Automated Control System for Safe-Money-Saving Proactive Maintenance COMPACS^® - ACS SMSPM™ COMPACS^®

Accidents and breakdowns on railway transport have become more frequent, thus making seriously concerned about the infrastructure objects technical condition observation and control at different life-cycle levels.

Having synthesized more than 20 years experience of continuous hazardous production monitoring and diagnostics for petrochemical, metallurgical and mining industries, as well as experience of railway equipment diagnostics, DYNAMICS SPC develops actively the innovative technology of rolling-stock equipment technical state control, based on real-time condition monitoring - automated control system for safe-money-saving proactive maintenance COMPACS^® - ACS SMSPM™ COMPACS^®.

ACS SMSPM™ COMPACS^® principal components are means of monitoring, diagnostics and integration:

• systems for EMUs assemblies and units diagnostics at acceptance tests areas of workshops TR-2, TR-3 (COMPACS^®-EXPRESS, COMPACS^®-AGREGAT, COMPACS^®-RPP);
• systems for comprehensive diagnostics of EMUs sections at acceptance tests areas of workshops TR-2, TR-3 (COMPACS^®-EXPRESS-TR3);
• on-board systems for EMUs equipment technical condition monitoring (COMPACS^®-EXPRESS-3);
• diagnostic network Compacs-Net^®, which unites monitoring and diagnostic systems and provides data submission to different operation and repair control levels.

In order to simplify the maintenance and technical support processes, all ACS SMSPM™ COMPACS^® systems are built up on the base of common hardware and software, have a built-in function of sensors autodiagnostics and a general metrological base, including measuring channels verification/calibration methods.

An important feature of COMPACS^® systems is a possibility of integration to the diagnostic network Compacs-Net^®, implemented at the enterprise. Owing to Compacs-Net^® the objective evidence about technical condition is available in real-time for the enterprise chiefs and actionees.

Looking ahead the means of control and diagnostics can be connected to Compacs-Net^®, being located at the enterprises-manufacturers of componentry and equipment for rolling-stock and the infrastructure objects. This will allow to create a common information-diagnostic space for the effective technical condition control of railcar rolling-stock.
