Typical Automatic Signalling with MSDAC Dual Detection
The above double line scheme shows the arrangement of Detection Points (DPs) of MSDACs
for main & redundant, concepts of track section. The scheme is for one typical section having
auto sections of 1.0 to 1.4 kms each signal. If the inter signal distance is less, number of auto
sections can be increased between the stations and the Relay Hut shall be kept minimum dis-
tance of 2km.
Abbreviation:

S.No ABBREVIATION DEFINITION

1 U0 Naming may be used only for station yards on main system of de-
tection point on Up line
2 UD Naming may be used only for station yards on redundant system
of detection point on Up line
3 D0 Naming may be used only for station yards on main system of de-
tection point on DN line
4 DD Naming may be used only for station yards on redundant system
of detection point on DN line
5 UA Naming may be used only for station yards on redundant system
of detection point on Up line
6 UB Naming may be used only for UP line Auto section on redundant
system of detection point.
7 DA Naming may be used only for DN line Auto section on Main system
of detection point.
8 DB Naming may be used only for DN line Auto section on redundant
system of detection point.

*Note: The above nomenclature of detection points are typical may be changed as per railway
practice of SIP.
General Scheme NOTE:
1. MSDAC scheme for Auto Signalling in block section connected to station section and yards.
2. For Auto Section evaluator can be centralized, or distributed architecture based on OEM spe-
cific products. For exchanging of signalling information RDSO approved SIL 4 I/O Multiplexer /
UFSBI shall be used.
3. Communication between RDSO approved SIL 4 I/O Multiplexer / UFSBI shall be through OFC
ring in main and redundant path. OFC cable will be laid either side of track in two different
paths.
4. Auto reset function may be achieved either through a relay/timer circuit or through an Auto reset
module.
5. When a main track section is clear and its redundant track section is showing occupied for more
than 10 seconds, the cleared main track section will automatically reset the occupied redundant
track section or vice-versa.
6. When both main & redundant axle counter sections are failed, they have to be cleared by man-
ual reset. A common reset box kept at dispatch station and a co-operative button kept in recep-
tion station shall enable this operation. The manual reset command from common reset box
shall reset only failed track section. The manual reset shall always be preparatory reset.
For manual reset, it must be ensured that there is no train in specific line (UP/DN) of auto block
section
7. Manual reset as well as auto reset of axle counter section shall only be preparatory reset.

8. Separate evaluators shall be provided for UP & DN lines and main & redundant system for more
redundancy.
9. Number of Relay Huts, it’s location may be planed as per site condition.
10. Track section details shown only for UP line in the typical scheme. Similar arrangement shall be
considered for DN line.

Installation Practices:
1. Mounting of Wheel detector for main DP shall be on outer rail and for redundant DP shall be on
inner rail parallel to each other. So that the track section clear time delay should be similar for main
and redundant to avoid unnecessary Auto reset being initiated.
2. Wheel detector mounting shall be minimum 2 meter away from glued joints.
3. RDSO Technical advisory for Digital axle counter shall be followed and to suit OEM requirement
STS/E/TAN/7006. Dated 13.02.2015.
4. RDSO Digital Axle counter wiring discipline shall be followed and to suit OEM requirement
STS/E/TAN/6001.Dated 04.10.2011.

Design Practice:
1. To minimize the number of track sections, no separate track section has been made for the overlap
portion in auto-sections.
2. Interface between Evaluator to each DP will require ½ quad or one Quad / OFC connectivity ap-
proved by RDSO, as per OEM specific.
3. Separate quad cable for UP & DN direction detection points in separate trenches. However, UP
main DP and DN redundant DP and vice-versa can be combined in one quad cable.
4. Provision of all auto block track section indication shall be required only in Dispatch end. In receiving
end combined indication for all auto block track section shall be provided.
5. MSDAC of Station section should be entirely different that of Block section.
