CM (Coded Manual) Mode

if the system is without ATP, it needs to run on RM (18km/h limit, motor stops at 16km/h). otherwise, CM or ATO will apply as long as ATP is active. when ATP...

Oceane's talking 'bout the meter opposite the aircon-panel, not in the driver's cab. Smile

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.

^tamago^ SG

based on description it shld be (effective) voltmeter liao. Laughing

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.

Wanna bet? Cool

^tamago^ SG

Oh that one ah? Laughing

Okie lor, since you said so so be it.

LOL... so much talk about my mistake. Embarassed

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

C151: Amp Meter
C651: Laughing
C751: Hz, Voltage and Amp but you can only find this in the driver cab's LCD TIMS display

the 1st gens kawasakis also have... its at the same place, jus that its hidden inside... Laughing

C151: Ampere (driver cab), Voltage (passenger cars)
C651: Laughing Question , Newton-Meter (passenger cars)
C751: "multi-function LCD display"

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

^tamago^ SG

i use BVE. Laughing

i'm not sure about ur screen but u're right, they show the pressure in the brake lines in the train sim and not ammeter. in real life i cannot confirm for JR's trains since i need to go back to tokyo and see.

frankly speaking, EMG is not a good option in there. it is more effective than max service brake at lower speeds but less effective at high speeds. and u have to wait for the pressure to be released if u overshot. Confused

Normally you would brake before the station, for long distance runs I would go normally for the maximum speed, but brake before the station at about brake level 4 to 5, the norm for JR operations too. Enter the station at not more than 50km/h, and slowly adjust to the point you can stop comfortably.
For an experienced driver (not me really), using brake level 4 is already more than enough. For some thought, when an SMRT train brakes at its highest normal level (say the C151), its about brake level 5 of a standard JR train in Japan. Subway trains packs larger brake power.
