Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reset-Verfahren für einen Achszähler.The invention relates to a reset method for an axle counter.

Achszähler werden in der Eisenbahnsignaltechnik eingesetzt. Derartige Achszähler sind z.B. aus der DE 196 38 956 A1 bekannt.Axle counters are used in railway signaling. such Axle counters are e.g. known from DE 196 38 956 A1.

Wenn sich bei einem Achszähler die Abschnittsauswertung im Zählpunkt befindet, wird für einen Reset ein Kommando zum Neustart der Abschnittsauswertung beispielsweise über ein zusätzliches Fermeldekabel zum Zählpunkt übertragen. Alternativ wird das Kommando zum Neustart über die Stromversorgungsleitung zum Zählpunkt übertragen. Dieses Kommando darf nicht durch Beeinflussungsspannungen auf die Stromversorgungsleitung erzeugt werden können. Ein Neustart wird durch Abschalten der Stromversorgungsspannung erzeugt.If, for an axis counter, the section evaluation is in the point of delivery is, a command for restarting the Section analysis, for example via an additional Fermeldekabel transferred to the metering point. Alternatively, the command is to restart transmitted via the power supply line to the metering point. This Command must not be influenced by influencing voltages on the Power supply line can be generated. A reboot is through Turning off the power supply voltage generated.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zur sicheren Übertragung einer Information über eine Stromversorgungsleitung anzugeben, die Störbeeinflussungen ausgesetzt ist sowie einen zugehörigen Zählpunkt für einen Achszähler.The object of the invention is a method for secure transmission of a To provide information about a power line that Interference is exposed and an associated metering point for an axle counter.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch einen Zählpunkt nach Anspruch 1, eine Eisenbahnsignaltechnikanlage nach Anspruch 4 und ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 6. This object is achieved by a metering point according to claim 1, a Railway signaling system according to claim 4 and a method according to claim 6.

Die Abschnittsauswertung für einen Zählpunkt eines Achszählers wird durch eine Stellwerksinnenanlage mit Gleichspannung versorgt. Zur Generierung eines Neustart-Kommandos wird die Polarität der Gleichspannung invertiert. Die Verpolung wird im einfachsten Fall über eine Diode erkannt. Um unterschiedliche Abschnittsauswertungen getrennt ansteuern zu können, wird jeder Abschnittsauswertung ein kodiertes Neustart-Kommando zugeordnet, z.B. ein Neustart-Kommando mit einer vorbestimmten Zeitdauer. In jeder Abschnittsauswertung wird dann die Zeitdauer eines empfangenen Neustart-Kommandos überwacht. Liegt die Zeitdauer innerhalb eines Zeitfensters, d.h. zwischen einer Minimal- und einer Maximaldauer, die für die jeweilige Abschnittsauswertung vorgegeben ist, so ist das empfangene Neustart-Kommando für die jeweilige Abschnittsauswertung bestimmt und der Neustart wird eingeleitet. Liegt die Zeitdauer außerhalb des vorgegebenen Zeitfensters, so wird ein Neustart nicht eingeleitet.The section evaluation for a counting point of an axle counter is performed by an interlocking system supplied with DC voltage. For generation a restart command becomes the polarity of the DC voltage inverted. The reverse polarity is detected in the simplest case via a diode. To control different section evaluations separately each section evaluation will be a coded restart command assigned, e.g. a restart command with a predetermined period of time. In each section evaluation is then the Monitoring the duration of a received restart command. Is that lying Duration within a time window, i. between a minimum and a maximum duration, which is specified for the respective section evaluation is, then is the received restart command for each Section evaluation determined and the restart is initiated. Is that lying Time outside the specified time window, then a reboot not initiated.

Beim Zählpunkt ist eine Grätz-Brücke vorgesehen. Sie dient dazu, die Stromversorgung für den Zählpunkt unabhängig von der Polarität der Versorgungsspannung sicherzustellen. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass Zählpunkte auch dann weiterhin mit Strom versorgt werden, wenn an einem bestimmten Zählpunkt ein Neustart durchgeführt werden soll. Die Achszählerauswertung kann daher zur Auswertung mehrerer Freimeldeabschnitte benutzt werden.At the point of delivery a Grätz bridge is planned. It serves to the Power supply for the metering point regardless of the polarity of the Ensure supply voltage. This ensures that Metering points continue to be supplied with power even if a restart is to be performed at a specific point of delivery. The Axis counter evaluation can therefore be used to evaluate several Free reporting sections are used.

Tritt beispielsweise durch einen Kurzschluss mit einer anderen Leitung eine Verpolung auf (galvanische Beeinflussung), so wird ein Pseudo-Neustart-Kommando generiert, das allerdings nach Überschreiten der maximalen Zeitdauer verworfen wird, und somit nicht zu einem Neustart führt. Im Gegenteil: Es schmilzt eine Sicherung in der Stellwerksinnenanlage durch. Durch das Abschmelzen der Sicherung und der Zeitüberwachung der Eingabe werden intermittierende Fehler durch Totalausfall offenbart. Damit ist eine sichere Übertragung ermöglicht. Occurs, for example, by a short circuit with another line one Reverse polarity (galvanic interference), then becomes a pseudo-restart command generated, but after exceeding the maximum Period is discarded, and thus does not lead to a restart. in the Opposite: It melts a fuse in the interlocking system. By melting the fuse and the time monitoring of the Input intermittent errors are revealed by total failure. In order to is a secure transmission allows.

Ein Kommando zum Neustart kann nicht durch einen Fehler oder eine Beeinflussung erzeugt werden.A command to restart can not be caused by an error or a Influencing be generated.

Durch Nutzung der Stromversorgungsleitung werden im Vergleich zur Verwendung eines zusätzlichen Fermeldekabels zwei Kabeladern eingespart.By using the power supply line are compared to Using an additional Fermeldekabels two cable wires saved.

Ein Kabel mit Fermeldeeigenschaften ist für die Übertragung der Neustart-Information nicht erforderlich.A cable with Fermeldeeigenschaften is for the transmission of the restart information not mandatory.

Vorteilhafte Eigenschaften sind den abhängigen Ansprüchen und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung zu entnehmen.Advantageous features are the dependent claims and the to be taken from the following description.

Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand einer Figur erläutert. Die Figur zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Ausschnitts aus einer erfindungsgemäßen Stellwerksinnenanlage und eines Ausschnitts aus einem erfindungsgemäßen Zählpunkt.In the following an embodiment of the invention with reference to a Figure explained. The figure shows a schematic representation of a Detail of an interlocking internal system according to the invention and a Detail of a metering point according to the invention.

Eine Eisenbahnsignaltechnikanloge beinhaltet in der Regel u.a. eine Stellwerksinnenanlage und mindestens einen Zählpunkt mit Abschnittsauswertung für einen Achszähler, die über Stromversorgungsleitungen miteinander verbunden sind. Ein Achszähler beinhaltet in der Regel zwei Zählpunkte, die mit Schienenkontakten verbunden sind.A railway signaling equipment usually includes, inter alia. a Interlocking system and at least one metering point with Section evaluation for an axle counter, the over Power supply lines are interconnected. An axle counter usually includes two points of delivery, with rail contacts are connected.

Die erfindungsgemäße Stellwerksinnenanlage 1 beinhaltet eine Umpolschaltung 2 zur Generierung von Neustart-Kommandos für den mindestens einen Zählpunkt durch Umpolung der ausgesandten Versorgungsspannung. Zusätzlich ist eine Sicherung 3 vorgesehen, die in den positiven Versorgungsspannungszweig eingefügt ist und dazu dient, eine durch Kurzschluss hervorgerufene Verpolung zu detektieren und zu unterbinden. The interlocking internal system 1 according to the invention includes a Umpolschaltung 2 for generating restart commands for the At least one point of delivery by reversing the polarity of the emitted Supply voltage. In addition, a fuse 3 is provided, which in the positive supply voltage branch is inserted and serves to detect a reverse polarity caused by short circuit and to prevention.

Der erfindungsgemäße Zählpunkt 4 beinhaltet eine Grätz-Brücke 5 und einen nachgeschalteten Detektor 6,8 zur Detektion eines empfangenen Neustart-Kommandos, das eine gegenüber der Stromversorgungsspannung für den Zählpunkt inverse Polarität aufweist. Der Detektor 6, 8 beinhaltet eine Diode 6 und einen Umsetzer 8. Der Umsetzer 8 ist beispielsweise als Opto-Koppler ausgeführt. Ferner ist ein Schaltnetzteil 7 vorgesehen, das der Grätz-Brücke 5 nachgeschaltet ist.The metering point 4 according to the invention includes a Grätz bridge 5 and a downstream detector 6,8 for detecting a received Restart commands, the one opposite the power supply voltage has inverse polarity for the metering point. The detector 6, 8 includes a diode 6 and a converter 8. The converter 8 is for example as Opto-coupler executed. Furthermore, a switching power supply 7 is provided which the Grätz bridge 5 is connected downstream.

Die Umpolschaltung 2 ist in die Versorgungsspannungsleitung zwischen Stellwerksinnenanlage 1 und Zählpunkt 4 geschaltet. Sie dient dazu, die Neustart-Kommandos zu generieren. Ein Neustart-Kommando wird dadurch generiert, dass die Versorgungsspannung umgepolt wird, d.h. invertiert wird. Dazu sind in der Umpolschaltung 2 Relaiskontakte vorgesehen. Die Umpolschaltung 2 weist Steuereingänge auf zwecks Ansteuerung der Relaiskontakte. Die Ansteuerung erfolgt z.B. über ein Softwareprogramm.The polarity reversal circuit 2 is in the supply voltage line between Interlocking system 1 and point of delivery 4 connected. It serves to the Reboot commands to generate. A restart command will be generated by reversing the supply voltage, i. e. is inverted. For this purpose, 2 relay contacts are in the polarity reversal circuit intended. The polarity reversal circuit 2 has control inputs on purpose Control of the relay contacts. The activation takes place e.g. about one Software program.

Die Grätz-Brücke 5 dient dazu, die Spannungsversorgung für das Schaltnetzteil 7 und den Zählpunkt 4 für den Normalfall und für den Fall einer umgepolten Versorgungsspannung bereitzustellen. Damit ist die Spannungsversorgung ununterbrochen gewährleistet, also auch während eines Neustart-Kommandos. Dies ist besonders vorteilhaft bei der Anschaltung mehrerer Zählpunkte an eine Umpolschaltung über die gleiche Versorgungsleitungen, da so auch die Zählpunkte weiterhin ungestört in Betrieb bleiben können, wenn ein bestimmter Zählpunkt durch ein Neustart-Kommando zu einem Neustart veranlasst wird.The Grätz bridge 5 serves to supply the voltage for the Switching power supply 7 and the point of delivery 4 for the normal case and for the case to provide a reversed supply voltage. This is the Voltage supply ensured uninterrupted, even during a restart command. This is particularly advantageous in the Connection of several metering points to a polarity reversal circuit via the same Supply lines, as well as the metering points continue undisturbed in Operation can remain when a specific point of delivery by a restart command is prompted to restart.

Schaltnetzteil 7 liefert die Versorgungsspannung für einen nicht dargestellten Rechner. Der Rechner kann auch ein Doppelrechnersystem oder ein Dreirechnersystem sein. Der Rechner ist des weiteren mit Umsetzer 8 verbunden. Detektiert Detektor 6, 8 einen Neustart-Kommando, so wird dieses dem Rechner mitgeteilt, der daraufhin einen Neustart durchführt. Switched mode power supply 7 does not supply the supply voltage for one illustrated calculator. The calculator can also be a dual-computer system or a three-computer system. The calculator is also with converter 8 connected. Detects detector 6, 8 a restart command, so will communicated this to the computer, which then performs a reboot.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist die Umpolschaltung 2 geeignet, Neustart-Kommandos mit mindestens zwei unterschiedlichen Zeitdauern zu generieren, wobei mindestens zwei Zählpunkten Neustart-Kommandos mit unterschiedlichen Zeitdauern zugeordnet sind. Umpolschaltung 2 ist z.B. über erste Versorgungsleitungen mit Zählpunkt 4 verbunden und über zweite Versorgungsleitungen mit einem weiteren Zählpunkt. Das Neustart-Kommando für Zählpunkt 4 ist z.B. gebildet durch Umpolung der Versorgungsspannung für 3 Sekunden. Das Neustart-Kommando für den weiteren Zählpunkt ist z.B. gebildet durch Umpolung der Versorgungsspannung für 5 Sekunden. Ein Neustart im Zählpunkt 4 findet nur statt, wenn ein Neustart-Kommando für 3 Sekunden empfangen wird, nicht wenn ein Neustart-Kommando für 5 Sekunden empfangen wird. Ein Neustart im weiteren Zählpunkt findet nur statt, wenn ein Neustart-Kommando für 5 Sekunden empfangen wird, nicht wenn ein Neustart-Kommando für 3 Sekunden empfangen wird. Mittels der unterschiedlichen Zeitdauern ist somit eine Kodierung realisiert zwecks individueller Ansteuerung von einzelnen Zählpunkten. Die Grätz-Brücke 5 in jedem Zählpunkt ermöglicht erst die Auswertung der Zeitdauer. Ohne sie würde jeder Zählpunkt bei Empfang eines Neustart-Kommandos zu einem Neustart veranlasst; mit ihr kann eine individuelle Auswertung erfolgen und einzelne Zählpunkte können angesprochen werden. Die nicht betroffenen Zählpunkte arbeiten uneingeschränkt weiter. Der Rechner des Zählpunktes 4 ist derart programmiert, dass er geeignet ist, zu überwachen, ob das empfangene Neustart-Kommando innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Zeitfensters liegt. Beispielsweise überwacht er, ob das Neustart-Kommando innerhalb des Zeitfensters 2 Sekunden bis 4 Sekunden liegt. Für Zählpunkt 4 ist ein Neustart-Kommando mit 3 Sekunden vorgesehen. Ein solches empfangenes Kommando liegt im vorgegebenen Zeitfenster und veranlasst einen Neustart. Im weiteren Zählpunkt ist z.B. ein Rechner vorhanden, der ein Zeitfenster von 4 bis 6 Sekunden überwacht. Ein empfangenes Neustart-Kommando mit 5 Sekunden liegt im vorgegebenen Zeitfenster und veranlasst einen Neustart. In a preferred embodiment, the polarity reversal circuit 2 is suitable Restart commands with at least two different time periods generate, with at least two metering points having restart commands are assigned to different durations. Polarity reversal circuit 2 is e.g. connected via first supply lines to point of delivery 4 and over second supply lines with another point of delivery. The restart command for point of delivery 4 is e.g. formed by Umpolung the Supply voltage for 3 seconds. The restart command for the another point of delivery is e.g. formed by Umpolung the Supply voltage for 5 seconds. A restart in the metering point 4 takes place only when a restart command is received for 3 seconds, not if a restart command is received for 5 seconds. One Restart in the further point of delivery only takes place if a restart command is received for 5 seconds, not when a restart command for 3 seconds. By means of the different ones Time periods is thus a coding realized for the purpose of individual Control of individual metering points. The Grätz Bridge 5 in each Metering point first allows evaluation of the time duration. Without her, she would each counting point upon receipt of a restart command to a Reboot causes; with her an individual evaluation can be done and individual metering points can be addressed. The unaffected Metering points continue to work without restriction. The calculator of the metering point 4 is programmed to be suitable for monitoring whether the received restart command within a given Time window is located. For example, it monitors whether the restart command within the time window 2 seconds to 4 seconds. For metering point 4, a restart command with 3 seconds is provided. Such received command lies in the given time window and causes a reboot. In the further point of delivery, e.g. a calculator exists, the monitors a time window of 4 to 6 seconds. A received restart command with 5 seconds lies in the given time window and causes a restart.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind die Zeitdauern der Neustart-Kommandos in der Stellwerksinnenanlage 2 programmierbar, z.B. für die Installation und/oder während des Betriebs. Zusätzlich sind auch die Zeitfenster der Zählpunkte programmierbar, z.B. telemetrisch durch die Stellwerksinnenanlage 2. Dadurch wird eine flexible Zuweisung von Neustart-Kommandos realisiert, die die gesamte Eisenbahnsignaltechnikanlage flexibel für Erweiterungen und Veränderungen der Topologie und Anzahl der Zählpunkte hält.In a further advantageous embodiment, the durations of the Restart commands in the interlocking system 2 programmable, e.g. for installation and / or during operation. In addition, the Time window of the counting points programmable, e.g. telemetrically through the Interlocking system 2. This provides a flexible allocation of Reboot commands realized the whole Railway signaling system flexible for extensions and Changes in the topology and number of metering points holds.
