MSDAC, HASSDAC, SSBPAC D & Data Logger

A 10-hour certificate training providing a comprehensive overview of MSDAC, HASSDAC, SSBPAC D, and Data Logger systems — the diagnostic and axle-counting backbone of modern railway signaling — covering architecture, operations, diagnostics, and maintenance.

Builds from axle-counter fundamentals up through component-level detail (wheel sensors, detection points, digitizers, evaluators), communication protocols and Electronic Interlocking interfacing, and hands-on familiarity with the leading vendor systems used across the industry — Frauscher, Siemens, Thales, CEL, GGTronics, ALTPRO, and MEDHA.

Why This Course Matters

One Course, the Full Axle-Counting and Diagnostic Stack

Axle counters and their diagnostic terminals are the quiet backbone of modern signaling — MSDAC keeps complex layouts safely sectioned, HASSDAC and SSBPAC D handle high-availability and block-proving duties, and Data Loggers turn all of it into an auditable event trail. Most engineers only ever learn whichever one their current project touches.

This course puts the fundamentals of all four systems, and the major vendor implementations behind them, into one 10-hour training — from wheel-sensor and detection-point basics through communication protocols, Electronic Interlocking interfacing, layout and cabling decisions, and the diagnostic skills to troubleshoot error codes and act on Data Logger alarms before they become failures.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you should be able to explain:

A clear, structured set of outcomes you can point to on your CV, interview or team introduction.

01

Differentiate between SSDAC and MSDAC, and explain why MSDAC is preferred in complex signaling layouts.

02

Identify and describe the function of each MSDAC component — detection points, wheel sensors, digitizers, evaluators, and configuration software.

03

Configure reset strategies (conditional vs. preparatory) to maintain safety during operational disruptions.

04

Compare communication protocols (Ethernet, CAN Bus, MODBUS, PROFIBUS) and explain how MSDAC interfaces with Electronic Interlocking for safe operation.

05

Assess cabling and data-transmission media options (copper cable, dark fiber, redundancy needs) for reliable system design.

06

Differentiate the architecture, diagnostics, and reset behavior of major MSDAC systems from Frauscher, Siemens, Thales, CEL, GGTronics, ALTPRO, and MEDHA, and apply vendor-specific diagnostics knowledge to select suitable systems.
