International Railway Journal - October 2008 - (Page 40) Signalling Consistent use of modern industrial standards for hardware and software also means that spare parts can be obtained without delay and at low cost. The long-term availability of components and compatible exchange for new module generations guarantee a long service life of the entire interlocking. The use of standard components means that the complete interlocking can be built into a compact cabinet, minimising the space needed in control centres. Thanks to the use of industrial standards, Alister works with open, flexibly-configurable interfaces. This means that in addition to the internal interfaces between the internal interlocking and the control centre, rail traffic control system and power supply, connections to external systems of other manufacturers are easy to set up. If required, customer-specific interfacing is possible using universal adapter modules. Existing installations or elements from different manufacturers, such as axle counters, point machines, LED or conventional signals, and level crossings can be connected to the Alister platform. With its modular design, flexibility Alister PLC-based concept and intelligent use of PLCs, Alister sets a new standard for the future, which can grow with and be adapted to new requirements at any time, produce a fast return-on-investment and minimise lifecycle costs. IRJ We designed a new platform You make it YOURS SPINE, a new seat platform to fulfil your specific requirements: Wide range of applications: Commuter, Regional and Inter-regional, Light weight innovative structure allowing to accommodate various designs and dimensions, Modularity through a set of “plug in” accessories, High level of standardisation to ensure low life cycle costs.
