This document defines: — a set of interference limits for magnetic fields resuling from both rail current and equipment on board the vehicles; — evaluation criteria to verify rlling stock emissions and demonstrate compatibility with the interference limits for magnetic fields; — traceability of requirements (type of axle counter detectors considered forthe limits) Inthe relevant frequency range of the axle counter detectors, the magnetic field is dominant and only this type Of field is considered, Experience has shown that the effects of electric fields are insignificant and therefore not considered,PD CLC/TS §0238-3:2019 CLCITS 50238-3:2019 For the purpose of demonstrating compatibility between roling stock and axle counter detectors, this document defines the interference limits and evaluation methods to verify roling stock emissions. Wheel sensors and crossing loops are not covered by this document. ‘This document gives recommended individual limits to be applied to establish compatibity between RST and all selected types of axle counter detectors, including any covered by national standards. The list of selected types of axle counters and their mits for compatibility are drawn on the basis of established performance criteria. It is expected that the trend for newly signalled interoperable lines will be fitted with types that meet the compatibility limits published in the TSICCS Interfaces Document (FRATERTMS/033281), ‘To ensure adequate operational availablity, it is essential that the rolling stock complies with the defined limite; otherwise, the established availabilty of the valid output function of axle counter detectors may be compromised, NOTE The ituences from metal parts or inductively coupled resonant circuits onthe vehicle, eddy current brakes or magnetic brakes, are not covered by this document but are considered on the basis of national echnical specifications, For wheel sensors and wheel detectors in other applications than axle counters but utlizing the same rail sensors and detectors, transient and continuous interference can be considered as equivalent to axle counter detectors or axle counter sensors. 2 Normative references ‘The following documents are referenced to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

The influence of magnetic fields on the immunity Of the individual axio counters is dominant. In addition, the duration andior repetition rate of interference and the magnetic field strength are also relevant. 4.4.2 Axle counter detector ‘The compatibility limits In this document are based on the immunity of axle countor dotectors and are specified only for the axle counter detector - comprising the sensor on the rail and the detection circuits in the trackside equipment as shown in Figure 1 ‘Aste counter detector ‘Transmission to evaluator unt eae Tmt soe Aion eco, Ecrreton agnthma Pulse detection elreuits ia : Figure 1 — Axlo counter detector, schematic diagram & E F : aPD CLC/TS 50238-3:2019 CLGITS 50238-3:2019 ‘Axie counter detectors use various additonal fer techniques and algorithms that reject interference pulses in order to maximize reliabilty while maintaining safely EXAMPLES: — Nonlinear pulse duration fiers which reject wheel pulses of a duration less than the minimum wheel pulse from a vehicle; — tefection of whee! pulses in one channel ifthe axle counter is already in an occupied status. 44.3 Susceptibility of the detector on the rail ‘The precise area of susceptibility is product specific. The position of the measurement antenna has been chosen to take into account the sensors Ested in A1 The immunity (susceptibility mit) Is defined as the magnetic field that can generate interference pulses or corrupt the wheel pulses of one or more channels of the axle counter detector, ‘The magnetic coupling between the transmission and reception units of the axle counter sensor depends ‘among other things on the rail type. Large ral profiles like UIC 60 profiles, which provide higher attenuation of the receiver voltage, are therefore more critical with respect to the susceptibility 44.4 Sources of interference fields “The following sources of interference are considered for immunity — electrical equipment on the vehicle and magnetically coupled to the axle counter sensor through the air gap (hence referred to as magnetic fields) — rail currents in the eusceptibilty range of operation of the axle counter sensor (hence referred to as ral current field). “The interference fields from the two above defined sources are superimposed on the axle counter sensor whereby the vector of ral current fields has a predictable direction and the vector of magnetic fields has an Unpredictable direction, because itis dependent on the source on the vehicle and on the type of rail 4.2. Availability margin ‘Axle counter systams are assumed to fail ight side if excessive interference leads to a malfunction because of ‘additional control measures being implemented at a system level. A safely margin is therefore not required, but a margin is required to meet the performance requirements with regard to reliability of counting, If the interference limit of the avle counter detector is exceeded and a resulting spurious wheel pulse is ‘generated, this may or may not lead to a failure ofthe axle counter system. ‘A margin of 9 dB accounts for the folowing factors: — 64B signal to noise ratio to mect the probability requirements for miscount within the established ‘equipment operating tolerances; — 368 accounting for: — uncertainty of measuring chain; — positioning of the measurement antenna; — overlapping effects (analysing methods); — other environmental effects affecting interference (rain, temperature, etc)PD CLC/TS 50238-3:2019 CLCITS 50238-3:2019 43 Specific axle counter parameters ‘The interference susceptibility of axle counter detectors depends, among other things, on the amplitude and the duration, for which the interference magnetic field Is present. For continuous interference, the limits are lower than for short duration (transient) interference, 6 Compatibility requirements 5.1 RST emission limits based on the frequency management of the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERA/ERTMS/033281) For future developments of roling stock and axle counter detectors with the aim to decrease the development risk and to minimize the homologation effort for both rolling stock and axle counter detectors, a mandatory European frequency management is specified in the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERERTMS/033281). The FrM also defines out-of-band limits for compatibiliy with RST. The FrM is based on the emission limits for existing axle counters published amongst others in Annex A. These limits have a margin above the actual susceptibilly threshold, established in accordance with the immunity requirements specification defined in EN 50617-2, Evaluation for RST compatiblity shall be done according to the parameters specified in the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERA/ERTMSI033281), ‘The corresponding measurement method and evaluation procedures shall follow EN 60592. 5.2 RST Emission limits for RST compatibility tests for individual axle counters on non- interoperable lines 5.24 Gonoral For RST approval tests demonstrating compatiilty with individual axle counters not covered by the FrM, provided axle counter susceptibility is established in accordance with the immunity specification defined in EN 508172. Evaluation for RST compatibility with individual axle counters shall be done according to the parameters. specified in Annex A, ‘The corresponding measurement method and evaluation procedures shall follow EN 50592. 5.2.2 Short duration interforence limits In case the limits specified in Table A.1 are exceeded and the minimum time interval between two successive ‘exceedances Is bigger than the integration time defined, further evaluation for short duration interference shall 'be conducted for reduced integration times. For the axle counter detectors addressed in this document, the emission limits and maximum time durations of exceedances for short-term interferences are listed in Table A2. i 4 iPD CLC/TS 50238-3:2019 CLCITS 50238-3:2019 ‘A corresponding table is also defined in the frequency management of TSI CCS Interfaces Document (see Table 3 in ERA/ERTMSI03326 1). ‘Weighting of short duration interference is usod in the following cases: — short single discontinuous interference (transients) — the duration ofthe disturbance shall be less than the product specific integration time and, in case of using higher emission limits, less than the reduced integration time; — tepettive short duration interference: — the repetition interval shall be greater than the integration time; — the duration of the disturbance shall be less than the product specific integration time and, in case of Using higher emission limits, less than the reduced integration time. 5.2.3 Mitigating arguments when limits are exceeded Mitigating techniques may be used to achieve compatibilly case for the vehicle in cases where exceedances from the emission limits in Table A.1 are recorded. The compatibility case shall folow the requirements in the EN 50238-1. From practical experience, a compatiblity case is not credible if rolling stock emissions are 25 dB above the limits stated in Table A.1 under any condition, With respect to interoperable rolling stock, the frequency management defined by the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERA/ERTMS/03328 1) over the complete frequency range shall be fulfilled. 10 # aif PD CLC/TS 50238- FE CLCITS 50238-: i L FE tf Annex A it (normative) £ Rolling stock emission limits A Emissions limits and evaluation parameters (narrow band) Table A.1 defines the frequency ranges, measurement parameters and emission limits for rolling stock for demonstrating compatibilly with existing types of axle counter detectors which have tested to the test specification identified in EN 50617-2.
