Ref; (i) ED/Signal/Railway Board letter no. 2020/Sig/M/DAC/DD dt.13.04,2020. (ii) ED/Signal/Railway Board letter no, 2020/Sig/21/Safety Performance dt.07.10.2020. {ill Item No. 3.0()) of Review Meeting through VC held by Railway Board and the minutes circulated vide letter no. 2011/Sig/G/2/RDSO dt.12.10,2020. In reference to Railway Board's references quoted at (i), (il) & (ii) above, the typical scheme for automatic signaling with Axle Counter (with dual detection arrangement) over OFC has been prepared for cost optimization and faster & safer execution. The typical scheme alongwith write-up is enclosed for guidance for the Railways. The scheme shows the arrangement of dual detection of MSDAC, concept of track sections, concept of auto resetting etc. The scheme is expected to be more reliable and maintenance friendly due to following reasons: 1, Centralization of vital electronic equipment at stations/relay hut. 2. Dual detection arrangement of MSDAC with auto resetting. 3. Use of axle counter makes the scheme immune to the last conditions/drainage/rail install 4. The dual detection arrangement is with MSDAC to MSDAC for Main line, stations sections & yards, Automatic signaling, BPAC, IBS application to avoid glued joint. 5. The provision of optical fiber cable with physical diversity in up and down direction will ‘make the communication reliable and cost effective. This will also reduce the failure on account of induction effect in quad cable. yw “a>&. Status of all the systems including redundant shall be monitored through data logger and exception reports/alarms shall be sent to maintenance team & signal control for taking necessary action well in time before complete system failure. 7. The scheme is generic and may require same changes depending on the site conditions, Inter signal distance of auto sections, type of MSDAC planned for use ete. 8. Zonal Railways/PSUs may be advised that () While calling the tenders for executing the work through work contracts/store contracts etc. should supply tentative SIP of the automatic Section/IBS/BPAC so that the bidder (OEM or its authorized indian Partner) shall be able to supply the scheme/architecture for implementation of the scheme. For implementing the scheme the existing estimates may be revised for design redundancy/dual detection arrangement with MSDAC to MSDAC instead of track circuit in line with Railway Board letter ref. (i) Accordingly, schemes and write-up is enclosed, herewith.

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.
