Purpose of Use and Function

A complete or partial automation of your system makes it absolutely necessary that you install an efficient
feedback system.
The Z21 - Detector X16 provides you with information on the status of defined track sections. This is espe-
®
cially useful if parts of your system are not visible (e.g. staging yards) or if you want to have the occupied
status of the tracks displayed on your automation software or on the signal box of your Z21
Should you use the Z21
on the occupied track sections and determine the rerailing direction by using the RailCom
You will find more usage and configuration information on the www.z21.eu website (10819 – Z21
tector X16). As the Z21
ments, you can always obtain the latest information from the Z21

Properties

• Electrical properties
The Z21 - Detector X16 has 16 detector inputs that are designed in the form of a current sensor. The
®
current limit per section is 3A.
As the data cables (B-Bus) are galvanically separated from the track voltage, there is practically no risk
of a short circuit.
The Z21 - Detector X16 only provides information on the occupied status of the track after a certain delay
®
in order to avoid incorrect occupied messages being issued.
• Activation delay
Should the Z21 - detector X16 detect an occupied message, this has to exist for a minimum duration of
®
10ms. It is only forwarded as a valid message then.
• Deactivation delay
Should an occupied track no longer be occupied, the Z21
message after a delay of 260ms.
Should an occupied signal be transmitted again during the delay, this is not reported and the delay period
recommences from the beginning. The "vacant status" is only forwarded to the control centre when the
delay duration is no longer interrupted by a short occupied message.
This avoids incorrect occupied messages in the event of there being a poor train-track contact.
