For M trains:
1. The Contractor shall provide 160 sets of SACEM real time dataloggers with 2 nos. of RS232 communication ports each and a 4G LTE modem installed with 2 nos. of 4G LTE Simcards. The datalogger shall be able to communicate with the Trainborne SACEM system via the RS232 communication ports by special communication protocol and to capture the MT log and ATP log from the Trainborne SACEM system. The captured data shall be sent to a web server via 4G LTE network.
2. The Contractor shall provide 6 sets of SACEM monitoring workstations with 22” LCD display and Wi-Fi / network connection each. The Contractor shall develop a diagnosis software and a MMI to display the captured data and prompt an alarm to the operator if a fault is detected from the captured MT and ATP logs. The workstations shall be installed in MTR premises, i.e. KBD, TWD, CWD, CEWS, IECC at TSY and Data studio at FTRH. The communication between workstations and the web server shall be via Wi-Fi / network connection and internet.
3. The Contractor shall provide 1 set of web server to receive and store the data captured by the SACEM real time dataloggers and to perform data processing, message decoding and real time alarm monitoring and detection. The web server could be a cloud platform.
For TCL and AEL CAF/K-trains:
4. The Contractor shall provide 54 sets of SACEM real time dataloggers, 4 sets of SACEM monitoring workstations and 1 set of web server with similar hardware, software and functions as the ones for M-trains except the followings:
- The dataloggers shall be equipped with 4 nos. of RS232 communication ports each to communicate with the active and redundant Trainborne SACEM system.
- The special communication protocol and alarm codes of M-trains and CAF/K-trains are different.
- The monitoring workstations shall be installed at locations, i.e. SHD, CEWS, IECC at TSY and Data studio at FTRH.
- The data rate and volume for CAF/K-trains would be double as for M-trains.
