AXLE COUNTER type BO1

FAIL-SAFE SIGNALLING SYSTEM FOR

TRACK SECTION OCCUPANCY CONTROL

‰ Control of a single railway section with 2 or 3 counting points; up to 12 counting points with
additional rack for indoor device
‰ Output information to the interlocking system either in the safety relay contacts form or in
the serial RS422 / RS232 interface form
‰ Possibility for fail-safe communication between two indoor devices located on distant
stations according to EN 50159-1 for automatic block section control
‰ Local or remote (via modem) control option and diagnostics on PC
‰ Memorizing the last 800 trains driven over any counting point including exact time and date,
axle number, direction, faults, etc.; inerasable with power failure
‰ 2-wire connection between indoor and outdoor equipment (power supply and information
signal on the same twisted pair)
‰ Outdoor from indoor equipment distance up to 30km (Ø1.4mm wires); 49km with local power
supply for the outdoor equipment
‰ Base of the counting point is an electronic railwheel sensor (detecting the wheel flange) with
double structure
‰ Direction and speed detection and distinguishing disturbance from an axle passing above
‰ Axle counting at train speeds (standard configuration) up to 350 km/h
‰ Maintenance is reduced to the periodic visual control
‰ No need for additional adjustment after installation

Basic application of the axle disturbances, etc. are memorized
