2 types of systems

1. Conventional systems -

- directly connected from main controller to sensor / relays

- may use proprietary tecnolologies

- Usually stand alone systems

- hard wired / direct attached cables

- 1 or 2-pair twisted pair cables / coaxial cables

- may use star / daisy-chain / bus design

9

2 types of systems

2. IP / Ethernet based systems

- ruggedised Ethernet solutions (100BaseT or 1000BaseTX)

- connect devices to Ethernet switch

- networked : different systems may communicate with each other

- different IP systems may share a common cabling/network

- 2 or 4 pair twisted pair cables

- usually includes a multimode fiber backbone.

- use star configuration

10

Advantages of IP based systems

1. Remote Monitoring

- anytime / anywhere monitoring & control

2. Inter-connected

- ease of integrating with different systems

- wireless transmission

3. Common infrastructure

- storage / cabling / communications

- economies of scale

4. Commonly understood technology / protocol

- based on international standards

- faster training / greater pool of skilled staff

5. Power over Ethernet

- power and data over single twisted pair cable.

11

Challenges in rail systems

1. Vibration - train moving on tracks at high speed

2. Electromagnetic Interference - caused by unknown external environments & electrical equipment

3. Extreme Temperature - caused by engines and air-conditioning plants

4. Shock - uneven terrain and sudden stopping/movement

5. Water & dust - exposed to atmospheric pollution

12

Requirements for rail cabling solutions

1. Ruggedized Connections - Resistance to the harsh environment present in rail

2. DC Power - support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE & PoE+)

3. High bandwidth - Cat 6A performance for copper (up to 500Mhz) - OM4 performance for optical fiber

4. High performance - 20 years system warranty applicable - tested by GHMT

5. Flexibility in design -range of different connections - RJ45 / M12 / LC

6. Ease of installation - fast, tool-less termination
