Track more with less.
Axle Counting
Frauscher Advanced
Counter FAdC®
Thanks to the software interface, the axle counter FAdC can be optimally
integrated into higher-level systems. This provides the highest flexibility in
design. Both system integrators and railway operators benefit equally from
significant advantages.
Information Applications Benefits
Clear/occupied status (SIL 4) Track vacancy detection Simple and flexible configuration
Direction (SIL 4) CBTC fallback Software interface
Number of axles Level crossing protection Flexible architecture
Speed Switching point protection Low maintenance
Wheel diameter Simple project management
Diagnostic data
FAdC®
Connection to a high-performance electronic interlocking is possible Information
either via a vital customer-specific interface or the Frauscher Safe
Ethernet FSE protocol. COM
All processes – from planning, engineering and configuration, AEB AEB
to diagnostics, maintenance and adaptation – are supported by
innovative software tools. By means of logic application, methods ≤ 10 km
such as Supervisor Track Section or Counting
5, 10, 25 m
Head Control further increase system availability.
