8. 8
2 types of systems
1. Conventional systems -
- directly connected from main controller to sensor / relays
- may use proprietary tecnolologies
- Usually stand alone systems
- hard wired / direct attached cables
- 1 or 2-pair twisted pair cables / coaxial cables
- may use star / daisy-chain / bus design

9. 9
2 types of systems
2. IP / Ethernet based systems
- ruggedised Ethernet solutions (100BaseT or 1000BaseTX)
- connect devices to Ethernet switch
- networked : different systems may communicate with each other
- different IP systems may share a common cabling/network
- 2 or 4 pair twisted pair cables
- usually includes a multimode fiber backbone.
- use star configuration

10. 10
Advantages of IP based systems
1. Remote Monitoring
- anytime / anywhere monitoring & control
2. Inter-connected
- ease of integrating with different systems
- wireless transmission
3. Common infrastructure
- storage / cabling / communications
- economies of scale
4. Commonly understood technology / protocol
- based on international standards
- faster training / greater pool of skilled staff
5. Power over Ethernet
- power and data over single twisted pair cable.

11. 11
Challenges in rail systems
1. Vibration
- train moving on tracks at high speed
2. Electromagnetic Interference
- caused by unknown external environments & electrical equipment
3. Extreme Temperature
- caused by engines and air-conditioning plants
4. Shock
- uneven terrain and sudden stopping/movement
5. Water & dust
- exposed to atmospheric pollution

12. 12
Requirements for rail cabling solutions
