The 1520 Signaling Division supplies successfully Computer-based interlocking systems are in operation interlocking systems that are able to satisfy any already at more than 450 stations in Russia and abroad. customer’s needs and complete all safe control tasks for signaling wayside devices at stations and blocks. FLEXIBLE DESIGN

The interlocking family includes computer-based

Cabinets with object controller of the computer-based interlocking systems EBILock 950, CBI-EL, CBI-MZ-F and interlocking system EBILock 950 hybrid interlocking systems RBI-E and RBI-EL, which allow customers to switch to digital technology stage-by-stage at a low cost.

The RBI-E and RBI-EL systems allow configuring a system with various ratios of relay and computer-based modules in specific projects. This allows choosing the best configuration for the customer based on the budget and the current equipment in operation.

MULTI-STATION SYSTEMS

Design flexibility of interlocking systems is also demonstrated in the possibility of creating multi-station systems with central processors located at one or two stations of a long span only, while other stations have object controllers installed only. The Division has widely used these systems at several sites in Russia and Kazakhstan.

The RBI-E and RBI-EL systems allow using multi-station design, which is especially effective, if the customer wants to preserve some of the current relay equipment at the stations and increase capacity and improve the performance of the signaling equipment at minimum costs. An example of this design is a hybrid system on the Trans-Mongolian mainline.
