Advanced System for 
Locomotive Control and Fault Diagnostics (MEP series)

Medha's MEP system is a 32 bit, high performance microprocessor based modular system that provides complete traction and propulsion control of the locomotive with continuous monitoring and extensive fault diagnostics.

Major functions include Engine control, Excitation control, Propulsion control, Wheel slip control, Auxiliary controls, Traction equipment protection, Fault Diagnostics, Data recording and Parameters display.

Mobirise

> more than 5,000 units in operation
> increase in hauling capacity
> reduction in loco assembly and commissioning time
> Extended warranty and annual maintenance options
< 2yr Pay-back Period for retrofits

Features

  • Highly improved reliability and availability of locomotive with reduced maintenance needs
  • Digital setting of all parameters – wide range of user-settable parameters so that the system can be easily adapted to any make or model of locomotive without needing software or hardware changes
  • Excitation control – precise control of traction alternator (main generator) to maintain constant horse power
  • Continuous self-diagnostics – System of modules and sensors to easily separate system faults from locomotive faults
  • Vigilance control device – Multi-resetting type dead driver control, standard feature included in the system
  • Dynamic Brake Control – Normal and extended DB
  • Propulsion control – Transition control series, series-parallel; Cranking control; Engine rpm control; Cooling fan Control; Air Compressor Control; Sanding control; Vigilance Control
  • Engine priming before cranking – When feature exists in the engine
  • Headlight control – Monitors and records headlight inputs
  • Alarm buzzer for critical faults – As per customer requirement
  • Memory freeze or data freeze switch – Stops data recording or overwriting in case of accidents
  • Provision for speedometer – Accurate measurement of loco speed based upon TM gear mounted speed sensor or axle mounted speed sensor)

Additional Customer Benefits

  • Superior wheel-slip control
  • Significant increase in haulage capacity
  • Starter protection
  • Traction Motor Protection
  • Auto-engine-start-stop (AESS)
  • Fuel Consumption Reduction
  • Battery life enhancement
  • Locked axle, pinion slip, wheel slide identifications and protection
  • Cooling System control
  • Automatic calibration of wheel diameters
  • Dynamic Grid protection
  • Fewer electrical components on locomotive, almost 80+ components eliminated from GP, SW or SD locomotive
  • Fault Data recording, direct download on computer or download from the locomotive
