DEUTA-WERKE EQUIPMENT
Aksel is an authorized representative of Deuta-Werke GmbH – a well-known and recognized manufacturer of equipment for rail transport.
Deuta-Werke's main area of activity is design, manufacturing and development of complete systems of advanced equipment ensuring safe traffic of rail vehicles – from sensors to recorders to multi-functional terminals.
Deuta-Werke's products are designed to meet specific security requirements from SIL1 to SIL4.
Thanks to a very good knowledge of the Polish market and to support of a strong German partner, Aksel is able to provide comprehensive support to our clients – from placing the order to individual device configuration to obsolescence management.
1.1. MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDERS
Deuta-Werke GmbH has been designing, manufacturing and developing recorders since 1925. The company is one of the global leaders among manufacturers of such equipment for rail transport.
In designing REDBOX recorders, Deuta-Werke has focused on a uniform platform as a basis for various device versions. The device core, with communications structure, microprocessor and memory module, forms a stable base for all REDBOX recorders.
REDBOX recorders are designed to integrate with the system environment of the vehicle, forming real "tachometer hubs".
Overview of the advantages of REDBOX recorder family:
- perfectly suited to customer's needs – thanks to manufacturer's control over the entire life cycle of the product: design, manufacturing, configuration, fitting, technical support and obsolescence management
- stable operation – thanks to a uniform technological concept applied to all types of multi-function recorders
- reliability – thanks to robust construction, designed to withstand difficult environments
- comfort of operation – thanks to advanced service functionalities for remote and direct readout and analysis of trip parameters
- functionality – thanks to the possibility to adjust multi-function recorders to almost any vehicle system environment
- data security – thanks to storing the data in the recorder after readout and optional external protected memory
- compliance with legal requirements – thanks to conformity with EN 50155, EN 50121-3-2, EN 50126, EN 50128 and EN 50129 standards
REDBOXlog
The REDBOXlog recorder, with integrated Profibus, operates on an international scale as an ETCS Juridicial Recorder. Travel data is read out according to CENELEC Subset 027. It is also used as part of the ATP automated train protection system.
DESIGN
- compact, space-saving
- easy to install
- box housing or 19" rack module
DATA LOGGING
- adjustable data logging resolution
- internal memory card storage (the data remains in the recorder after readout, the oldest data is overwritten when memory is full)
- travel data readout via USB memory
- reconstruction of travel parameters at any resolution
OPERATION
- access via standard web browser (also remotely – if the vehicle's onboard network allows)
- support for various operating systems
- compatibility with ADS4 data analysis software
SAFETY
- compatibility with ETCS/ERTMS requirements
- data readout according to CENELEC Subset 027
- operation with optional protected memory (available separately)
REDBOXpro
The most popular data recorder model. Optionally can be fitted with display and keypad.
DESIGN

1.2. SENSOR
Deuta-Werke sensors stand out from the competition thanks to
- very high resistance to extreme temperatures, mechanical damage and wear
- patented measurement algorithms making them suitable for most demanding solutions
- self-diagnostics providing real-time information on operation mode and sensor condition
- longevity achieved by maximum utilisation of contactless measurements
Deuta-WERKE offers three groups of sensors, based on different measurement principles.
RADAR SENSORS
operate in a contactless manner, using the Doppler effect to measure the vehicles ground speed. Precise readout is done by a patented antenna circuit with a digital signal processor built into the unit.
HALL EFFECT SENSORS
thanks to contactless operation they have minimum wear and extremely long life. Their small dimensions ensure significant space savings and possibility to use in hard-to-reach locations.
AXLE-MOUNTED SENSORS
are highly resistant to dirt and vibration and practically maintenance-free. They offer various resolutions (impulses per revolution), whose value is mechanically defined at the manufacturing stage. This mechanical "memory" of pulse numbers is a solid basis for reliable measurements.
1.3. INDICATORS
Similarly to sensors, Deuta-WERKE offers their indicating units in three product groups, based on:
- stepper motors
- electromagnetic coils
- digital displays
The sensors offer the following features:
- high resistance to operating conditions
- reliability expressed by high MTBF
- compliance with SIL2 requirements
- low operating costs throughout the life cycle
- backward compatibility with regard to form factor, way of installation and functionalities – ensuring appropriate device will be available even when the original is discontinued.
