Always calibrated and ready to go - fully automatic ATWS with axle counting
Permanently installed warning systems (ATWS systems) from ZÖLLNER are equipped with an approved axle counting system. This system counts the axles of the trains in both directions and not just the trains. If the total number of incoming and outgoing axles is zero, the track section is considered free and the warning is cancelled. The permanent installation guarantees immediate availability.
Principle sketch of the permanent ATWS installation
When the first train axle is detected by the wheel, a warning triggers the mobile warning device. Only when the total number of counted axles is zero again, the warning on the mobile warning device is cancelled. The axle counter and the stationary part of the warning system are installed in a trackside cabinet together with the power supply.
Simple upgrade for SATWS cabinets
Existing cabinets receive an upgrade and are therefore quickly and cost-effectively brought up to date.
