Electronic railway equipment - Train communication network (TCN) - Part 1: General architecture (IEC 61375-1:2012); German version EN 61375-1:2012
Elektronische Betriebsmittel für Bahnen - Zug-Kommunikations-Netzwerk (TCN) - Teil 1: Allgemeiner Aufbau (IEC 61375-1:2012); Deutsche Fassung EN 61375-1:2012
Overview
This part of IEC 61375 applies to the architecture of data communication systems in open trains, that is, it covers the architecture of a communication system for the data communication between vehicles of the said open trains, the data communication within the vehicles and the data communication from train to the ground. The applicability of this part of IEC 61375 to the train network technologies allows for interoperability of individual vehicles within open trains in international traffic. The data communication systems inside vehicles are given as recommended solutions to cope with the said TCN. In any case, proof of compatibility between a proposed train backbone and a proposed consist network will have to be brought by the supplier. The responsible committee is DKE/UK 351.1 "Fahrzeuge" ("Rolling stock") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
