  • Wheel detector for detecting a wheel of a rail vehicle
    Patent number: 10875554
    Abstract: Provided is a wheel detector for detecting a wheel of a rail vehicle, including two detector channels. Each channel includes a coil unit which is connected with a measurement and feeding module for feeding the coil unit with an output signal of the measurement and feeding module. A decision module of the respective channel is bi-directionally connected to the measurement and feeding module. The measurement and feeding module of each channel includes a temperature measurement module and/or a module for measurement of mechanical vibration, that is/are connected with an input/inputs of a decision module of the channel. The decision modules are connected via a bidirectional digital interface. The decision module of one channel is connected via a bidirectional digital interface with a data transmission module for communication with a supervisory system via a data transmission line.
