TCMS(Train Control and Monitoring System)

The Train Control and Monitoring System (TCMS) is a system that controls and monitors the status of major electrical components such as electric trains, consisting of a central control unit (CCU), vehicle control unit (VCU) and driver display unit (DU) for driver.

Characteristics of TCMS

High-speed distributed processing system

Stable system implementation using high-speed CPU and distributed processing system structure
Integration of Distributed Data Processing collects the necessary information for each vehicle and processes it in real time
Implementation of a simple and reliable system through organized communication with various electronic devices and data integration with input/output boards

TCN(Train Communication Network)

Information delivery through the establishment of a communication system that satisfies TCN (Train Communication Network, IEC-61375), an international standard communication method
Highly reliable communication that allows quick and accurate action against faults with fast response characteristics
Open communication that allows information transfer and operation of devices between different manufacturers
Independent communication that can minimize the impact of failure on other systems

Real-Time OS

Use of highly reliable and proven OS
Minimize software modifications due to hardware changes
In the event of a failure, the cause of the failure can be quickly and easily traced.
User-friendly vehicle logic can be created using UML programs.

Functions of TCMS

Monitoring function

Provides information on normal operation and failure of major electrical components
Provides status information of major electrical equipment through pre-departure testing
Provides information on failure history of major electrical components upon arrival at vehicle depot
Monitoring the status of devices such as propulsion, brakes, power supply, doors, air conditioners, lighting, etc.

Control function

Transmitting and receiving information necessary for control according to the status of major electrical equipment
Perform driver's driving and control commands
Towing and braking command output
Door control and monitoring

Display function

Displays the status of various devices required for train operation in real time
Displays operating status information of major electrical components
Displays various failure history information that occurred during operation

Maintenance support function

Record the operating status and breakdown status of trains that occur during operation
Collection and recording of operating information that appears while driving
Convenient and efficient vehicle inspection and maintenance support using portable devices

CCU (Central Control Unit)

As a central control device for TCMS, it is installed in the driver's
cab of a train and performs status control and monitoring of the
main functions of the vehicle in which the cab is installed.
It also performs the function of controlling the train and collecting
status information through communication with VCUs.

VCU (Vehicle Control Unit)

Installed in a passenger car, it collects the status of electrical
equipment and transmits it to the CCU, and transmits control
commands received from the CCU to the relevant
electrical equipment.

DU (Display Unit)

It is a screen display device installed in the driver's cab that
displays various train information that occurs during train
operation or maintenance, allowing the driver to take effective
and quick action. The screen device is connected to the train
control and monitoring system through MVB communication
or Ethernet communication.

MVB_IO

It is a stand-alone type digital input/output device that collects
the status of electrical equipment installed in the vehicle and
transmits it to TCMS, and transmits control commands
received from TCMS to the relevant electrical equipment.
The MVB_IO device is connected to the train control system,
TCMS, through the MVB communication network.
