Amusement Technical delivers brand new control system for Fabbri Wilde Maus coaster
The customer had an unreliable and underperforming Fabbri Wilde Maus. Whilst the coaster has a small footprint it has the limitation of a relatively short track length for the number of cars and as such the cars need to come in to and out of the station fast. In addition, the ride is operated as a travelling attraction and therefore of paramount consideration within the design specification is the need to build up and dismantle easily and quickly. Furthermore, the rigours of the travelling process meant that all peripheral components needed to be extremely durable and robust.
Amusement Technical designed and delivered new control system which consisted of a self-contained operator console and control station which incorporates a centralised pneumatic control for the brakes.
The track sensors were integrated into a custom designed stainless-steel enclosure providing maximum durability and corrosion resistance.
A very exciting part of this control system design is that all the external peripherals are connected via the ASI protocol (Actuated Sensor Interface). ASI is a two-wire protocol which modulates the data over a higher-than-normal control supply.
The upshot of the solution means that all the external peripherals including two external control stations are connected via two-wire connectors which can be installed in any order thus making the electrical assembly between locations extremely easy.
The solution was designed, manufactured, and installed in accordance with EN13814, 13849 and 6024.
