    GE

    Transportation
    Its track-proven technology and years of reliability have made
    the GE Vital Logic Controller a rail industry leader in solid state
    interlocking control in North America.
    The multi-purpose VHLC provides control of power switch
    machines and DC lighting of signal lamps. It offers a direct
    interface to Electro Code track circuits and the DC track relays
    for the plant tracks and provides internal code emulation of
    most code system protocols.

    The VHLC replaces most vital and non-vital relays at an


    interlocking. Its software package, Logic Station (ACE), allows
    signal design engineers to program vital signal logic for the
    VHLC using relay logic diagrams.
    The basic VHLC system consists of the chassis, power supply,
    Vital Logic Processor, Auxiliary Communication Processor, and
    Site Specific Module. Various configurations for different code
    system emulations are available.

    A Leader in Interlocking Control

    VHLC Components

    Serial Interface Modules

    Specifications

    The VHLC chassis has positions for up to


    12 modules. Of these 12 slots, 9 can be
    configured with various combinations of
    input/output modules as required for a
    specific application. Vital serial links allow
    up to 3 separate VHLC chassis to be
    connected together providing additional
    expansion.

    Various serial interface modules provide


    communications capability with carrier,
    modems, data radio and wire line.

    transmits track signals. It can hold
    four Electro Code track interface
    circuits. Each VHLC chassis can
    interface with two of these chassis
    providing eight Electro Code track
    circuits.
