SMR/SMCR CIRCUIT

•This relay is energized when the SM’s panel key is `IN’ and turned to Normal.•The Energisation of SMCR/SMR relay provides authorized operation of all the functions on the panel. •When SM’s key is turned to reverse and taken out from panel by SM, prevents un-authorized operation and locks the panel in the last operated position.

FOR SIGNALS 3,4,21 TSR IS COMBINED SINCE ALL THE THREESIGNALS ARE CONFLICTING TO EACH OTHER

SIGNAL KNOB REVERSE RELAY(RR) CIRUIT

The switches/knobs used are 2 position type – NORMAL and REVERSE

NORMAL : Signal will be at ‘ON’ condition.

REVERSE : Knob reverse relay RR picks up provided conflicting RRs in drop. The signal will be taken off provided all other conditions are favourable.

RR SIGNAL KNOB REVERSE RELAY

• Bridging of SMCR front contact with respective RR front contact facilitates locking up of SM’s panel after signal is taken off and prevents rising of signal when panel is locked.• Bridging of R band of signal switch with drop contact of SMCR prevents unauthorized normalization of signal in case SM locks up the panel. 

UCR CIRCUIT  One signal will have one UCR. UCR will be named after the signal number. 

This relay is normally de-energized relay. It energizes when ever signal knob is reversed or signal knob reversed and route button pressed, provided all other required conditions are available. 

In UCR circuit all points in route, overlap and isolation (set& locked) are proved . 

To achieve locking of conflicting signals, Front Contact of ASRs or back contacts of UCRs of conflicting signals are proved in UCR circuit.  

CH IN is also proved in UCR , so that once checking completed and route locked, further route should not be altered mechanically by cranking. 

UCR front contact is proved in HR circuit.  

UCR back contact is proved in ASR circuit. This is utilized to drop ASR as soon as UCR picks up i.e., to lock the Route as soon as it is checked. Back contact of UCR in ASR circuit also ensures that Signal knob is normalized before releasing the route.

ASR /ALSR CIRCUIT

• ALSR is a normally energized relay.

• Every signal will have one ALSR .

• Whenever a route is set and route-checking relay UCR is

energized it causes ALSR to drop and there by locks the

route.

• The drop contact of ALSR is proved in HR circuit to ensure

locking of that signal route before the signal is cleared.

• ASR can be combined for the signals which are conflicting to

each other

ASR

ASR gets energized through 3 ways. 

(i)    Only after the train travels on the entire route sequentially and

clears the route.

(ii)   On cancellation, with time delay when dead approach provided or

approach track occupied. 

(iii) On cancellation without any time delay when approach track is provided and clear.

When the train travels over the set route , ASR picks up only on the following conditions

• The train has arrived completely and cleared the entire route.

• The sequential route release relays UYR 1,2,3 have picked up indicating the sequential, directional movement and arrival of train.

• The signal is put back to `ON’ and the controlling relays & indication relays have dropped.

• The controlling switch if any, has been normalised .

• The track circuits in the entire route upto Berthing track have picked up behind the train.

• The approach path is provided for both starters.

Overlap Stick Relay Circuits - OVSR & OVJSLR

• OVSR is normally energized and drops whenever the signal is taken ‘OFF’ leading towards that overlap.

• OVSR UP is proved in the WLR circuit.

At HR stage all the conditions to be satisfied for clearing a signal are proved.

• Crank handles are ‘in’, i.e. proved by CHLRs up and CHFRs down.• Route Release Relays have de-energized after the last train movement

i.e UYR1, UYR2 etc., are down.• No cancellation is initiated i.e. JSLR down.• Interlocked LCs if any in the Route and overlap are locked and closed

against Road traffic (LXPR up) and held locked till the passage of that train is over.

• Conflicting signals are at ‘ON’ is proved by proving the front contact of ASRs or back contacts UCRs of conflicting signals.

• All points in the route, overlap and isolation are set and locked i.e. Concerned NWKRs, RWKRs are in up condition.

• Concerned to its own signal i.e        RR is up         UCR is up         ASR is down         One signal - one train feature (TSR up)

At HR stage all the conditions to be satisfied for clearing a signal are proved.

• All Back lock & and controlling tracks are clear i.e. TPRs concerned are up.

• Signal ahead is not blank (GECR up or RECR/HECR/DECR UP) • Route Indicator lamps are not lit for straight line (UHRs / UGRs and

UECR down) compulsory in case of Junction type Indicator • Route Indicator lamps are lit for loop lines (UGR or UHR and UECR up)• Sidings in the route & overlap are kept normal and held (siding

KLPR/NPR up).• Cross protection is provided for the signal control relay, by the Front contact of

ASR or Back contact of UCR. • Double cutting is provided by UCR up & ASR down

WLR CIRCUIT

WLR CIRCUIT

PCR CIRCUIT

With WLR up, the PCR heavy duty relay picks up.

PCR CIRCUIT

With PCR up 110v DC is extended to point location.

NWKR/RWKR CIRCUIT

• With WLR, RCR/NCR picked up, NWKR/RWKR drops.

• Thereby all indication relays& its repeater relays (NWKPRs, RWKPRs, NWKSRs, RWKSRs) drop.

NWR/RWR CIRCUIT

• With WLR up, all indication relays drop, NCR/RCR up, NWR/RWR will pick up at location

POINT OPERATION CIRCUIT AT LOCATION

• With NWR/RWR picks up, WJR picks up.

• There by WXR picks up and sticks with its own front contact.

• With WXR picking up, normal feed to WJR removed but WJR held in pick up through time delay condenser circuit.

WCR CIRCUIT

• With WXR, WJR, NWR/RWR up and WNKR/WRKR drop, WCR (QBCAI relay) picks up.

POINT OPERATION

• With WCR & NWR/RWR up, 110V DC available on bus bar is extended to point machines at A end & B end parallelly.

• Both points are set to Normal or Reverse.

WNKR/WRKR CIRCUIT• There by WNKR/WRKR picks up.

NWKR/RWKR CIRCUIT

• Energisation of WNKR/WRKR results in dropping of WJR, WCR, and NWR/RWR.

• With NWR/RWR dropping, WXR drops.

• Due to all controlling relays (WCR, WJR, WXR, NWR, RWR) at location dropping and WNKR/WRKR picking up, energizes indication relay NWKR/RWKR at relay room.  

POINT OPERATION

• Energisation of NWKR/RWKR results in dropping of WLR and locks the point electrically.  

• De-energisation of WLR in turn drops PCR1 /PCR2, thereby 110V DC is withdrawn from the location bus bar.

• In nutshell it can be concluded that point operation initiated, point unlocked, point operated & set, all point controlling relays de-energized, point indication obtained and point locked again.

INTERLOCKING OF LEVEL CROSSING GATE

INTERLOCKING OF LEVEL CROSSING GATE

Method – I • The level crossing annunciation relay (LCAR) is

kept normally energized in the gate lodge when

no route over the level crossing has been set.

• Any route is set, the concerned ASR/TRSR/TLSR

drops which in turn de-energizes LCAR.• This causes the road signal on either side of the level crossing to

display red aspect and the bells also start ringing.

• The Gate-man closes the gate and locks it, by taking out the key.
