Introduction
This document defines the interference limits and evaluation criteria for electromagnetic compatibility between
rolling stock and axle counter detectors.
The limits have been defined on the basis of a test specification defined in EN 50617-21 (laboratory tests).
This document defines:
— a set of interference limits for magnetic fields resulting from both rail current and equipment on board the
vehicles;
— evaluation criteria to verify rolling stock emissions and demonstrate compatibility with the interference limits
for magnetic fields;
— traceability of requirements (type of axle counter detectors considered for the limits).
In the relevant frequency range of the axle counter detectors, the magnetic field is dominant and only this type
of field is considered. Experience has shown that the effects of electric fields are insignificant and therefore not
considered.

1 Scope
For the purpose of demonstrating compatibility between rolling stock and axle counters, this document defines
the interference limits for axle counter detectors and evaluation methods to verify rolling stock emissions.
Wheel sensors and crossing loops are not covered by this document.
For wheel sensors and wheel detectors in other applications than axle counters but utilizing the same sensors
on the rail and detection circuits, transient and continuous interference can be considered as equivalent to axle
counter detectors or axle counter sensors.
This document gives recommended individual limits to be applied to establish compatibility between RST and
all selected types of axle counter detectors, including several covered by national standards.
The list of selected types of axle counter detectors and their limits for compatibility are drawn on the basis of
established performance criteria.
To ensure adequate operational availability, it is essential that the rolling stock complies with the defined limits;
otherwise, the established availability of the valid output function of axle counter detectors could be
compromised. The influences from metal parts or inductively coupled resonant circuits on the vehicle, eddy
current brakes or magnetic brakes, are not covered by this document.

4 General aspects
4.1 Interference mechanism
4.1.1 General
Axle counter detectors can be influenced in different ways, e.g. by magnetic fields or metallic parts in the vicinity
of wheels and bogies and thus close to the sensors. The influence of magnetic fields on the immunity of the
individual axle counter detector is dominant. In addition, the duration and/or repetition rate of interference and
the magnetic field strength are also relevant.
4.1.2 Axle counter detector
The compatibility limits in this document are based on the immunity of axle counter detectors and are specified
only for the axle counter detector – comprising the sensor on the rail and the detection circuits in the trackside
equipment as shown in Figure 1.

CLC/TS 50238-3:2022
Figure 1 — Axle counter detector, schematic diagram
Axle counter detectors use various additional filter techniques and algorithms that reject interference pulses in
order to maximize reliability while maintaining safety.
EXAMPLES
iTeh STANDARD
PREVIEW
— Nonlinear pulse duration filters which reject wheel pulses of a duration less than the minimum wheel pulse from a vehicle;
(standards.iteh.ai)
— rejection of wheel pulses in one channel if the axle counter is already in an occupied status.
4.1.3 Susceptibility of the detector on the rail

The precise area of susceptibility is product specific. The position of the measurement antenna has been chosen
to take into account the sensors listed in A.1.
The immunity (susceptibility limit) is defined as 2022
the magnetic field that can generate interference pulses or
corrupt the wheel pulses of one or more channels of the axle counter detector.
The magnetic coupling between the transmission and reception units of the axle counter sensor depends among
other things on the rail type. Large rail profiles like UIC 60 profiles, which provide higher attenuation of the
receiver voltage, are therefore more critical with respect to the susceptibility.
4.1.4 Sources of interference fields
The following commonly known sources of interference are considered for immunity:
— magnetic fields generated by electrical equipment on the vehicle and coupled to the axle counter sensor
through the air gap;
— rail currents, which include both currents circulated inside the vehicle and currents between the vehicle and
infrastructure in the susceptibility range of operation of the axle counter sensor (hence referred to as rail
current fields).
The interference fields from the two above defined sources are superimposed on the axle counter sensor
whereby the vector of rail current fields has a predictable direction and the vector of magnetic fields has an
unpredictable direction, because it is dependent on the source on the vehicle and on the type of rail.
7
CLC/TS 50238-3:2022
4.2 Availability margin
Axle counter systems are assumed to fail right side if excessive interference leads to a malfunction because of
additional control measures being implemented at a system level. A safety margin is therefore not required, but
a margin is required to meet the performance requirements with regard to reliability of counting.
If the interference limit of the axle counter detector is exceeded and a resulting spurious wheel pulse is
generated, this may or may not lead to a failure of the axle counter system.
A margin of 9 dB is included in the values in A.1, which accounts for the following factors:
— 6 dB signal to noise ratio to meet the probability requirements for miscount within the established equipment
operating tolerances;
— 3 dB accounting for:
— uncertainty of measuring chain;
— positioning of the measurement antenna;
— overlapping effects (analyzing methods);
— other environmental effects affecting interference (rain, temperature, etc.).
4.3 iTeh STANDARD

Specific axle counter parameters
PREVIEW
The interference susceptibility of axle counter detectors depends, among other things, on the amplitude and the
duration, for which the interference magnetic field is present. For continuous interference, the limits are lower
(standards.iteh.ai)
than for short duration (transient) interference.
5 Compatibility requirements
5.1 General
2022
Individual axle counter limits for rolling stock for demonstrating compatibility with existing types of axle counter
detectors are defined in Annex A or in NTRs where these exist.
Axle counter detector susceptibility shall be established in accordance with the immunity specification defined
in EN 50617-21.
The corresponding measurement method and evaluation procedures for RST shall follow EN 50592.
5.2 Short duration interference limits
In case the limits specified in Table A.1 are exceeded and the minimum time interval between two successive
exceedances is bigger than the integration time defined, further evaluation for short duration interference shall
be conducted for reduced integration times. For the axle counter detectors addressed in this document, the
emission limits and maximum time durations of exceedances for short-term interferences are listed in Table A.2.
The approach provided in EN 50592 can be used for evaluation of all kind of interference (e.g. also for repetitive
traction noise) as long as the criteria at the filter output are fulfilled.
5.3 Mitigating arguments when limits are exceeded
Mitigating techniques may be used to achieve compatibility case for the vehicle in cases where exceedances
from the emission limits in Table A.1 are recorded. The compatibility case shall follow the requirements in
EN 50238-1. From practical experience, a compatibility case is not credible if rolling stock emissions are 25 dB
above the limits stated in Table A.1 under any condition.
