LAPP and HMH: Cables for Mirel VZ1 train protection

22 rail transport l electrical engineering THE LAPP CABLE ASSEMBLY CONNECTS THE MIREL VZ1 TRAIN PROTECTION SYSTEM MANUFACTURED BY HMH The modular system MIREL, developed by the Slovak company HMH, s.r.o. based in Bratislava, has become the basis of most applications in rail transport. system and other equipment to the nearest terminal block, the internal cable connection of the locomotive. Custom production takes place at the LAPP facility in Otrokovice. This is the production of the CABLE IRCK cable harness to customer specification. This harness contains multicore shielded cables with corresponding fire resistance according to EN 45545, intended for signal transmission. The cables are fitted with cable lugs and sockets at The company's main product in the area of security systems is the MIREL VZ1 train protection system, which is currently in operation on lines in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. The extension module of the MIREL VZ1 train protection system is the MIREL STB functional gateway, which includes the ÖLFLEX® CONNECT cable assembly from LAPP. The MIREL train protection system is intended for monitoring driver vigilance, the transmission of information from trackside to the signal repeater, the monitoring of maximum speed with regard to the maximum design speed of the traction unit, determining the speed of the train unit, and receiving information from the track infrastructure. The basic function of the MIREL STB gateway is to provide an interface between the basic unit of the MIREL VZ1 train protection system and the ETCS on-board device, the European train protection system. LAPP supplies the cable assembly used to connect the MIREL VZ1 train protection the ends. The product also includes cable glands and D-SUB connectors. The finished product is completely ready for mounting on the MIREL system without the need for further modifications.
