The Logiplus badge reader system controls the access to the train and to the cab. The badge contains driver identification and other train mission data and allows to speed up the data entry phase. The system include a Base Station, Desktop Unit and Central Unit. The base station is installed behind the outer wall of the train or on the dashboard. IP65 waterproof level is achieved.
Each station is equipped with LED’s, a buzzer and a relay to activate the door’s gate.
Up to 4 base stations can be connected to the Central Unit. The desktop unit is directly powered from the train battery and has a dedicated ethernet link at 10/100 Mbits foreseen for the communication with the Train Control Monitoring System. It can be used in stand-alone mode or connected to the Central Unit for redundant power supply.
The badge is optically detected by a dedicated circuitry and a contact “Badge Present” is activated. This circuitry is independant from the internal processor for safety reasons.
The badge is used as a remote storage unit and can store various information such as driver’s identification, seat position, set point for air conditioning and any other settings required. The Central Unit is directly powered from the train battery and connected to the base stations.
An ethernet link at 10/100 Mbits is foreseen for the communication with the Train Control Monitoring System.
The Central Unit has a backed-up real-time clock and stores a history log. Optional relays output for train standby control or illumination control, optional SD-card for data storage and black list management.
