Data acquisition and processing system for rail freight yard - uses individual function units for processing and transferring data to control wagon movements

摘要

The special function units are installed for sorting data from measuring pick-ups and sensors, providing control signals to points etc., from information regarding axle weight, axle numbers etc. The data can be classified by one or more function units, and placed at the disposal of other units, which control the freight movement, resulting in clear and easily understandable instructions, due to the small amount of input and output information passed to these units. Expenditure can be avoided and the system simplified by installing several processors, divided into function modules for performing the various tasks of operation and management of the system, all having basically the same technical construction and fulfilling their functions by suitable programming.
