    The document provides information about a Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) used in train systems. The VCU controls various functions of a locomotive including MVB monitoring, fault handling, node generation, limit monitoring, and more. It uses TCN (Train Communication Network) to transmit data within trains via MVB (Multifunction Vehicle Bus) and WTB (Wire Train Bus). The VCU contains 32 circuit boards distributed across various slots that control applications, inputs/outputs, power supply, temperature sensors, and communication between vehicles via MVB.

    CDAC VCU HANDBOOK


    (TCN BASED VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT)
    INTRODUCTION

    TCN-The train communication network (TCN) is a hierarchical combination of


    two fieldbus for data transmission within trains.
    It consists of the Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) inside each vehicle and of the Wire
    Train Bus (WTB) to connect the different vehicles.
    Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) connects individual nodes within a vehicle or in a
    closed train set.

    FUNCTIONS OF VCU

    VCU is the Brain of Any locomotive system which will control all the activities of a
    Locomotive
    • MVB Monitor

    CENTRAL ELECTRONICS-CARDS FUNCTIONALITY
    Redundant power supply is provided in the rack, respectively at slot AB &CD. This card
    supplies power to all the PCBS.

    Slot E contains an Analog routing Board. The Analog signals are connected to this PCB
    through front connectors, this signals are routed to Analog I/O card type at slot F.

    Slot F contains an Analog I/O Card. This card converts all analog signals to digital
    signals and digital to analog. The digital data is stored in the RAM, so that any
    application processor card can access.

    Application processor board resides in slot G, Which functions in the main vehicle as a
    FLG computer & function as low voltage control (STB).Other application processor
    board at slot S function auxiliary equipment control computers (HBB).

    G slot application processor card STB function gives services to 2 digital I/O boards and
    occupies slot J & L.

    A passive temperature sensor is provided in slot K. This PCB is only holding a passive
    thermostat. The thermostat is filled with fluid and has a capillary in it connected to a
    thermostat switch. The purpose is to activate the thermostat switch when the
    temperature reaches 70 degree Celsius .The capillary is brought out through the front
    into the PCB .The thermostat switch is mounted outside the rack.

    Application processor HBB board at slot S gives services to 2 digital I/O cards of slots O
    & Q.

    MVB Admin Board at slot T is responsible for the MVB Bus traffic Administration and
    storing diagnostic messages as well as work as diagnostic terminal interface to display
    information in DDU through W slot MVB repeater card.

    A multi redundant MVB Bus coupler card at slot V & it couples VCU II as well as to other
    bus station like SR1/2, BUR1, 2 &3 through fiber optic medium.

    MVB repeater card at slot W is used to connect WTB for multi loco or push pull
    operation also to interface with MVB admin to display MVB and fault data to DDU.
