Maintenance Terminal Console (MTC) Networking
MTC Networking is a PC based HMI (Human Machine Interface) tool that provides real-time graphical display and system status replay (Playback), showing track circuits, points, signals, and other equipment, so that the interlocking status at any given time can be easily understood, for the stations under its control.
Purposes :
- Real-time monitoring and analysis of CBI events and other application signalling logic status
- Collection of data from CBI and playback as needed
- Supporting designers, testers, and maintainers to analyse the failures of CBI
- Automatically recording all system input, output, and data changes
Interfaces :
CBI (Computer Based Interlocking)
VDU (Visual Display Unit)
Track Layout Window
Graphics Window
Relay Status Window
State Tracker Window
System Status in Block diagram View
Field Equipment Status View
Features :
Real time data and failure identification
Online and Offline data analysis
Display of Online Circuit and Relay Statuses
Reporting
Archival of stored logs
Client Benefits :
User-friendly graphic and text-based evaluation of events
Problem Identification and Problem resolution is easy
Lower Maintenance costs for the signalling system including reduced Capital Costs
Playback (simulating) of failure events
Increased Revenue or Increased line capacity
Increased system availability due to earlier identification of potential failures, leading to timely fixes
