In a major move to drive innovation in rail industries, Titagarh opens a new engineering centre in Bangalore. The centre will focus on new product development for Train Control & Monitoring Systems (TCMS), Propulsion Systems and will also play a key role in executing rolling stock projects.
More Details:
Titagarh Rail Systems Limited is thrilled to announce another milestone in innovation and design journey with the opening of a new engineering centre in Bangalore. This centre will focus on new product development for Train Control & Monitoring Systems (TCMS) and Propulsion Systems and will also play a key role in executing Titagarh Rail System Limited’s current and upcoming rolling stock projects. This is a testament to unwavering commitment to the future of Make in India, driven by creativity and a visionary spirit for a Viksit Bharat.
What is Train Control and Monitoring System:
- Train Control & Monitoring System (TCMS) is the heart of any propulsion system. TCMS controls and monitors all the important parameters from line side, motor side and control side of the propulsion.
- It establishes an interface among other subsystems like door, brake, and pantograph etc.
- It monitors the life signal of all processor cards; if any processor cards fail to respond to TCMS in a provided time then it isolates the system and declares it to be dead.
- TCMS commands other systems to take protective shutdown in case of any malfunction.
- TCMS provides the status (healthiness and failure) of the systems and subsystems in Driver Display Unit (DDU), even it helps to debug any issue related to sub-system.
Conclusion:
Titagarh’s announcement will provide further thrust to the R&D ecosystem in the railway sector. It will not only foster creativity and innovation but also further the research capabilities in the Control and Monitoring Systems, thus ensuring more safety and reliability on the Indian Railways.
