When lifting a multi-car train, the control system synchronises the lifting process by ensuring that all lifting platforms involved in the operation are raised and lowered at the same rate. The system is capable of performing 1, 3, 4, 8, and 12 car train lifting operations, selectable via a UniOp touch screen installed at the Main Control Centre. The control solution for this project comprises of 13 x Koyo DL405 PLCs communicating over a high-speed Ethernet network and interfacing to more than 2,000 I/O points.

This system allows the operators to lift a train in order to perform under-carriage work or to repair/replace the bogies. KAPP Engineering is currently in the final stages of commissioning the PLC control system for a train lifting system for the new High Speed Rail system in Taiwan.
