MICRO PROCESSOR (Version 3)
Main advantages:
• Real time monitoring of locomotives for sheds and TLCs.
• Improvement in reliability of locomotives.
• Provides TSD assistance to crew.
• In built VCD functionality.
• Three types of server login i.e., (i) Admin Login (ii) TLC
Login (iii) Shed Login
• 10.4 inch LCD display unit.
• Traction motor current measurement using Hall Effect
based sensors instead of shunt based. So that accuracy
and reliability enhanced.
• Main advantages:
• Measurement of brake cylinder and brake pipe pressure.
• Measurement of locomotive speed.
• Inbuilt Energy metering (SEC & GTKM calculation).
• Short term and long term event recording.
• Notch indication using absolute encoder instead of
incremental method.
• Communication provision for Multiple Unit and Hotel
Load.
• Main advantages:
• Redundancy (fail safe) in data management.
Changeover to redundant card if any MOSFET (Metal
Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) short
circuited in digital output card.
• Push button to RESET the MPCS if required.
• Soft relay bypass feature.
Principle of Operation:
• After the power is switched ON to the control unit,
display unit, SCU, ISCU, one of the CC cards
become active and CC checks for healthiness of
various sub systems.
• If any abnormality if found, CC communicates the
same through both the display units.
• Monitoring of inputs and calculation of outputs is
done at a very high rate to ensure a prompt action.
• Loco to be energized as per the procedure.
Principle of Operation:
• If TM voltage, OHE voltage, ARNO voltage etc., had
crossed the set limits, then either auto regression or
DJ tripping is done or any other appropriate action
is taken as per the defined logic.
• For every normal DJ opening with BLDJ, the standby
CC card becomes active and active CC card becomes
standby.
• Faults are logged in a non volatile memory with
date, time and type of fault and background data.
SCU (Signal Conditioning Unit):
It measures locomotive high voltage inputs of Auxiliary,
ARNO (or SI) output, traction motor armature voltage and
battery charger voltage.
It has an interface for energy measurement, speed
measurement, BP measurement and BC measurement. It
communicates with main control unit communication bus.
Main control unit sends request to SCU to know the values of
different parameters, to take the control action and display
to the loco pilot.
This unit also consists of an extra redundant channel for
auxiliary voltage measurement along with separate terminals.
Driver display unit:
The display Unit serves the following functions:
Viewing of operational status of locomotives.

Crew announcements, wherever pilot information / intervention is

required.
Viewing of fault log information.

FAULT DIAGNOSTICS
 There are three types of diagnostic messages, which are
displayed from loco crew on the respective CAB display
unit.
 Faults are grouped as per sub system. Each fault
message is assigned to either priority 1 or priority 2
level.
 Priority 1 messages are related to DJ tripping, total loss
of tractive effort, vigilance control and system related.
 Priority 2 messages are the remaining messages which
are not related to priority 1 level.
Isolation Messages
 Isolation messages provide the information about the
sub system isolation status.
Information Messages
 Information messages provide information to the loco
pilot about the status of the loco operation.
Important instructions to Loco Pilots:
 VCD cycle, counter, input and out put data are updated. LP can
set the screen in test mode by selecting it in main menu.
 LP can enter his ID, name etc.
 Status of eliminated relays is displayed with ON/OFF/W ,
depending on relay status.
 CCCPU ( 16 Amps ) is provided, even though CCBA/CCPT is
melted, FDCS and display will be in service.
 The relays Q-50, Q-118, QCVAR/QCON can be wedged in case
of any fault occurs in MPCS. Normally these keys will be in
disabled condition, if there is no fault regarding these relays in
MPCS.
Important instructions to Loco Pilots:
 If allowing for wedging is set by MPCS, then a blinking of yellow
arrow is shown and the corresponding soft key functions. When the
relay is wedged, the Red arrow is shown with a message “ (relay
name) wedged”.
 If wedging of any relay is allowed by MPCS, then crew should follow
the instructions as per TSD before and after wedging of that relay.
 Any short circuit in the out put such as C101/C102 etc., causes to
trip MCB 1/2 (provided in the main unit). Loco pilot has to reset it
once.
 Reset button is provided in the Main Unit. In case, DJ tripped due to
internal fault in MPCS, press reset button for 5 seconds to reset
MPCS.
 Incase of any malfunction of MPCS, loco pilot shall not resume
traction.
