1. OVERVIEW
1.1. PURPOSE
This document details the setup and use of the RailFly Mark I Wayside Information Unit (WIU),
intended for use in reporting the status of rail switches in dark territory for Positive Train Control
(PTC) operation.
1.2. CONCEPT
The RailFly Mark I Sensor is a single-bit, safety-critical, wireless device powered by the voltage
it is sensing. RailFly is designed to monitor a single side of a switch (e.g. normal side) in dark
territory. RailFly is not intended to monitor both sides of a switch (normal and reverse) or to
monitor a switch where both sides of the switch represent a valid PTC route (e.g. end-of-siding
switch). The use of RailFly is restricted to a single side of a switch whose other side does
not represent a valid PTC route.
A single RailFly installation consists of one to eight Sensors, one Master, a data link (via data
radio or hardwired), and a Communications Network Adapter (CNA) (Figure 1-1).
A RailFly cluster is composed of a Master and its associated Sensors. One CNA can support
multiple RailFly clusters.
Each RailFly Sensor is powered by wires that run through a switch controller. When the switch
controller is not in the intended position, the sensor does not have power and performs no
function. When the switch controller is in the intended position, the sensor is powered and
performs the function of wirelessly transmitting its vital status.
Each RailFly Sensor communicates wirelessly to a Master. This wireless communication
galvanically isolates the Sensor and the signaling system from the Master and the
communications network.
