Selectron Systems are pleased to present you our latest news. We hope that these selected reports will
provide you with some interesting news from our company.
Selectron presented itself at InnoTrans 2018 with the innovative next-generation TCMS and an integrated cyber security concept.
The two locations represent the new competence and development center for Ethernet, MVB, and WTB; they work in close cooperation with Selectron Systems AG.
Selectron got a new leadership team. Italy became a new competence and development center for Ethernet, MVB, and WTB technologies. Selectron is working on an innovative controller generation and has launched an initiative to develop cyber security as an additional corporate competence.
From the 2019/2020 timetable change, the new fleet of the successful Voralpen-Express product will be running on the rails between St. Gallen and Lucerne.
Selectron won the contract to supply the complete control system for the "Traverso." The TCMS is based on the components of the Selectron MAS 83x/73x and Smartio® 3xx with an Ethernet-based network architecture.
After around 40 years in service, VAG – the public transport operator of Nuremburg – is replacing all 42 subway trains of the DT1 series by 21 articulated trains, which will gradually come into service on the U1 line from mid-2019 onward. The G1, a four-car articulated train from SIEMENS, is about as long as two coupled double railcars.
Selectron was awarded the contract by VAG for the RFID evaluation and fleet management system as part of a Europe-wide tender. Selectron Systems AG is supplying the hardware components and software engineering for the applications and functions.

The successor model to the proven MVB 831-T/ExD communication module simplifies commissioning and maintenance by providing better access to the connections. In addition, the communication options have been extended by additional functions in the firmware.
The new edition of the EN 50121-3-2 standard meant that EMC remeasurements were necessary. Several improvements were also made during the course of this, which were implemented in revision E of the CDT 731 TG.
Important features such as cyber security, SIL 4, high computing power, and above all generic concepts with a focus on cost reduction. All this has been impressively presented and summarized in a product film featuring the new 9xx controller family.
You will find the Selectron product range and the extensive application possibilities resulting from it in our flyers with simple and project-oriented text and images.
Janko Caesar joined the technical support team to assist our customers on 3 September 2018.
Once a quarter, the CEOs and the Head of HR welcome the new employees at a Welcome Day.
This year, Selectron once again opened its doors to seven young people on National Future Day, to give them a day-long insight into the working environment of their mentors.
Various activities were on offer, such as simple programming, placement, and soldering, as well as administrative activities.
Selectron is presenting its new automation philosophy at stand No. 212 in Hall 6.2. The focus is on safety, security and cost-reducing concepts through new control architectures. They center on the newly developed high-performance CPU 94x controller family.
Virtual CPU applications, SIL 4 applications, ultimate vehicle control unit performance, and state-of-the-art cyber security are decisive keywords here. New Smartio® components such as SIL 2 CPU, Ethernet remote connections and signal conditioning modules (e.g., PT100) round off the current product family. We are also presenting a new wheel slide protection system in the Smartio® form factor. Last but not least, we will showcase our revised switches (Ethernet Consist Network, ECN) and routers (Ethernet Train Backbone), as well as new network gateways.

Greater use of networking and more standard technology for communication today mean an increased risk of cyber threats.
To enable attractive transport solutions to be introduced, Selectron is striving to offer next-generation TCMS products and solutions with integrated cyber security.
The first forty of the quiet, energy-efficient trams have been in operation in Helsinki since 2013 with an availability rate of over 99% from the Voith drive system. The vehicle operator has now ordered a further ten vehicles.
The TCMS system used in the vehicles is based on the open and flexible MAS 83x/73x automation system from Selectron. This takes over the control and diagnostic functions in the drive concept of the vehicles.

Arriva Netherlands has ordered 18 two-car trains of the new WINK type from Stadler. The vehicles are powered by a Deutz diesel engine running on hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) and also have batteries for storing the braking energy. The WINK rounds off Stadler's product portfolio of regional trains.
Selectron supplies the complete TCMS for the WINK with the latest control components and a modern network architecture.
After the winter break, the rudder control of the ferry from Piraeus was no longer operational after about 20 years of loyal service. After an odyssey from Piraeus to Lyss – and thanks to Selectron's exceptional service orientation – the ferry was able to depart on schedule just three days later.
Selectron is a TCMS specialist. However, for many non-specialists in rail vehicle electronics, this term is difficult to comprehend and the function of a TCMS is often unclear. This article describes the basic principles of the objective, use, functions, system components, system limitations, safety aspects and user benefits of an efficient "Train Control and Monitoring System".
The Symphony Suite platform has been improved: Catalog updating has been accelerated, the search function optimized, and the change history improved.
Since April 12, 2018, the management of Selectron Systems AG has been composed of Marco Fanger and Dr. Thomas Fischer.
