Automatic speed control by sequence control systems for marshalling yards

Complex automation demands are made in the context of modernizing existing or implementing new sequence control systems.

Essential components here are automatic speed regulation and braking control, areas in which we have been offering our customers system solutions for more than 12 years.

Together with our partners Tiefenbach GmbH we implement:

Software and hardware solutions for speed regulation G-RA® in sequencing systems (G-RA® – registered trademark of our partner FEW GmbH)
Coupling of speed regulation with a travel controller using a controller interface compliant to DIN EN 50159 (safety procedure)
Control for coupling alignment equipment
PVG coupling
Cross-system design and integration strategies through use of UML-based description and implementation

The main elements of our system for automating marshalling yards are:

PC-based operation and visualization stations for operating the yard units (brakes, coupling alignment device, …), entering of marshalling sequence, etc.
Online data acquisition and evaluation system
Maintenance system
Parameterizing system for sequence control
Real-time control using industrial microcomputer systems
Simulation system
Linkage to material management systems
