bobkart

location: Germany

purpose: Driving business with selfpropelled train stocked vehicles, speed by passenger eligible for office

technology:

• Every vehicle disposes speeds of an electrical drive with this obtained to 10 m/s – can be.  The passenger provides the speed with an accelerator pedal.
• The position, the distance and the speed are – monitored to PL e (performance level, the highest safety category).
• The necessary braking distance is calculated constantly. The braking distance falls the distance becomes the speed reduced automatically.
• In addition, the speed control is carried out into dependence of the way position. At dangerous track sections or in front of and the authorized
• speed is reduced in the station. The specification of these positions is carried out for certain and flexibly and in the program is  thus any time adaptable.
• Each vehicle has a fail-safe control system.
• The vehicles communicate via a special WLAN with the head office and with each other. The communication is error-proofly carried out.
• The current vehicle position and the vehicle status is shown openly on a monitor at the control post.
• The access to every vehicle is possible for service purposes about teleservice.
• All disturbing reports are archived. Plant history is transparently available with that any time.

module:

• error-proof control (SPS)
• visualization over air monitor for the simple operation
• SEW Movidrive drive voltage system converter
• teleservice
• essential security features: Safe stop 2 (SS2), speed (SLS) limited for certain, sure of movement direction (SDI),
• Safeguard distance more for certain of braking drive (SBC), sure position
• The plant is operated as an isolation monitored net (IT net). This increases the availability and person safety.

Standard:

• EN, removal by MOT south

selective brakes

location: Snowbird, USA

purpose: Regulation of the braking efficiency of brakes to toboggan runs for the attainment of a defined speed

technology:

• Electric magnets integrated into the toboggan run operate a braking sword. The friction of the deposited coating and the retention force cause the braking power and leading to the reduction of the car speed.
• The braking power is regulated into dependence of the admission speed.
• speed recording with contactless sensors
• magnet drive solitary

module:

• control Simatic (SPS)
• teleservice

Standard:

• NEC, UL
• removal by MOT south and U. S. authority (AHJ)
