[0002] As the operating speed of China's railway trains continues to improve, people have placed higher requirements on the safety and comfort of train operations. For trains to operate smoothly at high speeds, not only do they need reliable trains and high-quality tracks, but they also need reliable and safe signaling equipment, and train operations will be guided based on this.
[0003] With the popularization of ZPW-2000 type equipment, the updating / modification of coding equipment is particularly important in existing line construction, which not only ensures the quality standard of the installation of coding equipment, but also ensures the safety of train operation in the installation process of the equipment, and also ensures the smooth opening / use of the coding equipment. However, the entrance current test is the most important step among them. During the construction test, the existing coding equipment needs to be removed and the newly installed coding equipment needs to be installed and connected, which takes a long time for the installation process, and the entrance current test is not a single section, but all sections on the train's approach road need to be replaced at the same time and then tested. The skylight time of the existing line construction is short, and it is generally difficult to complete the test, and further testing needs to be done after the existing equipment is restored, especially the effective working time within the skylight time of the busy main line is very short. The workload of the line switching test of the existing line signal interlock construction is very large, the entrance current adjustment cannot be performed synchronously with other interlock tests, and the test cannot be performed until the debugging of other signal devices is completed, which often occupies the line switching time, and in general stations, it takes about an hour to complete, and if a failure occurs in the entrance current debugging, it will further affect the entire construction line switching.
