ComatReleco: Intelligent Protection and Control Relays for Railway Infrastructure

Lead

25 October 2026, Düdingen/Freiburg, Switzerland — An article republished by Railway News and originally published by ComatReleco presents relay solutions intended for protection and control in railway vehicle and infrastructure applications. The article describes product functionality for pneumatic actuator control and overcurrent protection, naming specific relay models and citing relevant technical parameters and standards.

Verified facts

The article identifies two discrete relay products and their intended use cases. The CIM1R is described as a time-delay relay that provides precise timing control of pneumatic actuators; after energization the actuator is pressurized in a controlled manner and subsequently vented after a predefined delay. The article states this functionality supports repeatable switching sequences, high operational accuracy, and extended service life when applied to pneumatically operated vacuum main circuit breakers used in overhead line and pantograph systems. The MRS13R is described as an overcurrent protection relay which, when used in combination with current transformers, continuously monitors operating currents and protects against overload and short-circuit events. The MRS13R is reported to have a response time of less than 20 ms for fault detection. The article additionally notes the use of forcibly guided contacts in accordance with IEC 61810-3 to ensure clearly defined and reliably detectable switching states for feedback to higher-level control systems. The article was published 25 October 2026; no contract values, customers, deployment schedules, pilot projects, or suppliers are disclosed.

Operational and commercial context

According to the article, the CIM1R’s controlled pressurization and timed venting are intended to support repeatable switching sequences and high operational accuracy for pneumatically operated vacuum main circuit breakers in overhead line and pantograph systems; the article links this capability to extended service life of the installation. The MRS13R, in combination with current transformers and with a stated response time of less than 20 ms, is presented as enabling early detection of faults so affected sections can be disconnected quickly. The article reports that forcibly guided contacts compliant with IEC 61810-3 provide clearly defined switching states, simplifying diagnostics and enabling precise feedback to higher-level control systems. The article concludes that the combination of intelligent timing control and rapid current monitoring contributes to a robust, low-maintenance solution for applications where safety, reliability and long-term availability are priorities. These described implications are reported by the article; no independent verification, deployment case studies or operational performance data beyond the stated parameters are provided.
