Railway applications - Compatibility between rolling stock and train detection systems - Part 3: Compatibility with axle counters

For the purpose of demonstrating compatibility between rolling stock and axle counter detectors, this document defines the interference limits and evaluation methods to verify rolling stock emissions. Wheel sensors and crossing loops are not covered by this document.
This document gives recommended individual limits to be applied to establish compatibility between RST and all selected types of axle counter detectors, including any covered by national standards.
The list of selected types of axle counters and their limits for compatibility are drawn on the basis of established performance criteria. It is expected that the trend for newly signalled interoperable lines will be fitted with types that meet the compatibility limits published in the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERA/ERTMS/033281).
To ensure adequate operational availability, it is essential that the rolling stock complies with the defined limits; otherwise, the established availability of the valid output function of axle counter detectors may be compromised.
NOTE   The influences from metal parts or inductively coupled resonant circuits on the vehicle, eddy current brakes or magnetic brakes, are not covered by this document but are considered on the basis of national technical specifications.

Introduction
This document defines the interference limits and evaluation criteria for electromagnetic compatibility between
rolling stock and axle counter detectors.
The limits have been defined on the basis of a test specification described in EN 50617-2 (laboratory tests).
This document defines:
— a set of interference limits for magnetic fields resulting from both rail current and equipment on board the
vehicles;
— evaluation criteria to verify rolling stock emissions and demonstrate compatibility with the interference
limits for magnetic fields;
— traceability of requirements (type of axle counter detectors considered for the limits).
In the relevant frequency range of the axle counter detectors, the magnetic field is dominant and only this type
of field is considered. Experience has shown that the effects of electric fields are insignificant and therefore
not considered.

1 Scope
For the purpose of demonstrating compatibility between rolling stock and axle counter detectors, this
document defines the interference limits and evaluation methods to verify rolling stock emissions. Wheel
sensors and crossing loops are not covered by this document.
This document gives recommended individual limits to be applied to establish compatibility between RST and
all selected types of axle counter detectors, including any covered by national standards.
The list of selected types of axle counters and their limits for compatibility are drawn on the basis of
established performance criteria. It is expected that the trend for newly signalled interoperable lines will be
fitted with types that meet the compatibility limits published in the TSI CCS Interfaces Document
(ERA/ERTMS/033281).
To ensure adequate operational availability, it is essential that the rolling stock complies with the defined
limits; otherwise, the established availability of the valid output function of axle counter detectors may be
compromised.
NOTE The influences from metal parts or inductively coupled resonant circuits on the vehicle, eddy current brakes or
magnetic brakes, are not covered by this document but are considered on the basis of national technical specifications.
For wheel sensors and wheel detectors in other applications than axle counters but utilizing the same rail
sensors and detectors, transient and continuous interference can be considered as equivalent to axle counter
detectors or axle counter sensors.
