SPECIFICATION FOR STICK TYPE MASTER CONTROLLER

FOR 25 KV AC LOCOMOTIVE
1.0 FORWARD:

The master controller is human machine interface used by driver to drive the
locomotive. The Master controller has to perform three basic functions i.e.
Controlling the progression, regression and braking of locomotive.
This specification is intended to define the technical requirements of Stick type
Master controller (STMC) to be used in existing and new tap changer locomotives
and the interface requirements.
This revised specification supersedes the earlier technical specification No.
ELRS/SPEC/MP/0040/Rev.0 (Dec 2005).
1.1 Stick Type Master Controller (STMC) shall be based on Modular Concept for
Microprocessor type as well as Non Microprocessor type 25 KV AC Electric
Locomotives. The system should have the added advantages over the earlier
system such as:-
i) It should have substantially lesser weight (not more than 24 Kg) in
comparison to conventional wheel type Controller of 40 Kg.
ii) It should acquire lesser space not more than (400 mm length x 250 mm
width). Height of the equipment should be not more than 170 mm max
without handle making it comfortable for driver to operate master controller
in sitting posture.
iii) The operational aspects of stick type master controller should be similar to
conventional wheel type controller.
1.3 Any deviation from the standards laid down with a view to improve the
performance, utility and efficiency of the equipment will be given due
consideration provided full particulars with technical justification and adequate
data to enhance the performance of equipment is given. However no major
deviation in the specified over all dimensions of mounting, cable routing, over all
space requirement specific to depth of controller shall be allowed. The master
controller has to be cam shaft switch type only.

controller. Cam switch program is different for every type of locomotive,
hence cams fixing arrangement should be such that cams can be replaced
if circuit modification is done on locomotive and changes are required on
controller.
ii) All cam switches, springs and rollers should be replaceable without much
dismantling.
iii) Material used on handles should be environmental friendly and should not
cause any damage to human skin while in operation.
iv) The components are to be designed as guide fit with no use of locating or
dowels to set the angular rotation of cams with shaft.
v) The Master Controller should be mechanically interlocked as defined in
clause 6.0 of this specification.
vi) Mounting should be with 4 nos. M6 type holes.
vii) Handle bar should be of minimum 12 mm diameter of stainless steel.

viii) To reduce the repair or replacement of sub-assemblies the controller shall

be designed in such a way so that all regular replaceable components i.e.,
springs, rollers, cam switches and critical & periodic maintenance
schedules are done within 30 minutes. The RDSO may ask for
demonstration during type test.
ix) The marking of label should be engraved in the top plate.
5.2 Operating Handles:
The Stick type Master controller will have three handles as detailed below for
complete operations as in conventional master controller. All these handles shall
be mechanically interlocked with each other in similar fashion so as the drivers
should have the same feel while driving the locomotive.
5.2.1 Reverser (MPJ) Key :
The reverser key (MPJ) should be of CLW type. Same CLW make key to be
inserted in same vertical plane as in old conventional type master controller.
Operation of the reverser key should be same as conventional key which will be
inserted and press down by right hand palm and move the handle in desire
position by left hand.

The key can only be inserted or withdrawn from controller at „0‟ position. Key
handle should be mechanically linked to the camshaft to actuate the cam
switches mounted on every individual cam. There should be minimum 6 NC
combination of cam switches. Cam switches should confirm to CLW drawing no
3TWD.101.138.
5.2.2 Throttle Handle (MP Handle):
