Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Ersetzen eines ersten Stellwerkes, an das über erste Stellteile Feldelemente einer Außenanlage angeschlossen sind, durch ein zweites Stellwerk, an das über zweite Stellteile die Feldelemente der Außenanlage angeschlossen werden.The invention relates to a method for replacing a first interlocking, are connected to the first control elements field elements of an outdoor installation, by a second interlocking, are connected to the second control elements, the field elements of the outdoor area.

Ein solches Verfahren ist beispielsweise aus der DE 102011007601 A1 bekannt.Such a method is for example from the DE 102011007601 A1 known.

Der Stellwerksaustausch ist insbesondere in Großstädten mit bis zu 24-stündigem Nahverkehr außerordentlich problematisch, da Fahrplanauswirkungen wegen zu kurzer verfügbarer Umbauzeiten bisher unvermeidlich sind. Häufig muss ein kostenintensiver Schienenersatzverkehr und/oder ein ungünstiger Umleitungsfahrplan für den Schienenverkehr eingerichtet werden. Für den Fall, dass Betriebspausen, üblicherweise zwischen 1:00 und 4:00 Uhr, vorgesehen sind, kann der Hardwareersatz wegen der aufwendigen Funktionstests, Fehlerprüfung und Fehlerkorrektur der zugehörigen Software häufig nicht innerhalb der Betriebspause sichergestellt werden.The exchange of interlocking is extremely problematic, especially in cities with up to 24-hour local traffic, because timetable effects have been unavoidable because of too short available conversion times. Frequently, costly rail replacement services and / or an unfavorable detour timetable for rail transport must be established. In the event that operating pauses, usually between 1:00 and 4:00 clock, are provided, the hardware replacement can often not be ensured during the break due to the complex functional tests, error checking and error correction of the associated software.

Der Erfindung liegt demzufolge die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren anzugeben, welches das Ersetzen eines bestehenden Relais- oder elektronischen Stellwerkes auch bei sehr kurzer oder nicht vorgesehener Betriebspause, das heißt "unter rollendem Rad" ermöglicht.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method which allows the replacement of an existing relay or electronic interlocking even with very short or unscheduled break in operation, that is "under rolling wheel".

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch folgende, aufeinanderfolgende Verfahrensschritte gelöst:

  1. 1. Aufbau des zweiten Stellwerkes mit den zweiten Stellteilen,
  2. 2.Kopplung des zweiten Stellwerkes an das erste Stellwerk zur Übertragung von Meldungen der Feldelemente der Außenanlage an das zweite Stellwerk,
  3. 3.Anschluss des zweiten Stellwerkes an einen Bedienplatz zur Ansteuerung der Feldelemente der Außenanlage über die ersten Stellteile,
  4. 4.sukzessive Abschaltung der ersten Stellteile und Anschaltung der den gleichen Feldelementen der Außenanlage zugeordneten zweiten Stellteile und
  5. 5.Abtrennung des ersten Stellwerkes mit den ersten Stellteilen von dem zweiten Stellwerk.
According to the invention, the object is achieved by the following, successive method steps:
  1. 1. Construction of the second interlocking with the second control parts,
  2. 2.Coupling of the second interlocking to the first interlocking for the transmission of messages of the field elements of the outdoor facility to the second interlocking,
  3. 3. Connection of the second signal box to an operator station for controlling the field elements of the outdoor unit via the first control units,
  4. 4. successive shutdown of the first actuators and connection of the same field elements of the outdoor installation associated second actuators and
  5. 5. Separation of the first interlocking with the first actuators of the second interlocking.

Auf diese Weise ist lediglich ein einmaliges Abschalten des zu ersetzenden ersten Stellwerkes zum Einspielen der Software in Schritt 2 erforderlich. Dadurch ist ein vollwertiger Fahrgastbetrieb in Schritt 3 zunächst mit zwei Stellwerken, welche sich bezüglich der Feldelemente der Außenanlage über eine definierte Schnittstelle austauschen, möglich. Die Feldelemente der Außenanlage werden in Schritt 4 sukzessive an das zweite Stellwerk angeschlossen und mit diesem sofort wieder in Betrieb genommen. Immer genau ein Stellwerk hat die betriebliche Verantwortung im Sinne eines Master-Slave-Betriebes. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass in der Umbauphase während der ersten drei Schritte vollständig auf das erste Stellwerk zurückgeschaltet werden kann, wenn Softwarefehler, zum Beispiel bezüglich der Projektierung des zweiten Stellwerkes, festgestellt werden. Ein derartiger Probebetrieb zur Fehleranalyse kann bedarfsweise zeitlich verlängert werden, ohne Auswirkungen auf den Betriebsablauf.In this way, only a single shutdown of the first interlocking to be replaced for importing the software in step 2 is required. As a result, a full-fledged passenger operation in step 3 is initially possible with two interlockings which exchange with respect to the field elements of the outside installation via a defined interface. The field elements of the outdoor facility are successively connected in step 4 to the second interlocking and taken with this immediately back into operation. Exactly one signal box always has operational responsibility in the sense of a master-slave operation. Another advantage is that in the conversion phase during the first three steps can be completely switched back to the first interlocking when software errors, for example, with regard to the configuration of the second interlocking, are detected. Such a test operation for error analysis can, if necessary, be extended in time, without affecting the operation.

Gemäß Anspruch 2 ist vorgesehen, dass die Kopplung der beiden Stellwerke in Schritt 2 über eine Datenbusschnittstelle erfolgt. Dabei kann es sich zum Beispiel um eine Ethernet-Schnittstelle mit einkanalig sicherer Datenübertragung, zum Beispiel mittels SAHARA über UDP/IP, handeln. Über diese Nachrichtenverteilerschnittstelle werden Telegramme zwischen den beiden Stellwerken ausgetauscht.According to claim 2, it is provided that the coupling of the two interlockings takes place in step 2 via a data bus interface. This may be, for example, an Ethernet interface with single-channel secure data transmission, for example by means of SAHARA via UDP / IP. Messages are exchanged between the two interlockings via this message distribution interface.

Alternativ kann die Kopplung zwischen den Stellwerken gemäß Anspruch 3 auch über potentialfreie Kontakte erfolgen. Diese Möglichkeit besteht bei Relaisstellwerken. Allerdings ist die Bandbreie der auszutauschenden Informationen sehr hoch, da alle angeschlossenen Außenanlagenkomponenten Meldungen übertragen, so dass ein sinnvoller Einsatz bei der vorhandenen Hardware zu prüfen ist.Alternatively, the coupling between the signal boxes according to claim 3 can also be done via potential-free contacts. This possibility exists with relay interlockings. However, that is Bandbreie the information to be exchanged very high, since all connected outdoor equipment components transmit messages, so that a useful use of the existing hardware is to be checked.

Der Bedienplatzanschluss des zweiten Stellwerkes in Schritt 3 kann gemäß Anspruch 4 an einen neuen, für das zweite Stellwerk vorgesehenen Bedienplatz erfolgen. Wenn dies technisch möglich ist, kann aber auch der vorhandene Bedienplatz, der zum ersten Stellwerk gehört, weiter verwendet werden, wobei das zweite Stellwerk dann an diesen vorhandenen Bedienplatz angeschlossen wird. Das kommt besonders dann in Frage, wenn das erste Stellwerk ein elektronisches Stellwerk ist, welches durch ein zweites elektronisches Stellwerk ersetzt werden soll.The operator station connection of the second signal box in step 3 can take place according to claim 4 to a new, provided for the second interlocking operator station. If this is technically possible, but also the existing operator station, which belongs to the first interlocking continue to be used, the second interlocking is then connected to this existing operator station. This is particularly in question when the first interlocking is an electronic interlocking, which is to be replaced by a second electronic interlocking.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand figürlicher Darstellungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Figur 1 veranschaulicht schematisch die mit umkreisten Ziffern 1 bis 5 bezeichneten Verfahrensschritte zum Ersatz eines vorhandenen ersten Stellwerkes 1 durch ein neues, zweites Stellwerk 2. Das erste Stellwerk 1 ist über stellwerksspezifische erste Stellteile 3 und ein Kabelabschlussgestell 4 mit einer Außenanlage 5 verbunden. Die Außenanlage 5 beinhaltet die Gesamtheit der von dem ersten Stellwerk 1 über dessen Steilteile 3 anzusteuernden Feldelemente, von denen beispielhaft eine Weiche 6, eine Gleisfreimeldeanlage 7 und ein Signal 8 dargestellt sind. Die Feldelemente melden ihren aktuellen Zustand über das erste Stellwerk 1 an einen Bedienplatz 9 mit einem Bedien- und Anzeigesystem. FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the process steps circled with circled numerals 1 to 5 to replace an existing first interlocking 1 by a new, second interlocking 2. The first interlocking 1 is connected via interlocking-specific first control parts 3 and a cable termination frame 4 with an outdoor facility 5. The outdoor unit 5 includes the entirety of the field elements to be controlled by the first signal box 1 via its steep parts 3, of which, by way of example, a switch 6, a train detection system 7 and a signal 8 are shown. The field elements report their current state via the first signal box 1 to an operator station 9 with an operating and display system.

Auch das zweite Stellwerk 2 ist mit stellwerksspezifischen zweiten Stellteilen 10 ausgestattet und mit einem eigenen Bedienplatz 11 verbunden, sofern der vorhandene Bedienplatz 9 nicht weiter verwendbar ist.Also, the second signal box 2 is equipped with Stellwerkspezifischen second actuators 10 and connected to a separate operator station 11, if the existing operator station 9 is no longer usable.

In Schritt 1 wird das neue Stellwerk 2 mit den neuen Stellteilen 10 und gegebenenfalls dem neuen Bedienplatz 11 quasi neben der vorhandenen und in Betrieb befindlichen Stellwerksanlage aufgebaut. Danach werden in Schritt 2 die beiden Stellwerke 1 und 2 zwecks Datenaustausch miteinander gekoppelt. In Schritt 3 wird der Bedienplatz 9 oder 11 an das neue Stellwerk 2 angeschlossen, wobei über die Datenverbindung zwischen den Stellwerken 1 und 2 noch die alten Stellteile 3 von dem jetzt aktiv geschalteten neuen Stellwerk 2 angesteuert werden. Die alten Stellteile 3 werden in Schritt 4 sukzessive durch die das gleiche Feldelement ansteuernden neuen Stellteile 10 ersetzt. Nach erfolgreicher Überprüfung aller sicherheitsrelevanten Software- und Hardwarekomponenten und vollständigem Anschluss aller neuen Stellteile 10 an das Kabelabschlussgestell 4 und damit an die Außenanlage 5 kann im letzten Schritt 5 der Rückbau der nicht mehr benötigten alten Stellwerksanlage erfolgen.In step 1, the new interlocking 2 with the new actuators 10 and possibly the new operator station 11 is virtually built up next to the existing and operating interlocking system. Thereafter, in step 2, the two interlockings 1 and 2 are coupled together for the purpose of data exchange. In step 3, the operator station 9 or 11 is connected to the new interlocking 2, wherein the old control parts 3 are still controlled by the now actively switched new interlocking 2 via the data connection between the interlockings 1 and 2. The old actuators 3 are successively replaced in step 4 by the same field element driving new actuators 10. After successful verification of all security-relevant software and hardware components and complete connection of all new controls 10 to the cable termination frame 4 and thus to the outdoor unit 5 can be done in the last step 5, the dismantling of the old interlocking system no longer needed.

In dem ersten Stellwerk 1 müssen folgende Funktionen vorhanden sein oder implementiert werden:

  • Weiterleiten der Informationen der Außenanlage 5 an das zweite Stellwerk 2 für Schritt 2,
  • Weiterleiten der Stellbefehle des zweiten Stellwerks 2 an die Außenanlage 5 aufgrund der Telegramminformation des zweiten Stellwerks 2 und Unterdrückung der Stellbefehle des ersten Stellwerks 1 für Schritt 3 und
  • Umschaltmöglichkeit der Datenübertragung zwischen den beiden Stellwerken 1 und 2 bezüglich Melderichtung und Kommandorichtung für Schritt 4.
In the first interlocking 1, the following functions must be present or implemented:
  • Forwarding the information of the outdoor unit 5 to the second signal box 2 for step 2,
  • Forwarding the control commands of the second signal box 2 to the outdoor unit 5 due to the telegram information of the second signal box 2 and suppression of the control commands of the first signal box 1 for step 3 and
  • Switching possibility of data transmission between the two signal boxes 1 and 2 with respect to the direction of detection and command direction for step 4.

Das im Zusammenhang mit Figur 1 kurz umrissene Verfahren ermöglicht erstmalig einen Stellwerksaustausch unter rollendem Rad, das heißt ohne die Notwendigkeit größerer Betriebspausen beziehungsweise Unterbrechungen des Zugverkehrs.That related to FIG. 1 briefly outlined method allows for the first time a interlocking system under rolling wheel, that is without the need for major breaks or interruptions of train traffic.

Die einzelnen Schritte 1 bis 5 werden nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 2 bis 9 näher beschrieben.The individual steps 1 to 5 are described below on the basis of FIGS. 2 to 9 described in more detail.

Ausgehend von dem in Figur 2 veranschaulichten Ausgangszustand wird in Schritt 1 zunächst das zweite Stellwerk 2 ohne Anbindung an die Außenanlage 5 aufgebaut, wie Figur 3 zeigt. Alle Komponenten des neuen Stellwerks 2 werden installiert und an die Stromversorgung angeschlossen. Das betrifft insbesondere das Stellwerk 2 und dessen Stellteile 10 sowie gegebenenfalls den neuen Bedienplatz 11. Die Art der zu verwendenden Stellteile 10 ergibt sich aus den in Schritt 4 anzuschließenden Feldelementen der Außenanlage 5.Starting from the in FIG. 2 illustrated initial state, the second interlocking 2 is first constructed in step 1 without connection to the outdoor unit 5, such as FIG. 3 shows. All components of the new interlocking 2 are installed and connected to the power supply. This applies in particular to the interlocking 2 and its actuators 10 and, if appropriate, the new operator station 11. The type of actuators 10 to be used results from the field elements of the outdoor facility 5 to be connected in step 4.

Figur 4 veranschaulicht Schritt 2, bei dem das zweite Stellwerk 2 an das zu ersetzende erste Stellwerk 1 für einen bestimmten Zeitrahmen angekoppelt wird. Dazu dient eine in Figur 5 dargestellte einkanalig sichere Datenübertragung 12 zwischen Datenbusanschlüssen 13a und 13b der beiden Stellwerke 1 und 2. Innerhalb der Datenbusschnittstelle 13a/13b, zum Beispiel einer Ethernet-Schnittstelle werden Telegramme, beispielsweise mittels SAHARA oder UDP/IP ausgetauscht. Das erste Stellwerk 1 stellt dabei alle notwendigen Informationen bezüglich der Außenanlage 5 zur Verfügung. FIG. 4 illustrates step 2, in which the second signal box 2 is coupled to the first interlocking 1 to be replaced for a certain time frame. A single-channel secure data transmission 12 between data bus connections 13a and 13b of the two signal boxes 1 and 2 is used for this purpose. Telegrams are exchanged within the data bus interface 13a / 13b, for example an Ethernet interface, for example by means of SAHARA or UDP / IP. The first Signal box 1 provides all necessary information regarding the outdoor facility 5 available.

In Schritt 2 werden nur Telegramme in Melderichtung an das zweite Stellwerk 2 gesendet. Das erste Stellwerk 1 steuert weiterhin die Außenanlage 5 über seine Stellwerkslogik. Das zweite Stellwerk 2 hat in diesem Schritt noch keine Steuerungsfunktion. Die Datenbusverbindung ermöglicht aber die Kommunikation zwischen den Stellwerken 1 und 2 bis zu dem Bedienplatz 9 zwecks Funktionsprüfung.In step 2, only telegrams are sent to the second signal box 2 in the direction of detection. The first signal box 1 also controls the outdoor unit 5 via its interlocking logic. The second interlocking 2 has no control function in this step. However, the data bus connection allows communication between the signal boxes 1 and 2 to the operator station 9 for the purpose of functional testing.

Der dritte Schritt, die Inbetriebnahme des zweiten Stellwerkes 2, ist in Figur 6 dargestellt. Das zweite Stellwerk 2 wird über den neuen Bedienplatz 11 angeschaltet. Alternativ kann auch der vorhandene Bedienplatz 9 benutzt werden, wenn dies technisch möglich ist. Die gestrichelte Verbindung 14 zeigt diese Alternativanschaltung. Über die Datenbusschnittstelle 13a/13b wird dem ersten Stellwerk 1 die Einschaltung des zweiten Stellwerkes 2 bekannt gegeben. Das erste Stellwerk 1 empfängt nun die Stellbefehle an seine Stellteile 3 über die Datenbusschnittstelle 13a/13b vom zweiten Stellwerk 2. Ist die Umschaltung erfolgt, darf das erste Stellwerk 1 nicht mehr die Stellteile 3 über seine Stellwerkslogik beeinflussen. Innerhalb des ersten Stellwerkes 1 müssen die von dem zweiten Stellwerk 2 übertragenen Stellbefehle zur Ansteuerung der Stellteile 3 umgesetzt werden. Diese Funktionen müssen in dem ersten Stellwerk 1 vorhanden sein oder implementiert werden. Die Verbindung des alten Stellwerkes 1 zu dessen Bedienplatz 9 bleibt noch bestehen, damit das erste Stellwerk 1 weiterhin im Falle einer Rückschaltung bedient werden kann.The third step, the commissioning of the second interlocking 2, is in FIG. 6 shown. The second signal box 2 is switched on via the new operator station 11. Alternatively, the existing operator station 9 can be used if this is technically possible. The dashed connection 14 shows this alternative connection. About the data bus interface 13a / 13b the first interlocking 1, the activation of the second interlocking 2 is announced. The first interlocking 1 now receives the control commands to its actuators 3 via the data bus interface 13a / 13b from the second interlocking 2. If the switchover takes place, the first interlocking 1 is no longer allowed to influence the control units 3 via its interlocking logic. Within the first interlocking 1, the transmitted from the second signal box 2 control commands for controlling the control parts 3 must be implemented. These functions must be present or implemented in the first interlocking 1. The connection of the old signal box 1 to its operator station 9 still remains, so that the first signal box 1 can continue to be operated in the event of a downshift.

In Schritt 3 übernimmt das zweite Stellwerk 2 die Steuerung der Außenanlage 5 über das erste Stellwerk 1. Dabei kann das zweite Stellwerk 2 hinsichtlich seiner Funktionsfähigkeit überprüft und abgenommen werden. Bei einem Fehlverhalten kann zu jeder Zeit wieder auf das erste Stellwerk 1 zurückgeschaltet werden. Durch die Überprüfung und durch Testroutinen können die betrieblichen Belange und Projektierungen zur Ansteuerung der Außenanlage 5 sichergestellt werden. Auf diese Weise müssen anschließend nur noch die zweiten Stellteile 10 und deren Kabelverbindungen geprüft werden.In step 3, the second interlocking 2 takes over the control of the outdoor unit 5 via the first interlocking 1. Here, the second interlocking 2 can be checked and removed in terms of its functionality. In case of a malfunction can be switched back to the first interlocking 1 at any time again. Through the review and through test routines can the operational concerns and configurations for controlling the outdoor facility 5 are ensured. In this way, then only the second actuators 10 and their cable connections must be checked.

Figur 7 veranschaulicht Schritt 4, nämlich die schrittweise Umschaltung der Außenanlage 5 vom ersten Stellwerk 1 auf das zweite Stellwerk 2. Dabei wird die Verbindung zu den Feldelementen der Außenanlage sukzessive von dem ersten Stellwerk 1 getrennt und mit dem zugehörigen Stellteil 10 des zweiten Stellwerkes 2 verbunden. Dieser Verbindungsabbau und Neuaufbau der Verbindung erfolgt an dem Kabelabschlussgestell 4. Damit werden nach und nach alle Feldelemente über die zweiten Stellteile 10 des zweiten Stellwerkes 2 angesteuert. Die Prüfung und die Abnahme der korrekten Funktion des jeweiligen Stellteiles 10 in Verbindung mit der Außenanlage 5, beispielsweise die Zuordnungsprüfung, erfolgt für jedes einzelne Feldelement separat. Eventuelle Zuordnungsfehler wirken sich nur geringfügig aus, da diese nur ein spezielles Feldelement betreffen. Die hierdurch verursachte Betriebshemmung ist entsprechend lokal begrenzt. Vorteilhaft ist darüber hinaus, dass die sukzessive Umschaltung der Ansteuerung der Feldelemente von den alten Stellteilen 3 auf die neuen Stellteile 10 sehr leicht an betriebliche Gegebenheiten, beispielsweise Betriebspausen, anpassbar ist. FIG. 7 illustrates step 4, namely the gradual switching of the outdoor unit 5 from the first signal box 1 to the second signal box 2. The connection to the field elements of the outdoor complex is successively separated from the first signal box 1 and connected to the associated control part 10 of the second interlocking 2. This disconnection and reestablishment of the connection takes place on the cable termination frame 4. Thus, all field elements are controlled via the second control parts 10 of the second interlocking 2 gradually. The examination and the decrease of the correct function of the respective actuating part 10 in conjunction with the outdoor facility 5, for example the assignment test, is carried out separately for each individual field element. Possible allocation errors have only a minor effect, as they only affect a specific field element. The resulting inhibition of operation is correspondingly limited locally. It is also advantageous that the successive switching of the control of the field elements of the old control parts 3 to the new control parts 10 is very easy to operational conditions, such as breaks in operation, customizable.

Die noch nicht umgeschalteten Feldelemente werden weiter durch die Stellteile 3 des ersten Stellwerkes 1 angesteuert und melden ihre Zustände über die Datenschnittstelle 13a/13b gemäß Schritt 2 an das zweite Stellwerk 2. Die vorhandene Außenverkabelung kann unverändert beibehalten werden. In der Umschaltphase ist eine Ansteuerung der Außenanlage 5 durch die Stellwerkslogik oder den Bedienplatz 9 des alten Stellwerkes 1 nicht mehr möglich, weil nicht mehr alle Feldelemente über das alte Stellwerk 1 erreicht werden können. Wenn die Umschaltung aller Feldelemente auf das neue Stellwerk 2 erfolgt ist, dient das alte Stellwerk 1 nur noch als Verbindungsweg zu der Außenanlage 5.The not yet switched field elements are further controlled by the control parts 3 of the first signal box 1 and report their states via the data interface 13a / 13b according to step 2 to the second signal box 2. The existing external cabling can be maintained unchanged. In the switching phase, a control of the outdoor unit 5 by the interlocking logic or the operator station 9 of the old interlocking 1 is no longer possible because not all field elements can be achieved via the old interlocking 1. If the switchover of all field elements has been made to the new signal box 2, the old interlocking 1 only serves as a connection to the outdoor facility. 5

Der Rückbau des ersten Stellwerkes 1 erfolgt in Schritt 5 und ist in Figur 8 veranschaulicht. Sind alle Außenanlagenkomponenten über die zweiten Stellteile 10 an das zweite Stellwerk 2 angeschlossen und abgenommen, können das alte Stellwerk 1, dessen Stellteile 3 sowie ein nicht mehr benötigter Bedienplatz 9 abgebaut werden.The dismantling of the first signal box 1 takes place in step 5 and is in FIG. 8 illustrated. Are all outdoor equipment components connected and removed via the second control parts 10 to the second interlocking 2, the old interlocking 1, its control parts 3 and a no longer required operating station 9 are reduced.

Der Endzustand nach dem Abbau ist in Figur 9 dargestellt. Es ist ersichtlich, dass das zweite Stellwerk 2 zusammen mit den zweiten Stellteilen 10 und einem neuen Bedienplatz 12 nunmehr die Außenanlage 5 steuert.The final state after mining is in FIG. 9 shown. It can be seen that the second signal box 2, together with the second control units 10 and a new operator station 12, now controls the outdoor unit 5.
