Condition Monitoring, SwitchView
Country: United Kingdom
SwitchView is a software system designed by BBRTL which provides a robust data analysis and alarm management system for point monitoring applications. The system's algorithms permit failure modes to be diagnosed and predicted before the failure occurs. Typical parameters measured are:

  • Drive force
  • Lock rod displacement/lock position
  • Motor current and voltage
  • Rail, air and system temperatures
  • Gain of detection
Key Features and Benefits

BBRTL combines an instrumentation and software approach to the installation and management of Condition Monitoring. This enables improved railway performance through:

  • Reduced operational asset failure
  • Failure mode diagnostics to support fault teams
  • Enabling performance based maintenance
All of which lead to:

  • Reduced train delay
  • Increased safety
  • Increased labour efficiency
  • Reduced risk
Our open system architecture provides:

  • A web based application
  • The proven ability to interface with new and legacy systems
  • Configuration management - effective system access (report generator etc) and security
This unique method of data collection and analysis (including alarm management) produces:

  • System failures and detects parameters over dynamic thresholds
  • Prediction of future failures
  • Warning of asset maintenance events
  • Derived parameters such as "change in load"
  • Simultaneous trending, overlays and correlations of various metrics
  • Comparisons between point ends
