Definitions

  • This invention relates to a condition monitoring system for a railway network, a railway network comprising such a condition monitoring system, and a method of condition monitoring of railway equipment.
  • this invention relates to arranging for local compression or consolidation in condition monitoring systems, in order to reduce the communications bandwidth required to transmit condition monitoring or measuring data to a central system.
  • condition management data There is an increasing desire to gather condition management data from across the various different systems deployed within railway systems, in order to construct condition management systems, with the ultimate aim of improving reliability and availability of the railway.
  • blocks 1, 1' are field locations, for example trackside locations
  • block 2 is an "office" location, i.e. a centralised location, which may be remote from each field location 1, 1', and which houses complex or expensive equipment, and which may oversee operations at a number of different field locations.
  • office location i.e. a centralised location
  • two field locations 1 and 1' are shown in Fig. 1 , such systems may include any practical number of such field locations.
  • remote equipment 3 such as a points machine, track circuit equipment, signal lamp equipment is controlled by a remote equipment controller 4, which in turn is coupled with an interlocking 5 at the office location 2.
  • condition monitoring unit 6 for example a points machine current monitoring unit, coupled with the remote equipment 3 and which sends data to a condition management facility 7 at the office location 2.
  • condition management facility 7 is operable to collate and process the condition monitoring data received from the condition monitoring unit 6, to assess functioning of the equipment 3 and to determine if there are any errors occurring or maintenance issues to be addressed.
  • the system 7 may instigate maintenance activities on the equipment, in order to pre-empt failures.
  • a problem with this system is the need for a relatively large communications bandwidth, to transmit the condition monitoring data, which as noted above may be large, from the remote field location 1 to the office location 2.
  • the ideal solution consolidates the data just enough so that it can be carried by the available bandwidth. As long as relatively minor consolidation is performed, then adequate monitoring may still be achieved.
  • condition monitoring system in accordance with a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a condition monitoring system according to claim 1.
  • the present invention is suitable for both for retrofitting to existing installations, or for implementation in new installations.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows a condition monitoring system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As far as possible, similar components to those of Fig. 1 are denoted with similar reference numerals.
  • blocks 1, 1' are field locations, for example trackside locations
  • block 2 is an "office" location, i.e. a centralised location, which may be remote from each field location 1, 1', and which houses complex or expensive equipment, and which may oversee operations at a number of different field locations.
  • remote equipment 3 such as a points machine, track circuit or signal lamp
  • a remote equipment controller 4 which in turn is coupled with an interlocking 5 at the office location 2.
  • condition monitoring unit 6 for example a points machine current monitoring unit, coupled with the remote equipment 3.
  • a data consolidation unit 8 for consolidating said data, the functioning of which will be described in more detail below.
  • Data consolidation unit 8 sends consolidated condition monitoring data to a condition management facility 7 at the office location 2.
  • Each additional field location 1' may have similar equipment and connectivity to office location 2.
  • field locations are shown as having separate, individual connections to office location 2, however it is alternatively possible to use bus communication instead, such that each field location communicates with office location 2 via a common communications bus.
  • condition management algorithms at the office location 2 are adapted to process the consolidated data, and raise any necessary alarms and warnings.
  • data consolidation unit 8 performs consolidation of the condition monitoring data received from condition monitoring unit 6, to produce a number of discrete values representative of the waveform, such that the original waveform could be at least partially reconstructed from those discrete values.
  • Fig. 3 schematically shows a waveform representing the variation of a parameter ("A") over time (“t") during a discrete event.
  • parameters may comprise the current drawn by points motors during movement of the points, or the current / voltage measured within a particular track circuit during passage by a train.
  • the waveform shown is exemplary only, and generally the waveform will be dependent upon the parameter in question.
  • the waveform can, for example, be characterised by the following values:
  • processing means which may be located within condition monitoring unit 6, is set to identify the start and conclusion of the event by analysing the sensor data directly, e.g. by detecting a statistically significant change in the sensed value of the parameter, and correlating this to either the start or conclusion of an event.
  • the event may be detected by other means, for example point movement may be correlated with sensors mounted on the points to directly determine movement, or by synchronising the event duration with the application of current to the points motors.
  • condition monitoring unit 6 which analyses the incoming data, and consolidates it to produce as many representative values as required, such as those values set out above.
  • the consolidated data are then transmitted to the condition management facility 7 at the office location 2. This requires less bandwidth than transmission of original, unconsolidated data. Since the data is consolidated rather than compressed, no additional equipment / functionality is required at office location 2, although the algorithms employed by office location 2 must be adapted to process the consolidated data.
  • the consolidated data does not contain all the information of the original data obtained from the sensors provided at remote equipment 3, by suitable selection of the consolidation technique employed, sufficient information may be received by condition management facility 7 to enable adequate monitoring, fault detection / diagnosis and control of the remote equipment 3. Furthermore, in the case where the inventive methodology is retrofitted to an existing installation, the transmission may still be enabled over the existing communications system.
  • FIG. 2 shows data consolidation unit 8 being a separate component to condition monitoring unit 6.
  • consolidation means e.g. circuitry
  • each data consolidation means may be retro-fitted to existing condition monitoring units 6 / 6'.
  • the controlling software for condition monitoring unit 6 may be adapted to include data consolidation capabilities.
