Scope: Speedometer test bench is essential for calibration testing of different make
Speedometers e.g. Medha, Laxven, Auto-meter etc with Speed sensors, Energy Calibration
modules used in Electric Loco. Speedometers are provided to guide the driving crews to run
the Locomotives in safe manner obeying cautions and maintaining punctuality. Therefore
Micro-processor based Portable Speedometer test bench will provide calibration facility of
Speedometer comparing with readings of speed display system, Master Energy Meter
provided in test bench.

General Specification: Speedometer test bench will have following major functions (i)
Speed calibration (ii) Odometer testing (iii) Costing/Braking function testing (iv) Energy Meter
testing facility. It will be fitted with PVC molded or similar wheels for easy movement
around floor area.

Speedometer and Odometer calibration unit: Speedometer test bench should be

able to calibrate Speedometers having speed range 0-160 kmph or 0-200 kmph & even more.

The test bench will be provided with a speed simulator having smooth and step less Speed
control using 3- Phase special type 1HP, 6 Pole induction motor driven by VVVF drive. The
Motor will have extended shaft arrangement at both ends for mounting speed sensors from
outside of the test bench. Motor speed should start from lowest value (5 kmph) & will provide
minimum 2 kmph resolution for testing Speedometers with standard wheel diameter (1092
mm).

The Speed simulator may be controlled from 0-1500 rpm using a multi turn potentiometer
control and the control knob will be located in front panel of test bench. The facilities of
forward , reverse, emergency stop, tripping against overload, stalling of speed simulator
should be provided in the test bench.

The Speed drive should enable to set acceleration/deceleration curve to attend target speed
by speed simulator so the meter needle doesn’t damage with the sudden starting jerk of
drive. The Induction Motor of Speed simulator should be provided with appropriate cooling
system using 4” Fan mounted on Motor cage while rotation at lowest rpm.

The test bench should comprise of a Micro controller based master Speed Indicator system
through 7 inch HMI or array of FND display loaded with proprietary software and will have
following features:

(i) Diameter Input/correction using key board (ii) Computation of Linear Speed based
on wheel diameter and rpm (iii) Display of default diameter when the panel is
powered (iv) Change/correction of default diameter using password authentication
 (v) Input of run time in Odometer test mode in hh:mm:ss format. The system will
cover wheel diameter from 800 to 1200 mm.
Proximity switch for scanning simulator speed and input to master speed indicator will be
provided inside the panel for calibration purpose. Multi teeth encoder wheel should be
provided on Speed simulator for accurate speed measurement.
Display system will be with 7 inch or similar touch screen HMI or array of FND display devices.
The system will compute linear speed, distance travelled, time during which coasting/braking
function are applied, energy etc and display on the Speed and Energy master calibration unit
in the test bench
Speedometer Test Mode :
I. Wheel Diameter (mm)
II. Wheel Speed (rpm)
III. Linear Speed (kmph)
Odometer Test Mode :
i. Time of run (hh: mm: ss format) with countdown display of time
ii. Liner Speed (kmph)
iii. Distance travelled (km)

Costing/ Breaking testing (except Steaslit make Speedometer) :

Toggle switches will be provided in left side of test bench to provided in left side of test bench
to prove coast & brake function testing of AAL, Laxven, Medha make ESMON Speedometers.
Coasting & braking simulation in Steaslit make Speedometer is not possible due to its
inherent design limitation.
Panel will be provided with 110V DC, 2A supply outlet with fuse protection, isolation switch,
indication at control panel.
Sensor I & Sensor II testing
Hardware Switch will be provided in left side of test bench to run ESMON speedometer on

Checking of SPM healthy, Zero speed, 105% and 110% Speed actuated Relay
contact
110V DC indications will be provided to check Relay contacts of SPM healthy, Zero speed,
105% and 110% over Speed Relay contacts of ESMON Speedometer. Panel will be provided
with switches for Power On/Off, Forward & Reverse (clockwise & Anti clockwise) rotation of
speed simulator, Speed control using multi-turn Potentiometer control with Vernier knob etc.
Panel will be provided with internal illumination, wiring in dressed condition with wire marker
and terminal at suitable location. Panel will be cooled by 4” Fan, 230V AC. Speed simulator
motor will be mounted in special cage where all arrangement of fitting PG/Speed sensors of
different types is to be made so that those can be mounted from outside. Input to test bench
will be protected using single pole MCB and mains on indication. Panel will be spray painted
with primer and primer and should have lifting handle, Earthing terminal etc.
Energy Calibration panel
Energy testing/calibration facility will consists of 0-110V AC(0-25 kV) supply 50Hz for PT
supply, 0-5A AC, 50Hz for CT secondary supply (with CTR 300/5A), phantom loading
arrangement using a loading Resistor. The PT supply will be continuously variable to simulate
wide fluctuation of OHE voltage through a 1-phase variac. CT supply can also be varied
between 0-5A for simulating variable load 0-300A during energy calibration.
System will provide Digital timer with run/test time entry facility thorough Key buttons/key
board. Micro controller based Digital kWh meter with key board facility for setting PT & CT
ratios EAPL or other make as Master kWh meter. System will display OHE Voltage,
Loco/current energy advance from Digital Master kWh meter through MODBUS
communication protocol. Test bench will be provided with Matrix key board or other for
entering Speedometer details (Sr no, Make), Loco no generating test report in .csv file. Test
data can be saved using data save button in pen drive through USB port.
Test bench will be provided with various controls, accessories, On/Off switches, Indication etc
for calibration and testing of digital energy module of Speedometer sued in Railways.
Panel will be made of MS angle structure and covered with MS sheet duly painted with
sky/blue/Foam grey or similar colour and will be fitted with wheels for easy movements.
