The document outlines the operation and control of various railway relay circuits, including the Station Masters Control Relay (SMCR), Track Stick Relay (TSR), and Route Checking Relay (UCR). It details how these relays ensure authorized operation, signal control, and point locking mechanisms to maintain safety and efficiency in railway signaling. Additionally, it describes the interlocking systems that prevent unauthorized actions and ensure proper routing of trains.

Relay Interlocking (British)

Circuits (Non Route setting type)


SMCR/SMR: Station Masters Control Relay

This relay is energized when the SM’s panel key is `IN’ and turned
to Normal.

The Energisation of SMCR/SMR relay provides authorized


operation of all the functions on the panel.

When SM’s key is turned to reverse and taken out from panel by
SM, prevents un-authorized operation and locks the panel in the
last operated position.

The pick up contacts of SMCR are used in knob circuits, button


circuits, point operation circuits, route initiation circuits, route
cancellation circuits, emergency circuits, crack handle circuits,
timer circuits etc.

Repeaters of SMCR may be made as required.


Track Stick Relay (TSR) Circuits.
This is a one signal-one train (one movement) circuit.
The stick relay is controlled by the first track circuit immediately
in advance of the signal and the normal position of the concerned
signal knob.
The pickup contact of the relay is used in the signal control
circuit (HR).
After the train passes the signal and the control track is
occupied, TSR drops and the signal is put back to `ON’.
To pick up TSR again, the signal switch has to be made normal
and/or the dropping of controlling relays RR, HR and picking up
of ASR.
Only after picking of TSR, the signal knob can be reversed to take
off signal for the next train.
Thereby TSR ensures one signal – one train feature.
TSR Circuit
Combined TSR circuit can be made for signals leading to the same
route (ie.signals conflicting in nature) and having common
controlling track circuit.
For Home signal with `CO’ ON & Shunt on the same post or starter
signals of different lines leading towards same route or a starter
signal with shunt below it.
It is only to reduce power consumption and economise number of
TSR relays and associated wiring.
Track circuit immediately after the signal or nearest common TC must be taken to
replace the signal soon after the train passes. Hence in big yards where it is not
possible, separate TSR may be made.

Signal knob Reverse Relay (RR) Circuit
On panels where knobs/switches are provided for operation of
signals, the knob reverse relay `RR’ is used.

After the points are correctly set and locked, the signal knob is
turned with SM’s key `IN’, the `RR’ picks up, then the UCR picks
up, ASR drops and HR picks up and the signal is taken off.

On complete arrival of train the signal knob is turned back to


normal position and RR drops and the route gets released.
Bridging of SMCR front contact with respective RR front contact
prevents rising of signal when panel is locked.

Bridging of R band of signal switch with drop contact of SMCR


prevents unauthorized normalization of signal

ROUTE CHECKING RELAY CIRCUIT (UCR)
 Once the points are set in to the required position by
operating point knobs manually, the setting of route is
completed.
 Energisation of NWKR/RWKR indicates that points are set
and locked.
 After setting the route, it is to be checked.
 This is achieved by picking up UCR (Route Checking
Relay).
 Each signal will have its own UCR. UCR will be named
after the signal number.
 This relay is normally de-energized relay. It energizes
when ever signal knob is reversed or signal knob
reversed and route button pressed, provided all other
required conditions are available,
Conditions proved in UCR :
(1) All points in route, overlap and isolation (set& locked) ( NWKR/RWKR is up )

(2) Front Contact of ASRs or back contacts of UCRs of conflicting signals

(3) All crank handles in the rote and overlap are locked (CHLR up )
(4) Signal has been initiated (RR picked up)

 UCR front contact is proved in HR circuit.

 UCR back contact is proved in ASR circuit. This is utilised to drop ASR as soon
UCR picks up i.e., to lock the Route as soon as it is checked.

 Back contact of UCR in ASR circuit also ensures that Signal knob is normalised
before releasing the route.

It mainly consists of 3 types of locking

(a)Indication locking.

(b) Back locking.

(c) Approach locking


ASR CIRCUIT
4TH WAY TO ENERGISE ASR

(iv) Calling on Cancellation:

When ever due to Back locking track circuit failures, the route is
locked (ASR not picked) to cancel the locked route operate
calling on knob Reverse there by calling on ASR drops.

Immediately calling on knob is normalized and calling on


cancellation is initiated (CO-CAR up).

Calling on NJPR picks up after 120 seconds time delay which


picks up the Main signal ASR.

This way the route is released with out S&T Person’s


intervention.

POINT CONTROL & OPERATION CIRCUITS
NCR / RCR circuit

NCR is energized for normal operation of point when point knob is


turned to normal.

RCR is energized for reverse operation of the point when point knob
is turned to reverse.

The normal and reverse contacts of knob are bridged by SMR back
contacts, thereby point remains in last operated position when the
SM locks the panel.

Either NCR or RCR always remains in energized position till the point
knob is turned to the other side.
NCR & RCR Circuits
POINT LOCK RELAY - WLR
WLR is normally in de-energized state .
When de-energised It locks the point electrically.
WLR relay gets energized whenever NCR/RCR energizes with the
turning of point knob, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
When the point is set and indication relay is energized, WLR drops
and locks the point electrically.
WLR picks when the following conditions are satisfied

(a) All the signal ASRs in whose route that point is included are in up
condition.
(b) All OVSRs for that point are in up condition.
(c) Point zone tracks are clear
(d) Track locking is bypassed by its own front contact to allow the
completion of point operation which has started before the
occupation of point zone track circuit
(e) In some railways crank handle ‘IN’ is also proved.
When WLR picks up it in turn picks up PCR (power control
relay)-heavy duty QBCAI relay.
Through PCR front contacts 110V DC for point operation
is extended to location
Through the Indication circuit, NWKR/RWKR at relay
room is picked up and makes WLR to drop.
In nutshell it can be concluded that point operation
initiated, point unlocked, point operated & set, point
indication obtained and point locked again.

When ever the signal is taken off, the concerned ASR drops and
locks the point i.e. it does not allow WLR to pick up though the
point knob is turned.
