Standard
Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) for 3 Phase
Electric Locomotives as per IEC61375 -
Train Communication Network (TCN)
Standard
Features
-
For exporting power generated by Solar
PV Array to grid
-
Domain: Grid Interface Solutions for
Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants
-
The VCUs with
open bus architecture that can
address component obsolescence in
future. CPU boards could be upgraded
as and when the current CPUs become
obsolete. I/Os and applications can
remain the same. The physical
location of VCUs and the connection
points for theI/Os are maintained
for legacy VCU replacement.
-
ISAGRAF GUI for
the entry of rolling stock
applications.
-
Visualization
software tool to run on laptop/
standard PC to observe the process
variables
-
Diagnostic
software with analysis tool and
Monitor software to upload the
diagnostic memory to a standard PC /
laptop PC
-

Software Features
-
QNX realtime RTOS
-
Supports ISaGRAF
Graphical Programming
-
Train
Communication network protocol
-
Configuration and
monitoring tool for VCU
-
3-Phase electric
loco control simulator
Technical
Support Systems
C-DAC developed
effective technology support systems for
the VCU. These include PCB test jig, 3
Phase Loco control simulator for
evaluation and integration of VCU with
other sub systems at the manufactures
site, debugging tool for commissioning
at Railway premises, fault analysis tool
etc.
Market Opportunity
The industry is
looking for this VCU technology for two
reasons
-
To supply
individual VCU requirements from
Railways, which can work with
existing legacy 3 Phase Loco Control
Systems
-
As part of the
complete 3 Phase Loco Control
System, which includes VCU, Main
Converter and Auxiliary converter
modules
