powerline – The management for your rail drive

ADEC (Advanced Diesel Engine Control): Engine management system ADEC is a management system developed and produced by MTU for state-of-the-art high performance diesel engines – designed not only for unlimited control of the Common Rail technology of the new engine Series 4000, but most of all for the command over frequently occurring extreme load conditions and rapid load changes which ADEC manages reliably and smoothly.

The main ADEC features are:

  • Engine-mounted and wired assembly
  • Engine management with integrated control and monitoring system
  • Integrated safety system and self-test system
  • CAN bus interface POM (Power Output Module): Module for starter and battery-charging generator control

The main POM features are:

  • Engine-mounted component, connected to starter and battery-charging generator
  • Customers do no longer need to connect their power cabling to the engine
  • Starter is generally connected to POM, no starter relay required
  • Starting process optimization
  • Starter monitoring with engagement verification
  • Monitoring of battery-charging generator operation
  • Line break and short circuit monitoring
  • Battery voltage monitoring with interference in start process and output of status and fault information
  • Connection between ADEC and POM via CAN bus
  • Fully automatic start control by ADEC

PAU (Power Automation Unit): Module for monitoring, control and plant-specific system integration of peripheral components.

The main PAU features are:

  • Component supplied as loose part, with (redundant) CAN Open interface to locomotive control
  • Transmission of all engine-related operating values incl. diagnostic data to the locomotive control system
  • Supplementary monitoring and control of enginerelated peripheral equipment/functions, e.g. coolant preheating, coolant level monitoring, charge-air preheating, fuel pumps, air filter, integrated safety features (e.g. automatic shutdown, power reduction), data output for fuel consumption display, ethernet diagnostic interface (e.g. service laptop) on browser level), data storage function

powerline - An integral automation system for rail drives with MTU engines. Along with the generational change related to MTU series 4000 engines for rail applications comes powerline, the new MTU automation system for rail drives – another step into the future of rail vehicle technology. The basic of the powerline drive automation system components ADEC, POM and PAU allow easy integration of the engine in the locomotive. POM as well as ADEC represent engine-mounted electronic modules. The scope of supply of MTU comprises control, regulation and monitoring equipment. Optimized interface technology allows easy and quick engine installation.
