When using the FAdC or the FAdCi with a software interface, up to 35% of the project costs for train detection systems can be saved, compared with conventional axle counting systems with relay interface.
The potential for savings on customers’ internal expenses is considerably higher than the cost reduction in purchasing the axle counting system.
The configuration of the FAdC and FAdCi takes place using an open, universal format. This can be incorporated into the system integrator's own project design environment easily and flexibly.
Following an appropriate briefing and mutual establishment of the key parameters, the system integrator is able to carry out configuration, commissioning and maintenance independently.
The simple design of Frauscher axle counters ensures a wide range of configuration options. It is possible to establish both centralized and decentralized architectures, as well as various combinations.
DSL or radio communication via the networks of public operators or railway operators represents an interesting alternative to a system having its own cable networks along the train line and the significant costs and servicing this entails. All the parameters such as modem delays, delay periods and time-outs can be set quickly and easily using the FAdC or FAdCi software.
Besides train detection, a great deal of additional information is available to optimize operation. These functions can be integrated into the axle counting logic and do not require any external control.
