Technology
Remotely controlled technology making work on the railway infrastructure safer and more efficient, maximizing rail capacity.
Safety
ZKL 3000 RC
Improving both safety and efficiency whilst decreasing downtime.
The ZKL 3000 RC is a preinstalled, SIL-4 rated, remote controlled Track Circuit Operating Device approved by Network Rail. The device is simple to install, can remain in track for 2 years and most importantly improves track workers' safety and efficiencies.
Using the device means that there is no need to enter the danger zone to add or remove protection once it has been installed because the system can be switched remotely, from a place of safety in a matter of seconds.
MTinfo 3000 is the Remote Management System used by railway maintenance personnel to configure the ZKL 3000 RC’s safe track sections and work zones. The MTinfo 3000 App for a smartphone or tablet is used to (de-) activate the ZKL 3000 RC.
The App also provides the user with real-time information to help monitor and control the devices set within a project, giving reassurance that the protection remains in place.
When switched, ZKL 3000 RC mimics the presence of a train in the area, causing the track circuit to display "occupied" and holding the protecting signal to red. The area is instantly blocked, allowing rail personnel to efficiently and safely maintain the track.
Key Features
Self-checking, intelligent, high Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 4, Short Circuit Device
Takes possession in a matter of seconds
Uses the 4G network
Short circuits the signalling circuit when operated (simulates a train in section)
Failsafe design – the device will maintain its state in the event of power or connectivity failure
Measures the quality of its connection to the rail and reports this to the user
Growing demand for track availability
is making essential maintenance
more difficult to execute safely and efficiently.
RSS 3000
Remote switching in an environment
which demands a high level of safety integrity.
SIL 4 Remote Safety Switch
The RSS 3000 is a SIL4 highly reliable Remote Safety Switch is intended to significantly improve track worker safety and more efficient track access. Based on the certified and proven ZKL 3000 RC and SIL4 Cloud technology, using the same MTinfo 3000 Remote Management System as the ZKL 3000 RC to activate and monitor the designed safe working zone.
The RSS 3000 is not mounted between the two running rails, in contrast to the ZKL 3000 RC it is installed in the relay room or lineside cabinet interfacing directly with the signal interlocking. The RSS 3000 can be switched remotely in a matter of seconds without people being on site. A section of track can be immediately protected when switched, allowing track workers to maintain the track effectively and safely.
Key Features
Installed in a relay room or lineside cabinet.
Will give track workers more time on site to complete maintenance tasks.
Used to apply safe work zones and immediately protects the work area when switched within seconds.
Switched remotely using MTinfo 3000 app from a place of safety.
Is 'Fail Safe' and SIL 4 (Safety Integrity Level) approved.
Seamless transition for MTinfo 3000 users.
Monitoring
CRM 3000
Managing critical rail temperature and avoiding unnecessary speed restrictions
Principal Advantages
The CRM 3000 Monitors Rail and Ambient Temperatures between -20°C and +60°C.
This compact sensor is quick and easy to install using a powerful magnet that keep the device secured to the web of the rail.
Uses low-power connectivity technology.
Monitors in real-time against your temperature thresholds, with an accuracy up to 0.5 degrees.
Fully sealed and potted construction stops any ingress from water, frost, dust and insects.
Includes a data monitoring platform, called Insight, to provides customised dashboards presenting the required data.
24/7 Real Time Temperature Monitoring
The CRM 3000 (Critical Rail Monitor) solves the problem of accurately tracking variations in rail temperature.
The CRM 3000 is built to last, its reliable and low-cost. It ensures long-lasting endurance by utilising the most recent NB-IoT low-power connectivity technology.
Installing the CRM 3000 is quick and easy, it attaches to the web of the rail with a quick-fit magnet.
Thresholds can be set to alert the user once the temperature breaches that threshold allowing the user to take necessary action which can be monitored and analysed using the online platform Insight. Any data collated collated is safe and secure via a worldwide network.
