CAMTECH/99/S/DAIDO/1.0 4

S/ Line Tokenless B/Instrument December’ 1999

2.1.1 The handle is free to be turned between X and Y, R and D and also between L and B.Movement of the handle to Train Coming From, Train Going To and back to Normalposition from Train Coming From and Train Going To is controlled by an electric lockand this lock is required to be energized at Y position for turning handle to TrainComing From and at D or B position for turning from Train Coming From or TrainGoing To to Normal. For turning to Train Going To, the lock is initially energised at Xposition but gets forced dropped before X and is actuated at X position for furthermovement to Train Going To. The locking effective at X is termed as check lockingand is provided to ensure the conscious cooperation of the operator at the other end.This locking is however not effective while turning the handle from Train Going Tonormal even though the lock is forced dropped. It is because of the beveled edge of theconcerned notch on which the lock just slides over and does not cause an obstruction tothe movement of the handle.

The block handle assembly consists of 24 sets of spring contacts (circuit controller),actuated during the course of handle of operation.

2.1.2 Need for Forced Drop Arrangement

When the lock gets energised then the handle is free to move from Normal to TrainComing From/Train Going To position depending upon the code that is received. Dueto residual magnetism there is a possibility of lock armature to stick up, then theoperator can normalise the block handle from Train Coming From/Train Going To. Toavoid such type of irregular movement there is a need to lock the handle in respectiveposition. The projection on the locking bracket ensure the forced drop of the lock coilso that the operator can not normalise the block handle, once it is turned to TrainComing From/Train Going To, with out cooperation of other operator.

2.2 Galvo

Indicates incoming and outgoing DC current. The resistance of the coil is 18.2 ohms,working current is 110 mA and working voltage is 2 volt.

2.3 Time release Indication

It is an electromagnetic indicator to indicate the maturity of Time Element Relay duringcancellation of a line clear. The coil resistance is 200 ohms.

Normally it shows white indication with words LOCKED and when operated it showsgreen indication with words FREE.

2.4 TOL Indicator

It is an electromagnetic indicator(magnetic latch type). It operates on entry of train in toblock section at either of station.

When the Block section is clear, it displays white indication and when the train entersinto the Block Section on a line clear it changes to Red indication with writing “TrainOn Line” and it holds magnetically. The indicator again changes to white when blockhandle is turned from any position to line closed.

2.5 Switch S1 with counter

Page 5: HANDLE TYPE TOKENLESS BLOCK INSTRUMENT FOR SINGLE LINE122.252.243.98/Departments/snt/CAMTECH Notes/Diado Block.pdf · CAMTECH/99/S/DAIDO/1.0 1 ... This Hand book covers the general

CAMTECH/99/S/DAIDO/1.0 5

S/ Line Tokenless B/Instrument December’ 1999

Switch Sl is a two position switch. when operated to reverse it initiates thecancellation of line clear. The counter is used to register cancellation operation.

2.6 Switch S2 with counter

Switch S2 is a two position switch. when operated to reverse it is used for normalisingthe instrument during a push-back operation of a train to the starting station.

Push Back operation is performed immediately after reversing S2. The counter is usedto register Push Back operation.

2.7. Push Button PB1

It transmits DC current for exchanging bell codes.

When PB1 is pressed alone it transmit

1. DC (-ve) on Line 1 for Bell.2. DC (+ve) on L1 for TOL acknowledgment.3. The same button, when pressed along with PB2, is used for sending of operational

code.

2.8 Push Button PB2

It is used in conjection with PB1 to transmit operational codes to permit the operationof block handle at other station. The code sent is frequency modulated code along witha DC (+ve) code.

PB2 is pressed always along with PB1 to pickup PBPR, which in turn sends ;

i) Frequency modulated code by switching on the Transmitter.ii) DC (+ve) on L1.

2.9 Single Stroke Bell

It is mounted on the top of the instrument and is used for exchanging bell code signalsi.e. It provides to receive bell code. The bell coil is wound to a resistance of 310 ohmsand requires about 70 mA for operation.

It sounds when BLR or NR picks up and used for exchanging Bell Code.

2.10 Buzzer

Two electronic buzzers (BZ1 & BZ2) are provided in side the Block instrument.

BZ1 - It is a dual tone buzzer & sounds at both stations when the train enters into theblock section and stops after acknowledgment by the pressing PB1 at the trainreceiving station.

BZ2 - It Sounds at the Receiving station on train arrival on proper reception signals andsequence. It stops by normalizing the Home Signal SM’s slide/lever.

S/ Line Tokenless B/Instrument December’ 1999

2.11 SM’s Key

To avoid unauthorised operation in the absence of SM.

When this key is taken out the block instrument becomes inoperative for all functionsexcept for:

i) Reception of Bell Code.ii) Reception or transmission of TOL Code.

2.12 Shunting Key

This key is used as a shunting authority to shunt in any direction beyond Last stopsignal up to first stop signal of the station. It is normally kept inserted in the Blockinstrument. It can be taken out only when the block handle is in Line Closed or TrainGoing To position, and when taken out, the Block handle is locked mechanically in lastposition. The insertion and extraction of key can be done only when SM’s key isinserted and turned ON.

2.13 Transmitter

It transmits a frequency modulated output (1800 or 2700 with 65 or 85 Hz) when theDC feed is connected to it by different selections. The modulated frequency is selectedby the transmitter by an external loop completed through the relevant selectionaccording to the condition of the block instrument.

2.14 Receiver This receives the frequency modulated signals transmitted from the other end and gives DC

output for energising either CR1 or CR2 depending on the modulating frequency of thecode received. The receiver is switched on when the DC feed is connected through therelevant selections.

2.15 The block instruments are designed to work either on 1800 Hz or 2700 Hz carrier

frequencies. The modulating frequencies are 85 Hz and 65 Hz and these are commonfor all the instruments.

The codes used in the Block Instrument are 2.15.1 1800 Hz or 2700 Hz modulated by 85 Hz with DC positive : To permit operation of

block handle from line closed to Train Coming From, Train Coming From to lineclosed and Train Going To to line closed.

2.15.2 1800 Hz or 2700 Hz modulated by 65 Hz with DC positive : To permit operation of

block handle from line closed to Train Going To.

2.15.3 1800 Hz or 2700 Hz modulated by 65 Hz : To set the other end’s Block instrument to“Train On Line”.

S/ Line Tokenless B/Instrument December’ 1999

4.2. Local Battery

Local battery is of 24 Volt and is used for giving the supply to the transmitter andreceiver and also operating relays, indicators, local magnets etc. of the instruments.Since the current drain on the battery is high, secondary cells are generally used.

4.3 Location/External Battery

It is used for external circuits to repeat the external conditions to the instrumentsaccording to the requirements of the circuits. Picking up of PBPR, connects +ve to L1& -ve to L2 and also switches on the DC feed for the transmitter. Since the blockhandle is in normal position, the loop circuit is connected for the modulated output isconnected to the line.

5. SPECIAL FEATURES

5.1 Special features of Daido Tokenless Block Instrument are given below:

5.1.1 To ensure that the relays “NR” and “BLR” are not picked up simultaneously backcontact of NR relay is proved in BLR circuit. Similarly in the PBPR circuit backcontact of CR1 and CR2 relays have been provided to ensure that PBPR relay will notbe energized. While receiving modulated frequencies.

5.1.2 Front contact of PBPR Relay has been proved in the DC feed circuit of transmitter,whereas back contact has been proved to the receiver circuit to guard against receivingits own F.M. output modulated frequency transmitted similarly, back contact of CR2and CR2 relays have been proved in the DC feed circuit for transmitted to ensure thatno code except the code of bell signals can be generated unless the code relays are de-energised.

5.1.3 Since TOL code has to be transmitted automatically as soon as a train occupies FVT,Front contact of PBPR Relay is not proved in DC feed circuit to the transmitter but thesame is taken in TOLR Front contact NR Relay back contact with the block handle at Lposition.

5.1.4 Similarly for the receiver to be in readiness. To receive the TOL code, the DC feedcircuit is taken via 2R Relay back contact with the block handle “R” position.

5.1.5 Pressed contact of the PB2 button in the DC feed circuit of the transmitter, proves thepositive action taken to energise PBPR Relay for transmitting modulated frequencyalong with DC.

5.1.6 Block handle contacts (BX) and (DY) are included in the DC feed circuit to thereceiver so that the DC feed to the receiver is switched on only. When the Block handleoperation is initiated. Thus minimising battery consumption.

5.1.7 SM’s key contact has not been provided in the DC feed circuit of Transmitter fortransmitting and receiving of automatic TOL code to ensure that the TOL indicator willdisplay, immediately the block sections occupied irrespective of the position of theSM’s key.

S/ Line Tokenless B/Instrument December’ 1999

5.1.8 To ensure that the relay CR1 and CR2 are not be energised one at a time, back contactof CR1 relay is proved to energise CR2 relay and similarly back contact of CR2 relay isproved to energise CR1 relay.

5.1.9 Cross protection to the lock Magnet is given through the CR1 and CR2 back contacts.

5.1.10 “Transmitter” and “Receiver” are connected to line through the back contact of TELRrelay is ensure that during conversation on telephone, no code is transmitted or receivedby the transmitter and receiver respectively at either end. Similarly the telephone set isconnected to the lines through the front contact of TELR Relay and TELR Relay feed istaken through the back contact of CR1 and CR2 relays to ensure that duringTransmission and reception of Code the telephone is disconnected the back contact ofTOLR is included in the TELR PICK UP circuit to ensure that the telephone circuit isdisconnected the moment TOLR picks up to transmit TOL Code.

5.1.11 TOLR relay is made slow to release since its energising circuit is through the frontcontact of TRSR released stick circuit as through the back contact of TRSR relay.

6.2.9 While the block handle is being turned from one to another position, the circuitcontroller contact (XY-RD-LB) of the handle in line circuit, in series with the relayNR is opened between the Y&D points.

6.2.10 On opening of circuit controller contact in Line circuit, a resistance R3 to be added inseries to line circuit with a resultant reduction in the volume of line current ( whichremains substantially greater than the drop away current of NR). This cause a click onGalvo needle at both stations, making it possible for SM of button pressing station toknow that the block handle has been turned. Then PB1 and PB2 at station A may bereleased (The same procedure is followed in operating the handle as subsequently tobe described).

6.2.11 After confirming that the Galvo needle has returned to zero position (indicating that Astation has stopped sending a code of signal), PB1 and PB2 are now simultaneouslypressed down at B station to send a code of signal to A station (Fig. II). PBPR relaypicks up as per fig. 5. With the PBPR picking up at A the NR picks up at B stationthrough the line circuit as per fig. 6 & 8.

6.2.12 An FM code is generated due to picking up of PBPR at ‘A’, which connects power toTX as per circuit in Fig. 7. The modulating frequency F2(65 Hz) is selected overterminal TX-5 & TX-7 & modulated current flows to terminals 34, 37 to the line sideisolation transformer

6.2.13 On getting the Bell & Galvo deflection at Stn. B, SM turns the block handle from Npoint to as far as the X point. At X point TRSR picks up & releases the lock on blockhandle by picking up lock magnet as per fig. 17 & 18. TRSR remains UP till X/ andlater on sticks through its own front contact in LX/ position of Block handle. Thelock magnet is once again required to be in picked up condition to release the blockhandle at check lock position at X/as per fig. 18 &19.

6.2.14 When Block handle is in Train Going To position, i.e., Line clear is granted, Last stopsignal can be taken OFF by reversing the necessary controls like SM control onsignal, Lever/ switch/ push button operation etc. Reversing of any of above controlcauses 1R to drop. An external relay ASR (Advance starter control relay) picks up asper fig. 20. With ASR picking up, it possible to take OFF the Last Stop signal.

6.2.15 Now the train can be sent into block section. On entry of train into block section, FVTtrack relay drops causing 1TPR to drop, thus releasing the stick circuit of TRSR todrop. Dropping of the TRSR causes the ASR to drop and replace the Last Stop signalto ON automatically.

6.2.16 With the 1TPR drop, the circuit of TRSR breaks , which drops with a time lag, butbefore its dropping, TOLR picks up as per fig. 21 through Path 1.

When TRSR drops after the time lag, TOLR sticks through Path 2. the indicatorTOLK and buzzer BZ1 are actuated through a branch of a contact LB, indicating atrain departure (TOL). An additional Path 3 is provided to prevent the premature dropping of TOLR duringtransition, when other station is transmitting TGT code & at the same time TOLRpicks up. It ensures that TOLR will not drop before transmission of TOL code.A Normal contact of S2 switch is provided in the stick circuit to stop the transmissionof TOL code, during a failure of its transmission or acknowledgment to silence thedeparture buzzer.

6.2.17 At this time the advance starter lever is restored to normal position.

7.3 Trouble Shooting Method for Transmitter & ReceiverSr. SYMPTOM ACTION TO BE TAKEN1. No output from

receiver.Check if the supply is OK bypressing push to make switch intransmitter and receiver. If power ONindicators are glowing with red LEDit means power supply is OK. If thered LED does not glow, check thefuse. If the fuses are missing/blown,replace it.

2 Power OK,LEDs OK butrelay does notpick up.

Press the PTM switch which is on thefront panel and see if the levelindicator green LED glows or not. Ifglows that means relay driving signalis OK & the problem is withrespective relay, so replace it and getthe desired result.

If the level indicator Amber LEDglows:

The relay driving signal is missing,check the following:

Input to the RX between 5&6 (+10Vto +13V PP) between 7&8 (+1.5V to+ 2.5V PP), between 9&10 or 11&12(+21.6V to +26V PP).If the above voltage signals are notregular/proper, open the cabinet andfollow the signal flow and check thevoltages.

8. EARTHING

A separate earth should be provided for each block instrument.

The resistance of earth shall not exceed 10 Ohm.

The earth shall be located on lower level soft ground far from underground cable, waterand gas pipes.

9. SAFETY CHECK

• Ensure that double lock is provided and seal is intact. • Try to operate the instrument without cooperation i.e. without receipt of functional

code, it shall not be possible to turn the block handle from Line Closed to Train GoingTo or Train Coming From position.

• On receipt of TGT code, turn block handle from Line Closed towards Train Going to

& stop midway. Disconnect Line & try to turn the handle further. It shall lock in checklock position. Ensure armature of electric lock on block handle is force dropped incheck lock notch and the block handle can not be turned to Train Going to position.

• With a train in Block Section, try to bring the block handle to Line closed with &

without cooperation from other station, it shall not be possible to turn the block handleto line closed position. The Block handle should remain locked in last operatedposition.

For Last Stop Signal :

• Try to take OFF the Last Stop Signal without taking line clear (“L” position of blockhandle), the signal should not clear.

• Shunt the FVT track, the Last Stop Signal shall go back to danger automatically.

• It is not possible to take OFF the Last Stop Signal again unless a fresh line clear is

obtained.

SUGGESTION :

a) Removal of Filter unit & X, Y relays in RE area. b) Disconnect the two condensers of the Block Filter unit c) The rare gas lightning arrestor should be replaced with MOVR.

10.1 Periodicity of Overhauling

A thorough periodical overhauling in Workshop is necessary and the period shall notexceed 7 years.

10.2 Maintenance

The following points are to be kept in mind while doing maintenance for reliableworking of block instrument.

• The local battery voltage at the instrument terminals on load should not be below 24

volts. Secondary cells of sufficient capacity may be used as the maximum workingcurrent per instrument is about 2 Amps ( when thermal time element relay is used) &0.6 Amp (when Electronic time element relay is used)

• The upper limit of local battery on load should not exceed 29 V as it may affect the

Zener diode working. • The line battery shall be capable of circulate 110 mA in Line circuit measured at code

receiving station. • The line current shall be measured both at the transmitting end and the receiving end.

There shall not be an appreciable variation.• Separate battery or DC-DC converter shall be provided for line circuit of each block

instrument. Whenever the line battery/ DC-DC converter is changed, the line currentshould be checked.

• ??Whenever old type condenser units are changed ( with 4 BA fixing screw ), ensure

that the other interconnected instrument condenser unit is also changed to the same typesince the values are different.

• Care shall be taken to ensure that the relay jack boards and relays are clean and dustfree.

• During the periodical Maintenance/ Inspection, the charger shall be switched “OFF ”

and the working of the relays shall be observed for few operations. The terminalvoltage should be monitored during the code transmission in order to ensure thecondition of the battery.

• Whenever the instrument fails, interchanging of relays and units shall not be restoredto, without ascertaining the actual cause and this change may be effected only if it iswarranted.

• While plugging in relays/ units, excessive force should not be exerted as it may affectthe jack board clips.
