1.4 Description
1 The Mark IV Tamper is used for production and switch tamping, and transit system work. The
Hydraulic Drive (HD) model incorporates a direct drive two speed gearbox on both the front and
rear axles that provide full time four wheel drive in either the Travel or Work Mode.
The machine is equipped with Jupiter II control system and System V software. Ergonomic
operator control is provided through arm panel keypads, joysticks, a USB keyboard and a 17
inch touch screen color monitor used as the graphical interface.
The Jupiter II (J2) Control System utilizes a Control Area Network (CAN) communications
scheme to read and control Input / Output (I/O) modules distributed remotely around the
machine. These modules are placed strategically to be in close proximity to the devices with
which they interact.
The advanced System V control system delivers accurate, repeatable results and effective
operator interface for computer controlled automatic ramping, super-elevation, zeroing of
references, and continuous cross level monitoring.
The four heavy-duty vibrator assemblies are powered by hydraulic motors designed to allow
one workhead to tamp one rail independently of the other. Tamping of unevenly spaced or
skewed ties is simplified by manually adjustable tamping tool position. Tamping tools for
individual workheads can be positioned closer together (squeezed in) prior to the work cycle,
allowing insertion in areas of tight tie spacing. Workhead depth can be varied from within the
cab using operator-defined settings on the pop-out workhead panel. This panel also displays
the current workhead position along with the upper position (standby) and the lower position
(squeeze) for each workhead. This increases productivity by automatically returning the
workheads to a lower standby position when indexing during production runs (Production
Mode), and to a higher position when moving workheads through a switch or turnout (Switch
Mode).
A fully enclosed, sound suppressed and insulated cab is mounted on rubber isolators that is
accessible from either side of the machine via a rear platform equipped with conventional stair
type steps. The rubber isolators provide an excellent ride comfort for the operator and added
protection for electronic components. The operator has an unobstructed view of the work area
and all machine operation, and safety lock controls are within comfortable reach. Front and rear
wipers and a dual tone air horn are included.
Front / rear and left / right are determined from the operator's seat in the cab. The lining /
surfacing buggy is located on the front of the machine and the cab / operator's seat is located
on the rear of the machine. The jacking / tamping components are located on both the left and
right sides of the machine.

SECTION 2.2 - OPERATION
JUPITER II
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. Jupiter II is the newest generation of Harsco Rail’s Jupiter Control System developed to
meet the demanding computer control requirements of railway maintenance equipment.
2.2 2. Jupiter II enhances the proven performance, ruggedness, reliability, speed, simplicity and
diagnostic capability of the Jupiter Control System. The distributed I/O intelligent control
system uses the Jupiter Application Master (JAM) to communicate with the Control Area
Network (CAN) I/O Modules strategically positioned around the machine to be in close
proximity to the devices with which they interact. Industrial network cables connect the
CAN I/O modules.
3. One of the many features of Jupiter II is the comprehensive and powerful diagnostic
capabilities to assist when isolating and correcting failures and knowing that every
component is under continuous diagnostic scrutiny from the moment the computer is
booted up. With these features, it is frequently possible to identify problems before they
become disabling.
4. The "plug and play" capability of Jupiter allows modules to be exchanged between
completely different machines with ease. All devices that connect to the Jupiter Control
System incorporate connectors to facilitate rapid field replacement. The majority of the
cables in the system are identical and vary only in length. Only a few spare cables, equal
in length to the longest in actual use, need be carried to make it possible to replace any
cable on a machine.
1. The use of Jupiter II remote I/O devices helps simplify electrical systems through:
1. The rugged design of the Jupiter II modules improves the reliability of the electrical control
system. Jupiter II modules are built to operate at extreme temperatures of -40° C to
+70° C. All modules are IP67 rated (waterproof), CE labeled and fully potted for extreme
vibrations. Pre-molded cables and cord sets eliminate field wiring and reduce the
likelihood of open and/or short circuits. Each module provides a layer of electrical (and
logical) isolation from the rest of the system thereby containing problems and simplifying
repair. The increased capacity of output channels handles a wide range of load conditions.
1. The modular design of the Jupiter II Control System makes it possible to install Jupiter on
small machines as well as large complex machines. This feature will lead to a common
control system on an entire fleet of machines. The use of common control system

such as; relays, lights, alarms, etc. Outputs are one amp max per channel (8 amps max for
the module with one field power cable connected or 16 amps max for the module with two
field power cables connected). This module is used when there is a high volume of digital
devices in an area that are being controlled or monitored.
a. The High Density Digital Module interfaces with machine components in much the
same way as the standard Digital Module.
b. One major difference is the High Density Digital Module offers 32 channels which can
be either input or output channels depending on the software programming while the
standard Digital Module has 16 input channels and 8 output channels.
c. The other major difference is how the wires are connected to the High Density Digital
Module. The standard Digital Module has eight 5 pin M12 connectors while the High
Density Digital Module has 32 connectors where wires can be connected directly.

2.2.1 Jupiter II Control System
1. The diagnostic screens incorporated into Jupiter II can be used to troubleshoot electrical
systems and electrical components that are controlled or monitored by Jupiter. In some
applications, not all components and systems on the machine can be checked or
2.2 monitored by Jupiter.
2. When the computer detects a fault in the Jupiter network on the machine, it will generate
an alarm message that appears in the alarm panel on the computer monitor. The type of
alarm message will determine the most practical troubleshooting procedure.
3. If an alarm message would appear such as "Low Fuel", then the first thing to check would
be the fuel level in the fuel tank. If the fuel tank is not empty, then the Jupiter diagnostic
screens would be used to check for short circuits, voltage problems, etc.
4. If an alarm message would appear such as "Output Module Open Circuit Detected", then
the first thing to check would be the diagnostic screens to determine which module has the
open circuit and what is causing the open circuit at that module. In most cases, when a
fault occurs that can be checked by the diagnostic screens, the network diagnostic screen
will automatically be displayed on the monitor. The operator can then select the detail view
of the module on which the fault has occurred and determine where the open circuit is.
1. Several functions on the machine are controlled using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
2. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a method of controlling the amount of power to a load
without having to dissipate any power in the load driver.
3. As an example, imagine a 10W light bulb load supplied from a battery. In this case the
battery supplies 10W of power and the light bulb converts this 10W into light and heat. No
power is lost anywhere else in the circuit. If we wanted to dim the light bulb so it only
absorbed 5W of power, we could place a resistor in series which absorbed 5W and then
the light bulb could absorb the other 5W. This would work, but the power dissipated in the
resistor not only makes it get very hot, but is wasted. The battery is still supplying 10W.
4. An alternative way is to switch the light bulb on and off very quickly so that it is only on for
half of the time. Then the average power taken by the light bulb is still only 5W and the
average power supplied by the battery is only 5W also. If we wanted the bulb to take 6W,
we could leave the switch on for a little longer than the time it was off and then a little more
average power will be delivered to the bulb.
5. This on-off switching is called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The amount of power
delivered to the load is proportional to the percentage of time that the load is switched on.

a. When the lift applied exceeds the range of the Lift Slider, the lift numerical value must
be read from this info box.
b. The info box does not indicate a plus symbol (+) for a positive increase of applied lift
or a minus symbol (-) for a negative decrease of applied lift, only the value of the
applied lift in the indicated direction of the Arrow Indicators.
4. The cyan arrow Direction Indicators (3) indicate whether the lift being applied is positive or
negative. A positive increase of lift is indicated by an up arrow and a negative decrease of
lift is indicated by a down arrow.
5. The Manual Correction Lift Slider (4) displays the total amount of any manual lift correction
that is applied when using Auto Ramp (track that is pre-recorded). The slider will highlight
green to indicate a positive increase of lift being applied or highlight red to indicate a
negative decrease of lift being applied.
6. When using optional pre-recorded surface data, System V can automatically vary the lift to
compensate for errors at the projector, to minimize the lift and to automatically work into
and out of fixed points (i.e. bridge). The operator retains full control at all times and may
increase or decrease the value of lift being applied by the computer. Such adjustments will
be shown in the left Manual Correction Slider.
7. The lift expressed by the right Lift Slider (1) corresponds to the lift that will be applied on
the next cycle to the track. When the track being tamped has not been pre-recorded, this
value will be an average value and will exclude variations in lift arising from track errors.
When System V is automatically controlling lift from pre-recorded surface data, the
indicated lift value should accurately reflect actual lift for a properly calibrated machine in
good conditions. Poor conditions such as inadequate or foul ballast may result in

2.2.15 Surface Graph Panel - See Figure 2.2-30
1. The Surface Graph Panel on the Work or Tie Finder Screens displays the following:
3. When the track ahead of the machine has been recorded with the Surface Fitting Software
Option, the green trace line represents the surface profile for the left rail and the magenta
trace line represents the surface profile for the right rail. Surface profiles are calculated
results based on measurements made when the track is recorded. The yellow trace line
marks the surface fit that is used to establish the lift to be applied. The desired surface fit is
computed automatically by the built-in surface fitting functions, or it can be set manually
using the "rubber banding" edit control points available from the Expanded Track View
Screen when the machine has the Surface Fitting Software Option.
4. For surface recordings, high points are to the left and low points are to the right on the
second panel shown. The distance from the yellow fit trace line to the green or magenta
trace lines is an estimation of the amount each rail will be lifted. Note that inadequate
ballast or poor conditions will reduce the accuracy of this estimate. If the track has not
been recorded, the distance of the yellow fit trace line to the zero or base line is a measure
of the overall lift being applied. The actual lift will be more or less, depending upon any
track errors.
a. Any manual adjustment to the recorded surface is displayed in the left slider of the Lift
Panel.
b. Surface Fit Option: When plotting a curve with the surface projector ON, turn ON the
Surface Fit Option. When plotting a curve with the surface projector OFF, turn OFF
the Surface Fit Option. After a curve is plotted, the Surface Fit Option cannot be
turned ON or OFF.
5. Moving the yellow fit trace line to the left increases the lift and to the right decreases the lift.
The vertical arrow indicators on the panel will indicate this. When the current surface lift
value given by the yellow fit trace line is greater than zero, the left arrow Indicator (2) turns
red. When less than zero, the right arrow Indicator (3) turns red. When zero, neither arrow
Indicator (2 - 3) turns red. The value displayed on the Lift Slider will match the magnitude
of the yellow fit trace line at the bottom of the panel (current footage).
