Since 1995, ELECTRANS has been a pioneer in designing, manufacturing, and installing innovative axle counters for the railway sector. With the introduction of our latest axle counter, the E-AC-214-PLUS, we continue to lead the industry in providing high availability and safety for Railway, Metro, LRT, and Tram systems worldwide.
The E-AC-214-PLUS is engineered with 2oo2 microprocessor technology, ensuring reliable train detection, speed monitoring, and accurate directional information for safer and more efficient rail operations. Some of its outstanding benefits are:
- Safety Integrity Level (SIL-4): Meets the highest safety standard.
- Long-Range Communication: Allows up to 30 km communication by V23 modem and up to 1.200 m by RS-485.
- Cost-Effective Infrastructure: A significant reduction in cable usage due to its BUS communication architecture lowers overall project costs.
- Enhanced Communication Reliability: Features multiple IXL interface communications with functional redundancy strategies to ensure maximum system availability.
- Scalable System Design: Supports serial BUS communication for up to 64 detection points per CPU.
Robust and Reliable Under Any Conditions. The E-AC-214-PLUS is built to last and operate under the most challenging conditions:
- Extended Lifespan: Designed to operate well more than 25 years with an availability rate of 99.9997%.
- Quick Maintenance: Boasts a Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) of less than 30 minutes.
- Durable Wheel Sensors: Wheel sensors are rated up to IP68 for water and dust resistance.
- Anti-Vandal Protection: Designed with protection against attempts of vandalism.
- Wide Operational Temperature Range: Suitable for extreme temperatures range between -40ºC and 70ºC.
- No Forced Ventilation Required: Enhances safety and reduces maintenance.
- High-Speed Detection: Capable of detecting high-speed trains travelling up to 400 km/h.
APPLICATIONS
- Level Crossing Protection: Increases safety at intersections between roads and railways.
- Track Vacancy Detection: Monitors rail, metro, LRT, and tram lines.
- Depot and Marshalling Yard Safety: Manages and safeguards train storage areas.
- Intelligent Wheel Detection: Provides critical data on wheel conditions for enhanced operational decisions.
- Predictive Maintenance: Utilizes data for forecasting maintenance needs, reducing downtime.
- CBTC Fallback: Ensures reliable backup for Communication-Based Train Control systems.
MAIN COMPONENTS
- Indoor equipment
- Rack-based CE-214 electronic equipment that centralizes and manages the information coming from track side equipment, communications with the interlocking and other central evaluators. The central evaluator reports track vacancy, train speed and punctual directional detection. All equipment can be installed on the outdoor cabinet. Communication with third-party interlocks is possible using inputs and outputs or EULYNX SCI_TDS safety protocol.
- Track equipment
- Double Treadle ERD-214 installed on the rail safely detects the wheel flange of rolling stock. Its double-detection configuration provides information on speed, direction and wheel parameters.
- Track Unit TU-214 receives and processes information from ERD-214 and communicates digitally with the central evaluator CE-214.
