2 EBI LOCK FOR MAINLINE AND MASS TRANSIT EBI Lock CBI systems form the heart of all BOMBARDIER* CITYFLO* and INTERFLO* solutions, providing major enhancements to capacity and flexibility and high availability in comparison with conventional signalling standards. Systems are comprised of an interlocking computer, a stand-by back up computer, a transmission system and centralised or distributed object controllers. The system ensures maximum route availability and safety on the rail network. INTERFLO systems offer a range of main line solutions which also support European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) technology. CITYFLO systems are solutions for urban transit networks such as trams, light rail vehicles and metros. EBI Lock systems are as follows: BOMBARDIER* EBI* Lock Computer-Based Interlocking systems supervise and control wayside objects such as signals, point machines, balises and level crossing protection. EBI Lock 400 in depots and stabling yards EBI Lock 500 deployed for secondary and industrial line interlockings EBI Lock 600 for use in CITYFLO 550 mass transit signalling solutions EBI Lock 950 most advanced and widely used CBI Through Bombardier s collaboration with Swedish State system for mainline and mass transit Railways, the first Computer-Based Interlocking (CBI) system in the world went into operation in Now in its fourth generation, our latest CBI technology uses the same basic design-for-safety principles, proven and in use for more than 35 years. EBI Lock 950 CBI systems supervise and control wayside objects such as signals, point machines and level crossing protection. The systems receive the route setting commands from the traffic control centre and then lock the route ahead of the train and release it after the train passes. 2 EBI Lock BOM09412 EBI Lock V3.indd 2 29/08/ :41

3 BENEFITS OF EBI LOCK RELIABILITY The interlocking computer and its hot standby backup computer ensure maximum system availability, providing an economical and reliable railway solution. All EBI Lock systems are equipped with diagnostic and self-testing functions. Service technicians can access the information via a service PC that helps them to locate any problems quickly and plan the necessary maintenance. EBI Lock components can be serviced in the field without disturbing train traffic. The electronic circuitry is mounted on circuit boards that can be replaced in minutes. MODULAR DESIGN Developed for the lowest possible life cycle costs, EBI Lock systems are very cost-effective to install and maintain. Consisting of tried and tested modern modules they can be easily upgraded and adapted to different customer requirements. A station equipped with an EBI Lock system can be completely controlled from a traffic management centre or from a control desk. A combination of both these modes is also possible if required. The EBI Lock CBI system takes full control itself and automatically establishes train routes in accordance with pre-programmed procedures. Automatic route setting can also be an advantage on small, remotely controlled stations with low traffic levels. FLEXIBILITY With the most country-specific adaptations of any CBI system in the world, EBI Lock systems can be customised to suit the various types of control systems, interlocking functions, wayside objects and special functions of different rail administrations. Due to its high levels of compatibility and interoperability with diverse train equipment and signalling systems, an EBI Lock system can be customised to suit specific or national requirements in any rail network. Functions for Automatic Train Protection (ATP) and Automatic Train Operation (ATO) can also be integrated into the systems. EBI Lock can be modified to interface with other types of computerised or all-relay interlocking systems. A single interlocking computer is capable of controlling several stations simultaneously and can also control the lines between stations. ERTMS The EBI Lock system has been designed to cater for the enhanced interlocking function specified for ERTMS/European Train Control Standard (ETCS). With balise driver boards in the object controller system, Eurobalises in ERTMS/ETCS Level 1 can be controlled in a cost-efficient way. By simply adding an EBI Com Radio Block Centre (RBC), EBI Lock CBI systems can transmit and receive information via radio for ERTMS/ETCS Level 2. EBI Lock 3 BOM09412 EBI Lock V3.indd 3 29/08/ :41

4 CENTRAL INTERLOCKING SYSTEM The EBI Lock central interlocking system collects information about the status of the various wayside objects, processes the interlocking data and sends commands to the relevant object controllers. Communication takes place via redundant high-speed channels in which information can be sent in both directions. All communication takes place via ethernet, on dedicated or open networks. Optimum availability Two interlocking computers are used by each EBI Lock system, one operates as an on-line computer and the other as a hot standby. If a malfunction is detected by the on-line computer, the computer in hot standby takes over, thereby avoiding any interruption to the system availability. Safety assured Commands are received from the railway traffic control centre. The system evaluates these commands with respect to traffic safety rules and the actual traffic situation. Only commands that can be completed safely are ever executed. When all the safety conditions are fulfilled, the interlocking computer transmits orders to the object controllers which, in turn, control the objects on the track-side. The object controllers transmit the status of the track-side objects back to the interlocking computer. Safety is ensured using multiple approaches such as diversified software, with independent system parts supervising each other. The diversified software is developed by two independent teams, strictly following Signals Commands Control centre Central interlocking system On-line Standby A B C vital non-vital = same result Object controller system Wayside objects (for example) Axle counters Point machines Status A B vital C non-vital Transmission system Level crossings coding conventions. EBI Lock CBI systems operate at CENELEC Safety Integrity Level 4. Diversified programs Every interlocking computer contains three microprocessors. The two main microprocessors (A & B) process (in parallel) diversified programs for safety functions. These different programs have identical functions and must achieve the same result for a function to be executed. Any inconsistency in a particular program is quickly detected when one program does not produce the same result as the other. The EBI Lock system then issues an alarm to traffic management while transferring control to the standby computer. The third processor (C) is used for processing non-vital functions relating to servicing, interfaces and transmission. EBI Lock software is structured for flexible adaptation to a rail administration s signalling or operation rules. Once the administration-specific rules have been adapted, EBI Lock site-specific data can be prepared quickly if required. 4 EBI Lock BOM09412 EBI Lock V3.indd 4 29/08/ :41

5 Guaranteed transmission Housing concept High system availability and ongoing communication is The housing concept contains all the equipment required assured through the use of a redundant network. In case to run the object controllers in standard pre-wired racks of a broken cable, transmission is switched to the and facilitates installation. The compact design is based on alternative channel without impacting upon functionality. proven, well-defined and tested components from carefully All telegrams are marked with the time of transmission. selected quality suppliers and is CENELEC compliant, The receiver can therefore check the validity of the ensuring operator safety. information or order. Object controllers EBI Lock object controllers are fully electronic and are connected directly to wayside objects. Every object controller can control several objects and can be positioned centrally together with the computer, or distributed close to the objects. With direct control, the power supply can be regulated to the controlled object which causes minimum wear and reduces the need for maintenance. With distributed object controllers cabling is kept to a minimum, a cost-effective benefit that also reduces the risk of induced currents causing signal interference. Flexible expansion The EBI Lock interlocking computer has the capacity to control and supervise a large number of wayside objects. If more objects need to be controlled a number of EBI Lock systems can be linked modularly to achieve the necessary capacity. BOM09412 EBI Lock V3.indd 5 EBI Lock 5 29/08/ :41

6 EBI TOOL DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE Extension and modification The EBI Tool package can also be used to re-programme existing interlocking systems. When a station is expanded, the existing EBI Lock CBIs can easily be updated to manage the increased geographical coverage. When the verification is performed, the backup computers are loaded with the new data generated by EBI Tool, and can then assume control during the period when the interlocking computer is updated. With an efficient reloading process, this can be done during normal operation. EBI Tool is a comprehensive, user-friendly software package. Designed to allow EBI Lock interlocking systems to be engineered, installed, commissioned and maintained by signal engineers. EBI Tool allows the interlocking systems to be installed Maintenance and Diagnostic Centre very quickly as they are thoroughly planned and tested The EBI Tool Maintenance and Diagnostic Centre (MDC) in a computer environment before commissioning. is a modern infrastructure management, maintenance Speeds, distances, train routes and other traffic requirements and diagnostic system that can remotely monitor EBI are put into the system which links selected objects in Lock CBIs.
