The control panel represents the central operating point of the railway signalling and safety system.
Operation of signalling and safety equipment is performed via the control desk (console), which enables centralized control of:
- Main signals
- Shunting signals
- Switches (points)
- Derailers
- Train routes for entry and departure
- Train movements and shunting operations
This organization enables complete traffic control from a single location, ensuring a high level of visibility, operational efficiency, and safety.
Control Elements
The control panel board includes:
- Push-buttons for issuing commands
- Indicator lamps for monitoring device status and operational condition
- Indicators showing track occupancy and switch positions
All elements are clearly arranged and designed in accordance with the functional requirements of the railway station, ensuring intuitive and safe operation.
Dimensions and Available Configurations
Control panels are manufactured in the following dimensional variants (expressed in panel sections):
- 18 × 24 18 × 30 18 × 36
- 20 × 24 20 × 30 20 × 36
- 24 × 30 24 × 36 24 × 42
- 26 × 30 26 × 36 26 × 42
- 28 × 30 28 × 36 28 × 42
- 30 × 42
The choice of dimensions depends on the size and configuration of the station, the number of tracks, and the complexity of the signalling and safety system.
