Points to be noted while working with WDP1
locomotive

Please note that various faults and their troubleshooting procedures discussed
in this manual may vary based on the type of locomotive.

The major differences in WDP1 locomotive compared to other locomotives :


● Four driving axles are present instead of six, so only four Traction motors are available.
Hence, parameters related to TM5 and TM6 are not applicable to WDP1 locomotives.
● Power circuit consists of only parallel power contactors and no series contactors are
available. So, the locomotive operates only in Parallel (4P) mode.
● Power circuit consists of Field shunting contactors. So parallel mode with weak field is also
available.
● As no series power contactors are available, locomotive never operates in series mode,
and series mode with weak field.
● Dynamic braking grids are not available. Hence, Dynamic braking operation, BKT
contactors, and self load test feature are not available.
● User is requested to observe that few of the parameters may vary for WDP1 locomotive.
For example, in WDP1 locomotive, Traction Alternator current is displayed as TAAI,
whereas in other locomotives, it is TA_A.

HENCE, USER IS SUGGESTED TO REFER THE MANUAL ACCORDING TO


THE DESCRIPTION GIVEN ABOVE.

INTRODUCTION

The Microprocessor based locomotive control system MEP continuously


monitors operating levels of various parameters like current, voltage,
temperature, pressure, RPM etc. and status of all auxiliary and main contacts
of contactors. MEP identifies any abnormal working conditions of equipment
that indicates a fault in that equipment. Various faults that are identified are
given in the fault manual document issued by Medha Servo Drives. On
identification of any such fault, an appropriate control action is taken instantly
to avoid damage to traction equipment. A fault message, along with any
restriction applied due to the fault is displayed on the display unit for guiding
loco pilot. The fault is recorded in the error log along with date and time stamp
along with data packs of various locomotive parameters. These data packs
help the maintenance staff finding root cause of the fault and also helps to
analyze complicated faults.

MEP troubleshooting manual provides information like restrictions imposed


by the fault, probable causes that can cause the fault and the remedial
actions to isolate the fault. The isolation procedures are written for each and
every fault message identified and listed in the below fault message manual.
No troubleshooting guide is required for the fault recovery messages, that are
listed in the fault message manual.

MEP Manual explains step by step procedure to isolate the fault both in
locomotive as well as in MEP components. It is recommended that user
should read the system manual document and schematics of MEP document
IM 198.

In the step by step procedure of fault isolation, user has been asked to
perform Manual testing of inputs and outputs through display unit wherever
necessary. Find the status of digital inputs/ outputs and functioning of output
devices. The procedure for manual testing of inputs and outputs is described
in the system manual document IM 198.

The digital input cards are provided with green and yellow LEDs on the front
fascia of the card to know the status of the digital inputs. Various digital inputs
and digital outputs with their connections between locomotive and the control
unit having their corresponding cable IDs, This data is extracted from the
Electrical schematics for MEP system.

Various menu, submenu, and the displayed parameters in each group are
given for quick reference to navigate through display menu.

Precautions to be followed while troubleshooting:


TE
NO
● Whenever it is asked to move the locomotive or open the first notch with GF
ON, extreme care should be taken that brakes are applied physically on the
wheels and brake system is working normally as per Rail Road instructions.
● Whenever user is asked to replace the card or cable, first switch OFF all
breakers, replace the card or cable and switch ON the breakers and then
continue the test. Removal of card or cable with supply ON may damage the
respective card or module.
● Use proper tools like spanners or nut drivers, etc., to remove or replace
defective components. Do not try with mismatched tools.
● While reconnecting wires or cables, ensure proper cable tags are available
and they are connected correctly to the correct terminals. If cable tags are
missing, disconnect cables or wires and check for continuity, re-tag the
wires and connect. Wrong connection of any wire/cable may lead to further
complicated trouble.

CLASSIFICATION AND RESET


PROCEDURE OF FAULT MESSAGES

Faults are classified into three levels such as high, medium and low priority,
based on the severity of the effect of the fault on locomotive operation.

2.1 High Priority Faults


Faults that cause damage to engine, total restriction of loco operation or
damage to electrical equipment are classified as high priority faults. The order
of priority of these faults is assigned based on the restrictions imposed on the
locomotive operations due to occurrence of the fault. Faults, which lead to
engine shut down or prohibition of motoring and dynamic braking etc. are
treated as first in priority faults. The faults leading to reducing power of
locomotive are second in priority. The faults resulting in cutting out of traction
motor are next in priority. In case of these faults, the Alarm Gong (ALG) and
the display buzzer will be energized either continuously or for 30 seconds.
Loco pilot can silence the Alarm Gong and buzzer by pressing the
acknowledge switch provided on the display unit. In most of the faults, the
alarm gong and buzzer goes OFF after 30 seconds automatically.

2.2 Medium Priority Faults


Faults resulting in reduction of power, prohibition of dynamic braking,
prohibition of battery charging etc. are treated as medium priority faults. In
these faults, alarm gong energizes for 5 seconds and the display of fault
message and buzzer continues for 15 seconds.

2.3 Low Priority Faults


Faults, for which fault tolerance is built in the system and other faults are
treated as low priority faults. In these cases, Alarm Gong will not be energized
but the fault message gets displayed and the buzzer in the display unit gets
energized for 15 seconds.

In case of any fault, the fault is recorded in the error log along with 8 data
packs irrespective of its priority level. It is recommended to download this
error log to and analyze the fault data pack before going for actual
investigation.

2.4 Fault reset


For most of the faults, automatic recognition of fault recovery is provided.
When a fault occurs, MEP system identifies the fault recovery conditions and
announces recovery for the fault through a display message and
automatically removes all restrictions imposed on the loco operation due to
Chapter 2 - Classification and Reset Procedure of Fault Messages Medha Servo Drives Pvt Ltd.

that fault. For few faults, method of automatic reset of fault when the master
controller handle is brought to idle is used. In this case, fault gets reset three
times automatically within an hour and if the fault repeats for 4th time, it can
not get reset. It can only be reset manually. Only for very few faults, fault
clearing is restricted to manual resetting.

For any fault, it is possible to clear the fault manually through the display unit,
after attending to it. However, three levels of access are defined for this
purpose.

2.4.1 Access level low


Access level low faults (irrespective of their priority level) are permitted to be
cleared by loco pilot. By pressing ‘MENU’ key, user can select ‘Faults’ menu
and from the sub options, he/ she can select ‘Clear Active Faults’ menu and
navigate through the faults active at that point of time, which are displayed
one by one based on their priority. User can clear any fault by pressing ‘0/F4’
key, when that fault gets displayed. If it is an access level-LOW fault, the
system clears the fault immediately and informs the same on the display unit,
by removing any restrictions in loco operation imposed by that fault.

2.4.2 Access Level Medium


Access level medium faults are meant for clearing only by maintenance staff
of the locomotive shed. Clearing of these faults require higher level
knowledge about the locomotive. Clearing of these faults can be done only
by entering a pass code, which the system requests to enter, when ‘0/F4’ key
is pressed against respective fault in ‘Clear Active Faults’ menu.

2.4.3 Access Level High


Access level high is only for very few faults where, in depth knowledge of
locomotive equipment as well as knowledge of MEP system is necessary.
These faults can be cleared only through a LAPTOP PC connected to the
MEP system and cannot be cleared through display unit.

stuck in mid position replace the contactor.
2. If the contactor is normal,
A. Check the operation of the power contactor by manually
operating the magnet valve. Ensue that the contactor is
operating freely with out any delay. If the contactor is sluggish
in operation replace the contactor.
B. Run manual test for the power contactor and ensure the

PROBABLE CAUSES
1. Defective Analog distribution box.
2. Defective wiring.
This fault is logged whenever the low voltage power supply generated
within the ADB is out of the set range. Some times due to sensor
being defective, there may be excess load on the power supply and
the voltage may go below the set limit and log this fault. The digital
input signal becomes zero and fault is logged. To identify this, remove
the sensor connectors on the corresponding ADB one by one and
observe the LED status. On the digital input card if the input green
LED glows, it indicates that the sensor is loading the power supply.
Replace the failure sensor or cable to isolate the problem.
FAULT ISOLATION
1. Replace the ADB and check up.
2. Replace the cable and check up.
3. Check for any disconnected wires of ADB at back side TB.
4. Check the continuity of wire ADB health input from TB to the ADB
