Definitions

  • the invention relates to signal boxes for rail traffic. It relates in particular to a method for creating an electronic interlocking and an electronic interlocking.
  • relay interlocking i. electrical interlockings.
  • the fuse-related dependencies are completely electrically produced by signal relays.
  • the relay interlockings are increasingly being replaced by electronic interlockings.
  • the interlocking dependencies are implemented by software in dedicated computers.
  • electronic interlockings according to the prior art are based on a central computer, on which the entire track image is mapped in the form of software. Accordingly elaborate is the appropriate software and This has to be adapted and parameterized for each station, resulting in an immense effort for the certification.
  • the WO 2005/113315 shows a control system for railway signaling equipment, which is intended as a replacement of conventional relay-based systems.
  • Processor units are used to take over the function of each unit of a relay interlocking control.
  • the units used for this purpose are programmable processor cards which have a plurality of microprocessors and a memory. Also, this procedure is based so like electronic interlocking on microprocessors that work off commands set in a program; this being implemented so as to equivalently replace the switching logic of a relay-based system.
  • WO 03/070537 relates to a method for generating logical control units for train station computer systems.
  • WO 2006/051355 has a control system for railway vehicles to the content.
  • the control system has a plurality of programmable logic controllers (PLC).
  • the font US 5,922,034 shows a programmable device driver for railway signaling equipment.
  • the device driver acts as an input and / or output unit for a particular function, such as a relay, a signal light, a motor, a switch, etc. It has a CPU and RAM memory.
  • Various Device drivers may be serially connected; They are controlled by a central computer, which can be understood as an electronic interlocking. Also in the approach according to US 5,922,034 There are the disadvantages of the system discussed above.
  • a method for creating an electronic interlocking as well as an electronic interlocking are made available, which allow the replacement of relay interlockings by modern technology, without too much effort for changes would have to be made and without the certification effort is too large.
  • the switching logic of an existing relay interlocking is mapped to a functionally equivalent circuit of electronic components. It is therefore preferable to the components of the relay circuit functionally identical / equivalent semiconductor devices used.
  • the functionally equivalent circuit is a configurable logic circuit, ie a circuit whose functional structure is configured.
  • a 'generic' microprocessor to be processed, presented in a memory sequence of commands, but a function structure configured with interconnected blocks.
  • Creating Software for a Processor In a configurable logic circuit, circuit structures are created using hardware description languages or schematics, and subsequently these structures are transferred to the device for configuration. As a result, certain switch positions are activated and / or deactivated in the configurable logic circuit. This results in a concretely implemented digital circuit that i.A. works highly in parallel because each unit of the switch position works in parallel. In contrast, even the fastest microprocessors perform at most few and usually no operations in parallel.
  • FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array
  • Such may include memory cells (e.g., EEPROM, EPROM, SRAM, Flash) in which the configuration is stored. During commissioning, the configuration is transferred to the actual circuit.
  • the FPGA may also be permanently programmed by permanently establishing the connections between the switching units, for example with the so-called 'antifuse' technology.
  • the FPGAs are often also the Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD), which represent another example of configurable logic circuits.
  • CPLD Complex Programmable Logic Devices
  • a functionally equivalent circuit can be present in accordance with an approach if, for each input and output of the relay interlocking switching logic, a corresponding input or output of the functionally equivalent circuit is present and for the same binary input, a same binary output.
  • the interlocking preferably has a plurality of input and / or output units, which form the interfaces to the elements (switches, signals, Gleisokomeldeechen, track block monitoring units) of the outdoor facility.
  • These do not contain 'intelligence' (i.e., no logic) in many embodiments.
  • 'intelligence' i.e., no logic
  • they may also have a functional logic. They are dependent on the type of element to be controlled and serve only to convert the logic signal into the physical control of the corresponding element and thus, for example, the amplification and the potential decoupling between the logic unit and the external system.
  • the input and / or output units can be centrally located in the interlocking, i. in the interlocking building and essentially at the location of the logic unit. Thus, when replacing the relay interlock, ideally only components that are inside the building need to be replaced and installed.
  • the procedure according to the invention may also include the implementation of the circuit in a signal box.
  • the outputs of the functionally equivalent circuit are connected to the existing components to be controlled (switches (controls), signals, barriers (controls)) without them having to be significantly adapted or even replaced.
  • the architecture of the relay interlocking can be maintained substantially and thus eliminates a significant proportion of the design costs, and the entire certification process can be simplified.
  • the interlocking with programmable devices can be realized so that only minor changes to the outdoor facilities must be made. The maintenance is much less expensive than with conventional relay interlockings.
  • remote control and automation tasks and the integration into higher-level systems such as in a remote control system or in subordinate systems such as the ETCS (European Train Control System) can be done relatively easily by the logic modules used.
  • Another advantage over electronic interlockings is the speed. In comparison to the software of a conventional electronic interlocking, the interlocking with the logic circuit designed according to the first aspect of the invention shifts orders of magnitude faster.
  • the first aspect of the invention is, for example, for relay interlocking according to the shutter plan principle but also for relay interlocking according to the track plan applicable. Due to the advantages of the inventive approach to electronic interlockings to be replaced interlocking can also be a software-based electronic interlocking whose core function (binary output in function of the binary input) also by a fixed electronic circuit of semiconductor devices (iA at least one FPGA or a comparable Block) is replaced.
  • the architecture of a relay equivalent functionally equivalent circuit is established by transforming a shutter plan or a track plan into a logic circuit by an automatic translator.
  • the closure plan or the track plan may be in the form of a drawing, a table or in another technical form.
  • the automatic translator may be in the form of computer software that assigns electronic circuitry to the shutter / track schedule based on unique, predefined prescriptions.
  • the regulations are therefore comprehensible at any time and can be designed to meet the requirements of safety-relevant systems. They can also be verified by a certifying body.
  • An analogous procedure can also be selected for software-based electronic interlockings to be replaced, wherein for the circuit layout of the logic circuit, in which the logic is transformed, a corresponding alternative, based on the input-output logic of the software translation program is used ,
  • Particularly favorable is a combination of the first aspect of the invention with the second aspect.
  • this can optionally be transformed back into a comparable form to the original shutter plan / track plan with a back-translation algorithm.
  • the comparison between the closure plan / track plan and the reconstructed comparison plan can be part of the safety-relevant review.
  • a user after the inverse transformation, makes the comparison between the original shutter plan V / S and the comparison plan V '/ S' obtained by inverse transformation.
  • the representation of the comparison plan V '/ S' then makes sense again in the same way as the representation of the original closure plan / track plan V / S. So it makes sense that, for example, a similar representation occurs in a drawing, for example with the same local position in the representation or the same numbering or designation, or that the same names are used when using names for variables or signals.
  • metadata is generated by the translator, which is then used again for the inverse transformation. It goes without saying that these metadata do not fulfill a functional task; they merely serve for better readability of the comparison plan V '/ S' for humans.
  • the comparison between the closure plan / track plan and the comparison plan may be made by the computer.
  • the interlocking has a logic unit and input-output units which, as mentioned, correspond in their characteristics to those of the replaced relay interlocking.
  • the logic unit preferably has at least one communication input for control, automation, ETCS, etc.
  • the logic unit is in the core (i.e., in the elements that detect a binary output from a binary input) preferably free of microprocessors, i. of freely programmable units.
  • the logic unit may have additional systems which always ensure that the instantaneous logic function corresponds to the original logic function determined, for example, by the mentioned translation.
  • the input / output units of the electronic circuit preferably have similar connection structures to the outdoor equipment (switch controllers, signals, barrier controllers, etc.) as the replaced relay units. It is also preferred that the input-output units have similar external dimensions as the relay units.
  • the preferred features can help to make little or no changes to the outdoor facilities.
  • the architecture of the electronic circuit and the input-output units may provide according to a first embodiment, that the logic unit is connected in a star shape with the input-output units.
  • the logic function L is connected in a ring to the input-output units. This simplifies especially the wiring.
  • the ring can be a parallel or serial system, electrical or optical, without or be executed with error correction, one way or two way.
  • the possible characteristics of the communication have different costs and different characteristics: thus, an optically guided ring can have a large extent. Two-way communication has some error redundancy.
  • star and ring architectures are conceivable, for example, a plurality of subunits each having one or more input-output units, which are annularly connected to each other, wherein the connection between the logic unit and subunit is star-shaped.
  • Serial systems usually use data packets that are transmitted periodically. It is therefore technically easily possible to monitor this system state in a logging unit (for example, a separate "black box") and then to write (store) it. This allows all processes to be analyzed later by a computer that is directly connected to the "black box" B. This analysis can usefully be done during operation.
  • a logging unit for example, a separate "black box”
  • the first and the second logic unit preferably have an identical structure and have identical control inputs.
  • the signals from both logic units should be identical. If they are not identical, there is an error in one of the logic units or in one of the higher-level systems.
  • the input-output units can go into a "safe state” (eg signal to red) and / or trigger an alarm. Of course, the alarm can also be triggered by the "Black Box" B.
  • a shutter plan V (or, not shown, a track plan S) is detected by a computer Comp, optionally with a special input unit I may be provided.
  • the input unit may optionally be adapted to the format of the closure plan and, for example, have a scanner and corresponding software for detecting and detecting the symbols in the closure plan.
  • the closure plan can be present from the outset in electronically readable form.
  • the computer comp creates a logic function L #.
  • the logic function corresponds to the electronic representation of a logic circuit. It is mapped to a physical logic circuit that is implemented in a programmable logic device (FPGA).
  • FPGA programmable logic device
  • the method for constructing the logic function L # from the closure plan V (or a track plan S) is shown schematically in FIG. 1 in a specific embodiment which makes verification possible FIG. 2 shown.
  • a suitable translation program T will determine the logic function L #.
  • the translation program also creates a file M with metadata which is not relevant to security and contains, for example, information relating to the presentation of the closure plan.
  • a comparison plan V '/ S' is created from the logic function L # by a back translation program T -1 in the sense of 'reverse engineering', which is designed on the basis of the metadata so that, for example, a similar representation takes place or that the same names are used when using names for variables or signals.
  • the comparison C is made by a verifying person or alternatively can also be done by the / a computer, in which case the metadata is used instead of creating the comparison plan V '/ S'. can also be made available to the comparative program.
  • a user can make a manual adjustment via a corresponding manually-operated input option (Man).
  • Man manually-operated input option
  • FIG. 3 shows a star connection of the logic unit L (on which the logic function L # is implemented) with the input-output units IO 1 ... IO n .
  • the input-output units preferably have similar dimensions to the original relay units and also have similar connection structures to the outdoor equipment, so that little or no changes to the outdoor equipment must be made.
  • Reference symbol S denotes a communication input for communication with an input unit and / or with a higher-level system.
  • the logic unit L is also connected in a star shape to the input-output units; however via a switch X.
  • the architecture according to FIG. 4 is an annular architecture.
  • the logic unit L is annularly connected to the input-output units IO 1 ... IO n . While in a star-shaped architecture the wiring is structurally parallel (even a parallel architecture may optionally use a serial protocol), in an annular architecture it may be both parallel and serial.
  • the communication is serial, ie the data packet transmitted periodically by the logic unit, for example, contains data which contain the entire system state (switching state of each component to be controlled). Each input-output unit is addressed and extracts from the data packet the information needed for it. Because each data packet contains all the information, it is also suitable for monitoring the system and / or logging. For this purpose, the signal is also transmitted via the communication system CB to a "black box" B. There, the successive incoming data packets are stored and / or analyzed, usefully during operation.
  • the communicated state can be reliably transmitted to control systems or for operation under ETCS to the 'Radio Block Center' (RBC).
  • RBC Radio Block Center'
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 5 has, in addition to the logic unit L, a second, functionally equivalent and possibly identical logic unit L *.
  • the control inputs S, S * of the logic units are identical and identical driven.
  • the control signals of L and L * are passed through the communication system CB to the input-output units IO 0 ... IO n .
  • the signals of L and L * should be identical. If they are not identical, there is an error in one of the logic units L or L *, or in one of the superordinate system S or S *.
  • the input-output units IO 0 ... IO n can go into a "safe state” (eg set the signal to red) and trigger an alarm. The alarm can of course be triggered by the "Black Box" B.
  • Embodiments with two redundancy-aware logic units may also be used in star architectures or mixed architectures.
  • the logic unit can be realized due to the inventive approach by a comparatively simple means.
  • the first allows the approach two logic units to work independently of each other in parallel, which, for example, in electronic interlocking hardly in question. This, in turn, allows the redundancy, which is often very desirable, from a safety point of view.
  • the independence of the two logic units may mean, for example, that the logic units exchange no intermediate results, or even that no signals from the one control unit are processed by the other control unit.
  • FIG. 6 shows schematically using the example of FIG. 4 the connection to the outdoor area.
  • the bold black line symbolizes the boundary between the building in which the interlocking is located and the "outside".
  • the input and / or output units are each assigned to an element of the outdoor system to be activated, for example the unit IO B1 to the block B1, the unit IO W1 to the diverter W1, the unit IO S11 to the signal S11 etc.
  • the interface between the existing wiring of the External installation and the replaced interlocking forms a cable distributor V, which is also preferably present in the building interior.
  • FIG. 7 shows as an example a simple outdoor area with the track shown in the figure below.
  • the boxes B1 and B2 in the lower half of the figure designate the route blocks 1 and 2, W1 and W2 denote points, Sij are signals, and GFM1 and GFM2 train free-field units.
  • the correspondingly labeled boxes designate the input and / or output units assigned to the respective elements.
