Block Proving through Digital Axle Counter using Single Section Digital
Axle Counter with UFSBI & Block Panel as per RDSO/SPN/188/2004

It is a non-co-operative, user-friendly push button type Block Instrument capable of providing the
last vehicle verification information in both single & double line sections. The Block Panel provided,
offers easy-to-understand audio-visual indications for all vital information. The unique design of
interlocking circuits and input/outputs through Q-series relays provide galvanic isolation, making
the system usable in both RE & Non-RE sections.
The system is media independent i.e. it works on Copper cable, OFC or microwave without
hampering the fail-safety of the operation. The schematic diagrams below show the working of
the system in Single & Double Line.

Block Proving with single section Digital Axle Counter & UFSBI
System Specifications:
The Block panel working with SSDAC, Relay
logic & UFSBI is manufactured as per the
RDSO’s guidelines. The system is defined as
following:
i) The Relay logic & UFSBI is housed in a
MS-Cabinet of dimensions 132 X 64 X
48 cm approx.
ii) The entire relay logic is implemented
through Q-series signaling relays (viz.
QN1, QNA1, QL1 and Electronic Timer
relays), which are RDSO approved.
iii) The UFSBI as per RDSO/SPN/147/97,
used in the system consists of Input
Cards (6 nos.), Output Card (2 nos.),
CPU card (3 nos.) Control Card (1
no.), a separate Leased Line Modem
and a DC-DC Converter based Power
Supply unit (with Hot Stand-by facility).
iv) The system functions on 24V DC
(+20%, -10%) and has an approximate
3 Amp (max.) current consumption.
v) The two units of the system are placed
at 2 stations, which, communicates
amongst themselves at 2400 baud.

Design Features
i) The Interlocking circuits as well as the UFSBI inputs are taken through Q-series relays
(conforming to spec. BRS: 930), providing galvanic isolation, thus making the system usable
in both RE and Non-RE sections.
ii) The system is designed to work with MACL, PI, RRI or SSI installations.
iii) Triple Modular Redundant fail-safe multiplexer working on 2 out of 3 logic ensures greater
level of safety and availability
iv) The software coding for inter-station signal transmission takes care of noise disruptions
generally encountered in the transmission system. It ensures safety of operation against
these noises by use of fail-safe data structure, message redundancy, minimum Hamming
distance of 5, etc.

Principle of working:
i) The trains are worked on Absolute Block system
ii) Each block section is provided with an Axle Counter to verify the occupation or clearance
of block section and for Last Vehicle Verification
iii) Last Stop Signal cannot be taken ‘OFF’ unless LINE CLEAR has been obtained from the
station in advance
iv) LINE CLEAR cannot be obtained unless block section and an adequate distance beyond
first stop signal of station in rear is clear of trains
v) The Last Stop Signal assumes ‘ON’ aspect automatically on entry of train into block section
and when so replaced, is maintained in its ‘ON’ position, till a fresh LINE CLEAR is obtained
on block panel
vi) Block section automatically shows Train on Line on panel when train enters into the block
section on line clear reading the status of the axle counter
vii) Train entry/exit buzzer, to/ from block section are provided and to be acknowledged
viii) Block section automatically closes on complete arrival of train at the receiving station
ix) A control key is provided to prevent the station in rear to take LINE CLEAR on its Block Panel
without taking consent of receiving station
x) It is possible to close the block section only, if no trains have entered the Block Section for
at least 120 seconds after application of cancellation with co-operation from station in rear

Fail-Safety Approvals:
This system comprises of 4 sub-systems each of which are validated separately for its fail-safety by
the relevant organizations:
ƒ Digital Axle Counter as per RDSO/SPN/177/2003 validated and approved for its fail-safety as per

ƒ 2/3 Failsafe Digital Multiplexer - UFSBI, validated and approved by RDSO for use in railways, as
per RDSO/SPN/147/97 (with latest amendments). Center of Knowledge Based Systems, Jadavpur
University, has done validation of Software as per CENELEC SIL-4 standards & hardware by IIT
Delhi
ƒ Relay interlocking circuits has been designed by RDSO.
ƒ Block Operating panel as per RDSO design. (Optionally, can be, incorporated in Domino type
operating panel or in a separate small table mounted form as per consignee’s requirement)
System approved by:
Research Design & Standards Organization (RDSO), Lucknow, Ministry of Railways, Govt. of India
