ST950 C ONTROLLER AMILY The Siemens ST950 Controller family is the latest in a long line of highly integrated traffic controllers. The ST950 family of controllers can be supplied either in a single-door outer case with a 6U logic rack and equipment mounting frame or as a free-standing logic rack housing the power supply, CPU Card and Lamp Switch cards.
Mobility Division, Traffic Solutions Sopers Lane, Poole, Dorset, BH17 7ER The essential differences between the ST900 and the ST950 family of controllers are: New CPU Card providing additional functionality and interfaces Improved user interfaces including web pages I/O card firmware can be updated in-situ.
ST950 C (LV) ONTROLLER The ST950 is a mains driven Traffic Controller that uses the reliable and proven Mains Lamp Switch Cards as used in the ST900 Controller, offering a total of up to 32 phases per controller. The main components of the ST950 system are shown in Figure 1.

Sopers Lane, Poole, Dorset, BH17 7ER ST950 Controller Rack Figure 4 – The ST950 Rack (General Arrangement) The logic rack can be used in both standard cabinets and for Cuckoo installations. Note that a standard LED UK power distribution unit is shown in Figure 4; other variants are also available including the standard 20A variant and non-UK variant.
The above ST950 and ST950 Non-UK Controller Racks allow the ST950 Controller to be fitted into an enclosure other than an ST950 cabinet – This is known as a ‘Cuckoo’ installation. In the UK, the controller may only be fitted into an HA-approved enclosure.

Fitting the ELV Controller into Alternative Cabinets (Cuckoo) When fitting an ST950 ELV Controller into an enclosure other than an ST950 cabinet, a different type of 6U rack can be used, a so-called ‘cuckoo’ rack. This rack houses up to three LSLS cards and has two 3U high bays which can be fitted with up to two Intelligent Detector Backplanes, supporting a maximum of eight Loop Detector cards.
Mobility Division, Traffic Solutions Sopers Lane, Poole, Dorset, BH17 7ER Figure 10 – ST950 ELV Rack for fitting in Alternative Cabinets (rear) Mains Input When considering the connection of the controller to the incoming mains supply, it is important to verify from the supplier that the mains supply short-circuit current does NOT exceed 16,000 Amps.
4.6.1 Low Inrush Lamp Supply Transformer Option A low inrush lamp supply transformer option (factory fit only*) is available for the ST950 ELV controller that allows the controller to be run from a 25A Electricity Board cutout which many suppliers will provide without metering.
Each LSLS card is fitted into an LSLS backplane on the side panels of the cabinet. A maximum of 3 LSLS cards can be fitted into an ST950 ELV Controller cabinet. Another 3 LSLS cards can be fitted into an adjacent cabinet, controlled by the same ST950 ELV Controller.
In order to do this, the power taken by the lamps needs to be calculated. Use the following table to determine the average power taken by the different types of lamps. The controller Elexon codes for Siemens products are defined in the Siemens Elexon Codes document 667/RE/29050/000.
Max. load for a single output on an LSLS card. Table 10 Table 9 – ST950 ELV 48V Lamp Drive Capability The high-current ST950ELV Controller uses the 40A Controller Upgrade Kit. This increases the current capability (including regulatory signs) of the Controller to 40A.
Nearside, Wait or Demand units without an attached ‘ELV’ label must not be connected to the LSLS. Spurious faults and damage to the LSLS may result if this is done. This applies to units of either Siemens or AGD manufacture. See Note 5.
When output types are NOT lamp monitored, it is permissible to mix output types. Specifically, it is permissible to connect 2 Tactile Units, 2 Green Nearside Signals (either AGD or Siemens) and one Audible Driver Module (8 sounders) in parallel across one LSLS output.
STAGE 1 STAGE 2 STAGE 3 Figure 11 – Theoretical Junction (ST950 ELV) 4.10.5 Selection of Lamp Supply Transformer In order to select the number of lamp supply transformers, the total average signal Lamp Power is required. See Table 8 on page 45 for the power taken by the different types of lamps.
2 x 20A 5 – 6 Table 11 – ST950 ELV 48V Current Capability * Refer to section 4.9 on page 44 for limits on the number of LSLS Cards supported. † Assuming 12W 48V Helios ELV Signals, 20A allows for approximately 80 signals which will normally mean that 80 signal heads can be supported since usually only one aspect of the phase is lit at any one time.
Average Controller power + Average Detector Power. A low inrush ST950ELV controller is rated at 25W, and for the purposes of this calculation Siemens SLD4 detectors require 1.5W per card. See section 3.6.1. Therefore for our theoretical junction (Figure 5) the total average controller power is:...
(3W / 125mA per detector) Microsense Detectors (6W / 250mA per detector) Table 12 – ST950 ELV Detector PSU Selection When powering detector cards such as SLD4, WiMag and Above Ground Detectors the overall power consumption must be calculated and be within the capacity of the detector supply.

4.11 Cabling When estimating cable core and controller equipment requirements for the ST950 ELV Controller the maximum cable lengths defined in the following tables on pages 60 and 61 must be complied with. There are also two wiring design and installation guides 667/DS/20664/000 LV, and 667/DS/20664/048 ELV, and these should be used for further detailed reference information.

CPU C The CPU Card holds the controller configuration and performs the function of configuration, control and management. The same CPU Card is used in the ST950 and ST950ELV Controllers. The main external data interfaces of the CPU Card are:...
Sopers Lane, Poole, Dorset, BH17 7ER ST950 I/O The ST950 and ST950ELV Controllers use the same types of I/O cards in order to interface to pushbuttons, vehicle detectors and above ground detectors, or to provide a free-standing UTC Interface or for linking between controllers.
Sopers Lane, Poole, Dorset, BH17 7ER Maximum Number of I/O Cards The total number of I/O cards that can be fitted to the ST950 Controller is limited by the current capability of the controller's 24V DC logic power supply. See Table 20 for details on the mix of cards that can be fitted to the controller.
ENERIC PECIFICATIONS Controller Operation In common with previous controllers, the ST950 LV and ELV Controllers are phase oriented. Timings and demands are associated with phases and the control philosophy is designed to give right-of-way to phases in an optimum manner.
Parallel Stage Streaming provides independent control of up to 8 separate intersections, referred to as Streams, from one controller, i.e. the eight intersections may be considered as being controlled by separate controllers, with the exception of certain modes, see detail in the ST950 Facilities Handbook 667/HB/46000/001. EMANDS AND XTENSIONS Demands may be inserted for phases or stages, but extensions may only be inserted for phases.
Traffic Controllers need to be specially configured to control LRT vehicles. Siemens Controllers prior to ST950 are configured to control trams using the Bus Priority mode, with a large amount of Special Conditioning being required to modify and enhance Bus Priority mode to implement the requirements of LRT systems.
30.2 OTU Linking The ST950 may be linked to other controllers in a UTC scheme when it is required to share an outstation transmission unit (OTU) between more than one controller. In this case the link will only be for connection between the UTMC-OTU application and I/O cards and the other controllers.
Wig Wag Signals Figure 16 – Flashing Red Wig-Wag Signals The Siemens Wig-Wag system is a complete solution for the provision of priority signals at fire and ambulance stations. The signals may also be used in other locations such as bridge crossings where there is a need to stop ordinary traffic flow but where it...
(instances of the MOVA application) can be enabled with the appropriate licenses, with each MOVA 'kernel' controlling and monitoring one stream of the traffic controller. The ST950 also continues to support an external MOVA unit. If using a Siemens Gemini2 MOVA unit, also see the Gemini2 Handbook, part number 667/HB/38001/000.
Certain features within the controller are licensed. Licences are distributed and held on the ST950 in Smart Cards. For distribution either a full size (credit card size) or SIM size Smart Card can be used. For storage on the controller, a SIM size Smart Card is used and is fitted in the Smart Card holder on the CPU Card.
