Foreword

Railway Signalling has come a long way from Mechanical Signalling, Electro-

Mechanical Signalling to present day Electronics, Communications and

software based Signalling. Block working is an integrated part of Railway

Signalling and this area is also not untouched with regard to modernisation.

Application of Universal Failsafe Block Interface (UFSBI) in Block Working

has improved the safety of operation and eliminated some inherent problems of

conventional system like generally present noise in the transmission system. Its

user friendly and non-cooperative features make its operation smooth for

operating personnel.

As Block Proving by Axle Counter using UFSBI is being installed at a large

number of stations on Indian Railways, CAMTECH has issued this maintenance

handbook for SSEs/JEs and Signal Maintainers to help them in maintaining the

system. The information given in this handbook is compiled in an easy to

understand steps.

I hope that this handbook will be helpful to Signal personnel of Indian Railways

in enhancing their knowledge. I wish them all the success.

Preface

The Universal Fail Safe Block Interface (UFSBI) has applications in Automatic

Signalling, IBS, Gate and slot transfer to reduce the number of copper

conductors. The UFSBI system acts as a failsafe multiplexer for communicating

the commands from one block panel to other in Block Proving by Axle Counter

(BPAC). It has applications in all types of single line and double line block

instruments. Further improvements like provision of Electronic Logic Block

Module (EBLM) for avoiding use of relays in UFSBI cubicle has also been

done.

CAMTECH has prepared this maintenance handbook for SSEs, JEs and Signal

Maintainers maintaining BPAC system using UFSBI in their section. For quick

reference, Maintenance guidelines, Troubleshooting and Pre-commissioning

check lists for systems of RDSO approved manufacturers have been

incorporated in the maintenance handbook.

The system is media independent i.e. it works on Copper cable, OFC or microwave

without hampering the fail-safety of the operation.

The system is triple modular redundant which means increase in availability. This

system also holds the final status using latch relays so that during Power supply or any

failure it remains in last operating state.

The total system (Including UFSBI, Axle Counter and Telephone) can work on Dark

Fibre also. 3 cores (out of 24 Cores) are needed for Single Line and 4 cores for double

line Block operation. Hence it requires no STM or Primary Multiplexers.

Uses Axle Counter for Block Occupied / Free verification & Last Vehicle Check.

Working principle

The trains are worked on Absolute Block system.

Each block section is provided with an Axle Counter to verify the occupation or

clearance of block section and indicated on Block Panel.

It is not possible to take Last Stop Signal to ‘OFF’ unless “LINE CLEAR” has been

obtained from the station in advance.

It is not possible to take “LINE CLEAR” unless block section and an adequate

distance beyond first stop signal of station in advance is clear of trains.

The Last Stop Signal assumes ‘ON’ aspect automatically on entry of train into block

section and retains this ‘ON’ position, till a fresh “LINE CLEAR” is obtained.

Block section automatically shows “TRAIN ON LINE” on block panel when a train

enters into the block section on “LINE CLEAR”.

Audio – Visual alarms for Train entry/exit, to/ from block section are provided and

are to be acknowledged.

“LINE CLOSE” feature is automatic after complete arrival of train.

“LINE CLEAR” cannot be taken without taking consent of receiving station.

“LINE CLEAR” cancellation is Co-operative.

Acknowledgement of alarm through “ACKN” key on the display panel stops the buzzer but

the alarm is still displayed on-line as long as it is continued. The display panel also

accommodates the veeder counter for registering external resets. Three green LED indicators

naming A, B, C indicate to which system card display is connected. B y pressing the SYS

key this connectivity can be changed. Being the “RMT” key pressed, pressing the “ACKN”

key the status of the remote end can be viewed when communication link between local end

& remote end is OK. Otherwise “RMT:STAT UNKNOWN” will be displayed.

Figure 9: Display & Reset Panel front view

Functional Description – Reset Section

When initially power is applied to the system,

(1). The count no. of veeder counter will increase by one as soon as the system passes

through Power on Reset.

(2). The system goes through some initial self checking showing ‘SYSTEM CHECK’. If any

of the checks fails system goes to shutdown. Now the system comes to a point where it

looks for control voltage of the output card showing ‘CNTL. VOLT ABSENT’. When

“CNTL VOLT” switch is pressed momentarily, desired voltage gets available, otherwise

system goes to shutdown. Now the system will transit to SSB state, assuming failure of

inter block communication and will display the message “IB RX FAIL”. When the

system at the other end is also powered ON, the local end system will transit to the

normal state after successful reception of at least three interblock communication packets

and will display the message “SYSTEM OK”.

Procedure – Reset Operation

To Reset and bring the BPAC into operation, follow the following steps:-

Press the “RESET” switch.

Note that the veeder counter value in the panel increase by one.

Wait till the UFSBI completes initial self checking showing “SYSTEM CHECK”.

2.9 Troubleshooting through Alarm display

A 16 character alphanumeric display is used to prompt the various alarm conditions with

short mnemonics for easy understanding of the problem.

As long as no failure occurs in the system, the display remains “SYSTEM OK”. But if any

failure occurs then the buzzer will start beeping and the summarised alarm will come in the

display in the form “MAJOR: X MINOR: Y”, where X & Y are integers. The operator /

maintainer will then have to press the ACKN switch to see the alarm status. As soon as the

ACKN switch is pressed, the buzzer will stop beeping and the relevant faulty message

information will be displayed

The sensing of relays is described in the figures below:

Figure 19: Sensing of relays by Input Cards

(b) CPU Card

The UFSBI system works on a 2 out of 3 majority voting logic i.e. if one CPU card or its

corresponding Input cards goes bad then also system can work. CPU – A read the

Inputs through Input Card 1&2, CPU – B read the Inputs through Input Card 3&4 and

CPU – C read the Inputs through Input Card 5&6. Thereafter the system validates

the data by Inter-processor communication, adds CRC code and send this to CC

card for transmission. On the other end after receiving the data from CC card it decodes

it and sends that to Output card to pick up the Output relay.

(c) Control & Communication Card The CC Card mainly performs two important functions

It drives health check relays (BIPR1 & BIPR 2) and

It converts the data provided by the CPU card as per RS 232 protocol and sends it to

the Modem.

The functioning of CPU and CC Cards is shown in the figure below:

Block Proving By Axle Counter using UFSBI March 2021

The functions of all the components are given below:

Counter

It keeps track of the number of Reset operations taking place. The counter is non-resettable

electro-magnetic type.

RESET Button

Sometimes the power-off and power-on sequence may not lead to display "0b” (ready to

press BI- ON button) on all CPUs. In that case press the RESET button so that the CPUs again

resets itself to show “0b” (ready to press BI-ON button) on all CPUs.

BI-ON Button

This button is required for starting the system. Whenever all the CPUs display “0b”, it

indicates that it is ready for start. The user has to press this button for starting the system.

BZ-ACK Button: This button is required for acknowledging the buzzer whenever it sounds

due to dropping of “Shut down relays” (BIPR1 & BIPR2).

BI-OK IND.: This indication (green) glows when the UFSBI is in working condition.

BI-FAIL IND.: This indication (red) glows when the Block Interface is in failure mode.

LINK FAIL IND.

This indication (yellow) glows steadily when the modem fails to receive any data from

remote station. In normal working condition, when the modem receives data from

remote station, this indication (yellow) will flicker continuously. Flickering of this

indication does not necessarily means that the UFSBI communication is fully established.

Full establishment of UFSBI communication is only decided by seeing “00” in the CPU

cards and O/P relays are picking up.

POWER-ON-RESET Operation

The following steps are to be performed for carrying out the RESET operation of the UFSBI:

Turn off the system power.

Wait for 1 minute.

Power-on the system.

Check the display of the CPU.

Wait till the display on all the CPUs display “0b”

If “0b” is not displayed, try by pressing the RESET button. If the problem persists

check corresponding codes in the error code list and take appropriate action as

Page 68: GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS Maintenance ...

CAMTECH/S/PROJ/2020-21/SP11/1.0 52

Block Proving By Axle Counter using UFSBI March 2021

suggested in the remedial action column.

If all the CPUs display “0b” then press the BI-ON button.

Observe that both BIPR1 and BIPR2 pick up immediately after BI-ON is pressed.

Once BIPR1 and BIPR2 pick up, BI fail (Red) indication goes off and BI OK (Green)

indication comes on.

Link fail (Yellow) steady indication goes off & starts flickering as soon as the modem

starts communicating with remote station modem and all the CPU’s display “00”

RESET Operation

The following steps are to be performed for carrying out the RESET operation of the UFSBI:

Press the Reset Button and see that the display in all 3 CPU’s becomes “--“Wait till

the display on all the CPUs display “0b”

If “0b” is not displayed, try by pressing the RESET button. If the problem persists

check corresponding codes in the error code list and take appropriate a ction as

suggested in the remedial action column.

If all the CPUs display “0b” then press the BI-ON button.

Observe that both BIPR1 and BIPR2 pick up immediately after BI-ON is pressed.

Once BIPR1 and BIPR2 pick up, BI fail (Red) indication goes off and BIOK (Green)

indication comes on.

Link fail (Yellow) steady indication goes off & starts flickering as soon as the modem

starts communicating with remo te station modem and all the CPU’s display “00”

(g) UFSBI Alarm Panel The UFSBI alarm panel is provided at SM room to give preventive alarm for single CPU failure,

Redundant DC-DC converter failure and System total failure.

Figure 29: UFSBI Alarm Panel Front & Rear view

2. ACKN. Button for redundant DC-DC Converter: To mute the buzzer if any module

of DC-DC converter goes bad.

3. ACKN. Button for system failure: To mute the buzzer if UFSBI system goes to shut

down mode.

4. Indication (R) for Single CPU fail: It glows when any one of the CPU of UFSBI goes bad

and remains “ ON” till the fault rectified.

5. Indication (R) for Redundant DC-DC: It glows when any module of DC-DC converter

goes bad and remains “ O N” till the fault rectified.

6. Indication (R) for system failure: It glows when UFSBI system goes to shut down

mode and remains “ ON” till the fault rectified.

Note

The System failure indication (audio & visual) would be “ON” till the UFSBI functioning

normally (BIPR1 and BIPR2 picks up).

3.3 UFSBI Address Configuration Jumpers The Address Configuration jumpers are set in the Connector side of the motherboard. A pattern

of this jumper setting is shown below:

Figure 30: Pattern of Address Configuration Jumpers

The TX Address of one unit should correspond with the RX Address of other unit. The

same type of settings should not be used in the adjacent pair of units.

Enhanced Availability which is only achieved by parallel wiring of relay rack at site thereby

reducing time of installation.

3.9 Maintenance

Preventive maintenance

Power supply: regular check on power supply units such as battery banks, battery charger

and DC-DC converters is mandatory to prevent equipment faults and malfunctioning.

Relays: Special care and testing is required for those relays which are to be used after long

storage. No attempt is to be made to repair a relay. Always new relay should be used.

Maintenance of Communication Link

Telecom cable is to be protected from injury during other kinds of installation at its

vicinity.

If disconnection of cable is required, the c able terminal is to be refitted firmly.

The loss of signal due to defective cable is to be kept under check.

The display indication “33” indicates link failure. If the modem is found to be O.K, next to

be checked is the telecom c able.

Maintenance of Equipment

UFSBI unit will automatically trip-off if the Battery supply goes below 19.2V & above

28.8V DC. In case of repeated trip-off, both the DC supply level and the loading are

to be checked. A healthy UFSBI should not draw more than 1.8 Amp DC.

No attempt of “resetting” is to be made in case of supply impairment or link failure.

If a faulty UFSBI system is not brought ba ck to normal after “resetting” one must

check:

If there is any loosely fitted connector or improperly pressed PCB module.

Connecting leads inserted in Terminal.

The DC supply levels of the DC-DC converter.

For specific information on faults, refer “UFSBI Error Code List”.

Once a fault is found, the user should not attempt repairing at component level. The

impaired module / PCB needs to be replaced by a spare one.

Card failure For any Hard failure i.e. components/ IC’s failure in Cards the corresponding codes will be shown in

the CPU cards. Power OFF the system then Power On the system again. If it does not solve the

problem change the corresponding card. The main reason of this hard type of failure are Improper

Battery Charger, Battery Charger without Battery bank, Improper earthing, Direct Lightning. So

before inserting a new card ensures these are proper.

This system is 2/3 Active Redundant system so if any one CPU card fails the system can continue to

work without any hindrance in block working operation but Single CPU failure alarm will come to the

SM room so that maintainer can attend the system and rectify the fault, as a preventive measure.

DC-DC converter failure DC-DC converter used in UFSBI is Dual redundant hot standby type. So any of the module fails

system can work as each module is capable of taking full load of UFSBI on it’s rated voltage. Like

CPU, redundant DC-DC converter failure indication is also extended to the SM’s room.

The Following Cards has to be replaced during the following error codes showing in all the 3 CPUs:

.

Error Code Card To be Replaced

01, 02, 05, 07, 08, 0A, 3A, 73, 7A, 7B, A0,

A1, A2,A3,A4, A5,A6,A7,A8, B5,B6,

E2, E8,E9, EB, EC, ED, FA, FB, FD

CCC

93 O/P 1 then O/P 2

95, AA O/P 1

96, AB O/P 2

If these errors are shown in only one CPU change the corresponding CPU card.

Please note that before changing any of the card perform at least TWO Power-On-Resets to

ensure that card is permanently damaged not a temporary hang.

For Detailed failure Code Refer Failure Code List.
