The points on the urban railway and trams can now be controlled safely in all weathers because, with its temperature-resistant modules and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), PSS 4000 can withstand mechanical stresses such as condensation and increased vibration, even in unheated control cabinets. However, should an error or fault arise, this can easily be identified and located by the dispatchers thanks to the web-based visualisation software PASvisu. With PASvisu, they constantly have an overview of all system components as well as extensive remote maintenance options. After the retrofit, the points in the Polish rail operator’s network comply with safety integrity level SIL 3. Passengers benefit because travel times have been reduced by 50 per cent on the modernised lines. http://www.pilz.com
