Line level crossing control equipment

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 equipment either reports to the nearest railway traffic control point or informs railway staff about its operation through the railway signal.

Within the family – following the equipment used by the Hungarian railways – we have developed several types, which differ in their operating principle and in the method of train detection.

Types

MAS-01/1 – with automatic block A type that works together with automatic block equipment.

MAS-01/2 – with point detection Equipment with 13 kHz train detection that handles 3 approaching and 3 departing trains.

MAS-01/5 – with axle counters Equipment with axle counter occupancy detection.

MAS-01/7 – signal-protected Equipment supplemented with railway protecting signals. Train detection is 13 kHz. It can also be operated without a supervising location.

The members of the MAS-01 family are safety relay systems built with modern technology in a modular design.

Within the design limits, our equipment can be flexibly adapted to site requirements: adding a further road light signal or half barriers can be done by changing the so-called program wiring between the spring-clamp terminals and inserting the appropriate module.

We recommend our event recorder system for these types, which allows problems to be located even after the event. GSM remote data retrieval has proved to be an effective tool for continuously monitoring the state of the equipment and for resolving technical problems.
