A redundant system based on an architecture using tried and tested products is used to manage and monitor the electricity supply and safety functions in the 1750 meters long tunnel. Fan control, high-voltage power (24 kV) and low-voltage circuits for signals are managed in separate networks. The redundant network rings support two-way communication, which makes them fail-safe. The IP-based data transfer to and from the overall system uses the standard IEC60870-5-104 protocol, with redundant RTUs. |
Banedanmark – Denmark
Project: | Traffic Management Systems |
End user: | Banedanmark, Danish Rail Authority |
Consultant: | N/A |
Contractor: | Cactus UniView/Bravida |
Period: | 2010 – |
Description: | It has been decided to modernize the remote operation central in Aalborg since the system today used to monitor and control the railroad line between Aalborg and Frederikshavn is worn down. As part of the modernization Brodersen’s standard RTU is to remotely monitor the rail network and a majority of the signals in the coming years. This is done by means of the IEC60870 protocol. For many years the rail traffic has been controlled from an old-fashioned control desk. The new solution, on the other hand, is PC-based. Brodersen has been chosen due to our very flexible platform and ability to make specific interface solutions, ensuring that these solutions are able to work together with the existing proprietary systems. |
