1. System Overview
Existing electric locomotives working on Indian Railways are having conventional
control and interlocking of its different circuits for its safe operation. These are
achieved through an array of Electro-mechanical and Electro-pneumatic relays
and contractors. Such relay-based control involves a large amount of cabling and
a number of interlocking contacts and interconnections, which are not only
maintenance intensive but are unreliable too.
Interlocking of relays inside the loco was used to have some predefined
sequence of operation for proper operation of the different functional blocks of
the loco. For this purpose, interlocking of the relays are used to derive some
combinatorial, sequential and delay logic circuits Other than this, the purpose of
the relays is to ensure the safety of the loco against malfunctioning of the various
electrical equipments due to their different modes of failures. Further, failure of
the relay contacts often makes the situation more complicated.
In the existing loco, in case of any fault, it is very difficult to locate the actual root
cause. This not only increases the down-time of the locos, its servicing and
maintenance also becomes difficult. Identification of the exact fault condition and
its correct maintenance is important to maintain the healthy condition of loco.
The objective of the project MICRO PROCESSOR BASED CONTROL AND

FAULT DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM is primarily to locate the faults for its correct
maintenance. Another objective of the system is to replace some existing relays
and its corresponding interlocking logic with software to reduce the cost and
complexity of wiring and to add certain diagnostic features for better maintenance
of the loco.

2. Design Considerations
The heart of the system is obviously the microprocessor, which acquires the
status of the relays and some analog parameters, processes the information and
issues control outputs to operate and control the various electrical equipments
inside the loco. The purpose of the loco is to run passenger or goods train from
one location to another. Hence, safety of the passengers is one of the prime
considerations for all the interlocking, be it derived through relays or through
electronics & software. Failure to ensure its safe operation may also lead to loss
of property.
Implementation of such protection and operational logics through electronic

hardware and software is much more critical because of the numerous failure
modes that are observed with such systems. Although the basic objective of such
system is quite simple, one needs to ensure the correctness of the input data, its
processing and the output status with a certain degree of confidence.
Components might fail as part of its inherent characteristics. But it is essential to
ensure that in case of any malfunction due to a failure, the control system does
not lead the loco to an unsafe condition.
A safety level for such systems have been designated by various international
bodies and is typically 107 to 10-8 / hour (Safety Integrity Level, SIL3). With
single processor system, the level that can be achieved is typically 10-6 to 10-7 /
hour or even worse depending on the design methodology. Safety level of such
system is considerably enhanced by the use of testability at various levels and
dual hardware redundancy in the hardware. Use of hot-standby processor does
not necessarily enhance the safety level since there are quite a few failure
modes, which a single processor system fails to identify and subsequently lead to
a safe condition.
Availability is another important requirement of such system since due to any
failure if the system ceases to work, there will be disruption of service, which may
lead to inconvenience to the passengers, although it may be safe.
Page 3 of 69

Thus considering both safety and availability of the equipment, the architecture
adapted in the present system is 2-out-of-2 operations with full hardware
redundancy in the input and processor level. Output drive is combined for both
since it would the same relay or contactor. However, each of the subsystem has
its own redundancy and testability to ensure its individual function. Normal
operation will be carried out based on 2-out-of-2 voting in taking all the logic
processing and vital decisions. However, in case of a failure in one set of
hardware, the second set would continue its operation but with an alarm,
ensuring a certain degree of safety.
Redundancy alone does not guarantee fail-safe operation of equipment. For a

redundant system to function properly in presence of a fault, the redundancy
must be managed properly. Redundancy management issues are closely interrelated to ensure the reliability, availability and safety issues for such systems.
One of the key issues for such architecture is the synchronization of the two
processors so that both of them get the same data and processes the output for
the 2-out-of-2 voting process.
3.
System Architecture
The basic architecture adapted for the Fault Diagnostic and Control System is
shown in Fig. I. Each individual processor has its own digital and analog input
cards. Each status input is read by each processor through two separate optoisolators to ensure the correctness of input data individually through dual
redundancy. Correctness of analog inputs is assured by feeding of the same
signal through multiple paths using separate hardware. Outputs of both the
processors are combined in the output card to drive the external relays.
The Multi-function card gives the synchronization pulse to run the two processors
in collusion. It also has the necessary selection logic to select the processor,
which will download all the necessary information to the display units based on
the keyboard interaction. It also drives the safety relay, which will ensure the
Page 4 of 69
Stesalit Limited
safety of the system under the worst-case condition of multiple failures in the
system by withdrawing the power to drive some of the vital external relays of the
loco.
All the status inputs are available in the form of 110 VDC input for ON condition
and no voltage for OFF condition. Analog voltages are available in very high
voltage, which are attenuated in the signal-conditioning box and then fed to the
analog module. Six TM currents are sensed through the voltage drop at shunt of
Traction Motor by means of low voltage. Isolation amplifiers are used for feeding
each input to the processor after proper scaling. All the outputs are driven by
solid-state switch with short-circuit protection to drive the external relays with
110VDC. Elaborate testability at the output has been kept to ensure the integrity
of the output status.
Each of the two processors interfaces to the I/O modules through separate I/O
bus so that in case one of failure of one of the busses, the other can still continue
with the operation. Communication between the two processors is carried out
through inter-processor communication bus to carry out the voting process. The
processors have individual health lines which are also interchanged to
crosscheck the proper functioning of the system. One USB port is provided in
each CPU card to download the data to USB memory device or Pen Drive.
The system uses two display units to prompt the various status and alarm
conditions of the loco. A 40 alphanumeric character x 4 lines LCD display unit is
used for this purpose. It also has two segments 7-SEG Display to display the
current notch position. Five numbers of keys are provided to enable the user to
browse through the status and fault condition of the loco.
The display unit
receives +110V power from LOCO battery i.e. from wire no. 700. This unit has a
built in power supply module to convert +110V to +5V and +12V.

4. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The system contains three separate sub-racks, which are fitted inside the main
cabinet. The lowest sub-rack contains two Processor cards, one Multifunction
card, one Analog Input cards and two Power Supply card. In the middle sub-rack
there are eight Input cards, out of these one is redundant card and one is spare
card. All the external input wires are routed from the backplane to the terminating
19/17 pin circular (bayonet type) connectors mounted on the cabinet. The
uppermost sub-rack houses five output cards, out of these three for 48 O/P, one
is redundant and one is s spare output card, which are common for both the A &
B processors. The uppermost sub-rack also has one card called filter card. All
the external output wires are similarly extended from the backplane to the 19 pin
circular connectors placed on the cabinet. The front side of the cabinet is a
detachable door. The door is also provided with a lock to protect the system from
unauthorized access. The rear side of the cabinet is having four M12 nuts to fit
the system to AC2 panel wall.
Normally the FDCS can accept 128 digital inputs (96 I/P for 6 I/P card, 16 I/P for
one Redundant I/P card, 16 for one spare I/P card) and 12 analog inputs and can
drive up to 80 digital outputs (48 O/P for 3 O/P card, 16 O/P for one Redundant
O/P card, 16 for one spare O/P card). The inputs enter to the FDCS through 7
no. of 19 pin allied connectors (one is redundant) and outputs goes out from the
system through 4 no of 19 pin allied connectors (one is redundant). A 3-pin
bayonet type connector is used for 110V DC power supply. The connectors are
fitted on the topside of the cabinet. The cables for inputs/outputs used are 19
core PTFE insulated 90% shielded type of 1 sq. mm. Outer jacketing of FRLS
material is of suitable grade. One end of the cables is terminated to the allied
connector and other end is terminated at 2.5 sq. mm cable lugs for M5 terminal
stud with loco cable number of ferrules. The cables used for power inputs are of
3 sq. mm are of suitable grade. The interconnection of various connectors of
FDCS main cabinet, display units, and signal conditioning box, Traction Motor
Page 7 of 69
Stesalit Limited
Current Sensing box and AC 2 Panels SB terminal is described later. The

diagram of box mounting type allied connector in the control unit is shown in
figure 2A. There is a mechanical polarization difference among the bayonet type
connectors. Therefore the interchangeability among the input and output
connectors is ruled out.
Wiring details of various connectors are shown in table 1.Position of various
racks, connectors of a typical FDCS are shown in figure 2.
The display unit functions as an interface between the operator and the system.
Each FDCS system consists of two display boxes, one in master cabinet (CAB A)
and the other in rear cabinet (CAB B). In each box there is one display CPU
along with one display keyboard and a power supply card. In display unit there is
one 4X40 character LCD, two seven segment LED, one red LED, one buzzer
and eight keys. Communication is held between the display and main unit trough
RS485 serial port using 10 pin bayonet connector. The display panel diagram of
the display system is shown in figure 3.
Each FDCS system consists of one signal-conditioning box. In this box there is
one signal-conditioning card. High voltage analog inputs are terminated on the
card through 6-way M5 terminal strip, which is fitted one side of the box. The
voltages are down converted to 2.0V. These down voltage signals pass through
10-pin allied connector to FDCS main system, which is, fitted another side of the
box.
Each FDCS system consists of two traction motor current sensing box. In this
box there is one traction motor current sensing card. Low voltage (range between
45mV to 75mV) analog inputs are terminated on the card through 6-way and 2way M5 terminal strip, which is fitted at side of the box. The voltages are
converted to 1.0V. These voltage signals pass through 10-pin allied connector to
FDCS main system, which is, fitted another side of the box.

6. Relay Logic Description

An array of relays and contactors is currently used inside the loco for protection
of the various electrical equipments and its operation in a desired sequence. The
functional blocks that are intended to be replaced by the Microprocessor based
Fault Diagnostic and Control System are described below. The system would
realize these functional blocks through software and activate the respective
contactors and power relays to maintain the same operational condition of the
loco.
6.1
PANTO GRAPH CONTROL CIRCUIT
Current from overhead is controlled by means of two pantographs, PT-1 and PT2. These are operated by hand-operated switch ZPT-1 & ZPT-2.Compressed air
pressure is used to connect and disconnect the pantograph from the overhead
high tension wire.
To raise the pantograph in CAB-1 or CAB-2, the corresponding two relays VEPT1 or VEPT-2 are energized, depending on the status of the switch ZPT-1 or ZPT-2.
In position O of the two switches ZPT-1 & ZPT-2, both the pantographs are
OFF, i.e. VEPT-1 & VEPT-2 are not energized.
6.2
BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION
The battery charger is fed from the supply of ARNO/Static converter. The charger
unit provides 110V DC and a load of 20 amps. A relay QV-61 has been provided
across the charger, indicating its working. As long as charger is ON, QV-61 is
energized and the signaling lamp LSCHBA remains OFF.
6.3: OPERATION OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER

(MTDJ):
The electro valve MTDJ (O0) controls the high voltage circuit breaker DJ. The
breaker is closed by means of the electro-valve EFDJ. The breaker (DJ) is closed
as long as the MTDJ is closed. If MTDJ is interrupted by any of the relay contact
Page 14 of 69
Stesalit Limited
in its path then DJ will be tripped resulting disconnection of power feeding from
the 25 KV HT overhead.
CONDITIONS OF CLOSSING DJ:
1.
BL key in CAB-1 or CAB-2 must be inserted and switched to ON position.
2.
After this, Q45 have to be ON. The conditions required for this are:
a. BP1DJ closed
b. BL1DJ/BL2DJ closed
c. ZPT1/ZPT2 closed (Alternately BV closed) and
d. BL1RDJ/BLR2DJ pressed and released as soon as LSDJ OFF.
3.
A. For ARNO based Loco :Now Q118 is to be energized. For this, the conditions required are:
a. C118 must be de-energized,
b. Blower motors must be OFF so that C105, C106, C107 de-energized,
Q46 de-energized (between-notch relay) and
c. GR within 0 to 5 Notches.
B. For Static Converter based Loco:Now Q118 is to be energized. For this, the conditions required are:
a. Blower motors must be OFF so that C105, C106, C107 de-energized,
Q46 de-energized (between-notch relay) and
b. GR within 0 to 5 Notches.
4.
As Q118 energized, Q44 will be ON provided Q45 closed. ASMGR full

Notch contact available and GR-0 contact is there.
5. A. For ARNO based Loco :As Q44 and Q45 are ON and QCVAR OFF (Arno not started), C118 will
be energized closing the Arno starting contactor and introducing the arno
Page 15 of 69
Stesalit Limited
starting phase by R118 and so Q30 will be ON. And Q44 will be latched
through Q30.
B. For Static Converter based Loco:As QV60 is in OFF condition, through NC contact of QV60, SI will get ON.
It causes 440V A.C feed in wire no. 991 and 993 i.e. output of SI, by which
Q30 gets on via resistance RQ30. Thus Q44 will be latched through Q30.
6. A. For ARNO based Loco :As C118 energized, DJ starting coil EFDJ will be energized. On opening of
C118 (after ARNO starting) EFDJ will be de-energized but DJ will be hold
by MTDJ.
B. For Static Converter based Loco:As Q45 is energized, DJ starting coil EFDJ will be energized through NC
contact of DJ and N/O contact of Q45 (This N/O contact gets closed in this
condition). As EFDJ is energized, NC contact of DJ will open. Hence
EFDJ will be de-energized but DJ will be hold by MTDJ.
7. The number of protection relays, such as QOA, QLA, QLM, QOP-1, QOP2, QRSI-1, QRSI-2 and QPDJ should be closed.
8. When Blower motors are ON after DJ closing, C105, C106, C107 will be
energized, so the NC chain of the above 3 relays in the path of Q118 will
be opened. Since Q118 is a time lag relay, it will be dropped after 5 sec,
so that the path remains closed till the chain of protective relays QVMT-1,
QVMT-2, QVRH, QVSL-1, QVSL-2, QPH, QCVAR close the alternate
path.

following any of the following faults.
Page 17 of 69
Stesalit Limited
Upon blower motors protective relays QVMT-1, QVMT-2, QVRH and

QVSL 1-2 as well as upon failure of the oil pump via protective relay QPH
and for ARNO based Loco through relay QCVAR also.
During normal operation QVMT-1, QVMT-2, QVRH, QVSL 1-2, QPH and
QCVAR for ARNO based Loco remain closed and auxiliary contacts
(C105, C106, and C107 &Q44) remain opened.
In case of any failure the associated protections relay open, the relay
Q118 drop out in 5 sec.
If the tap changer comes to a standstill at any particular notch while
notching down with master controller on 0 position, relay Q46 is
energized (contacts opened), thereby switching off the relay Q118.
The relay Q46 is constantly switched on and off until the tap changer has
reached zero position.
Note:
It is possible to put the switch HVMT1, HVMT2, HVRH, HVSL1,
HVSL2, HPH in position 0 or 3 to override the contacts. In case of
HQCVAR, 0 is the overriding position
6.4. A.
ARNO STARTING LOGIC DESCRIPTION
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION OF ARNO STARTING:

1.
BP1DJ, BL1DJ/BL2DJ and ZPT1/ZPT2 should be closed and then

BL1RDJ/BL2RDJ is pressed for a moment (and released as soon as the
green lamp LSCHBA glows OFF) to ON the relay Q45. (At this time GR
should be in 0 Notch position).
Page 18 of 69
2.
Stesalit Limited
Normally, the relay Q44 is switched by the contact of Q45, if the GR is not
there in between two notches (stuck at notch faults) and Q118 has picked
up.
3.
On closing of Q44 and Q45 the ARNO starting contactor coil C118 gets
energized to generate a phase difference between the voltage and current
for starting the ARNO which is a single phase induction motor.
4.
C118 is cut by the excitation of the relay QCVAR (N/C).
6.4. B.
STATIC CONVERTER STARTING LOGIC DESCRIPTION
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION OF SI STARTING:

1. BP1DJ, BL1DJ/BL2DJ and ZPT1/ZPT2 should be closed and then
BL1RDJ/BL2RDJ is pressed for a moment (and released as soon as the
green lamp LSCHBA glows OFF) to ON the relay Q45. (At this time GR
should be in 0 Notch position).
2. Normally, the relay Q44 is switched on by the contact of Q45, if the GR is
not there in between two notches (stuck at notch faults) and in this
condition relay Q118 will be ON.
3. Static Inverter will be ON by the NC contact of QV60 relay when it is in
OFF condition,
6.5 BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL

4.
When the relay C107 is energized, the time delay relay QTD105
gets energized after a time delay of 5 seconds and its contact
energized the coil C105 if the disconnecting switch for traction
motor blower no.1 HVMT-1 is in 1 or 3 position and also
energized the time delay relay QTD106 after a delay of 5 seconds.
The contact of QTD106 energized the relay C106 if the
disconnecting switch for traction motor blower no.2 HVMT-2 is in 1
or 3 position. The relay C105 & C106 latches the contacts by the
self-contact C105 and C106.
5.
For WAG-7 Loco having Static Inverter has C108 relay also. If
C145 is in ON condition and C107 in OFF condition only then C108
will be energized. In WAP-4 Loco, C108 is not available.
Note:
Driver can switch off the blower motor contactors C107, C105, and C106 by
directly putting the disconnecting switches HVRH, HVMT-1 and HVMT-2 in
position 0 or 2 respectively.
6.6 COMPRESSOR MOTOR CONTROL

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The compressor motor contactors C101, C102, and C103 are energized, if any of
the key BLCP and valve RGCP or BLCPD is closed, and also the relay Q100 is
closed and HCP is not in position 0 (The position of HCP determines how many of
compressor motors will be started at a time). When no compressor motor has been
Page 20 of 69
Stesalit Limited
started, the relay for unloaded valve Q119 is under energized condition through a
chain of NC contacts of C101, C102, C103 and the N/O contact of Q119 make
unloaded valves VEUL1-3 energized. Unloaded valves are electro-pneumatic
valves work to avoid the backpressure of the delivery pipe at the time of starting of
compressors. First C101 and C103 are energized which results opening of path for
Q119 coil. The path of C102 is closed through N/C contact of Q119. So C102 starts
after dropping of Q119. The purpose of unloaded valves is served through the 5
time lag of Q119.

6.7 TRACTION MOTOR CONTRACTORS (LINE CONTACTORS)
There are six Line contactors L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, and L6 for the traction
motors.
NORMAL OPERATION:
For closing the line contactors, the following conditions must be satisfied:
1) The running/braking drum of the master controller MP is only in running
position.
2) Q50 is closed.
3) CTF [1-3] are in running.
4) The tap-changer GR must be on notch 1 or above.
Page 21 of 69

5) The rotary switch position of HVS1-2 and HVMT1-2 must be at 1 or 3,

which determine the half or full power availability of the traction motor.
6) HMCS-1 & HMCS-2 rotary switching positions are at closed contacts.
Once traction motor contactors are closed, and GR is in notch position 1 or
above the line contractors relays are latched by their own contacts through a
N/O contact of DJ, which bypass the MP and Q50.

TRACTION MOTOR CONTROL
The traction motor double reverser J1J2, pneumatically controlled, connects the
exciting windings of the motor in such a way that these carry current in one
direction or in the other thus enabling the locomotive to run in either direction.

6.9
NOTCHING IN LOCO
Inside the Loco, the main transformer (primary fed by 25 KV) comprises
one autotransformer with 32 taps (called notches) and a step down
transformer with two separate secondary. The primary of the step-down
transformer is connected to one of 32 taps of the autotransformer by
means of 32-step tap changer GR, which is driven by a pneumatic
servomotor SMGR. The passage from one tap of transformer to another
takes place on load.
When GR value is increasing it is called notch-up of the loco and when
decreasing it is called notch-down. Notching is held during running
Page 23 of 69
Stesalit Limited
/braking condition of loco. Running/Braking is controlled by master

controller MP called Running /Braking drum and Forward/Reverse is
controlled by reversing drum MPJ. MPJ can be operated only when MP is
at position 0 (mechanically locked). In the loco there is adequate
arrangement to ensure that the tap changer always moves only one notch
at a time.
FUNCTIONALITY OVERVIEW:
If Master Controller MP in + position with RUN /BRK, SMGRVE-1 UP
valve will be activated. If it is in - position with RUN /BRK, SMGRVE-1
DOWN valve will be activated. Instead of Master Controller push button
switch for operating GR motor in progression BPP1-2 can be used for
notching up and push button switch for GR motor in regression BPR1-2
can be used for notching down. The relay EVPHER will be ON after 5notch.
A)
Tap changer down valve SMGRVE2 DOWN is energized both for the
running braking drum MP at running and braking position, provided
1. ZSMS must be in position 1(ON).
2. ZSMGR is ON.
3. GR is in 1 to 32 in any of the valid position.
4. Notch to notch relay Q52 and slip protection relay Q51 must
not be energized.
5. The relay Q50 must be closed.
B)
Tap changer down valve SMGRVE1 UP is energized both for the

running braking drum MP at running and braking position, provided
1. ZSMS must be in position 1(ON).
2. ZSMGR is ON.
3. GR is in 0 to 31 in any of the valid position.
4. Notch to notch relay Q52 and slip protection relay Q51 must
not be energized.
5. The relay Q50 must be closed.
Page 24 of 69
Stesalit Limited
To ensure safety, there exists the arrangement of auto regression i.e. tap
changer automatically comes to zero from any high notch value. Auto regression
occurs in case of ARNO over voltage or wheel slip or fall in brake
Pipe pressure monitored by air brake governor as follows:
a. In case of ARNO over voltage, auto regression occurs via Q20
b. In case of wheel slip, auto regression occurs via Q48.
c. In case of fall in brake pipe pressure, auto regression occurs via
QRS relay which causes energizing of Q51 and so auto
regression.
d. If relay Q50 is de-energized in any case then auto regression
Takes place via Q50.
6.10. BRAKE FAIL PROTECTION VALVE IP (MECHANICAL BRAKE)
IP valve is generally used for braking when normal brake fails to work properly. It
is generally electrically operated mechanical brake. Operation of IP valve is
controlled by FDCS. It is Output22 of FDCS. If Out22 is in ON condition, IP valve
is in de-energized condition hence no braking. If Out22 is in OFF condition, IP
valve is in energized condition hence mechanical brake come in to work.
This Output will ON if
1. Q30 is ON or CTF is in Braking side and
2. MP in Braking side or Input73 (GR 0_5 for WAG-7, GR 11_32 for WAP-4)
is in ON condition.
6.11. SHUNTING CONTACTORS

In order to increase the balancing speed, three steps of shunting are used for
field weakening. The shunting operation is done under running condition
controlled by field weakening controller of master controller MPS1-2. Four
shunting steps, Sx1, Sx2, Sx3A, and Sx3B are introduced in MPS1-2. This
shunting is valid only in notch position 20 and onwards.
Page 25 of 69
Stesalit Limited
For WAP-4 type Locomotive there are two more shunting contactor also named
Sx41 and Sx42.
By pressing switch ZQWC, the weight transfer relay QWC can be energized in
J1J2 [FOR] or J1J2 [REV] condition for notch value 0-10, thus activating O20 and
O21 (S13-S63).
6.12. SANDING LOGIC DESCRIPTION

Sanding occurs via the electro valve VESA-1 & VESA-2 for two directions
respectively.
These relays are energized by operating the pedal switches PAS-1 or PAS-2 in
two cabs or by the wheel slip relays Q48. If the pedal switch is applied and J1J2
are in the forward direction, the relay named VESA-1 will be activated; otherwise
VESA-2 will be activated if J1J2 is in the reverse direction.
On the other hand, VESA-1 & VESA-2 will be activated via Q48 (The relay Q48
can be energized only if the traction breaking switches CTF are in running
position.). If the wheel on one boogie starts slipping, the load on the motor drops
and this is detected by the relay QD1& QD2. (The HMCS-1 switch also selects
this, where we need auto sanding or pedal sanding). When the current difference
exceeds around 150A, the relay QD is energized. Operation of the relay Q48 as
a result of wheel-slip and operation of relay QD-1 or QD-2 also results in
automatic regression of the tap changer (GR) till the relay QD-1 and QD-2 drops
out to arrest of the wheel slip.
The contact of the relay Q48 are provided with a drop out delay of 5-secs. This
begins as soon as the relay has been de-energized. This means that sanding will
continue for 5-sec after wheel slip has stopped.
For MU operation of WAG-7 type Loco, if Q48 acts in any Loco i.e. leading Loco
or trailing Loco, auto-sanding and auto-regression should take place via Q51 in
its energized state at other Loco also.

Hardware Description
The system is provided with three motherboards, which are fitted at the backside
of three sub racks. The cards are plugged to the motherboard through EURO
connectors. To ensure the correct insertion of cards, mechanical polarization is
provided at the backplane by positioning the EURO connectors at different level
for different cards. The advantage with this arrangement is that the same types of
cards are interchangeable and at the same time the insertion of a card at wrong
slot is prevented.
The system consists of two processor cards with a common set of Input Cards,
both analog and digital, and common Output and Multi-function Card set. The
power supply card provides power to both the processor sub-systems.
Each of the Digital Input Cards accommodates 16 external inputs. Three such
Input cards support altogether 128 inputs. For both the processors, altogether
eight input cards are there with complete dual hardware redundancy. Out of
Page 28 of 69
Stesalit Limited
these eight input card one is redundant and one is spare. The system presently
uses 80 inputs and the rest are available for future expansion of its functionality.
The analog card interfaces to 12 external analog inputs. Each of the analog
inputs have optical isolation amplifier to protect the system from harmful external
high voltage.
The system has five output cards. Out of these five output cards, one is
redundant and one is spare. Each output card drives 16 outputs through solidstate FET switches. Each switch can drive typically 3 Amps from 110Vdc supply
for driving external relays. Again each of the switches is also provided with short
circuit protection so that in case of accidental overload or external short-circuit
the switch is tripped to protect the switches. Altogether five output cards are
provided in the system to support 80 outputs, out of which, 40 outputs are used
at present. The rest are there for future expansion.
The multifunction card provides the synchronization clock to both the processors.
It also processes the health signal of the two processors, which is used to arm
the output drives of the output module. The combined health signal is also used
to drive a safety relay, which provides 110V power to the first two output cards
driving most of the vital relays. In case of a critical fault, the processors go to a
safe state by withdrawing the health signals, which in turn trips the safety relay to
remove the power from the first two output cards for driving the corresponding
outputs.
The system has two power supply card. One is spare. User can switch on any
power supply card or both. The power supply unit produces the requisite +5Vdc
and +12Vdc power for the system from the 110Vdc power supply. It has two
separate controllers for generating those outputs. Switched-mode technology is
used to increase the efficiency of the power supply and thus produce less heat
inside the cabinet.
Page 29 of 69
Stesalit Limited
Each FDCS system has two display panels; one is placed in the front cab and
the other in the rear cab. The system communicates with each panel through an
RS485 communication link. Whenever an alarm comes in the relay logic, it is
displayed to both display panels. The display unit of the cab, which contains the
BL key, will give audio annunciation to draw the attention of the driver. The audio
buzzer gets deactivated after getting acknowledgement from the user through the
key ACK. The minor alarms are displayed only for 6 sec without any audio
annunciation. The user can browse through the status of inputs and outputs
with the help of five keys on the keyboard. Also the faults (if exists) can be
viewed one by one on the display panel. The present notch value is always
displayed on the 7 segment LED.
The FDCS system has got the feature of logging of status and faults that can be
downloaded to a USB mass storage device. With the help of a history buffer in
the memory unit of CPU, the system is enabling to download last 512 faults each
with background data.

1. Card Name:
Multifunction Card
2. Card No.:
P09/FDCS12
3. Card Requirement: This card accommodate various hardware for both the
Processor module and Interface hardware for Main
System and the Display modules.
4. Functional Capacity:

Processor synchronization hardware
Power shutdown switch for Output card 1 and 2 where driver of the vital

5. Functional Description of the Multifunction card:

This module provides the synchronization clock to the two processors
derived from a separate crystal source. This section of hardware is common
for both the processors. It also processes the health signals received from
the two processors and derives the master health line, which enables the
output modules. It also selects the particular processor, which will
communicate to the display units to display the status and alarm
information.
7. c. DIGITAL INPUT CARD

1. Card Name:
Digital Input Card
2. Card No.:-
P09/FDCS02

modular hardware redundancy.
4. Functional Capacity: - Each Digital Input card contains 16 digital inputs. The
System has 8 input card out of these 1 is redundant and 1 is spare card. The
system has a provision of 128 digital inputs, which are distributed to both the
Processor card.
Page 32 of 69
Stesalit Limited
5. Functional Description of the Digital Input card:

Each input card contains 16 digital inputs. In the facia there are 16 green
LED to monitor the status of individual input. All inputs are protected from
surge and transient voltages by using MOVR. Each input to a processor is
acquired through two sets opto-isolators to ensure correctness of data.
In the first stage high voltage (110V) are down converted with the help of a
high wattage resistance. Optical isolation at the input side is done through
individual optical isolators. Two optical isolators with separate hardware are
used for each input.
The high wattage resistance and the MOVR part are common to both the
set for each input. Any failure in this part will be treated as a common mode
failure, which will be detected through the other processor data. Any failure
in the subsequent stages will be differential mode of failure, which can be
identified by the individual processor through testability and redundancy.
The processor collects the inputs through different hardware using chip
select and input-read logic signal. The data is read in the form of data and
inverted data, which gives a better integrity of the data, read through the
bus.
Inputs are assigned to the processor by the address of the card, which are
placed in the back plane (it is independent of the slot). To select a particular
card the address is compared with a four-bit card address and an active low
signal is generated to select a particular chip.
7. d. OUTPUT CARD
1. Card Name:
Output Card
2. Card No.:
P09/FDCS11
Page 33 of 69
Stesalit Limited
3. Card Requirement: This card drives various high voltage relays through
P-channel MOSFET.
4. Functional Capacity: - Each Output card contains 16 outputs. The system
has five output card out of these one is redundant and one is spare. The
system has a provision of 80 outputs.
5. Functional Description of the Output card:
The system has a provision for 80 digital outputs. All outputs are optically
isolated. The system is a two out of two system i.e. two processor will work
simultaneously and in case of failure of one the other will take the whole
responsibility of the system.
Output data from the two-processor cards are first latched on individual
buffers. This is crossed checked by the individual processor through
feedback ports. The data is then passed through an OR gate to combine
the activation signals from the individual processor. A second stage of
feedback is provided from this stage. This ORed output is used to drive
opto-isolators, which in turn switch ON the MOSFET for driving the external
relay.
The driver circuit is short circuit current protected. The current protection is
achieved by considering the resistance drop due to over current flowing in
the input side, as a result a thyristor will be ON, which pulls the gate to the
high voltage towards source; hence put the FET into cut-off. A Zener diode
is used between source and gate of the FET, to protect gate to source
break down, due to some fault in the circuit.
The output latches are armed with the health line of the processors
extended through the backplane. In case of any failure in a processor subsystem, the processor identifies the fault and goes to a safe state where it
Page 34 of 69
Stesalit Limited
negates the health line. In the output card, this negation of the health line
forces the output drive of the faulty processor to the OFF state. The system
would then continue its operation with the help of the other processor subsystem.
7. e. POWER SUPPLY CARD

1. Card Name:
Power Supply Card
2. Card No.:

Output - Over voltage and short circuit

Efficiency
- Better than 75% at nominal
5. Functional Description of the Output card:

The system has two Power Supply card. User can switch ON one power
supply or both for use.
The power supply unit first starts its operation from a series 10V regulator
derived from the 110V dc supply. Once the module starts to operate it will
generate an auxiliary +12V supply from which it will take the input, i.e. selffeeding takes place.
The PSU has two separate switching power supply modules, one for +5V
and the other for +12V.The two power supplies are kept fully dc isolated
Page 35 of 69
Stesalit Limited
from the 110V signal earth. They are also mutually isolated from each other.
Optically isolated feedback is used for voltage stabilization, maintaining the
ground isolation.
Elaborate alarm monitoring circuit is used to raise alarms if the voltage goes
beyond certain limits. The input voltage is also monitored to be within a
specified limit, beyond which the switching regulator is switched off raising
over voltage or under voltage alarm. The output voltages are also required
to be within a specified limit beyond which alarms would be generated. The
two CPU cards monitor all the PSU alarms.
There are four testing points and seven alarm LEDs

ANALOG INPUT MODULE
The system has a provision of 12-analog inputs. Out of 12-analog inputs, four
channels are used at present and the rest is kept open for future. Out of these
four, three of them are for A.C inputs to measure the phase voltages of the
ARNO and one is DC high voltage input (1000V) coming from the traction motor.
Page 36 of 69
Stesalit Limited
External high voltage analog inputs, scaled down by signal conditioning unit and
low voltage analog input, scaled up by TM Current sensing unit are taken through
a differential amplifier stage in the Analog input card. Thus the effect of any
difference in analog ground potential (ANGND) would be cancelled out. The
swing of analog signals, from the output of differential amplifier, is kept within
+5V and GND. This voltage is fed to the CPU card through the analog interface
card for A/D conversion. There are pots with each analog channel to adjust the
gain to the proper value. These are accessible from the front for trimming if
required. The front panel of the analog module is shown below
7.4
SIGNAL CONDITIONING MODULE
High voltage analog inputs are terminated on the card and are down converted.
The 1000V dc is down converted to 2.0V first by simple resistance drop. The 3
inputs for 3 phases AC, high voltages are first rectified and then the rectified
output is down converted by resistance drop.
The Analog Module transfers the external analog signal through optical amplifiers
to isolate the signals from dangerous external voltages. Each of the analog
sections is powered by separate isolated power supplies so that none of the
external voltages have any mutual relationship. The isolated power supplies are
generated by four sets of switching regulators working from 12Vdc of the main
system. This power is taken with the help of the circular connector connecting the
signal-conditioning unit with the main unit.
7.5
TRACTION MOTOR CURRENT SENSING MODULE
Six Traction Motor shunt voltage are terminated on the card and are up
converted. The almost 75mV D.C voltage is up converted or amplified to a level
of almost 1V by differential amplifier.
The Analog Module transfers the external analog signal through optical amplifiers
to isolate the signals from dangerous external voltages. Each of the analog

7.7I. FILTER CARD

Filter Card is used to protect the Power Supply Card as well as the system from
surge, spike and external hazards. The raw 110V dc from LOCO battery is fed to
the power supply unit through a surge protector and filter section to protect the
system from high voltage spikes and surges coming along the power line. The
first stage is a Gas arrestor to absorb high-energy pulses. This is followed by an
LC filter and a transient protector to bring down the spikes within acceptable limit.
The primary supply is connected to earth through high voltage capacitors to
bypass AC noises but ensuring DC isolation.
7.7
DISPLAY MODULE
The card is housed in the Display Unit. In an FDCS system two display units are
required for two cabins. The main component of the card is an 80196KC
microcontroller, which actually drives two 7-segment LEDs, one 40character X
4lines LCD display and a buzzer.
Serial communication with the main controller is done in RS485 standard with
ground isolation.
8. Software Architecture
Microprocessor Based Control and Fault Diagnostic System is a dual processor
redundant system. Normally it works in 2-out-of-2 mode i.e. two processor are
working simultaneously in conjunction to each other. In case of failure of any of
the processor or its sub-system, the other processor will take up the whole
responsibility of the system, indicating an alarm that the system is working with
one processor. Integrity of the system will then be ensured through the built-in
testability with the various functional blocks.
It is a system, where apart from its basic purpose of monitoring the inputs and
controlling the outputs, safety is an important issue. A good level of safety and
reliability is achieved by managing the redundancy of both hardware and
software stage. With such a tightly coupled system, synchronization of the two
processors is a big issue. The synchronizer hardware in the multi-function card
Page 39 of 69
Stesalit Limited
gives the synchronizing clock to both the CPUs. Each of the processors takes the
synchronization information from the synchronizer and does the same specified
task at a particular instant of time.
In case of two out of two system, inter processor communication at various
stages is the heart of the system to ensure the safety and reliability. Information
acquired by each processor along with its processed outputs is interchanged to
ascertain the validity. In case of any mismatch, the faulty unit is isolated from the
system by forcing the software to a fail-safe core where it switches OFF all the
corresponding outputs and withdraws the health signal. The other processor
would then carry out the processing and control the outputs individually.
All the vital and time critical jobs are performed in a 10 msec periodic task,
invoked by the synchronizer. This task is basically an 8-step state machine. The
job of reading the inputs, processing the data for validity and relay status and
outputting the data is distributed among the 8 states in such a way that the
processor gets ample time to carry out other jobs. The cycle time to complete the
state machine is thus 80 msec. which is consistent with the response time of the
external relays.
Each of the processor cards reads the inputs through two separate optoisolators. It also receives additional two sets of data from the adjacent processor
through inter-processor communication. Thus each processor at a certain point
of time has four data for the same input. The validity of data is derived from these
four data sets to give a very high integrity of data. The logic used to validate the
data is given in the table shown below.

=> Status of these data cannot be derived from these states. However, the
output is treated as OFF which is a safer state.
In case of output, the system uses OR-ing logic to feed the particular output. A
number of hardware feedbacks are taken to ensure the correctness of the output.
The software first cross-checks the equality of the output state derived from the
input status. If the equality does not hold good for a certain time out period
(typically 400 msec.), the total system would go to a safe state, since in 2-out-of2 voting, the system cannot decide who is correct.
Integrity of the output is checked against three levels of feedback and in case of
any mismatch, the respective processor would go to safe state. The various
tasks that the software would perform are given below.
