Fully redundant systems

Compatible

Digital and analogue interfaces

IP interfaces

Standard (Eulynx) and vendor specific interfaces available

Robust wheel detection

Wheel detection cannot be disturbed or falsified by

neither coins, keys, safety boots nor other metal objects

axle oscillation and small wheel flanges

Proven

More than 50 infrastructure managers have chosen Az LM

More than 150,000 wheel sensors in SIL4 application in main line and urban rail

Infrastructure and operating costs

Hitachi Rail Az LM keeps the infrastructure manager’s investments into axle counter systems low over the whole life time

CAPEX

For classical architectures with copper cabling: cable cost saving with only 1 wire pair per detection point

For all IP architectures: every interface of Az LM can be put on an IP network

OPEX

Availability champion

Virtually maintenance free

No cost for dismounting of wheel sensors for tamping and rail grinding

Strong obsolescence management offering fit-form-function replacements over decades

Line availability

Custom-tailoring of the availability of the system to the concrete need, keeping the recovery time after a service affecting failure well below threshold.

Availability engineering comprises:

  • the design of the product,
  • all interfaces to its environment (e.g. electro-magnetic compatibility),
  • maintenance procedures &
  • component failure prediction

Versatile

Due to the modular architecture, Hitachi axle counters integrate seamlessly into any signalling system architecture, no matter if centralised or decentralised.

Successful cases for any application:

  • main line
  • urban rail
  • mixed gauge tracks

Training

Know-how transfer scalable to any investment policy.

Rail Academy trains:

  • engineering staff
  • installation and maintenance staff
  • subject matter experts and trainers
