    I live in Austria, and I clearly remember the very first time I ever heard a Taurus accelerate, almost 20 years ago. At first, I really thought someone was playing the violin right behind me, but then I turned around and noticed it was the TRAIN ITSELF that's making these noises, and I was like: "Damn Siemens, what an epic move!!" I don't often travel by train, but when I do, I'm always looking out for a Taurus when I'm waiting at the platform. It's my favourite engine, and apart from its legendary start up sound, the design with the sloped front is absolutely timeless and still looks futuristic! 👌

      @@Myron0117 Switching Frequencies and synchronous pulse systems are defined in a software lookuptable implemented on the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) card inside the SIBAS32 traction control unit. The individual control cards of the traction control unit can be configured via a special serial port connection. However, I can not tell you more about loading software into critical components like this. If you want to know more, please apply at Siemens for a certified training course. You will receive valuable information about the SIBAS32 control platform. You will also gain insights into the topic of configuration and/or software loading. Learning more is never wrong!
      To make it clear: It is possible to generate musical melodies with any SIBAS32 TCU. Removing the „Taurus scale“ entirely would also be possible; setting the initial switching frequency to 300Hz. The semiconductor switches (Gate-Turn-Off Thyristors) inside the phase modules only define the boundaries of safely applicable switching frequencies.

    @s71402san Před rokem +2

    The music comes from PWM signal of various frequencies. This signal turns the transistor (a switch) on and off repeatedly, giving power to the motor and cutting it off. This makes the motor spin not continuously as if the train had rheostatic control system, but in pulses which can be heard, making the PWM modulated current a form of AC. This is the same nature of sound as of the loudspeaker. Because the PWM frequencies are various, it's called VFD - Variable Frequency Drive.

    • @tractioninverter
      @tractioninverter Před rokem +1

      You are kind of right, but some things are still a bit mixed up.
      Its actually called VFD because it can modulate variable frequency fundamental waves by implementing PWM. The voltage pulses create an artificial sine wave current which then creates a rotating magnetic field. The field is not perfectly smooth because of the pulsing - this creates vibrations. The vibrations are at the frequency of the PWM and get spread through the parts near the motor making them audible. The PWM frequency doesn’t really play an important part in this (it does, but not worth mentioning now). That’s why the first versions of this locomotive even played full melodies. Almost no videos of that were ever recorded (one is on my channel and the other one you can find in a „Bahnorama“ film about the Taurus). Another note: the semiconductor power switches used here are Gate-Turn-Off Thyristors (short: GTOs).

    The reason they make those sounds is very similar to the reason why the MR-73 Montreal metro fleet go "dou dou dou." The voltage required to power the motors is lower than that coming from the third rail/centenary. A device called a pulse with modulator breaks down the voltage to levels tolerable for the motors. That's the thing that produces those sounds.

    • @dasy2k1

      Well, this is the same reason, why both ČD class 362 (or ČD class 162) and Tatra T6A5 tram make a low pitched three tone upscaling sequence, when they're accelerating from the standstill. The sequence is composed out of three tones: 33 Hz, 100 Hz and 300 Hz.
      They all use pulse-driven high-current thyristors.
      Although there are some specialties.
      1st: Tatra T6A5 tram sometimes skips the first tone (33 Hz), only doing the second (100 Hz) and third tone (300 Hz). It also doesn't "hold" the third tone for too long, as it is slowly washed away by the sound of traction motors.
      2nd: After reaching certain speed threshold (aprox. 65 - 70 km/h), ČD class 362 (ČD class 162) shifts from third tone (300 Hz) to second tone (100 Hz). The drivers call this "an upper 100." IDK exactly the purpose of this downshift, but I guess it's meant to increase the thrust of the loco.

      The simple explaination:
      It is because of the way how the TCU is programmed. The TCU is the computer that generates PWM pulses which then switch the power semiconductors on and off - these powerful impulses create artificial sine wave currents. These results in a rotating magnetic field to turn the motor. Because of the pulses it is not perfectly smooth so the whole motor and the parts around vibrate with the pulsing frequency therefore making it audible for us to hear.
