IntelliDesk – Driver's desks for rail vehicles
 
Innovative communications and wiring concept for system integration inside a driver’s desk​


IntelliDesk – The future is here

IntelliDesk is an innovative communications and wiring concept for system integration inside a driver’s desk. Here, every subsystem can be simply connected to a field bus box and at once begin communicating with the on-board train control and monitoring system (TCMS) via a central master interface.

A unique feature is the predictive and condition-based maintenance. Thus, IntelliDesk has turned out to be a landmark on the path to standardization and modularization as intended by UIC 612, while simultaneously offering maximum flexibility and adaptability to a wide range of
rail vehicles.

The benefits on a glance:

  • One-stop sourcing
  • Custom, modular, robust, maintenance-free
  • Redundant Safety Architecture​
  • Clearly defined interfaces
  • Ergonomics for more safety
  • Standard-compliant requirements

The smart driver's desk concept






Data communications via a central master interface

The innovative architecture enables optimal integration of all components and subsystems within the control panel, e.g. all displays, panels, levers and indicators. These components and subsystems are connected to a CPU unit in the driver’s desk, which serves as the central master interface. This master interface is used for direct communication with the Train control and monitoring system (TCMS).

Predictive and condition-based maintenance

The communication of all components and subsystems with the CPU unit also increases cost-effectiveness during operation. Wear and failure can be promptly detected and downtime avoided thanks to reactive and preventive maintenance.
