For the Taipei Metro (MRT), regular train maintenance and train scheduling are the key requirements for a quality service and passengers safety. A normal electric source switching for each rail track to maintain the accuracy of train dispatching and operations is a great challenge in maintenance depot.
To tackle this, the power supply system in Luzhou Depot adopted Advantech's products to control and monitor a mass of relays and to cover the entire area through optical fiber transmission. Additionally, this solution empowers traditional serial (RS-232/422/485) devices to transmit data over an IP-based network, and its redundancy mechanism and rugged feature also provide reliability assurance so as to leverage the operating performance of power supply system.
Train dispatching is one of the core tasks in running MRT operations. Advantech EKI products are able to help Metro's maintenance depot to stabilize power supply, and the solution allows any serial device to be easily implemented in IP-based network to provide less-costly and efficient data transfer. In addition, the features of wider temperature, anti-interference, redundant function and metal shell are assured for high quality and high stability.
Since MRT passenger capacity continues to increase and Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC) plans to open new lines to traffic, the system supplier is willing to continually use more Advantech solutions to strengthen its power supply system.
