SUPRA, Soridis’ new cutting-edge Alarm Supervision Software, allows railways to supervise all alerts on a rail network and monitor stations at both a local and regional level. SUPRA provides a complete graphic view of the network’s state and quicker troubleshooting through the setting of customised automatic alerts.
Every year, the French National Rail Infrastructure authority (RFF) invests more than € 2.5 billion in the national rail network, with further major investments by the National Railway Company (SNCF) and Paris’ own transportation services (RATP). In such a rapidly evolving market, the adaptability to new cutting-edge technologies is essential for all industry players, which are already re-designing the future of rail travel.
“We have been working with Perle for several years, for projects of such importance as the Infogare system. The solution that Perle provided proved to be perfectly adapted for this very sensitive application”, explains Serge Grouazel, Managing Director at Soridis. He continues, “When we had to source a supplier for our new Alarm Supervision Software, the choice of Perle’s I/O Device Server was an easy one.”
Perle’s Ethernet I/O Device Servers enable comprehensive access and control of remote digital I/O, analog I/O, pulse I/O, relays and temperature sensors as well as connections of remote serial equipment on any IP network. The IOLAN DS I/O Device Server has the ability to monitor environmental alarms, intrusion detection, relay contact closures and equipment failure. Through remote operator or application control, opening and closing of integrated relay contacts or activation of digital output signals can be incorporated into any response of a critical event.
Soridis is showcasing SUPRA during the International Railway Exhibition (SIFER) in Lille, from 26th to 28th May 2009.
