1. System Overview
Existing electric locomotives working on Indian Railways are having conventional control and interlocking of its different circuits for its safe operation. These are achieved through an array of Electro-mechanical and Electro-pneumatic relays and contractors. Such relay-based control involves a large amount of cabling and a number of interlocking contacts and interconnections, which are not only maintenance intensive but are unreliable too.

Interlocking of relays inside the loco was used to have some predefined sequence of operation for proper operation of the different functional blocks of the loco. For this purpose, interlocking of the relays are used to derive some combinatorial, sequential and delay logic circuits Other than this, the purpose of the relays is to ensure the safety of the loco against malfunctioning of the various electrical equipments due to their different modes of failures. Further, failure of the relay contacts often makes the situation more complicated.

In the existing loco, in case of any fault, it is very difficult to locate the actual root cause. This not only increases the down-time of the locos, its servicing and maintenance also becomes difficult. Identification of the exact fault condition and its correct maintenance is important to maintain the healthy condition of loco.

The objective of the project MICRO PROCESSOR BASED CONTROL AND FAULT DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM is primarily to locate the faults for its correct maintenance. Another objective of the system is to replace some existing relays and its corresponding interlocking logic with software to reduce the cost and complexity of wiring and to add certain diagnostic features for better maintenance of the loco.

2. Design Considerations
The heart of the system is obviously the microprocessor, which acquires the status of the relays and some analog parameters, processes the information and issues control outputs to operate and control the various electrical equipments inside the loco. The purpose of the loco is to run passenger or goods train from one location to another. Hence, safety of the passengers is one of the prime considerations for all the interlocking, be it derived through relays or through electronics & software. Failure to ensure its safe operation may also lead to loss of property.

Implementation of such protection and operational logics through electronic hardware and software is much more critical because of the numerous failure modes that are observed with such systems. Although the basic objective of such system is quite simple, one needs to ensure the correctness of the input data, its processing and the output status with a certain degree of confidence. Components might fail as part of its inherent characteristics. But it is essential to ensure that in case of any malfunction due to a failure, the control system does not lead the loco to an unsafe condition. A safety level for such systems have been designated by various international bodies and is typically 107 to 10-8 / hour (Safety Integrity Level, SIL3). With single processor system, the level that can be achieved is typically 10-6 to 10-7 / hour or even worse depending on the design methodology. Safety level of such system is considerably enhanced by the use of testability at various levels and dual hardware redundancy in the hardware. Use of hot-standby processor does not necessarily enhance the safety level since there are quite a few failure modes, which a single processor system fails to identify and subsequently lead to a safe condition. Availability is another important requirement of such system since due to any failure if the system ceases to work, there will be disruption of service, which may lead to inconvenience to the passengers, although it may be safe.

Thus considering both safety and availability of the equipment, the architecture adapted in the present system is 2-out-of-2 operations with full hardware redundancy in the input and processor level. Output drive is combined for both since it would the same relay or contactor. However, each of the subsystem has its own redundancy and testability to ensure its individual function. Normal operation will be carried out based on 2-out-of-2 voting in taking all the logic processing and vital decisions. However, in case of a failure in one set of hardware, the second set would continue its operation but with an alarm, ensuring a certain degree of safety.

Redundancy alone does not guarantee fail-safe operation of equipment. For a redundant system to function properly in presence of a fault, the redundancy must be managed properly. Redundancy management issues are closely interrelated to ensure the reliability, availability and safety issues for such systems. One of the key issues for such architecture is the synchronization of the two processors so that both of them get the same data and processes the output for the 2-out-of-2 voting process.

3.

System Architecture

The basic architecture adapted for the Fault Diagnostic and Control System is shown in Fig. I. Each individual processor has its own digital and analog input cards. Each status input is read by each processor through two separate optoisolators to ensure the correctness of input data individually through dual redundancy. Correctness of analog inputs is assured by feeding of the same signal through multiple paths using separate hardware. Outputs of both the processors are combined in the output card to drive the external relays. The Multi-function card gives the synchronization pulse to run the two processors in collusion. It also has the necessary selection logic to select the processor, which will download all the necessary information to the display units based on the keyboard interaction. It also drives the safety relay, which will ensure the

safety of the system under the worst-case condition of multiple failures in the system by withdrawing the power to drive some of the vital external relays of the loco. All the status inputs are available in the form of 110 VDC input for ON condition and no voltage for OFF condition. Analog voltages are available in very high voltage, which are attenuated in the signal-conditioning box and then fed to the analog module. Six TM currents are sensed through the voltage drop at shunt of Traction Motor by means of low voltage. Isolation amplifiers are used for feeding each input to the processor after proper scaling. All the outputs are driven by solid-state switch with short-circuit protection to drive the external relays with 110VDC. Elaborate testability at the output has been kept to ensure the integrity of the output status.

Each of the two processors interfaces to the I/O modules through separate I/O bus so that in case one of failure of one of the busses, the other can still continue with the operation. Communication between the two processors is carried out through inter-processor communication bus to carry out the voting process. The processors have individual health lines which are also interchanged to crosscheck the proper functioning of the system. One USB port is provided in each CPU card to download the data to USB memory device or Pen Drive.

The system uses two display units to prompt the various status and alarm conditions of the loco. A 40 alphanumeric character x 4 lines LCD display unit is used for this purpose. It also has two segments 7-SEG Display to display the current notch position. Five numbers of keys are provided to enable the user to browse through the status and fault condition of the loco. The display unit receives +110V power from LOCO battery i.e. from wire no. 700. This unit has a built in power supply module to convert +110V to +5V and +12V.

The lowest sub-rack contains two Processor cards, one Multifunction card, one Analog Input cards and two Power Supply card. In the middle sub-rack there are eight Input cards, out of these one is redundant card and one is spare card. All the external input wires are routed from the backplane to the terminating 19/17 pin circular (bayonet type) connectors mounted on the cabinet. The uppermost sub-rack houses five output cards, out of these three for 48 O/P, one is redundant and one is s spare output card, which are common for both the A & B processors. The uppermost sub-rack also has one card called filter card. All the external output wires are similarly extended from the backplane to the 19 pin circular connectors placed on the cabinet. The front side of the cabinet is a detachable door. The door is also provided with a lock to protect the system from unauthorized access. The rear side of the cabinet is having four M12 nuts to fit the system to AC2 panel wall.

Normally the FDCS can accept 128 digital inputs (96 I/P for 6 I/P card, 16 I/P for one Redundant I/P card, 16 for one spare I/P card) and 12 analog inputs and can drive up to 80 digital outputs (48 O/P for 3 O/P card, 16 O/P for one Redundant O/P card, 16 for one spare O/P card). The inputs enter to the FDCS through 7 no. of 19 pin allied connectors (one is redundant) and outputs goes out from the system through 4 no of 19 pin allied connectors (one is redundant). A 3-pin bayonet type connector is used for 110V DC power supply. The connectors are fitted on the topside of the cabinet. The cables for inputs/outputs used are 19 core PTFE insulated 90% shielded type of 1 sq. mm. Outer jacketing of FRLS material is of suitable grade. One end of the cables is terminated to the allied connector and other end is terminated at 2.5 sq. mm cable lugs for M5 terminal stud with loco cable number of ferrules. The cables used for power inputs are of 3 sq. mm are of suitable grade. The interconnection of various connectors of FDCS main cabinet, display units, and signal conditioning box, Traction Motor

Current Sensing box and AC 2 Panels SB terminal is described later. The diagram of box mounting type allied connector in the control unit is shown in figure 2A. There is a mechanical polarization difference among the bayonet type connectors. Therefore the interchangeability among the input and output connectors is ruled out. Wiring details of various connectors are shown in table 1.Position of various racks, connectors of a typical FDCS are shown in figure 2. The display unit functions as an interface between the operator and the system. Each FDCS system consists of two display boxes, one in master cabinet (CAB A) and the other in rear cabinet (CAB B). In each box there is one display CPU along with one display keyboard and a power supply card. In display unit there is one 4X40 character LCD, two seven segment LED, one red LED, one buzzer and eight keys. Communication is held between the display and main unit trough RS485 serial port using 10 pin bayonet connector. The display panel diagram of the display system is shown in figure 3.

Each FDCS system consists of one signal-conditioning box. In this box there is one signal-conditioning card. High voltage analog inputs are terminated on the card through 6-way M5 terminal strip, which is fitted one side of the box. The voltages are down converted to 2.0V. These down voltage signals pass through 10-pin allied connector to FDCS main system, which is, fitted another side of the box.

Each FDCS system consists of two traction motor current sensing box. In this box there is one traction motor current sensing card. Low voltage (range between 45mV to 75mV) analog inputs are terminated on the card through 6-way and 2way M5 terminal strip, which is fitted at side of the box. The voltages are converted to 1.0V. These voltage signals pass through 10-pin allied connector to FDCS main system, which is, fitted another side of the box.

6. Relay Logic Description


An array of relays and contactors is currently used inside the loco for protection of the various electrical equipments and its operation in a desired sequence. The functional blocks that are intended to be replaced by the Microprocessor based Fault Diagnostic and Control System are described below. The system would realize these functional blocks through software and activate the respective contactors and power relays to maintain the same operational condition of the loco.

6.1

PANTO GRAPH CONTROL CIRCUIT

Current from overhead is controlled by means of two pantographs, PT-1 and PT2. These are operated by hand-operated switch ZPT-1 & ZPT-2.Compressed air pressure is used to connect and disconnect the pantograph from the overhead high tension wire. To raise the pantograph in CAB-1 or CAB-2, the corresponding two relays VEPT1 or VEPT-2 are energized, depending on the status of the switch ZPT-1 or ZPT-2. In position O of the two switches ZPT-1 & ZPT-2, both the pantographs are OFF, i.e. VEPT-1 & VEPT-2 are not energized.

6.2

BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION

The battery charger is fed from the supply of ARNO/Static converter. The charger unit provides 110V DC and a load of 20 amps. A relay QV-61 has been provided across the charger, indicating its working. As long as charger is ON, QV-61 is energized and the signaling lamp LSCHBA remains OFF.

6.3: OPERATION OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER (MTDJ):


The electro valve MTDJ (O0) controls the high voltage circuit breaker DJ. The breaker is closed by means of the electro-valve EFDJ. The breaker (DJ) is closed as long as the MTDJ is closed. If MTDJ is interrupted by any of the relay contact

in its path then DJ will be tripped resulting disconnection of power feeding from the 25 KV HT overhead. CONDITIONS OF CLOSSING DJ:
1. 2.

BL key in CAB-1 or CAB-2 must be inserted and switched to ON position. After this, Q45 have to be ON. The conditions required for this are: a. BP1DJ closed b. BL1DJ/BL2DJ closed c. ZPT1/ZPT2 closed (Alternately BV closed) and d. BL1RDJ/BLR2DJ pressed and released as soon as LSDJ OFF. A. For ARNO based Loco :Now Q118 is to be energized. For this, the conditions required are: a. C118 must be de-energized, b. Blower motors must be OFF so that C105, C106, C107 de-energized, Q46 de-energized (between-notch relay) and c. GR within 0 to 5 Notches. B. For Static Converter based Loco:Now Q118 is to be energized. For this, the conditions required are: a. Blower motors must be OFF so that C105, C106, C107 de-energized, Q46 de-energized (between-notch relay) and b. GR within 0 to 5 Notches. As Q118 energized, Q44 will be ON provided Q45 closed. ASMGR full Notch contact available and GR-0 contact is there.

starting phase by R118 and so Q30 will be ON. And Q44 will be latched through Q30. B. For Static Converter based Loco:As QV60 is in OFF condition, through NC contact of QV60, SI will get ON. It causes 440V A.C feed in wire no. 991 and 993 i.e. output of SI, by which Q30 gets on via resistance RQ30. Thus Q44 will be latched through Q30. 6. A. For ARNO based Loco :As C118 energized, DJ starting coil EFDJ will be energized. On opening of C118 (after ARNO starting) EFDJ will be de-energized but DJ will be hold by MTDJ. B. For Static Converter based Loco:As Q45 is energized, DJ starting coil EFDJ will be energized through NC contact of DJ and N/O contact of Q45 (This N/O contact gets closed in this condition). As EFDJ is energized, NC contact of DJ will open. Hence EFDJ will be de-energized but DJ will be hold by MTDJ. 7. The number of protection relays, such as QOA, QLA, QLM, QOP-1, QOP2, QRSI-1, QRSI-2 and QPDJ should be closed. 8. When Blower motors are ON after DJ closing, C105, C106, C107 will be energized, so the NC chain of the above 3 relays in the path of Q118 will be opened. Since Q118 is a time lag relay, it will be dropped after 5 sec, so that the path remains closed till the chain of protective relays QVMT-1, QVMT-2, QVRH, QVSL-1, QVSL-2, QPH, QCVAR close the alternate path.

Upon blower motors protective relays QVMT-1, QVMT-2, QVRH and QVSL 1-2 as well as upon failure of the oil pump via protective relay QPH and for ARNO based Loco through relay QCVAR also. During normal operation QVMT-1, QVMT-2, QVRH, QVSL 1-2, QPH and QCVAR for ARNO based Loco remain closed and auxiliary contacts (C105, C106, and C107 &Q44) remain opened. In case of any failure the associated protections relay open, the relay Q118 drop out in 5 sec. If the tap changer comes to a standstill at any particular notch while notching down with master controller on 0 position, relay Q46 is energized (contacts opened), thereby switching off the relay Q118. The relay Q46 is constantly switched on and off until the tap changer has reached zero position. Note: It is possible to put the switch HVMT1, HVMT2, HVRH, HVSL1, HVSL2, HPH in position 0 or 3 to override the contacts. In case of HQCVAR, 0 is the overriding position

Normally, the relay Q44 is switched by the contact of Q45, if the GR is not there in between two notches (stuck at notch faults) and Q118 has picked up. On closing of Q44 and Q45 the ARNO starting contactor coil C118 gets energized to generate a phase difference between the voltage and current for starting the ARNO which is a single phase induction motor. C118 is cut by the excitation of the relay QCVAR (N/C).

The starting of the motors for the traction motor blower and the transformer oil cooler are in the following sequence. 1. 2. 3. Closing the BL1VMT/BL2VMT Q100 is already closed (since DJ is closed and C118 is opened). keeping the disconnecting switch for oil cooler blower motor HVRH in position 1 or 3. Coil of C107 gets energized and transformer oil cooling blower motor gets started. 4. When the relay C107 is energized, the time delay relay QTD105 gets energized after a time delay of 5 seconds and its contact energized the coil C105 if the disconnecting switch for traction motor blower no.1 HVMT-1 is in 1 or 3 position and also energized the time delay relay QTD106 after a delay of 5 seconds. The contact of QTD106 energized the relay C106 if the disconnecting switch for traction motor blower no.2 HVMT-2 is in 1 or 3 position. The relay C105 & C106 latches the contacts by the self-contact C105 and C106. 5. For WAG-7 Loco having Static Inverter has C108 relay also. If C145 is in ON condition and C107 in OFF condition only then C108 will be energized. In WAP-4 Loco, C108 is not available. Note: Driver can switch off the blower motor contactors C107, C105, and C106 by directly putting the disconnecting switches HVRH, HVMT-1 and HVMT-2 in position 0 or 2 respectively.

6.6 COMPRESSOR MOTOR CONTROL


GENERAL DESCRIPTION The compressor motor contactors C101, C102, and C103 are energized, if any of the key BLCP and valve RGCP or BLCPD is closed, and also the relay Q100 is closed and HCP is not in position 0 (The position of HCP determines how many of compressor motors will be started at a time). When no compressor motor has been

started, the relay for unloaded valve Q119 is under energized condition through a chain of NC contacts of C101, C102, C103 and the N/O contact of Q119 make unloaded valves VEUL1-3 energized. Unloaded valves are electro-pneumatic valves work to avoid the backpressure of the delivery pipe at the time of starting of compressors. First C101 and C103 are energized which results opening of path for Q119 coil. The path of C102 is closed through N/C contact of Q119. So C102 starts after dropping of Q119. The purpose of unloaded valves is served through the 5 time lag of Q119.

Supervision takes place via the auxiliary contacts of reverser CTF[R] CTF [B]. The traction/braking switch CTF1-3 with pneumatic control connects the power circuits of motors for traction or braking. Both J1-2 and CTF1-3 can be changed over the 0 position of GR.

NOTCHING IN LOCO
Inside the Loco, the main transformer (primary fed by 25 KV) comprises one autotransformer with 32 taps (called notches) and a step down transformer with two separate secondary. The primary of the step-down transformer is connected to one of 32 taps of the autotransformer by means of 32-step tap changer GR, which is driven by a pneumatic servomotor SMGR. The passage from one tap of transformer to another takes place on load. When GR value is increasing it is called notch-up of the loco and when decreasing it is called notch-down. Notching is held during running

/braking condition of loco. Running/Braking is controlled by master controller MP called Running /Braking drum and Forward/Reverse is controlled by reversing drum MPJ. MPJ can be operated only when MP is at position 0 (mechanically locked). In the loco there is adequate arrangement to ensure that the tap changer always moves only one notch at a time. FUNCTIONALITY OVERVIEW: If Master Controller MP in + position with RUN /BRK, SMGRVE-1 UP valve will be activated. If it is in - position with RUN /BRK, SMGRVE-1 DOWN valve will be activated. Instead of Master Controller push button switch for operating GR motor in progression BPP1-2 can be used for notching up and push button switch for GR motor in regression BPR1-2 can be used for notching down. The relay EVPHER will be ON after 5notch. A) Tap changer down valve SMGRVE2 DOWN is energized both for the running braking drum MP at running and braking position, provided 1. ZSMS must be in position 1(ON). 2. ZSMGR is ON. 3. GR is in 1 to 32 in any of the valid position. 4. Notch to notch relay Q52 and slip protection relay Q51 must not be energized. 5. The relay Q50 must be closed. B) Tap changer down valve SMGRVE1 UP is energized both for the running braking drum MP at running and braking position, provided 1. ZSMS must be in position 1(ON). 2. ZSMGR is ON. 3. GR is in 0 to 31 in any of the valid position. 4. Notch to notch relay Q52 and slip protection relay Q51 must not be energized. 5. The relay Q50 must be closed.

To ensure safety, there exists the arrangement of auto regression i.e. tap changer automatically comes to zero from any high notch value. Auto regression occurs in case of ARNO over voltage or wheel slip or fall in brake Pipe pressure monitored by air brake governor as follows: a. In case of ARNO over voltage, auto regression occurs via Q20 b. In case of wheel slip, auto regression occurs via Q48. c. In case of fall in brake pipe pressure, auto regression occurs via QRS relay which causes energizing of Q51 and so auto regression. d. If relay Q50 is de-energized in any case then auto regression Takes place via Q50. 6.10. BRAKE FAIL PROTECTION VALVE IP (MECHANICAL BRAKE) IP valve is generally used for braking when normal brake fails to work properly. It is generally electrically operated mechanical brake. Operation of IP valve is controlled by FDCS. It is Output22 of FDCS. If Out22 is in ON condition, IP valve is in de-energized condition hence no braking. If Out22 is in OFF condition, IP valve is in energized condition hence mechanical brake come in to work. This Output will ON if 1. Q30 is ON or CTF is in Braking side and 2. MP in Braking side or Input73 (GR 0_5 for WAG-7, GR 11_32 for WAP-4) is in ON condition.

6.11. SHUNTING CONTACTORS


In order to increase the balancing speed, three steps of shunting are used for field weakening. The shunting operation is done under running condition controlled by field weakening controller of master controller MPS1-2. Four shunting steps, Sx1, Sx2, Sx3A, and Sx3B are introduced in MPS1-2. This shunting is valid only in notch position 20 and onwards.

Page 25 of 69

For WAP-4 type Locomotive there are two more shunting contactor also named Sx41 and Sx42. By pressing switch ZQWC, the weight transfer relay QWC can be energized in J1J2 [FOR] or J1J2 [REV] condition for notch value 0-10, thus activating O20 and O21 (S13-S63).

6.12. SANDING LOGIC DESCRIPTION


Sanding occurs via the electro valve VESA-1 & VESA-2 for two directions respectively. These relays are energized by operating the pedal switches PAS-1 or PAS-2 in two cabs or by the wheel slip relays Q48. If the pedal switch is applied and J1J2 are in the forward direction, the relay named VESA-1 will be activated; otherwise VESA-2 will be activated if J1J2 is in the reverse direction. On the other hand, VESA-1 & VESA-2 will be activated via Q48 (The relay Q48 can be energized only if the traction breaking switches CTF are in running position.). If the wheel on one boogie starts slipping, the load on the motor drops and this is detected by the relay QD1& QD2. (The HMCS-1 switch also selects this, where we need auto sanding or pedal sanding). When the current difference exceeds around 150A, the relay QD is energized. Operation of the relay Q48 as a result of wheel-slip and operation of relay QD-1 or QD-2 also results in automatic regression of the tap changer (GR) till the relay QD-1 and QD-2 drops out to arrest of the wheel slip. The contact of the relay Q48 are provided with a drop out delay of 5-secs. This begins as soon as the relay has been de-energized. This means that sanding will continue for 5-sec after wheel slip has stopped. For MU operation of WAG-7 type Loco, if Q48 acts in any Loco i.e. leading Loco or trailing Loco, auto-sanding and auto-regression should take place via Q51 in its energized state at other Loco also.

Hardware Description

The system is provided with three motherboards, which are fitted at the backside of three sub racks. The cards are plugged to the motherboard through EURO connectors. To ensure the correct insertion of cards, mechanical polarization is provided at the backplane by positioning the EURO connectors at different level for different cards. The advantage with this arrangement is that the same types of cards are interchangeable and at the same time the insertion of a card at wrong slot is prevented. The system consists of two processor cards with a common set of Input Cards, both analog and digital, and common Output and Multi-function Card set. The power supply card provides power to both the processor sub-systems. Each of the Digital Input Cards accommodates 16 external inputs. Three such Input cards support altogether 128 inputs. For both the processors, altogether eight input cards are there with complete dual hardware redundancy. Out of

Page 28 of 69

these eight input card one is redundant and one is spare. The system presently uses 80 inputs and the rest are available for future expansion of its functionality. The analog card interfaces to 12 external analog inputs. Each of the analog inputs have optical isolation amplifier to protect the system from harmful external high voltage. The system has five output cards. Out of these five output cards, one is redundant and one is spare. Each output card drives 16 outputs through solidstate FET switches. Each switch can drive typically 3 Amps from 110Vdc supply for driving external relays. Again each of the switches is also provided with short circuit protection so that in case of accidental overload or external short-circuit the switch is tripped to protect the switches. Altogether five output cards are provided in the system to support 80 outputs, out of which, 40 outputs are used at present. The rest are there for future expansion. The multifunction card provides the synchronization clock to both the processors. It also processes the health signal of the two processors, which is used to arm the output drives of the output module. The combined health signal is also used to drive a safety relay, which provides 110V power to the first two output cards driving most of the vital relays. In case of a critical fault, the processors go to a safe state by withdrawing the health signals, which in turn trips the safety relay to remove the power from the first two output cards for driving the corresponding outputs. The system has two power supply card. One is spare. User can switch on any power supply card or both. The power supply unit produces the requisite +5Vdc and +12Vdc power for the system from the 110Vdc power supply. It has two separate controllers for generating those outputs. Switched-mode technology is used to increase the efficiency of the power supply and thus produce less heat inside the cabinet.

Each FDCS system has two display panels; one is placed in the front cab and the other in the rear cab. The system communicates with each panel through an RS485 communication link. Whenever an alarm comes in the relay logic, it is displayed to both display panels. The display unit of the cab, which contains the BL key, will give audio annunciation to draw the attention of the driver. The audio buzzer gets deactivated after getting acknowledgement from the user through the key ACK. The minor alarms are displayed only for 6 sec without any audio annunciation. The user can browse through the status of inputs and outputs with the help of five keys on the keyboard. Also the faults (if exists) can be viewed one by one on the display panel. The present notch value is always displayed on the 7 segment LED. The FDCS system has got the feature of logging of status and faults that can be downloaded to a USB mass storage device. With the help of a history buffer in the memory unit of CPU, the system is enabling to download last 512 faults each with background data. Description of each individual module is given below.

Page 32 of 69

5. Functional Description of the Digital Input card: Each input card contains 16 digital inputs. In the facia there are 16 green LED to monitor the status of individual input. All inputs are protected from surge and transient voltages by using MOVR. Each input to a processor is acquired through two sets opto-isolators to ensure correctness of data. In the first stage high voltage (110V) are down converted with the help of a high wattage resistance. Optical isolation at the input side is done through individual optical isolators. Two optical isolators with separate hardware are used for each input. The high wattage resistance and the MOVR part are common to both the set for each input. Any failure in this part will be treated as a common mode failure, which will be detected through the other processor data. Any failure in the subsequent stages will be differential mode of failure, which can be identified by the individual processor through testability and redundancy. The processor collects the inputs through different hardware using chip select and input-read logic signal. The data is read in the form of data and inverted data, which gives a better integrity of the data, read through the bus. Inputs are assigned to the processor by the address of the card, which are placed in the back plane (it is independent of the slot). To select a particular card the address is compared with a four-bit card address and an active low signal is generated to select a particular chip.

3. Card Requirement: This card drives various high voltage relays through P-channel MOSFET. 4. Functional Capacity: - Each Output card contains 16 outputs. The system has five output card out of these one is redundant and one is spare. The system has a provision of 80 outputs. 5. Functional Description of the Output card: The system has a provision for 80 digital outputs. All outputs are optically isolated. The system is a two out of two system i.e. two processor will work simultaneously and in case of failure of one the other will take the whole responsibility of the system. Output data from the two-processor cards are first latched on individual buffers. This is crossed checked by the individual processor through feedback ports. The data is then passed through an OR gate to combine the activation signals from the individual processor. A second stage of feedback is provided from this stage. This ORed output is used to drive opto-isolators, which in turn switch ON the MOSFET for driving the external relay. The driver circuit is short circuit current protected. The current protection is achieved by considering the resistance drop due to over current flowing in the input side, as a result a thyristor will be ON, which pulls the gate to the high voltage towards source; hence put the FET into cut-off. A Zener diode is used between source and gate of the FET, to protect gate to source break down, due to some fault in the circuit. The output latches are armed with the health line of the processors extended through the backplane. In case of any failure in a processor subsystem, the processor identifies the fault and goes to a safe state where it
Page 34 of 69

negates the health line. In the output card, this negation of the health line forces the output drive of the faulty processor to the OFF state. The system would then continue its operation with the help of the other processor subsystem.

7. e. POWER SUPPLY CARD


1. Card Name: 2. Card No.: Power Supply Card P09/FDCS07

3. Card Requirement: This card converts power from 70V-135V input power supply to +5V and +12V for the operation of FDCS. 4. Functional Capacity: Input Voltage - 110V nominal (70V to 135V) Output Voltage - +5V DC nominal, 10%, 1Amp +12V DC nominal, 15%, 1.2Amp Protection Input - Surge and transient voltages Over voltage and under voltage Output - Over voltage and short circuit Efficiency - Better than 75% at nominal

5. Functional Description of the Output card: The system has two Power Supply card. User can switch ON one power supply or both for use. The power supply unit first starts its operation from a series 10V regulator derived from the 110V dc supply. Once the module starts to operate it will generate an auxiliary +12V supply from which it will take the input, i.e. selffeeding takes place. The PSU has two separate switching power supply modules, one for +5V and the other for +12V.The two power supplies are kept fully dc isolated

from the 110V signal earth. They are also mutually isolated from each other. Optically isolated feedback is used for voltage stabilization, maintaining the ground isolation. Elaborate alarm monitoring circuit is used to raise alarms if the voltage goes beyond certain limits. The input voltage is also monitored to be within a specified limit, beyond which the switching regulator is switched off raising over voltage or under voltage alarm. The output voltages are also required to be within a specified limit beyond which alarms would be generated. The two CPU cards monitor all the PSU alarms.

ANALOG INPUT MODULE

The system has a provision of 12-analog inputs. Out of 12-analog inputs, four channels are used at present and the rest is kept open for future. Out of these four, three of them are for A.C inputs to measure the phase voltages of the ARNO and one is DC high voltage input (1000V) coming from the traction motor.
Page 36 of 69

Fault Diagnostics and Control System

Stesalit Limited

External high voltage analog inputs, scaled down by signal conditioning unit and low voltage analog input, scaled up by TM Current sensing unit are taken through a differential amplifier stage in the Analog input card. Thus the effect of any difference in analog ground potential (ANGND) would be cancelled out. The swing of analog signals, from the output of differential amplifier, is kept within +5V and GND. This voltage is fed to the CPU card through the analog interface card for A/D conversion. There are pots with each analog channel to adjust the gain to the proper value. These are accessible from the front for trimming if required. The front panel of the analog module is shown below

7.4

SIGNAL CONDITIONING MODULE

High voltage analog inputs are terminated on the card and are down converted. The 1000V dc is down converted to 2.0V first by simple resistance drop. The 3 inputs for 3 phases AC, high voltages are first rectified and then the rectified output is down converted by resistance drop. The Analog Module transfers the external analog signal through optical amplifiers to isolate the signals from dangerous external voltages. Each of the analog sections is powered by separate isolated power supplies so that none of the external voltages have any mutual relationship. The isolated power supplies are generated by four sets of switching regulators working from 12Vdc of the main system. This power is taken with the help of the circular connector connecting the signal-conditioning unit with the main unit.

7.5

TRACTION MOTOR CURRENT SENSING MODULE

Six Traction Motor shunt voltage are terminated on the card and are up converted. The almost 75mV D.C voltage is up converted or amplified to a level of almost 1V by differential amplifier. The Analog Module transfers the external analog signal through optical amplifiers to isolate the signals from dangerous external voltages. Each of the analog

sections is powered by separate isolated power supplies so that none of the external voltages have any mutual relationship. The isolated power supplies are generated by four sets of switching regulators working from 12Vdc of the main system.

7.7I. FILTER CARD Filter Card is used to protect the Power Supply Card as well as the system from surge, spike and external hazards. The raw 110V dc from LOCO battery is fed to the power supply unit through a surge protector and filter section to protect the system from high voltage spikes and surges coming along the power line. The first stage is a Gas arrestor to absorb high-energy pulses. This is followed by an LC filter and a transient protector to bring down the spikes within acceptable limit. The primary supply is connected to earth through high voltage capacitors to bypass AC noises but ensuring DC isolation.

7.7

DISPLAY MODULE

The card is housed in the Display Unit. In an FDCS system two display units are required for two cabins. The main component of the card is an 80196KC microcontroller, which actually drives two 7-segment LEDs, one 40character X 4lines LCD display and a buzzer. Serial communication with the main controller is done in RS485 standard with ground isolation.

8. Software Architecture
Microprocessor Based Control and Fault Diagnostic System is a dual processor redundant system. Normally it works in 2-out-of-2 mode i.e. two processor are working simultaneously in conjunction to each other. In case of failure of any of the processor or its sub-system, the other processor will take up the whole responsibility of the system, indicating an alarm that the system is working with one processor. Integrity of the system will then be ensured through the built-in testability with the various functional blocks. It is a system, where apart from its basic purpose of monitoring the inputs and controlling the outputs, safety is an important issue. A good level of safety and reliability is achieved by managing the redundancy of both hardware and software stage. With such a tightly coupled system, synchronization of the two processors is a big issue. The synchronizer hardware in the multi-function card
Page 39 of 69

Fault Diagnostics and Control System

Stesalit Limited

gives the synchronizing clock to both the CPUs. Each of the processors takes the synchronization information from the synchronizer and does the same specified task at a particular instant of time. In case of two out of two system, inter processor communication at various stages is the heart of the system to ensure the safety and reliability. Information acquired by each processor along with its processed outputs is interchanged to ascertain the validity. In case of any mismatch, the faulty unit is isolated from the system by forcing the software to a fail-safe core where it switches OFF all the corresponding outputs and withdraws the health signal. The other processor would then carry out the processing and control the outputs individually. All the vital and time critical jobs are performed in a 10 msec periodic task, invoked by the synchronizer. This task is basically an 8-step state machine. The job of reading the inputs, processing the data for validity and relay status and outputting the data is distributed among the 8 states in such a way that the processor gets ample time to carry out other jobs. The cycle time to complete the state machine is thus 80 msec. which is consistent with the response time of the external relays. Each of the processor cards reads the inputs through two separate optoisolators. It also receives additional two sets of data from the adjacent processor through inter-processor communication. Thus each processor at a certain point of time has four data for the same input. The validity of data is derived from these four data sets to give a very high integrity of data. The logic used to validate the data is given in the table shown below.

=> Status of these data cannot be derived from these states. However, the output is treated as OFF which is a safer state. In case of output, the system uses OR-ing logic to feed the particular output. A number of hardware feedbacks are taken to ensure the correctness of the output. The software first cross-checks the equality of the output state derived from the input status. If the equality does not hold good for a certain time out period (typically 400 msec.), the total system would go to a safe state, since in 2-out-of2 voting, the system cannot decide who is correct. Integrity of the output is checked against three levels of feedback and in case of any mismatch, the respective processor would go to safe state. The various tasks that the software would perform are given below.
