15. Electronic Interlocking -Testing Testing In case of EI, it is carried out by testing integrity of Application Logic (Software). It is possible to carry out this test by using Simulator and Emulator at factory, drawing office as well as the site as an offline activity. Interlocking Testing for EI is done in two stages : a) Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) b) Site Acceptance Test (SAT)

16. Electronic Interlocking -Testing a)FAT Test  Purpose : a) Ensure that the Interlocking system fulfils the station Interlocking & Route Control Chart requirements and workings in safe manner even if any false inputs received. b) Minimises the site errors & risks and reduces the corrections at site. This results in saving of time at site testing.  FAT is carried out through simulation set up (using Simulator Panel with toggle switches or Simulator PC with Interlocking Simulation Setup - software) in which all field inputs are simulated. .

17. Electronic Interlocking -Testing

18. Electronic Interlocking -Testing  During FAT, Timers in Application logic are modified for the FAT testing reduced from 120 seconds to 12 seconds to speed up the testing. In FAT setup, the I/O boards are not physically present and the same are simulated using the test setup.  To carry out FAT, the following inputs are required: a) Signal Interlocking Plan (SIP) b) Route Control Chart (RCC). c) Control cum Indication Panel Diagram. d) Cross Table/Square sheet.

19. Electronic Interlocking -Testing When Railways/Customer testing is completed, the Check sum and CRC values of the FAT simulated application logic will be recorded b)Site Acceptance Test (SAT) Site testing of Station Interlocking System, where tests are executed at site environment. Ensures a)all the equipments installed at site are functioning correctly as per approved system b)configuration and station interlocking requirements and working in safe manner and failsafe even if any equipment fails/false inputs/information received

20. Electronic Interlocking -Testing

21. Electronic Interlocking -Testing To carry out SAT, the following inputs are required: a) Application source file, Application listing file, Application program file (Hardcopy & Read-only Softcopy) b) Station SIP c) Station Route control chart d) Station Control cum indication panel diagram e) Square Sheets/Cross tables f) Wiring Circuits

22. Electronic Interlocking -Testing All the field inputs are simulated by using simulation panel through toggle switches inputs are sent to EI via relays and the field outputs are sent to lamps through relays The following testing shall be carried out while doing SAT: Visual test Communication testing Correspondence Test System Integrity Test Interlocking testing Change over test

23. Electronic Interlocking -Testing As explained above SAT is performed in two stages: 1. Testing of Electronic Interlocking at site with E.I. hardware and simulation panel. 2. Testing of the outdoor gears, viz., points, signals, track circuits, LC gates etc Guidelines: SAT for EI should be done first from panel and there after from VDU. If dual VDU is provided, then SAT to be done with each VDU separately. Above tests may be under taken using data logger also.

24. Electronic Interlocking -Testing Automatic Site Acceptance Test(ASAT) carried out to test TOC /SLCT automatically uses software which executes Test by simulating the signalling gears Test reports will be generated for every route
