Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
MTBF, a reliability parameter, is a measure of the average time interval (hours) that will elapse before a repairable item fails (i.e. the average time a system is available and operating).
Mean Time to Failure (MTTF)
MTTF, a reliability parameter, is a measure of the average time interval (hours) to failure for a non-repairable (i.e. replaceable) element.
Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
MTTR, a maintainability parameter, is a measure of the average time interval (hours) required to repair a failed element. It represents the total time between detection of an element failure, and completion of repair (corrective maintenance). Hence the relation: MTTR = MADT + MLDT + MART
Mean Administrative Down Time (MADT)
MADT, a maintainability parameter, is a measure of the average time interval (hours) that elapses between the occurrence of a failure and the report of the failure.
Mean Logistic Down Time (MLDT)
MLDT, a maintainability parameter, is a measure of the average time interval (hours) for a maintainer to prepare to repair a failed element (e.g. obtain spares and tools) and reach the site of the failed element.
Mean Active Repair Time (MART)
MART, a maintainability parameter, is a measure of the average time interval (hours) to repair a failed element once a maintainer is on site (i.e. includes accessing the element, diagnosing failure, repair and placing the element back into service)

8. Overview - Existing & Future Configurations
8.1. Overview – Existing 25kV TPSS Configuration
The existing 25kV traction power SCADA system (TPSS) is configured to allow a duty Electrical Control Operator (ECO) to remotely monitor & control the switching stations serving the electrified sections of the AMPRN via remote terminal units (RTU) over redundant data networks.
The AMPRN 25kV TPSS is arranged in two levels, as follows:
Master Station Level, where the Operator remotely monitors and controls system-
wide equipment from a duty Workstation via redundant SCADA Servers located at the Dry Creek Rail Operations Control Centre (ROC) or the alternate Mile End Depot Backup Control Centre (BCC).
Switching Station Level, where RTU’s located at Lonsdale Feeder Station, Lonsdale SVC, Ascot Park Track Sectioning Cabin and Seaford Depot Track Coupling Unit provide interfaces to the field equipment that is monitored and controlled at these sites.
Communication within and between the master stations and switching stations is via dual Ethernet data links over redundant data transmission networks, as depicted below:
Figure 1 - Overview - Configuration of existing AMPRN (25kV) traction power SCADA system
The electrified portions of the AMPRN overhead line network and associated Switching stations are represented in the following semi-geographical Network views on each TPSS workstation graphic user interface (GUI).

The existing 25kV TPSS does not remotely monitor the state of hand-operated overhead line OHL track section isolators (TSI) used to switch / isolate OHL sections on the electrified 25kV network. These off-circuit TSI (see Figures 2 and 3 above) are defined as ‘hand-dressed’ devices on the Workstation GUI, and the ECO is required to obtain confirmation of the actual switch status from Authorised field personnel before manually amending the state of a specific TSI on the GUI.
8.2. Overview - Future Expansion
The ongoing electrification of the AMPRN requires expansion of the traction power SCADA system to enable remote monitoring and control of new traction power assets. DPTI prefers that any project works to extend the TPSS to new switching stations or integrate new assets (e.g. MTSI) on electrified sections should minimise modification to the existing TPSS. However, this DPTI preference does not preclude complete - or part - replacement of the existing TPSS where DPTI deems it is cost-effective to do so. Consequently, project proponents may propose to modify or replace any aspect of the existing TPSS to accommodate an extension of the rail network, or integrate new assets on electrified sections, subject to the following requirements:
Any works to extend the TPSS to new traction power assets or integrate new assets on electrified sections shall at least provide equivalent performance and functionality to the existing TPSS, as specified in Knet # 15311557 Hrail Traction Power SCADA System Architecture and Description document;
All TPSS works shall comply with the general requirements of this specification;
Project proponents must familiarize themselves with the detailed characteristics of the existing TPSS (refer to Knet # 15311557 Hrail Traction Power SCADA System Architecture and Description document) prior to proposing any modification;
Where DPTI determines the modification proposal has merit, the project proponents may be required to submit a detailed waiver application to the Manager Electrical Engineering to support the proposal;
When required by DPTI, such detailed waiver applications shall: o Identify each aspect that is proposed to be modified;
Traction Power SCADA Functional & Performance Specification - Train System

o Specify alternate systems, subsystems and equipment, as relevant, for each aspect that is proposed to be modified;
o Demonstrate that each aspect proposed to be modified complies with the relevant portions of this specification;
o Demonstrate how each aspect proposed to be modified shall be implemented with no unplanned impacts to - or reduction in - existing train services.
The Manager Electrical Engineering may also require the project proponent to submit a cost/benefit analysis with the detailed waiver application to demonstrate the positive net value of the proposed modifications.
The Project proponents shall be responsible in providing the operator training to the ECO’s and administrator training to the relevant engineering personnel, the qualifications shall be made to suit the Australian Qualified Framework training requirements.
Since SCADA system consists of a number of sub systems like software, hardware equipment like RTU, computers and other communication interface devices, it will be the responsibility of the tenderer/ project proponents to provide successful integration & satisfactory performance of complete system.
8.3. Future Expansion – Miscellaneous Notes
Project proponents should note that the 3-off ECO Workstations at the ROC and BCC are shared workstations that allow a single duty operator to remotely monitor and control traction power assets serving both:
the electrified sections of the 25kV Adelaide Metro rail network, and
the Adelaide Metro tram network, which is electrified at 600V DC. Aside from the shared workstations (refer to Figure 4), the train and tram traction power SCADA systems are functionally independent control networks.
Figure 4 – Shared TPSS ECO Workstation at the Rail Operations Centre
Project proponents should also note that remotely controlled motor-operated track section isolators (MTSI) will be installed at key locations in future. Works to integrate new MTSI into the existing TPSS shall ensure that:
Local hardwired / electronic interlocks are provided between the MTSI and the relevant switching station 25kV circuit breakers that feed the associated

portions of the traction overhead system. That is, control integrity of MTSI shall not rely on software interlocks applied at the master station SCADA level.
Each MTSI RTU communicates with the master stations via redundant data channels on the DPTI optic fibre data transmission network.
Each MTSI installation is provided with an SAPN LV supply and an LV DC battery.

the South Australian Government’s “Information Security Management Framework (ISMF DPC/F4.1), and
AS/NZS ISO/IEC 27002 Information Technology–Security techniques–Code of practice for information security Controls, Section – Physical and environmental security”.
11.6. Control integrity
The TPSS shall not provide electrical safety functions required to mitigate the risk of harm to passengers, staff or the public from electrical faults within the electrified areas. These regulated electrical safety functions shall only be provided by:
Independently operated HV & LV electrical switchgear and associated protection devices installed at switching stations to detect and interrupt electrical faults;
Earthing & bonding provisions at switching stations, and on the wider electrified train overhead line network, to dissipate electrical faults safely.
The integrity of traction power controls shall only depend on local substation automation controllers (e.g. IEDs / protection relays) serving the primary electrical elements at each outstation. That is, the integrity of traction power controls shall not depend on the SCADA and/or data transmission network systems and subsystems. Interlocking rules for each outstation’s primary electrical elements shall only be implemented within the local substation automation controllers (e.g. IEDs / protection relays) serving that outstation. The local substation automation system (e.g. IEDs / protection relays) serving the primary electrical elements at each outstation shall ensure that no unsafe states will occur regardless of any SCADA control inputs to the local substation automation system. Remote control of the primary electrical elements at outstations (e.g. controlled motorised switchgear) shall only be initiated from the ECO workstation at the master stations.
11.7. Data Integrity
TPSS design shall incorporate data integrity levels appropriate for the intended application and comply with all relevant standards, including EN 50128.
11.8. Timing Precision
All field RTU’s shall be capable of time-stamping event data received from field equipment to a precision of ±1 millisecond.
