 What is Interlocking ?

GR definition:
“interlocking” means an arrangement of signals, points and other
appliances, operated from a panel or a lever frame, so interconnected
by mechanical locking or electrical locking or both that their
operation must take place in proper sequence to ensure safety;

IRISET 2
 Railway Interlocking Systems

Different types of Interlocking Systems:

o Mechanical Interlocking

o Electro Mechanical Interlocking

o Relay Interlocking

o Electronic Interlocking / Solid Sate Interlocking.

 Electronic Interlocking
Electronic Interlocking is a microprocessor based interlocking system,
used for controlling points, signals, LC gates etc, through a centralized
control panel or through VDU, like existing relay based/ mechanical
interlocking systems.
This system is the alternative to the conventional relay interlocking
system (PI & RRI). On Indian railways the Electronic Interlocking
system shall comply with the RDSO Specification no.
RDSO/SPN/192/2019 Ver.2

 SMB Terminators

Each end of each SMB requires a terminator,

even if the SMB is not used, i.e.:
⅏SMB-A—two terminators (one each end)
⅏SMB-B—two terminators (one each end)
⅏SMB-C—one terminator (at the remote end; SMB-C is terminated
internally at its PM end)
⅏SMB-D—one terminator (at the remote end; SMB-D is terminated
internally at its PM end

IRISET 225
 Serial Module Bus (SMB)
The SMB is used for communication between a PM and each IO module. The
SMB runs through the housing backplane and may be connected to backplanes on
other housings using:
⅏ Copper wires for short distances (within the equipment room)
⅏ Fibre-optic cable for long distances (outside the equipment room) using SM-
MAUs
⅏ Ethernet links for long distances and diverse routing (to remote
objectcontrollers) using RSAs

 Hardware
Westrace Equipment consists of:

⅏ PM module

⅏ PIM50

⅏ ROM50

IRISET 227
 Processor Module (PM)

PM is the heart of WESTRACE MK2

Contains three Power PC microprocessor

Two for Vital logic processing,

one for communication and diagnostic

IRISET 228
 PM overview

⅏Each PM can Address upto 64 Housings and upto 128 modules

⅏Each SMB can connect max 32 modules
⅏controls input and output modules attached to the PM via the Serial Module Bus (SMB).
⅏controls remote input and output modules over a single or duplicated Ethernet network
connected to RSAs in the remote housings
⅏can manage non-vital communications using Modbus TCP protocol
