    Installation and operating instructions. In an IMx-Rail device, it is supplied pre-fitted in the Rail enclosure and pre-wired to the lid mounted antenna and to easily accessible user terminals, above the unit. These encompass all the terminals available on the IMx-16Plus itself, such as analogue inputs, digital I/O and RS485.
  • Page 9: Modbus Interfacing To External Systems

    The IMx-Rail is designed to be mounted on either the train bogie, train car chassis or internally in a car/coach as appropriate to the equipment and bearings being monitored.
  • Page 10: Installation And Operating Instructions

    2 Installation and operating instructions 2.1 Introduction At the heart of the IMx-Rail is an IMx-16Plus. This is an updated version of the ‘IMx- 8’ with additional sensor capacity (increased number and wider range of sensor types) and with the additional interfaces needed for rail applications such as GPS, mobile data and Wi-Fi.

    IMx-Rail: • Server initiated (@ptitude Observer initiated communication) • Client-Server (the IMx-Rail is the initiator of the communication) These are alternatives for @ptitude Observer/IMx communication, illustrated diagrammatically in Figure 2. Whilst in general, the different network connection possibilities (1.2.1...
  • Page 12: Power Requirements

    Nominal supply voltages between 24 and 110 V DC are accommodated by appropriate choice of IMx-Rail model (nominal 24 V DC or 110 V DC input). The supply to the IMx-Rail device should be protected by an appropriately rated fuse, refer 3.3.2.

    IMx-Rail, to train systems. Make sure that the power is disconnected before the installation begins. To connect the IMx-Rail to the DC power supply, use cable of the following standard or better: FKLK 3 x 1.5 mm2 (16 AWG) or EKLK 3 x 1.5 mm2 (16 AWG) or corresponding, with minimum voltage requirement 300 V and temperature range of −40 to...
  • Page 14: Cable Glanding

    The glands used with the IMx-Rail should be chosen to maintain the enclosure IP rating and be appropriate for a railway environment and the cable type. As mentioned above, 2.5, the IMx-Rail is prepared for a mix of M12 x 1.5mm and M20 x 1.5mm glands.

    Note that (as shown), in the IMx-Rail the IMx-16Plus is mounted ’upside down’. That is: the top end cap is at the power connector end of the IMx-Rail, but the DC input to the IMx-16Plus is away from that connector. Be aware of that orientation when locating the RJ45 connector, SIM card slot etc.
