CM (Coded Manual) Mode

during that time its on auto lor... by the way what is "coast'? cruising?Originally posted by VODKA KE0601:If i'm the TO, would probably use something to hold-down the deadman-switch, there's no surveillance in the driver's cabin, right? I meant sometimes i see them reading "the newpaper" or playing with their personal belongings. -
I've seen a train overrun for almost half the train length... it still managed to reverse back leh...Originally posted by Manager433:If over run, lets say if the distance ish more than the permitted distance, then the train cannot reverse liao. Must proceed to the next station. Sorry, cannot disclose the info.
also i heard that they have to seek permission from the station control? -
i dont know abt EWL... but from experience in rainy days on NSL, the TO sometimes drives on maunal from bishan to braddell... then from braddell to marina bay is auto le... other times from bishan straight to marina bay is auto all the way...Originally posted by ^tamago^:But usually they dun drive in "rainy mode" once past tiong bahru or braking at outram park leh.... sometimes even have to drive in "faster mode".
can tell because i'm used to the auto-pilot pattern in the tunnels -
Hmm, yeah, I saw many of them doing that too, haha, cos its like so sian in the cab during the journey, then also nothing to do...Originally posted by VODKA KE0601:If i'm the TO, would probably use something to hold-down the deadman-switch, there's no surveillance in the driver's cabin, right?

If I can ever be TO, I would drive CM all the way from BNL to PSR, haha... Yeah, really cool to drive straight... -
Cruising/Coasting is when no power is supplied to the traction motors and the train moves on its own momentum. There are flywheels attached to the the bogies which helps the train to maintain speed.Originally posted by SMRT 32373238:during that time its on auto lor... by the way what is "coast'? cruising? -

The middle is 0, then spreads out 1-8 on both sides.
So P1 = The meter turns clockwise to 1, B1 = turns anti-clockwise to 1?
I know coast is @ 0. -

Tat 1..., is the power it received from the third-rails or from the regenerative-braking system. Not a direct indication of the control stick's position. Correct me if i'm wrong.Originally posted by Oceane:Often in a train-car, I watch the power-meter.

i'd believe it's ammeter, a common yardstick for amount of power being supplied by the motors, but a "zero" at the middle suggests it's a voltmeter.Originally posted by VODKA KE0601:Tat 1..., is the power it received from the third-rails or from the regenerative-braking system.

Is not, the readings is in Kilo-Newtons. Used to measure acceleration and deceleration (or energy required/released). The higher the acceleration, the more energy is required. Likewise, the higher the deceleration the more electrical energy is "recycled" through the regenerative braking system.Originally posted by ^tamago^:i'd believe it's ammeter, a common yardstick for amount of power being supplied by the motors, but a "zero" at the middle suggests it's a voltmeter.
Edit: Btw, ammeter's for current and voltmeter's for voltage. Power would be current x voltage. (IIRC the lesson taught in mine electronics-module).

no no, it's not physics i'm driving at. the meter left of the speedo is an ammeter in this photo.Originally posted by VODKA KE0601:Is not, the readings is in Kilo-Newtons.

Hmm, not sure 'bout that.Originally posted by ^tamago^:no no, it's not physics i'm driving at, but wat i've seen in tokyo so far they have an ammeter that jumps between 0A and 300A.
Anyway, according to the brochure by Siemens, each C651-train set have 16x 140KW motors served by the 750 volts third-rail. So judging by this, and Since, Power=Current x Voltage, we can conclude each motor requires a current of 186.66 Amperes. And the entire train-set, 2986.88 Amperes. Of course, this's just a basic-figure, with no other variations involved. Apologized, if i got carried away with all these physics. LoL, just a part of what i do in life. -
Oceane's talking 'bout the meter opposite the aircon-panel, not in the driver's cab.

the current here should have a max of 186A, running as parallel circuit so that each motor gets 750V, but current at each motor shld be tat figure.Originally posted by VODKA KE0601:Hmm, not sure 'bout that.

based on description it shld be (effective) voltmeter liao.Originally posted by VODKA KE0601:Oceane's talking 'bout the meter opposite the aircon-panel, not in the driver's cab. -
Hiaz, trust me the reading is in Kilo-Newtons (energy, not voltage), i used to stare at the meter everytime when i'm in a C651. Volts and Power, not the same.Originally posted by ^tamago^:based on description it shld be (effective) voltmeter liao.
Wanna bet?

Okie lor, since you said so so be it. -
LOL... so much talk about my mistake.

Yes it was the meter at the end of the car. >.< -

the 1st gens kawasakis also have... its at the same place, jus that its hidden inside...Originally posted by VODKA KE0601:The one by semens. -

I've tried this simulator on the net made by a site dedicated to Japan Railway and I was driving in code manual. (No Auto, game). I see that the ammeter is used to measure braking pressure or ?. Well, P1 is at the least amount of power given and that was the gear that drivers use in depots. P4, is the highest and not used as it could jolted passengers. B is braking current. Ever saw train break before they enter the station? They used Emergency Brake and if you are a TO, don't use it. Passengers would be struggling to stand in the train.
If you guys want a try on the simulator, go to:
www.realrailway.com
Better change the option of language to English as the site is mainly Japanese. Go to Simulators and tada! You can choose whether to download the sim or play online.
P.S: A taste of real train driver life
