REMMLOT

REmote Monitoring & Management

of LOcomotives & Trains
(Type MRM 360)

1
 PRESENT SYSTEM without REMMLOT

➢ In Micro Processor Based Control System, the data is stored

in the long-term memory and short-term memory

➢ The MEP system also has an event recorder, which stores the
fault messages along with other useful data.

➢ The data pack stored in the memory card of MEP system is

downloaded when the locomotives returns back to shed for
maintenance.

➢ This data can be analysed for taking proper action during

schedule maintenance.

2
 PRESENT SYSTEM without REMMLOT

➢ This fault data pack is also downloaded for analysis of

faults, which are registered during the run of the loco.
➢ Though the above data and information is available
for downloading at any time from the microprocessor
of the locomotive, this data normally becomes
available to the shed staff only when the locomotive
returns to the shed.

 REMMLOT Introduction
• REMMLOT consists of
1. Locomotive Remote Monitoring System (LRMS)
2. Loconet Train Management System (LTMS)

➢ LRMS is a Hardware unit with embedded Software remote interface

located in Locomotive, which interacts with LTMS remotely.
➢ LRMS interfaces with MEP\MAS\MCS to obtain Locomotive’s health, fault
diagnostics related data and other operational data. This data is
transmitted to the remote server by using the commercially available
GSM/CDMA Networks. The system also comprises of a GPS receiver from
which the position information is acquired and the same will be
transferred to LTMS.

4
 Introduction
➢ LTMS is a centralized server connected to the Internet via a Static IP
address provided by Internet Service Provider to communicate with
Locomotive Remote Monitoring Systems.

➢ It provides Data with a single point access through Internet to all the
Railway Staff at remote Locations.

➢ LTMS is a 24 X 7 service provider.

➢ The objective of LTMS is to provide data globally and helping the Railway
staff in Fault diagnosis and analyze Driver/Train performance,
Locomotive Performance.

➢ This system is used to improve operational safety and service the

locomotives better.

5
 Features
➢ It can monitor the locomotives remotely.

➢ It can monitor healthiness and can generate report of the locomotives on

daily basis.

➢ By monitoring the health data user can avoid the failures by taking
preventive action.

➢ Through alerts user can come to know the problem in the locomotive and
can guide the loco pilot in right time to avoid failures.

➢ User can configure the alerts based on their requirement.

➢ Overdue status will be indicated.

 LOGIN / LOGOUT
➢ To browse the LTMS go thru “www.loconet.in”

9
 LOGIN / LOGOUT
➢ Login page provides access to the Locomotive data with a valid User Name and
Password entered by the user.

➢ There are three types of users:

• Superuser
• Supervisor
• Operator

▪ The Superuser has the access to all the available Zones and Sheds.
▪ The Supervisor has the access to all the available Sheds of a particular Zone.
▪ The Operator has the access only to one particular Shed of a particular Zone.

➢ On completion of work, the user can LOGOUT from the Loconet site. The Logout
option appears on every screen of the Loconet site. So the user has an advantage
of logging out from any of the screen in which he is working.

 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

➢ MEP system with GPS is very helpful for monitoring the

health of the loco when loco is working on line.
➢ In case of some failures prior indications are available
➢ The parent shed shall monitor the health of the
locomotive, once or twice daily.
➢ This may result in prevention of some of the failure on line.
 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

➢ The home shed either can intimate the near by shed or

power controller where loco having some defect is
working, to take preventive action or to remove the loco
from service on first opportunity depending on the gravity
of the problem.
➢ Presently the password to retrieve the data is available
with the home shed only for their own loco. Thus the near
by shed where the loco is working will not be able to
analyse the problem.
 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

➢ Thus it is recommended to provide the password to all

sheds to enable them to check the health of the loco
operating in their territory before arrival of same in shed,
so that preventive measures can be taken.
➢ If lube oil level in sump and water level in extension tanks
are also available, it will help to take proper preventive
action on line
➢ ALF and Power control shall be advised to fill the
prescribed format of loco fitted with MEP and REMMLOT.
