Case Study
Innovative switching solution - Dillinger Hütte
Requirement: Due to insufficient parking tracks in the steel plant, the operators of Dillinger Hütte decided to build a new ladder track leading to new sidings. Great at- tention has been given to optimising the layout of the dead end tracks so as to improve the efficiency of traffic operations in the whole depot. Solution: Hanning & Kahl implemented 16 power operated, locally controlled points (EOW). A SIL3 proven control ensures safe, flexible and efficient operation. The Frauscher axle counting system FAdCi in combination with the wheel sensor RSR180 guarantees reliable train detection, while Frauscher Diag- nostic System (FDS) provides diagnostic data to the higher level control sys- tem. Benefits: The FAdCi system allows a simple implementation of the Frauscher Diag- nostic Syste
