KAVACH NMS Protocol
- KAVACH NMS is built on E1 interface, used for centralized monitoring of KAVACH equipped trains and stations
- KAVACH NMS collects signals, track occupancy, loco absolute position from Stationary KAVACH units within the network
- Each Stationary KAVACH (SVK) unit connects to adjacent SVK unit and Network Management System (NMS)
- SVK units communicate with NMS via predefined packets on the E1 network
- SVK units exchange Stationary-Stationary communication packets with adjacent SVK units and NMS
- The same network can be used for connection with the TSRMS network
- Onboard KAVACH and SVK have event logger modules that store vital events, messages exchanged between radio or other units, and diagnostic related messages
- Changes in NMS protocol may be possible without changes to the executive logic of the vital card
Packet Structure
- Packet structure is defined for communication between Stationary KAVACH units and the NMS
- The Start of Frame (SOF) field of each packet is 0xAAAA, indicating the start of packet transmission
- The Message Length field specifies the size of the packet, including itself but excluding the SOF field
- The Message Sequence counter is incremented by one with each packet transmission
- The NMS System ID identifies the stationary KAVACH unit within the network
- The System Version field identifies the software version of the stationary KAVACH unit
- The Date and Time fields record the current date and time in IST format
- The Total Event Relays field specifies the number of relays for which information is transmitted within the packet
- The Event Data field contains information about the current state of the relays
- The CRC field is used to verify the integrity of the packet
KAVACH NMS Packet Types
- Two main packet types are defined:
- Stationary KAVACH to NMS
- Loco KAVACH to NMS
- Stationary KAVACH to NMS packets are used for transmission of system health, event logger information, and relay status data to the NMS
- Loco KAVACH to NMS packets are used for transmission of loco health status, fault codes and recovery codes to the NMS
- The KAVACH subsystem type field differentiates packets sent from Stationary KAVACH, Onboard KAVACH, and TSRMS
- The Total Fault Codes field specifies the maximum number of fault codes that are transmitted
- Specific fault code types are defined for fault codes and recovery codes
- The Fault Code field contains the specific fault code or recovery code for the system
Event ID and Event Data
- Each Event ID corresponds to a specific event or health status
- The corresponding Event Data field provides a detailed description of the event
- This data can be used for monitoring the overall health and status of the KAVACH system
- Event IDs are specific to Onboard KAVACH and Stationary KAVACH
KAVACH Health Monitoring
- The Radio-1 and Radio-2 Health fields indicate the status of the radio communication link
- Radio health status can be "OK", "Diagnostic Link Fail", or "Radio Fail"
- The Radio-1 Input Supply field monitors the voltage supply of the communication link
- The voltage is monitored and a change in voltage by 1V triggers transmission of an updated value to the NMS
- The event logger module records the health and status of the system in a detailed manner
- This information helps to track and diagnose any potential issues with the KAVACH system within the network
KAVACH Fault Codes
- The Fault Code Type field identifies whether the code represents a fault or a recovery event
- The Fault Code field contains a specific code representing a detected fault or a recovery event
- Each fault code and recovery code are specific to the KAVACH system and the manufacturer
- This information is critical for troubleshooting and identifying the root cause of any malfunctions within the KAVACH system
