INTRODUCTION
Multi Section Digital Axle Counter of AzLM system
manufactured by M/s Eldyne Electro-systems Pvt. Ltd.,
in association with Thales of Germany.
Digital axle counter field unit / counting device is the
track side electronic assembly that energizes the axle
detector for
Detecting the passing wheels
Determining the direction of movement
Keeping the counting of wheels
It transmits the count and health information to the
central evaluator at regular intervals. Based on the
information detected, central evaluator determines 3
status of track section whether clear or occupied.

MAIN MODULES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
AzLM system consists of following main modules:
Outdoor Trackside system:
Rail contacts (SK30H)
Track-Side Electronic Unit (EAK) (ZP30H)
Indoor Equipment: Axle Counter Central Evaluator
(ACE)
Communication Link (With or without PDCU)

Axle Counter Central Evaluator (ACE)
ACE is the decision making unit for MSDAC. It
has the following sub parts which are housed in a
Sub-rack.

CPU Card
CPU Card acts as the brain of AzLM which have
diagnostic interfaces and an alphanumeric display.
Two CPU Cards are required for 2 out of 2 system.
Power Supply Card
It has DC-DC converters. It works on 24V DC and
generates 5V DC and 12V DC required for the
electronic circuitry. Two Power Supply Cards are
required for 2 out of 2 system.
10
…CONTINUED
Serial Card
It receives information from detection points through
ISDN communication link and provides this
information to CPU Cards. One Serial Card can
monitor maximum two detection points.
Parallel Card
It is responsible for providing section information.
One parallel card can monitor maximum one section
only.
11
REFERENCE COUNT DIRECTION (RCD)
RCD must be defined for the track layout
independent of the direction of travel.
It ensures that the correct order of counting into and
out of a section is maintained throughout a series of
detection points. Without RCD, the system cannot be
correctly configured.

COMMUNICATION LINK (WITH OR WITHOUT PDCU)
Two wire communication is used with ISDN
modulation for communication between ACE and
EAK.
Matched pair of 4Quad Cable
Max. distance communication link possible is 18 Km
when attenuation of the link is 24 dB. 15
For using same conductor for power and data, Power Data
Coupling Unit (PDCU) is used.

INSTALLATION OF TRACK-SIDE ELECTRONIC UNIT (EAK)
EAK, if installed, out side the location box should be
installed in the Lockable Mushroom Cover (EPC
001–CI Eldyne make).
If EAK is placed inside the location box it is
recommended to house the EAK with a dust cover
(Eldyne make).
17
Following table shows the connection for Power Supply /
Communication to the EAK :
Connection Terminal
Superimposed Power (+) & Data line 3
Superimposed Power (-) & Data line 13
Provide a shorting link between terminal 1 & 2 and 11 & 12 if the same
pair of conductors is used for superimposed data and power supply to
the EAK.
If separate power supply is used for installation, the communication
line has to be between terminals 3 & 13 and the 60V power supply has
to be connected to terminals 1 & 11.

HOW ADDRESS SETTING IS DONE ?
Each EAK connected to the same ACE for a particular
installation, must have an unique address.

23
HOW RESETTING OF MSDAC IS DONE ?
Steps to be followed to initiate a reset are…
Inserts the KEY, turn it clockwise and push.
While KEY is in turned position the RESET PUSH BUTTON
for a specific section is pressed momentarily.
BUZZER sounds for 3 seconds and then stops.
The KEY is then turned back anti-clockwise and taken out.
This Reset Key is the common key for all the reset boxes used in
a particular installation. 24
JSW MSDAC INSTALLATION
JSW BLOCK CABIN IS A 3 Road EI
INSTALLATION (KYOSAN MAKE)
COMMISSIONED ON 30.4.18.
OUT OF 3 ROAD 2 ARE MAIN LINE (UP & DN)
AND ANOTHER ONE IS FOR JSW
SIDING(COMMON LOOP).
TOTAL NO. OF ROUTE AT JSW YARD IS 25.
DATA LOGGER (EFFTRONICS MAKE) OF 1024
DIGITAL INPUT AND 32 ANALOG.
AT JSW STATION MSDAC IS PROVIDED FOR
DETECTION OF BERTHING AND POINT 25
ZONE TRACK
TOTAL 2 NOS AXLE COUNTER EVALUATOR
(ACE) IS PROVIDED.
EACH ACE CAPACITY IS 24 DP AND 32
TRACK SECTION.
FOR ACE-1, TOTAL 10 NOS DP IS
CONNECTED AND 6 NOS TRACK SECTION IS
DETECTED.
FOR ACE-2, TOTAL 13 NOS DP IS
CONNECTED AND 8 NOS TRACK SECTION IS
DETECTED.
26
o Track section detected by ACE-1 are 6XT,106XT,107BXT, L3XT1,
L3XT, 101AXT.
o Track section detected by ACE-2 are 107AXT, 105BXT, 105AXT,
27
L1XT, L2XT, 102AXT, 102BXT, 101BXT.
o REMAINING ARE SINGLE RAIL DC TRACK CIRCUIT Viz. 1AT,

ADVANTAGES
Modular and robust design
Faster Response Time
Ease of System Configuration
Failure of EM-08 module affects the operation of
only those track-sections that are Controlled by
the affected module and not all track-sections
Low Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
Less failure observed at JSW station.
