TCMS – Distributed Train Control & Management System
AMiT’s powerful distributed control system ensures the management of all technologies in rail vehicles. This robust and temperature-resistant system, compliant with EN 50155, meets all extreme operating conditions in railway and rail transport.
The core of data exchange between the CPU and input/output units is based on a CAN bus with great flexibility for connections and diagnostics of communication issues. The high variability and customization options of the input/output modules, depending on the required types and quantities of signals, make this system a completely universal and comprehensive control solution for a wide range of rail applications.
The unique geographical configuration system of I/O nodes aids in the quick exchange of modules while eliminating incorrect connections. Control computers are programmed using the TrolStudio development tool, produced in-house.
Key features
- Communication protocol CANopen DS 401
- CAN bus cascading
- Geographical node configuration
- Operational software with redundant CAN communication
- Powerful development tool TrolStudio
- Wide operating temperature range -40 °C to 70 °C
- Power supply 24 V or 48 V DC
- Construction according to EN 50155
TCMS – Modular Train Control & Management System
AMiT’s powerful modular (rack-mounted) control system RAVA, installed in racks, manages all technologies and communication networks of rail vehicles. In addition to processor (CPU) modules and input/output cards, the same rack can also house a WTB communication node that connects to the local vehicle communication network (MVB, CAN, Ethernet) according to IEC 61375.
A key feature of the rack-mounted design is the possibility of redundancy for power supplies, CPU units, and all input/output cards to enhance the overall system reliability. CPU units ensure backbone communication over Ethernet, MVB, CAN, or RS485 links, and different communication types can be freely combined.
The high reliability, redundancy, and operational availability of the RAVA control system are ensured by the ability to combine various types of CPU, communication, input/output, and power supply cards. The robust and temperature-resistant system complies with EN 50155, meeting all extreme operational conditions in railways and rail transport.
Individual units and cards of the RAVA system are assembled in racks with 10, 15, or 21 slots.
The development environment TrolStudio is used for creating application programs.
The unique geographical configuration system facilitates quick module replacement while eliminating incorrect connections. Control computers are programmed using the TrolStudio development tool produced in-house.
