Use this feature to bias the shape of the TVT curve to avoid selecting false echoes from fixed objects.

Adjust this parameter while viewing the echo profile with Dolphin Plus. Refer to the Dolphin Plus online help for details. If Dolphin Plus is not available, then an oscilloscope can be used. When using an oscilloscope, the Echo Lock Window display becomes the TVT Curve Pointer. See P810 Scope Displays on page 71 for more information.

The TVT curve is divided into 40 breakpoints, accessible by enabling the point number as the breakpoint index field. Each breakpoint is normalized to a value of 0, as displayed in the parameter value field. By changing the breakpoint value, up or down, the intensity of the bias applied to that breakpoint of the curve is respectively changed. By changing the value of adjacent breakpoints, the effective bias to the shaper can be broadened to suit the desired correction. In the case of multiple false echoes, shaping can be applied along different points of the curve. Shaping should be applied sparingly in order to avoid missing the true echo.

To change a breakpoint

1.Confirm that P831, TVT shaper, is on.

2.Go to P832.

3.Press MODE and then press DISPLAY to access the Breakpoints.

4.Press MODE to select the Auxiliary function.

5.

Press P

 

to scroll the breakpoint index through points 1 to 40, and move the

P

 

curve pointer right or left respectively.

LU01 specifications

The Siemens LU01 is a state-of-the-art train control and signaling system designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of rail networks. This sophisticated system leverages advanced technologies and innovative features to ensure seamless train operations, lower maintenance costs, and improved overall performance.

One of the main features of the Siemens LU01 is its implementation of the European Train Control System (ETCS). ETCS is a vital component in modernizing rail infrastructure across Europe, aiming to standardize various train control systems for enhanced interoperability among different national networks. The LU01 facilitates the integration of ETCS Level 1 and Level 2, allowing for both trackside equipment and onboard systems to work in harmony to manage train movements effectively.

Additionally, the LU01 employs a decentralized architecture that enhances system reliability and minimizes downtime. This design means that it can operate even in the case of individual component failures, ensuring that train operations remain uninterrupted. Furthermore, the LU01 utilizes advanced diagnostic tools and predictive maintenance technologies to monitor system performance continuously. This proactive approach allows for early identification of potential issues and timely maintenance, which contributes to reducing operational costs.

Another critical characteristic of the Siemens LU01 is its capability for real-time data transmission. The system integrates wireless communication technologies, enabling constant connectivity between trains and control centers. This feature allows for real-time updates on train positions, speeds, and other critical operational data, thereby enhancing situational awareness for train operators and maintaining optimal schedules.

Moreover, the LU01 is designed to be compatible with existing rail infrastructure, ensuring a smooth transition for railway operators looking to upgrade their signaling systems without extensive overhauls. This adaptability makes it an appealing choice for both new projects and retrofitting existing rail networks.

In summary, the Siemens LU01 stands out for its cutting-edge features, including support for ETCS, decentralized architecture, real-time data communication, and compatibility with legacy systems. With these technologies and characteristics, the LU01 significantly contributes to the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of modern rail transport systems, making it a pivotal solution in the evolution of railway operations.
