SIL Safety Capabilities
At EKE-Electronics, we pride ourselves on our extensive expertise in designing and manufacturing SIL safety applications. With a proven track record, we have successfully developed systems up to SIL 2.
A Range of SIL Safety Applications Developed
Automatically assesses the train’s alignment with the station and platform setup, granting activation solely to doors that can be safely opened. RIS-2747-RST.
Speed-monitoring system. Automatically brakes, stops the tram, and alerts the control room on limit breach.
EN 15437-2.
A change-over function which provides location-based control for switching power feed from the catenary to the battery.
Measures lateral vibrations and sends notifications about abnormalities, or automatically stops the train in immediate danger.
Centrally managed networked functions to ensure safe data communication throughout the train.
Continually monitors the train driver’s vigilance and automatically stops the train if the system pedal/button is not periodically pressed.
Checks conditions that must be fulfilled to enable the traction, e.g. driver’s cab occupied, no speed (null speed signal on), doors are closed, etc.
