APAX
New generation of axle counters APAX – cutting edge solution that brings together nearly three decades of experience gained through projects worldwide.
APAX is a IoT-based axle counter system used for all types of train detection applications. It consists of indoor evaluation unit and a reliable, proven ZK24 product family sensor. Its design follows „customer first“ philosophy which enables maximum flexibility and configurability during explotation in a wide variety of applications.
- Simple and robust axle counting solution
- 2 wire connection from indoor to outdoor equipment
- Up to 20 km distance between sensor and BO23 evaluator
Applications
- Railway lines: standard, freight, metro, rubber-tyred metro, tram, APM, monorail
- Level crossing protection
- Treadle
- Fail safe data transmission
User-friendly applications
- Intuitive application Designer for track layout design
- Powerful application Configurator for solution configuration design. Works in synchronization with Designer
- WEB server CENDIS for remote and in real-time monitoring of axle counters with permission of access. Data is available on global level with locations, real-time main statuses and all diagnostic data details
Functionality
Topology of the system and parameters of train kinematics are used to confirm the results of standard detection with voting on the level of single subsystem in voting architectures 2 out of 2.
Safety
APAX is designed for the highest safety integrity level (SIL) 4, developed according to EU legislation, specifically ERA technical specification ERTMS 033281 and multiple standards: EN50126, EN50716, EN50129, EN50159, EN50716, EN50617-2.
Maintenance
Maintenance is reduced to a minimum. Hot swap technology, advanced diagnostics with preventive maintenance features, advanced evaluator architecture, easy sensor calibration and remote data collecting are just some of the APAX advanced maintenance functions.
Connectivity
It can be a centralized and decentralized system with interconnected subsystems via redundant CAN or Ethernet communication buses. Connection to relay or electronic interlockings is realized through safe I/O or communication protocols.
Analytics
Diagnostic application used for data acquisition and analysis:
- Single local connection to PC (through USB or wire Ethernet connection) for complete system
- WEB server CENDIS (central diagnostic system)
