from 1st to
4th axle. For each axle, it closes the cut-off valve and twice shortly activates the exhaust valve.
While listening, there should be a clear sequence in the correct order (from 1st to 4th axle) and
weaker acoustic intensity of second exhausting pulse („TS-ts - TS-ts - TS-ts - TS-ts“). If the order
(sequence) is wrong, it indicates swapping (mismatching) of valves to axles (e.g., valve at axle 1 is
connected to output designed for axle 2). The trinity of exhausting pulses ('TS-TS-TS ") indicates
swapping of cut-off and exhaust valves at given axle. Intensive sound of both exhausting pulses
('TS-TS ") indicates a possible malfunction of cut-off valve.
In the second phase, the timing circuits of safety relay disconnectors are checked. Firstly, these
ones for 1st and 2nd axles are checked, then the ones for 3rd and 4th axles. During the test, the
voltage is applied firstly to both cut-off valve (it closes) and the exhaust valve (it opens). After the
disconnecting test (when the exhausting time is exceeded), only the cut-off valve is powered. The
brake cylinder is one-shot exhausted (emptied) during the test and after the test is finished, it is
filled again. The long lasting air discharging signalizes the failure of the cut-off valve. The check of
each pair of axles takes 16 s.
6.8 TROUBLESHOOTING
The antiskid device DAKO PE94.2-MSV is designed and tested by a number of relevant regulations
and standards but in these challenging conditions may occur rarely possible defects or incorrect
antiskid device function.
6.8.1 CONTROL UNIT

out by the producer only.
Although the antiskid device DAKO PE94.2-MSV is designed and tested by a number of relevant
regulations and standards it is not possible to exceed limit values of each part of this device.
6.9.1.1 LIMIT STATES OF DIAGNOSTIC OF CONTROL UNIT
Disruption (breakthrough) of CMOS switch: The voltage U > 10 V behind the switch at switched-off
state.
Failure of TG1 - TG4: When starting the vehicle, the speed of axle with defective
techo-generator does not reach 10 km/h.

6. Ensure that the air gap between the measuring surface
and the target wheel is within the permissible range
(see table page 122).

Notification!
Please note the minimum bend radius (see Technical data
page 131).
9.4.7 DIRT
The accumulation of ferromagnetic particles between the measuring surface and the teeth of the
measuring scale may mean that the speed sensor cannot clearly read the change from tooth to
gap.
1. Check the speed sensor regularly for dirt, and clean it if necessary (see page
121).
1. Only use connectors with a metal housing or with a housing made from
metallised plastic and shielded cables.
2. Place the shielding on the connector housing if included in the shielding
concept.
3. Spread the shielding wide.
4. Keep all unshielded lines as short as possible.
5. Use large diameter grounding connections (for example, as a low induction
ground strap or ribbon conductor) and keep them short.
6. If there are potential differences between machine and electronic ground
straps, make sure that no equalising currents can flow via the cable shielding.
For this purpose, lay a large diameter voltage equalising cable or use cables
with separate two-ply shielding.
With cables with separate two-ply shielding, spread the shielding on one side only.
1. GEL 2475
2. Evaluation electronics
3. Control lines
The speed sensor is part of a machine or machinery; include the voltage equalisation
for the sensor in the overall shielding concept.
Lay signal and control lines separately from the power cables. If this is not possible,
use pairs of twisted and shielded wires and/or lay the encoder line in an iron pipe.
Make sure that surge protective measures have been carried out externally (EN
61000-4-5).
10 DESCRIPTION
10.1 USE
The speed sensor is intended for measuring the speed of rotary movements without making
contact.
10.2 PARTS
1. Connector Cable
2. Screwed cable gland
3. Flange
4. Sealing ring
5. Measuring surface (here: with protective cap removed)
6. Index pin
7. Visible surface
10.3 FUNCTION
The speed sensor is attached to the corresponding mounting device with the flange (3).
The sealing ring (4) seals the mounting device. The speed sensor is equipped with an index pin (6),
which determines the mounting position of the speed sensor in the mounting device. The flange of
speed sensor is flattened on one side, this so-called visible surface (7) facilitates the determination
of the mounting position.
The integrated electronics are supplied with power by means of the connection cable (1). The
screwed cable gland (2) attaches the connection cable to the speed sensor and seals the speed
sensor.
The sensor system is located behind the measuring surface (5). The permanent magnetic field
integrated in the speed sensor is changed by the rotating target wheel. The sensor system of the
speed sensor records the change in the magnetic field and the integrated electronics transform
these changes to one channel or dual channel squarewave signals. All signals are forwarded to the
separate electronics via the connection cable.
The number of pulses corresponds precisely to the number of teeth on the target wheel.
The types 2475x- and 2475xM provide voltage output signals, type 2475xI provides current output
signals. Type 2475xM also provides a fixed voltage for detecting standstill as soon as the frequency
of the measuring signal drops below 1 Hz.
The power supply for the speed sensor, the evaluation of the pulses and the establishment of the
control circuit requires separate electronics.
11 MOUNTING
The speed sensor is mounted in the following steps, which are described in the next
paragraphs:
1. Checking the mounting device
2. Securing the speed sensor
3. Laying the cables
4. Connecting the speed sensor
5. Checking the function
The speed sensor is equipped with an index pin, which determines the mounting
position of the speed sensor in the mounting device.
All necessary dimensions are shown in the scale and assembly drawing in section
16.2 and 16.3 (page 134 and 135).
Verify that all necessary bores in the mounting device have been carried out in
accordance with the drilling plan (see Assembly drawing page 135).
If mininal phase shift is requested, observe the tolerance instruction for the bore
hole of the index pin indicated in the drilling plan.
For proper sealing of the speed sensor, verify that the wall thickness of the mounting
device is at least 5 mm.

Notification!
Note the minimum bend radius listed in the Technical data (page 131) to avoid
damaging the cable if bent too sharp.
Lay the cable while taking the notes on electromagnetic compatibility
into account (page 117).
12 CONNECTION
The measuring resistor RL to be connected at the current output may not exceed a
particular value. The following relationship exists:
RL,max = (VS – 4 V) / Imax with VS = 10 to 20 VDC and Imax = 16 mA
Example for VS = 15 V: RL,max = 11 V / 16 mA = 690
2. Shared power supply for the speed sensor and the evaluation electronics The signal input is
not galvanically isolated, and the shielding is not attached throughout.
Notification!
If the sensor is to be removed for any reason, i.e. relocation of equipment:
Ensure that the measuring surface does not come in contact with other objects.
Only touch the connector pins and connecting wires when wearing a suitable
grounding device, such as an ESD wristband to avoid damaging the electronic
components due to electrostatic discharge.
If the original protective cap is no longer available, make sure that comparable protection
is provided for the measuring surface.
13.2 DISPOSAL
14 MAINTENANCE
The speed sensor contains no moving parts and is therefore largely maintenance-free.
Notification!
To avoid damaging the speed sensor:
Never use a high-pressure cleaner.
Avoid allowing water, dirt or other substances to enter the open parts when the
connector has been detached.
Clean the speed sensor with water or a non-corrosive commercial cleaning agent.
