Train management, diagnostics and control systems - UniTrack TCM

The train management, diagnostics and control system UniTrack represents a set of means covering a full range of control management tasks in railway vehicles. The system fully complies with technical IEC, EN and UIC standards (IEC 61375, EN 50155, UIC 556).

We are able to offer solutions for EMUs, DEMUs, locos and high-speed trains. Our performance has been confirmed by numerous customers' references, highly appreciating the advantages of TCN communication, reliability and the modern concept of a decentralised modular system. The QMS is certified to IRIS rev.02.

UniTrack TCMS consists of:

• Powerful vehicle computer for communication and for demanding control algorithms
• UniCAP software for developing user applications according to IEC 61131-3
• Monitoring and diagnostic system (MDS) platform according to UIC 557
• MVB, WTB, Ethernet and CAN Open in compliance with IEC61375
• RS232/422/485 interfaces

UniTrack, in combination with other UniControls products, represents a complete modular flexible on-board system for trains, underground trains and trams.

UIC Gateway (WTB / MVB, WTB / CAN) for rail communication systems

The UIC Gateway is the basic component for communication in trains and features single or redundant gateways in one rack. The UIC Gateway manages redundant data transfer between all devices in trains and vehicle computers in compliance with IEC 61375 and UIC 556.a

Unitrack PIREDI - passenger information, reservation and diagnostic system

The system provides passengers with visual information on external and internal information panels (based on LED and LCD technology) and with acoustic messages through the train's public address system. The diagnostic system in compliance with UIC 557 is the part of Unitrack PIREDI, while the system is based on GPS position, data for passengers, as well diagnostic system are communicated by GSM / UMTS or Wi-Fi wireless networks.

Unitrack CAM - video surveillance system

Unitrack CAM is based on digital solutions and intended for monitoring of passenger compartment, as well rear mirror functions. The images from IP cameras are recorded and simultaneously displayed on touch screen monitor, which is also used to control the system. The part of the system is also software for downloading stored data and evaluation of them.

Other ERS Unicontrols products include:

• Driver machine interface (DMI), including LCD touch-screen display and keyboard
• Speedometer
• Event recorder with local I/O
• Wireless data transfer units
