Abstract:

A Polish research team has developed a new integrated transmission system. ZIST is designed as an intelligent concentrator of communication and data acquisition devices. Underground stations enable to connect underground devices like: telephones, signallers, detectors and others. Construction of the system is modular and allows easy extension and operation in various configurations. They are looking for partners interested in co-operation.

Description:

The ZIST system consists of two functional parts: surface station SP-ZIST and underground station SD-ZIST. Underground stations perform signal concentration from many underground devices like: phones, alarm-broadcasting signalling devices, detectors and others (both analogue and digital). The signals from these devices are converted into digital PCM (pulse-code modulation) stream. After concentration signals are transmitted by digital modems with high-capacity range HDSL (high-bit-rate digital subscriber line), MDSL (medium-bit-rate digital subscriber line) or by fibre optics (FoDSL (fibre-optical digital subscriber line)) to the surface station, which is the interface to the other communication or visualisation systems. The ZIST system ensures many configurations and a high security level (module redundancy, multiway transmission). The ZIST is an autonomic system equipped with buffered power supply, which ensures power supply of remote devices connected to the system.

Innovative Aspects:
- Full-duplex digital data transmission allows to achieve high noise immunity and low distortion
- Flexibility of integration with other devices and systems
- High capacity of the system makes easy extension and operation in various configurations possible
- Simple construction results in easy and maintenance-free operation

Main Advantages:
- High flexibility and functionality
- Feature enhancement of existing underground communication networks
