OVERVIEW
1.1
System Configuration
The GCP5000 For Electrified Territory, referred to as GCP5000 (GCE), is a modular
microprocessor-controlled track occupancy overlay system that is deployed to continually
monitor the approach(es) to railroad grade crossings and to control the lamps, gates, and bells
associated with those crossings. It also has provision for an optional plug-in SEAR IIi event
recorder.
1.2
Standard Features
The GCP5000 (GCE) can have up to 5 PSO Modules for track occupancy overlay, with each
PSO Module having the functionality to act either as a PSO Transmitter/Receiver or in Crossing
Mode utilizing two PSO receivers and the Island track circuit. Each PSO Module has three vital
outputs and two vital inputs.
Using internal crossing controller(s), the GCE can control the bells and gates of a crossing and
up to 40 amps of lights. Each SSCC IIIi module has 5 vital outputs. The GCE can utilize RIO
modules to extend I/O capability via the RIO's four vital inputs and four vital outputs.
The GCE can perform independent event recording, using the SEAR IIi. The SEAR IIi options
include programmable alarms and automated performance of crossing test functions. The GCE
generates test result reports in several formats. The GCE also interfaces with RailFusion.
The GCE can utilize Echelon or Ethernet communications for Vital Link communications to other
locations. The GCE has a display module for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting the
system.
The GCP5000 (GCE) system is based upon the GCP5000 system and shares the majority of
components with it. The only differences are:
•
GCP5000 uses A80418 GCP Track Modules where as the GCE uses A80428 PSO
module
•
The GCP uses a different MCF from the GCE.
