KONTRAC - TRAIN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

KONTRAC - TRAIN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TRADITION, KNOWLEDGE, RESPONSIBILITY For almost three decades we have been helping our clients in solving challenges related to control, electronics, communication and ICT issues in railway sector. We have specialized ourselves in R&D and delivery of solutions, which are highly customized to individual customers’ needs. We always strive towards finding the optimal solution for both sides. Three key elements are crucial for our approach. Firstly, we treat our customers as equal partners in defining system requirements and as a part of our team in finding...

KONTRAC - TRAIN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM All our products are characterized as long-life and highly reliable. Furthermore, our smart obsolescence management makes our modular HW&SW platform backward compatible during at least 20 years. In practice, this means that every newly developed HW module can be easily integrated into every generation of our platforms, from the oldest to the newest one. In terms of costs, it means that in order to add or change the system functionalities you do not need to change the whole system, but only single modules. The same philosophy is applied in our software...

KONTRAC - TRAIN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM KEY BENEFITS Scalability // modularity KONTRAC TCMS can be easily integrated into various rail vehicles, thanks to its modular platform. It is developed not only for new, modern vehicles but also for modernization/refurbishment of vehicles, such as locomotives. The system can be upgraded or changed anytime, if there is need for it. The system can be also used for control, monitoring, and management of power converters. Customization // Reliability // Availability // Maintainability. KONTRAC TCMS architecture allows customers to choose the configuration...

KONTRAC - TRAIN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM KEY BENEFITS Robustness // harsh environment Many manufacturers are trying to show robustness and reliability of their equipment. We are not trying to convince you the same by just giving you specifications and numbers. What we can do is give you the real-life example. Our equipment, which is being used in a hydro power plant in Costa Rica was completely flooded in 2009. and covered with the mud. This is the same HW&SW platform used for KONTRAC TCMS. Afterward, all modules were simply washed, dried, individually examined and plugged back in the rack....

KONTRAC - TRAIN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM KEY BENEFITS Compliance with the highest safety requirements The same proprietary HW&SW platform is used in our railway crossing solution with the highest functional safety level, SIL4. Unique graphical programming tool Our experience in embedded control solutions goes back almost 30 years. Simultaneously with development of our first embedded control system, we launched the first generation of Grap-IDE. The mission of Grap-IDE was to provide application engineers intuitive and easy to use graphical programming tool. It follows our modular platform...
