1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the technical details of Distributed Power Wireless Control System (DPWCS) used
in 3-Phase Electric Locomotives [of WAG9, WAG9H, WAP7 & WAP5 classes] being operated by Indian
Railways. The DPWCS System is designed to increase the throughput of the railway line tremendously
without much additional input. DPWCS operation enables heavy haul with minimum coupler forces. Under
DPWCS scheme, locomotives are distributed at different points in a long train and controlled through
wireless from the master, and slave locomotive crew can be eliminated, if desired.
DPWCS complete system consists:
1. Control & Communication Unit (CCU)
2. Brake Interface Unit (BIU)
3. Driver Interface unit (DIU)
4. Pressure Sensor Unit (PSU)

3.2 EQUIPMENT LEVEL INTERCONNECTION
The data inter-connection between various modules of DPWCS and the locomotive system is illustrated
above. The CCU communicates with VCU-2 through MVB optical medium. The BIU (1/2) communicates
with CCU (1/2) through asynchronous serial communication using optical medium. The DIU (1/2)
communicates with VCU (1/2) through electrical MVB, as existing in the present locomotives. The GPS
receiver module is intelligent and communicates with DIU (1/2) through RS-485 medium. Buzzer is
connected to each DIU, which is enabled the connection between E70 brake system and BIU comprises
analog and digital signals. The analog signals are for brake reference, and digital signals, which are at 110V
DC, represents different brake positions like release, run, service, initial application etc. obtained through
CAM switches. To operate marker light and Loco restart logic, respective CAB BIU’s connected to their
respective loco connections.

4.0 EQUIPMENT LEVEL EXPLANATION

4.1 CONTROL AND COMMUNICATION UNIT
The architecture of Control & Communication Unit (CCU) is comprises of a microcontroller and is
responsible for carrying out various DPWCS related tasks. Attached with the microcontroller is MVB
interface board. The MVB interface board provides connectivity to VCU over optical MVB. The
microcontroller is interfaced with BIU1 and BIU2 over asynchronous optical fibre bus. The radio is
interfaced with the microcontroller through serial RS-232 bus. The dipole antenna connection is using
coaxial cable. The antenna is mounted on roof-top above the cab portion. Power supply to microcontroller
is at 5V DC and to the radio is 12V DC, which are derived from 110V DC Loco battery using DC-DC
converters.

4.2 BRAKE INTERFACE UNIT
Brake Interface Unit interfaces the Faiveley E70 Brake Control system or Knorr Bremse CCB with DPWCS.
It has micro-controller unit for carrying out various tasks. The signals from A9 controller are routed
through the BIU using changeover switches. It has two modes viz. Master & Slave. When the locomotive
works as Master, the changeover switches are thrown to A9 controller side so that the signals from A9
controller (potentiometer value referring to brake pipe pressure reference & 110V digital signals
corresponding to handle position viz. release, run, initial application, full service and emergency) are
connected directly to the E70 controller. Further, during Master mode, the BIU will be able to read both
analog values and digital signals. The read values are sent to the slave over wireless for duplication in a
similar way. In the slave loco, the BP pressure reference and A9 controller positions are received from
Master over radio. The changeover switches in the BIU are switched to Slave mode, so that, A9 controller
is isolated and the values are generated and injected by BIU into E70 controller. As the reference values
are received from the master, the Slave will generate same braking effort and same braking conditions as
that of master. BIU can cut off the BP valve in slave loco (to make the slave loco work as a wagon in the
train - during radio signal loss conditions). In case of Knorr bremse brake controller, RS-485 signals will be
connected to LON to RS-485 Interface box through CCU. BIU also implements the logic for remote loco
restart. In case of any incipient problems with the slave loco, there may arise a need to restart the slave
loco remotely from master. By activating the restart command from the DIU, remote loco gets re-started.
For achieving this, the cab activating key (BL key) is interfaced with the BIU. When the loco is selected as
Slave, the red marker light will automatically become ON. For this purpose, the red marker circuit is
interfaced with BIU.

4.3 DRIVER INTERFACE UNIT

The DIU is one of the key elements of DPWCS, as most of the operations can be carried out
through DIU by the Driver. The DIU is designed in such a way that the same equipment can be
used either in DPWCS fitted locomotives or in normal locomotives, by suitably selecting the mode
of operation by the driver.
