Abstract (en)

System designed to monitor the operational function of a turnout of a railway, which turnout is provided with an electric motor to turnout the turnout, which system comprises a current sensor providing a current measuring signal dependent from the motor current of the electric motor; and a processing unit designed to process the current measuring signal to monitor the operational function of the turnout. The system has a relay sensor providing a relay signal with which the system can determine the position (engaged or disengaged) of a with the turnout associated galvanic turnout relay being part of the driving or controlling of the operation of the turnout, wherein the processing unit is designed to process the relay signal; and the system is designed to monitor, with the current measuring signal and the relay signal, the relation in operational functioning between the electric motor and the said galvanic turnout relay, to determine from it the operational functioning of the turnout.
