FOREWORD

Data acquisition, transmission, its storage and handling has pervaded all spheres
of technology. It also assumes a role of significant proportion for train operations.
Notwithstanding the increased traffic intensity, Data logger diligently keeps track of each
signalling related activities involved during train operation. This logged on data serves as
useful guide for preventive maintenance of signalling gears. The present handbook
discusses at length as to how the signalling system can be made more effective, trouble
free, and reliable.
I am confident that this handbook in the hands of field staff will be especially
helpful not only in their day-to-day maintenance activities but also be useful to get the
feel of the new technology.

PREFACE

Railway Signalling system plays a vital role in the movement of trains. It is of utmost
importance that these signal gears are maintained properly to ensure their reliability and
availability.
Data loggers have been proved to be very effective in continuous monitoring of signalling
gears and ascertaining the actual cause of their failure. This helps in taking systematic and
correct approach in rectifying the faults especially of intermittent nature. Preventive maintenance
of signalling gears can be effectively carried out with a network of data loggers and the
signalling data of each station can be centralized.
Continuing its efforts in documentation and up-gradation of information on maintenance

practices, CAMTECH has prepared this handbook to help the maintenance personnel in
analyzing the signal failures in a better way and take remedial action.
We are sincerely thankful to Shri Alok Katiyar, Director/Signal/RDSO, M/s Efftronics Systems
Pvt. Ltd., M/s Crompton Greaves Ltd. and maintenance personnel of BSL division, C.Rly. who
helped us in preparing this handbook.

DATA LOGGER SYSTEM
1.1 ifjp; Introduction
Signalling system plays an important role in the movement of trains over the vast Railway
network. The signalling system is supposed to provide safer, accident-free operation and at
the same time ensuring punctual and reliable management of train movement. There are
some inherent short- comings in signalling system, which result into failures and reliability is
affected badly. A few of these are described below:
 Normally the failures which are intermittent in nature are put right automatically
hence their cause remains unknown to S&T staff.
 There are failures on account of insufficient information about the function i.e.
about its operating characteristics and continuous past behavior.
 Periodical scheduled maintenance of gears is not effectively done due to heavy

traffic and less available time for maintenance. Such gears fail intermittently and require
preventive maintenance.
 The cause of many disputed type failures like wrong operation, late clearance of
signal, late start by Driver etc is not established.
 Performance of signalling gears cannot be monitored continuously by Railway

authorities at divisional HQ as they do not have proper record of the gears.
 There is no method available for maintenance staff attending failure to know the
specific cause and operational history of gears.
 Due to signal failure the detention is considerably high. There is no time margin on
S&T account. Failure means loss of punctuality on S&T account.
To overcome these problems in existing signalling system and to upgrade the reliability of
signalling system, continuous efforts are being made to modernize the signaling system and
to provide a device which can log the events in a proper manner. Provision of data loggers is
an effort in this direction.
1.1.1 MkVk ykWxj Data logger

It is a microprocessor based equipment data acquisition system to log the changes in the
status of Electrical Signalling System (relay contacts). Data logger acts like a “Black box”,
which can scan, store and process the data for generating various user-friendly reports. It is
also known as “Event logger.” On Indian railways data logger conforms to specification

No.IRS:S:99/2006.Data logger records the change in the status of digital and analog inputs of
signalling system and has following features:
 Data loggers help in analyzing the failures such as intermittent, auto right in nature.
 Help in detecting the human failure/errors such as

 Driver passing signal at danger.
 Operational mistakes done by panel operators/ASMs of operating department.
 Help in preventive maintenance of signalling gears.
 Data loggers can be connected in the network which help in monitoring PI/RRI/EI
remotely.
 Failure reports can be generated remotely with the help of data logger network.
 On-line and off-line track simulation is possible.
 Age of the equipment in terms of number of operation/operating time can be

calculated.
1.3 MkVk ykWxj dk usVodZ Network of Data loggers

Data logger in various stations can be interconnected in a network with the use of Main
Telecom cable or Quad cable or Microwave or OFC (Optical Fiber Cable). Data is brought to
the centralized system called Front End Processor (FEP) which is connected to the station
data loggers through the modems. FEP in turn is connected to a PC placed in Control
room/HQ office called Central Monitoring Unit (CMU). The CMU is having the Graphical
User Interface (GUI) software to retrieve data from all networked data loggers. CMU collects
the data from the FEP, stores it and processes for report generation and analysis.
1.4 MkVk ykWxj usVodZ iz.kkyh ds ekM~;wYl Modules of data logger network

6.1 ifjp; Introduction
Central Monitoring Unit (CMU) shall have Graphical User Interface (GUI) based software
and it shall retrieve data from all networked data loggers (up to 32) at various stations. It
shall store data in standard database files. The CMU shall also be capable of analyzing the
data and generate report and audio visual alarms on defined conditions.
6.2 ,QsDVªkWfuDl MkVk ykWxj iz.kkyh dk lh,e;w CMU of Efftronics data logger
system
The CMU of data logger manufactured by M/s Efftronics Systems Pvt. Ltd., Vijayavada is
loaded with the software called Network Management of Data Loggers (NDML). This
software consists of following associated softwares along with the main software namely:

intervals are generated with this software.
(iv) VªSd vkWQ ykbZu lk¶Vos;j Track Off- line software

With this software yard layout can be viewed in a graphical form of any station in the
network. Historical replay of the simulation i.e. based on the data available the simulation
can be made available at any point of time of any station. This software also helps in finding
the route cause for any failure.
