HCMT not doors but faults Flashcards
Substandard beacon read
one of the beacon readers failed to read the realise beacon, door status can be observed on the pictogram, driver is to:
make an announcement the affected door is not available, observe cameras and operate doors as normal- book TMM
if the affected door is required by wheel chair ramp ASDC OVERRIDE
ASDC beacon read failure (complete failure)
stopping aid will also fail, once stopped the eTis will alert the driver they will need to perform the procedure
1 make an announcement about short delay for doors
2 use the SDU to observe all cars are on the platform lead/rear
3 open the cab door and confirm platform side
4 press ASDC OVERRIDE button on platform side and select the first and last car on the pictogram, accept the selection and check that the green door indications on the HMI are the correct doors
5 press door release for platform side
6 book TMM
when might the stopping aid fail
when the TDN and stopping conditions do not align (or you’ve stopped somewhere you weren’t supposed too)
beacon read failure
screen failure
three categories of faults
electrical
pneumatic
mechanical
what does TMS stand for
train management system
what are the levels of alerts
1 high flashing red and tone
2 medium flashing yellow and tone
3 steady yellow
methods of fault rectification
reset with a button
trip and reset a CB (you get tries)
stable
stable for fault rectification
a hard stable is to be performed with permission at a platform or under protection of home signals and where a level crossing is not activated
Marker Light will extinguish
hard stable is not usual; first press panto lower, and ensure they have lowered if safe to do so, turn and hold stable turret for seven seconds and the train will shutdown without delay
- currently HCMT is prohibited from doing this on the mainline
what are the bypass switches
MR PRESSURE SWITCH
TRACTION INTERLOCK
ZERO SPEED
TRIP
DRIVER SAFETY DEVICE
HCS ISOLATE
MR pressure switch
for rescue scenarios with comeng as SL will open if HCMT MR drops below 600 and comeng operating pressure is 585-725 so it must be bypassed to avoid unwanted EMR brake application
Traction Interlock
aka door loop bypass if FDCL or light extinguished or door faults that’s cannot be rectified
Zero Speed
equipment that is linked to speed eg doors
safety loop not resetting in neutral
stopping aid not functioning properly or at all
Trip
removes the trip device from the SL
Driver Safety Device
vigilance / pilot removed from safety loop.
post trip activation speed restrictions will not function if this is isolated
Get Home mode is a bypass button
it latches in when pressed in the event of a PWM pulse width module failure.
operate this button when prompted by the TMS, you will experience 100% or traction when under 5km/h regardless of position of MC and 50% when above.
in the braking zone only 75% effort is available.
HCS isolate
isolated the high capacity signalling completely
aim of get home mode
to cause a lower power map making traction the lowest / safest setting to get you to the nearest siding available
electrical faults categories
CB, traction or auxiliary power
if a fault develops the driver will get a TMS alert
most systems will self isolate
MCBs
most common, come with a TMS alert, you may attempt to reset twice, if it keeps occurring leave it tripped and book. you cannot access saloon area MCBs these are associated with:
doors
smoke alarms
PI
local panto
brake control
traction control
HVACs
IFD internal fire doors
what are the single point failure MCBS
cab activation - power /badge reader
traction control - master controller
emergency brake loop power supply - emergency brakes apply train must be sandwiched all bogies and park brakes isolated
brake control supply - monitors service brakes releasing, BCU health, 0 speed relay, holding brake release, get home mode, coupling, rescue mode and park brakes
Traction and Auxiliary Power System Faults
protected by the HSBC on that car, systems may fail separately or simultaneously. if simeltaneous it is likely a HSCB tripping on that car caused by a train fault or an overhead fault.
the position of the HSCB can be checked on main status screen high voltage status.
if promoted press TCU ACU reset. if problem keeps occurring just leave it and lodge TMM
emergency brake won’t release
ESB
vigilance
MC
Pilot valve not set
trip
low MR
EB or OPERATOR ENABLE l or Vigilance circuit breaker has tripped
WOLO
80 line specific 55 and rising
70 junction specific 58 and rising
headlights hours of darkness
advise TC
50 between stations/ crossing loops
15 level crossings yards stations
white markers must work
frequent whistle
(hours of daylight 50 through MURL and west richmond tunnel)
