NCR improves signalling system

NCR improves signalling system
Prayagraj: In the bid to improve the state-of-the-art signalling system, electronic interlocking of Gaipura station of Prayagraj-Pt Deendayal Upadhyay section has been upgraded from warm standby to hot standby by the S&T department of the NCR. Now, in case of any malfunction in any one of the two systems, the signal system will continue to operate without any interruptions, whereas earlier it used to take three minutes and all the signals of the station were red and the trains in up and down direction used to stop.
The move will not only improve movement of trains in this section, but will also reduce the failure of the EI system, informed NCR PRO (Prayagraj) Sunil Kumar Gupta. Explaining the concept, Gupta informed TOI that since Gaipura station is in the lightning zone and in order to protect the EI system from lightning, the system communication between EI room and station master room has been changed.
In addition, all types of manual switches for integrated operation of the signaling system and soft switches have been provided in the computer panel for MCB itself. Not only this, the computer panel is now monitoring the state of axle counter as well as the failure of integrated power supply (IPS), Earth Leakage Detector (ELD), etc., he added. tnn
