UTB is a fully electronic level crossing control system developed entirely in Hungary for the automatic, train-operated control of level crossings on open lines. It operates and monitors the level crossing signals, barrier machines and – where present – the railway signals. Members of the family were developed for the specific needs of different railways: for the Hungarian suburban (HÉV) lines, the Bosnian railways and the national railways.
The MAS-01 control equipment provides automatic, train-operated control of level crossings on open lines. It operates and monitors the level crossing signals and barrier machines and – in the types that have them – the railway signals.
The MA-SR equipment was developed to supplement station interlockings and to operate station level crossings. It can protect level crossings that are either interlocked with or monitored by a signal. Its circuit design, modular construction, built-in power supply and outdoor housing make it easy to adapt to the requirements of different interlockings and sites.
Block signalling equipment prevents trains from running into each other or towards each other on open lines. Two types of our equipment for this task are currently in operation.
The EVM on-board equipment increases the overall safety of train operation. It decodes and displays the coded 75 Hz signal received from the track and checks that the signal aspect is obeyed, and it also monitors the alertness and fitness of the driver. If the driver does not react properly to warnings, the equipment stops the train with an emergency brake application.
We developed our individual point control equipment to allow safe and convenient operation of individual points that are not controlled by any other interlocking. Railway staff set the points by wireless remote control or with a push button, and a two-aspect dwarf signal next to the points shows the train crew the end position of the points and the other conditions for safe movement.
The MA-KVE intermediate detection can be used to report the electrical end position of turnouts with a switch rail opening of 60–170 mm.
Our loading protection equipment provides the safety interlocking between rail traffic and loading operations at the transhipment points of industrial sites. Starting the loading and moving the train are made mutually exclusive.
The MA-HVH-01-K point machine family can operate turnouts with conventional clamp locks or Spherolock locking, and large-radius turnouts with Hydrolink power transmission. It locks them hydraulically or mechanically, and detects and reports their end position electrically.
The MA-HVH point machine moves the switch rails of railway turnouts using electrically generated hydraulic power, locks them hydraulically and mechanically, and detects their end position electrically. It is suitable for both simple and large-radius turnouts.
The MA-HSH-03 hydraulic barrier machine is an electrically controlled, pneumo-hydromechanically driven mechanism. When commanded, it physically closes road traffic at level crossings, lights the barrier boom with flashing lights and reports the position of the boom. It can be installed both on open lines and in stations.
Our point machines are also available in a version that can electrically operate and detect derailers.
A complete, modular system based on many years of construction experience – from the pole-mounted transformer station supplying the power to the heating elements.
The 13 kHz track circuit unit is an electronic device built with printed circuit technology. It is used as a train detection element, mainly in level crossing protection equipment.
The 75 Hz electronic receiver is the train detection element of coded track circuits. It detects whether the track is clear or occupied and recognises insulation failures of the insulated rail joints separating consecutive block sections.
We designed the track relay replacement module to replace track relays with electronic devices. The module receives the signal from the track at its input, then amplifies and evaluates it in two channels. Its output is provided by the contacts of safety relays.
We designed the MELI family of electronic safety timers for railway signalling applications. The devices perform timing tasks of different durations at different safety levels.
When station and line level crossing barriers are closed manually, the unit reduces the risk of them being left closed by sounding an acoustic signal at intervals until they are released.
The MA-IFF light source is a fully compatible replacement for the signal bulbs in the railway and road signals of railway equipment. Thanks to its long life, good visibility and additional functions it is a cost-effective long-term solution. Its expected life is about twenty times that of a bulb, so disruptions caused by burnt-out bulbs and operating costs are reduced to a fraction.
For free-wired circuits we offer our boxed safety (class 2) relays. Each unit contains one relay.
Our modular power supply system can feed the various types of signalling loads according to their requirements. Its system design keeps the quality of the supply free from disturbances on the AC mains feeding the equipment. If the equipment or a part of it fails, interchangeable modules keep troubleshooting time short, and supply continuity and quality are maintained during replacement. The system is built from functional subsystems that can also be used on their own.
The equipment generates and monitors the coded 75 Hz supply voltages used to feed track circuits and radiating cables. In its full configuration it generates all codes used by the Hungarian railways. It continuously checks the codes sent to the track and the correctness of the coding, and regularly tests its own circuits. Its design has been proven to meet the safety requirements.
The MATÜA-01 code transmitter interrupts (codes) the 220 V / 75 Hz primary supply of 75 Hz track circuits. It replaces the earlier group of three separate units (code transmitter, code follower, power supply) that performed this task, and also meets additional requirements that could not be met with the earlier code transmitter.
The MÜA120-01 electronic code transmitter – an add-on unit for the MATÜA-01 block code transmitter – generates the 120 km/h track information (the so-called 4* code) in the 75 Hz track circuits of signalling equipment, which is needed to operate EVM-120 train stop equipment.
The MA-BL-24/16 DC flasher unit supplies the 24 V DC flashing lights in the signalling equipment of MÁV.
The SAT switched-mode battery chargers are designed for charging sealed (gel) batteries.
The forces measurable between the point machine and the points are important characteristics of how the two work together. Regular force measurements make it possible to diagnose the connection between points and point machine and to find faults and throwing problems.
The device allows the train control equipment installed on a locomotive to be tested while the locomotive is stationary.
The ER-2 event recorder system records, stores and displays the operating data of relay-based signalling equipment and supports its evaluation. It was developed for the relay interlockings of Műszer Automatika Ltd., but can also receive data from other equipment.
The LEDGYSZM power unit supplies the explosion-proof LSzR-150-RB LED light source with intrinsically safe power from outside the hazardous area, and monitors its operation in line with railway safety requirements.
The SzSF-00 cable termination box is used along railway tracks to house various electronic units and to make their electrical connections.
A reinforced, self-supporting, one-piece stainless steel level crossing control cabinet with 4 doors and safety locks standardised by the railways.
The concrete housing was designed to accommodate and mechanically protect the UTB electronic level crossing control equipment. It allows safe, weather-protected operation and convenient servicing by maintenance staff.
