MONITORING SYSTEM FOR POINT MACHINE AND METHODS THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a monitoring system and method for a line converter.

More specifically, the data input from each part of the line changer is collected to monitor the state of each part of the line changer, and when adjusting the parts of the line changer, the adjusted data is compared with the reference data so as to know whether or not it has been properly adjusted. It relates to a monitoring system and method of the line converter.

In general, a track changer is an important device for determining the course of a train by installing at a branch or plane intersection. The track control of a train is controlled by a centralized traffic control systems (CTC) device. It is transmitted to the interlocking device of each station, and this control command is transmitted to the line changer to change the line. The line changer drives the tap-off in response to the control command, and when the tap-changer is determined to switch correctly, the linkage device informs the train that the signal has been displayed.

Since the track diverter is installed close to the turnout, it is installed in a poor environment such as being shocked every time the train passes, so there is a possibility that various problems may occur from time to time and should be continuously maintained and inspected to prevent any abnormality. .
