6 EBI Screen User Interface

This section describes EBI Screen User Interface (UIC) and operations which are commonly used by
operators. Some operations are available for all workstation but some are restricted to valid operators with
the right privilege.

The section begins with operator access to the User Interface Client (UIC) and related actions. It also
introduces EBI Screen System Manager Tool.

6.1 Starting EBI Screen UIC

When logged into MS Windows using ‘Operator’ username, the window as shown in the following figure
pops up and EBI Screen UIC is automatically started.

Figure 34: EBI Screen UIC application

100151953_EBI Screen_Operator_Manual_ Rev_C.doc Confidential and proprietary

Page 21 of 103
 100151953
Revision: C

To avoid the automatic start of UIC by a login, remove the check mark Automatic restart of UI in use within a
couple of seconds after the window has popped up. After that the UIC can be started by clicking the Start UI
button.

NOTE: EBI Screen OWS is configured to automatically start EBI Screen UIC application after logon to
Windows operating system. The right Windows username and password is needed for the system automatic
start. The detail about MS Windows username and password required can be found in EBI Screen
Installation Manual ref [2].

Figure 35: EBI Screen UIC is opening

As soon as the traffic light shows green, the blue dotted line stops moving in the bottom of the window
indicates that UIC is ready.

6.2 System Log in

When UIC is ready, the log in window pops up as shown in the following figure.

Figure 37: Typed in Operator Name and Password

Start a session by Logging into the system using pre-defined Operator Name and Password then click the
OK button.
Closing the dialog or clicking the Cancel button stops the session start. The user and password for EBI
Screen in Pakistan Railways Lodhran – Shahdara Bagh Resignalling Project will be provide 3 users,
 Operator1-4 (password: operator1-4)
 Supervisor1-4 (password: supervisor1-4)
 Engineer1-4 (password: engineer1-4)
CAUTION: Password is case-sensitive, please change password after you login into UIC (see section 6.3).

After a successful login, the Operator Profile window appeared. In this window the information of available
Role and Authority Areas are shown. The Privileges list on the left displays the privileges associated to the
role. The roles are fixed; no selection is possible at this point. Operator Role is a combination of authority
areas and privileges configured to each specific Operator.

Figure 38: Operator Profile window

The roles, authority areas and privileges compose a unique operator profile which defines the operator rights
during EBI Screen sessions. The authority areas define areas in which the operator is allowed to operate.
Privileges define actions the operator is allowed to perform.

The OK button confirms the operator selection. The Cancel button closes the dialog without any selection.

NOTE: Without any selected role, operators are not allowed to do anything with the UIC. Therefore a valid
login is always required.

CAUTION: It is recommended that operator select only his/her specific Area of control even when the other
areas are available (like in figure 34).

Operators can also login using menu on main menu bar as shown in the following figure.

8 Commands and Indications

This section describes various objects operators can monitor and interact with inside EBI Screen UIC and
how they can issue commands to those objects.

8.1 Command Type

Commands are classified into two types;
 Single object commands

 Multiple objects commands

The single object command requires only one object as the command parameter, while the multiple objects
command requires two/three objects.

Regardless of the number of the parameter in the commands, commands can also be categorized by
behavior;
 Normal commands

 Critical commands

Normal commands can be executed right away while critical commands require command confirmation. After
an operator issued a critical command, the related object displays command confirmation required indication
(normally as a Flashing Yellow rectangle frame surrounded the object or Flashing text as for Crank Handle
symbol and text of counter digit symbol)

Following figures provide an example of handling a critical command.

Revision: C

Figure 77: The signal is reset to normal

8.2 Command Entering

Commands can be entered using either mouse or keyboard.

When using a mouse, the operator can enter a single object commands by right clicking at the object then
the available commands will appear in a form of pop up menu as in the following figure.

To enter a multiple object commands, the operator first left click at the first object then second object (if any)
then right click at the last object, after that the pop up command menu shall appear.

Figure 78: Object pop up command menu

Figure 79: Multiple objects command pop up command menu

After the operator select a command by right clicking, the command with its parameters will appear in the
command bar and the Execute button will be clickable.

100151953_EBI Screen_Operator_Manual_ Rev_C.doc Confidential and proprietary

Page 40 of 103
 100151953
Revision: C

When using a keyboard, the operator can enter a command with parameters directly to the command bar
then the Execute button will be clickable.

The operator then proceeds by clicking Execute button to send the command string to the Interlocking.

And if the command‟s syntax was correct, message ‘Command sent OK’ is displayed in the command
response field to indicate that the command was successfully sent to the Interlocking.

On the other hand, if the command string is not correct, an error message will be displayed in the command
response field and the command bar‟s icon will indicate a warning sign.

Figure 81: Command string in the command bar

Figure 82: Command sent OK shown in Green

Figure 83: Error message shown in Red

What if …

Text in the response field shows „Unknown Command?‟ The command doesn‟t exist. Retype the command.

Text in the response field shows „Unknown Object!!‟? The object (the parameters) doesn‟t exist. Retype the
object.

Text in the response field shows „Too few Arguments‟? Not enough parameters in the command string.
Enter the right amount of command parameters.

Text in the response field shows „Command Not Allowed!!‟? Not enough privileges to issue the command, or
no authority. Change you role and/or authority areas.

Text in the response field shows „Unknown Route!!‟? Wrong parameters for the route command. Enter the
right parameters.

The response from the Interlocking device will be displayed in the command bar‟s response field. The
response log shows 8 latest command responses. Response text of a successfully executed command is
displayed in Green. Red coloured text indicates error in command execution.

You can cancel the command procedure by clicking the Clear button in the Command bar or the ESC key on
the keyboard any time before pushing the Execute button.

NOTE: From the figure 75, 78 and 79 the color of each frame surrounded each object has the meaning as
below.

1.Flashing Yellow Frame (In Figure 75) means this is a critical command and required operator to do
confirmation by right clicks at such object and then selects Confirm.
2.Green Frame (In Figure 78) means this is the single object command which only need to right click to one
object and select command from pop-up menu.
3.Grey Frame (In Figure 79) means this is one of multiple object which is selected to execute the command.
The first and second (if any) object require left-click selection and the last object require right-click to display
multiple object command such as Route Setting.

 Main route

 Call on route

 Shunt route

 Through route

9.2 Route setting
