20、:2013 - 4 - Introduction This Technical Specification defines the interference limits and evaluation criteria for electromagnetic compatibility between rolling stock and axle counter detectors. The limits have been defined on the basis of a test specification described in prEN 50617-2:2013 2 (cf. CL
21、C/SC9XA/Sec0779/CD) (laboratory tests). This Technical Specification defines a set of interference limits for magnetic fields resulting from both rail current and equipment on board the vehicles, evaluation criteria to verify rolling stock emissions and demonstrate compatibility with the interferenc
22、e limits for magnetic fields, traceability of requirements (type of axle counter detectors considered for the limits). In the relevant frequency range of the axle counter detectors, the magnetic field is dominant and only this type of field is considered. Experience has shown that the effects of ele
23、ctric fields are insignificant and therefore not considered. PD CLC/TS 50238-3:2013- 5 - CLC/TS 50238-3:2013 1 Scope For the purpose of demonstrating compatibility between rolling stock and axle counter detectors, this Technical Specification defines the interference limits and evaluation methods to
24、 verify rolling stock emissions. Wheel sensors and crossing loops are not covered by this Technical Specification. This Technical Specification gives recommended individual limits to be applied to establish compatibility between RST and all selected types of axle counter detectors, including any cov
25、ered by national standards. The list of selected types of axle counters and their limits for compatibility are drawn on the basis of established performance criteria. It is expected that the trend for newly signalled interoperable lines will be fitted with types that meet the compatibility limits pu
26、blished in the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERA/ERTMS/033281). To ensure adequate operational availability, it is essential that the rolling stock complies with the defined limits; otherwise, the established availability of the valid output function of axle counter detectors may be compromised. NOTE
27、 The influences from metal parts or inductively coupled resonant circuits on the vehicle, eddy current brakes or magnetic brakes, are not covered by this Technical Specification but are considered on the basis of national technical specifications. 2 Normative references The following documents, in w

The influence of magnetic fields in the range of
36、 the working frequency of the individual axle counters is dominant. In addition, the duration and/or repetition rate of interference and the magnetic field strength are also relevant. 4.1.2 Axle counter detector The compatibility limits in this Technical Specification are based on the immunity of ax
37、le counter detectors and are specified only for the axle counter detector comprising the sensor on the rail and the detection circuits in the trackside equipment as shown in Figure 1. PD CLC/TS 50238-3:2013- 7 - CLC/TS 50238-3:2013 Figure 1 Axle counter detector, schematic diagram Axle counter detec
38、tors use various additional filter techniques and algorithms that reject interference pulses in order to maximise reliability while maintaining safety. EXAMPLES non-linear pulse duration filters which reject wheel pulses of a duration less than the minimum wheel pulse from a vehicle; rejection of wh
39、eel pulses in one channel if the axle counter is already in an occupied status. 4.1.3 Susceptibility of the detector on the rail The precise area of susceptibility is product specific, and defined by manufacturers of individual products. The position of the measurement antenna has been chosen to tak
40、e into account the relevant sensors. The immunity (susceptibility limit) is defined as the magnetic field that can generate interference pulses or corrupt the wheel pulses of one or more channels of the axle counter detector. The magnetic coupling between the transmission and reception units of the
41、axle counter sensor depends among other things on the rail type. Large rail profiles like UIC 60 profiles, which provide higher attenuation of the receiver voltage, are therefore more critical with respect to the susceptibility. 4.1.4 Sources of interference fields The following sources of interfere
42、nce are considered for immunity: electrical equipment on the vehicle and magnetically coupled to the axle counter sensor through the air gap (hence referred to as magnetic fields); rail currents in the susceptibility range of operation of the axle counter sensor (hence referred to as rail current fi
43、elds). The interference fields from the two above defined sources are superimposed on the axle counter sensor whereby the vector of rail current fields has a predictable direction and the vector of magnetic fields has an unpredictable direction, because it is dependent on the source on the vehicle a

A safety margin is therefore not required, but a margin is required to meet the performance requirements with r
46、egard to reliability of counting. If the interference limit of the axle counter detector is exceeded and a resulting spurious wheel pulse is generated, this may or may not lead to a failure of the axle counter system. A margin of 9 dB accounts for the following factors: 6 dB signal to noise ratio to
47、 meet the probability requirements for miscount within the established equipment operating tolerances; 3 dB accounting for uncertainty of measuring chain, positioning of the measurement antenna, overlapping effects (analysing methods), other environmental effects affecting interference (rain, temper
48、ature, etc.). 4.3 Specific axle counter parameters The interference susceptibility of axle counter detectors depends, among other things, on the amplitude and the duration, for which the interference magnetic field is present. For continuous interference, the limits are lower than for short duration
49、 (transient) interference. 5 Compatibility requirements 5.1 RST emission limits based on the frequency management of the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERA/ERTMS/033281) For future developments of rolling stock and axle counter detectors with the aim to decrease the development risk and to minimise the homologation effort for both rolling stock and axle counter detectors, a mandatory European frequency management is specified in the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERA/ERTMS/033281). The FM also defines out-o
