 Train Driver Display Unit






The Teknis Driver Display Unit (DDU) is an intelligent microprossor system that uses an easy to read Electro-Luminescent flat panel screen and the Teknis proprietary touch screen operator interface.

Designed for use in the demanding area of Electric Rail Cars and Locomotives, the DDU is engineered for reliability.

TRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (TMS) INTERFACE PROCESSOR
An optional T.M.S. card is available for interfacing with a Train Management System. Communications are via a full duplex 9600bps synchronous serial current loop link.
The T.M.S. interface processor transmits T.M.S. display data to the Terminal Controller via a full duplex 9600bps asynchronous serial current loop link.
TRAIN RADIO INTERFACE PROCESSOR
The Train Radio Interface Processor communicates with the Terminal Controller for displaying all Radio data on the six (6) line secondary display area of the D.D.S. screen.
Communications are via full duplex 9600 asynchronous serial loop link.
ADVANCE TRAIN CONTROL (A.T.C.) SUPPORT
Interface card and supporting software for an A.T.C. system to enable data to be displayed on the D.D.S.
ELECTRONIC MODULE (two piece package)
The Electronic Module houses the microprocessor controller cards and power supply for the D.D.S. Spare slots are provided in the card cage for options to expand the functionallity of the D.D.S.
TERMINAL CONTROLLER
The Terminal Controller is a microprocessor based card which generates the video data to drive the E.L. display. This controller supports a split screen function with the first six (6) lines of the screen used as a secondary display followed by a 10 line main display.
Where an option such as a Train Radio interface card is fitted and supported by the function key, then operators can toggle data between the main and secondary area when the operator wants to display more information on the screen from the secondary display area.
POWER SUPPLY UNIT
The Standard Power Supply Unit (P.S.U.) has a wide ranging input voltage. The unit is ruggedised for the Australian environment. Standard input voltage is 70v DC to 120V DC ± 10%. Optional P.S.U.s are avaiable for 48V DC, 24V DC and 12V DC applications. Each P.S.U. is fully protected against over voltage and over current.
