    Automatic, manual and test mode

    • Automatic – heating intensity is selected according to evaluated input conditions to avoid overheating and unnecessary cooling cycles
    • Manual – heating started as currently needed, for up to 60 minutes
    • Test – an easy check of the whole system’s functionality

Product:

Electric heating and control of switches

This new generation of equipment is a sophisticated solution for heating and controlling railway switches. It is designed with an emphasis on energy efficiency, thanks to an advanced algorithm and a unique combination of sensors. Each solution is tailored to meet the specific requirements of the private or public rail transport segment.

The project is co-financed by the European Union.
Project registration number: CZ,OI 1

  • Lower energy demand
  • No unnecessary heating
  • Operational reliability and safety
  • Remote monitoring and service

Key features

  • Versatile heating control:

    The system offers three heating control modes – automatic, manual and test. Automatic mode is optimised for maximum energy efficiency, manual mode lets the user start heating as currently needed for up to 60 minutes, and test mode allows an easy check of the whole system’s functionality.

  • Sensors:

    Each switch is fitted with two temperature sensors to obtain the reference and the current rail temperature. The system also includes a rain gauge, a thermometer and a hygrometer for comprehensive monitoring of the environment.

  • Communication:

    Flexible remote communication options via the Modbus protocol or an API.

  • Local weather forecast:

    A local weather forecast makes heating control more efficient based on expected conditions.
