Abstract	We present in this work the use of the CONMac software, named so by authors, for the switch electromechanics failure diagnosis, when the failure cause is absence of electric control. The software is created in response to the need of quick and reliable methods for failure diagnosis as well as a way to safely operate remedies to the switch electromechanics. The software can be used by the traffic security maintenance staff of the Romanian Railroad Company (CFR). CONMac makes use of the diagnosis chart we created for handling such types of failures, a chart that shows the user questions and, according to the given answers, guiding her through finding the cause of the failure in loosing the electric control of the electromechanic switch. Absence of electric control to the switch electromechanics leads, every single time, to train delays, and, when operating rules are not respected for these failures, can lead to serious railway incidents. CONMac is an interactive software which allows a safe and quick failure detection from any Electrodynamic Centralized Traffic Control Station (CED), and can be used both as a PC application as well as on a mobile device.
