Abstract

The points system (1) has at least a semi-conductor switch (131,132) to switch on the voltage (L1,L2) for the points drive (2) and a relay (WN) with a contact pair wired in series with the semi-conductor switch in order to cut off the power supply (110) in rest position. The drive has an adjustable resistor (V1,V2) wired in parallel to at least one relay contact. It has a double processor system (10) to control the relay and the semi-conductor switch. On switching it on, first the relay contact is closed and then the points drive is switched on by the semi-conductor switch. On switching off the drive, first the semi-conductor switch is switched off and finally the relay contact is opened.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Weichensteuerung in einem elektronischen Stellwerk.The invention relates to a switch control in an electronic Interlocking.

Eine Weichensteuerung dient zur Ansteuerung des Antriebs einer Weiche in einem Schienennetz und zur Überwachung der Weichenstellung. Dabei werden extrem hohe Anforderungen an die Ausfall- und Betriebssicherheit der Weichensteuerung gelegt. So muß beispielsweise ausgeschlossen sein, dass der Weichenantrieb durch eine Fehlfunktion der Weichensteuerung eine Stellspannung erhält, während gerade ein Zug über die Weiche fährt. Zur Zeit werden zur signaltechnisch sicheren Steuerung von Lasten ausschließlich Relais eingesetzt. Die Luftstrecke zwischen den offenen Kontakten wird als unverlierbare Trennstelle akzeptiert und ist praktisch erprobt. Dementsprechend sind bekannte Weichensteuerungen ausschließlich in Relaistechnik aufgebaut.A point control is used to control the drive of a switch in a rail network and to monitor the setting of points. there are extremely high demands on the failure and reliability of Set point control. For example, it must be excluded that the points drive by a malfunction of the points control a Control voltage is maintained while a train is driving over the switch. For now are used for signal-technically safe control of loads exclusively Relay used. The air gap between the open contacts is called captive separation point accepted and is practically tested. Accordingly, known point controls are exclusively in Relay technology built.

Die Entwicklung elektronischer Stellwerke begann mit dem Einsatz von Rechnertechnik in den zentralen Funktionen wie Meldung und Anzeige, Sicherung und Elementansteuerung. Ansteuerungen der Feldelemente wurden erst später durch Rechner übernommen. Schrittweise kamen Prozessoren und Mikrocontroller in der Gleisfreimeldung (Achszählerinnenanlagen und Zählpunkte), in der Signalsteuerung sowie in Schnittstellenbaugruppen zur parallelen Ein- und Ausgabe zum Einsatz. Aufgrund der hohen Zuverlässigkeit der Weichengruppen in Relaistechnik bestand bisher kein Anlass zum Technologiewechsel.The development of electronic interlockings began with the use of Computer technology in the central functions such as message and display, Fuse and element control. Controls of the field elements were only later taken over by computer. Gradually came processors and Microcontroller in the track vacancy (axle counter indoor systems and Metering points), in signal control and in interface modules for parallel input and output are used. Due to the high reliability the switch groups in relay technique was up to now no reason to Technology changes.

In Relaistechnik ausgeführte Weichensteuerungen haben jedoch einen hohen Raumbedarf. Daher ist die Entwicklung einer elektronischen Weichensteuerung für ein elektronisches Stellwerk wünschenswert.However, relay controllers executed in relay technology have a high level Space requirements. Therefore, the development of electronic point control desirable for an electronic interlocking.

Es ist daher eine Ausgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine elektronische Weichensteuerung anzugeben, die hinsichtlich ihrer Schalteigenschaften die hohen Sicherheitsanforderungen in der Stellwerkstechnik erfüllt.It is therefore an issue of the present invention, an electronic Specify point control, with respect to their switching properties the meets high safety requirements in interlocking technology.

Die Ausgabe wird gelöst durch eine Weichensteuerung nach Anspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den abhängigen Ansprüchen zu entnehmen.The output is achieved by a switch controller according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Reihenschaltung eines Relaiskontaktes und eines Halbleiterschalters vorgeschlagen. Diese vereint die Vorteile beider Schalterarten. Durch eine Kombination von elektronischem Schalter und mechanischem Kontakt wird ein verschleißfreier Schalter mit signaltechnischen Eigenschaften hergestellt.According to the invention, a series connection of a relay contact and a Semiconductor switch proposed. This combines the advantages of both Switch types. Through a combination of electronic switch and mechanical contact is a wear-free switch with signaling Properties made.

Vorteilhaft werden beide Schalter nacheinander betätigt. Beim Einschalten wird zuerst der Relaiskontakt geschlossen und anschließend der Verbraucher durch den Halbleiterschalter eingeschaltet. Beim Ausschalten des Verbrauchers schaltet zuerst der Halbleiterschalter ab und anschließend öffnet der Relaiskontakt. Dadurch wird der Relaiskontakt stromlos geschaltet und es tritt kein Abbrand (Verschleiß) auf.Advantageously, both switches are operated sequentially. When switching First, the relay contact is closed and then the consumer switched on by the semiconductor switch. When switching off the consumer first switches off the semiconductor switch and then opens the Relay contact. As a result, the relay contact is de-energized and it occurs no burning (wear) on.

Durch das verschleißfreie Schalten haben die Baugruppen der elektronischen Weichensteuerung eine wesentlich größere Lebensdauer. Durch den Halbleiterschalter kann in bestimmten Phasenlagen geschaltet werden. Dadurch verringern sich Einschaltstrom und Induktionsspannung beim Ausschalten erheblich. Störbeeinflussungen auf benachbarte Systeme werden reduziert. Due to the wear-free switching, the modules of the electronic Switch control a much longer life. By the Semiconductor switch can be switched in certain phases. This reduces inrush current and induction voltage during Turn off significantly. Disturbing influences on neighboring systems reduced.

Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der einzigen Figur erläutert. Diese zeigt ein Schaltbild der erfindungsgemäßen Weichensteuerung.In the following an embodiment of the invention with reference to the single Figure explained. This shows a circuit diagram of the invention Soft control.

Die Weichensteuerung 1 hat als zentrale Steuereinheit ein Doppelrechnersystem 10, bestehend aus zwei Mikrocontrollern vom Typ C167. Dieser Controllertyp und das dazugehörige Betriebssystem sind bereits in anderen Sicherheitsanwendungen eingesetzt und zugelassen.The point controller 1 has as a central control unit Dual computer system 10, consisting of two microcontrollers of the type C167. This controller type and the associated operating system are already used and approved in other safety applications.

Eine zweikanalige Schnittstelle 11 a, 11 b ist zum Anschluss an das elektronische Stellwerk vorgesehen. Diese kann z.B. als parallele Schnittstelle (für das ESTW Alcatel 6111 LockTrack), als redundante CAN-Schnittstelle (für das ESTW Alcatel 6151 LockTrack) oder als Busschnittstelle zur Anbindung eines TTP-Moduls (time triggered protocol) für das EWST Alcatel 6131 LockTrack ausgebildet sein. Es können auch mehrere Schnittstellen vorgesehen sein, die anwendungsbedingt bestückt werden. Diagnosefunktionen zur Störungssuche liefern LEDs an der Frontplatte der Baugruppe oder sind über ein Wartungsterminal an einer seriellen Schnittstelle zugänglich.A two-channel interface 11 a, 11 b is for connection to the electronic interlocking provided. This can e.g. as a parallel interface (for the ESTW Alcatel 6111 LockTrack), as a redundant CAN interface (for the ESTW Alcatel 6151 LockTrack) or as a bus interface for connection a time-triggered protocol (TTP) module for the EWST Alcatel 6131 LockTrack be trained. It can also provide multiple interfaces be, which are equipped according to the application. Diagnostic functions for Troubleshooting provide LEDs on the front panel of the module or are over a maintenance terminal accessible at a serial interface.

Die Weichensteuerung 1 wird über eine klassische Vierdrahtschnittstelle mit einem Weichenantrieb 2 verbunden. Dies erlaubt eine Anschaltung des Weichenantriebs mit minimalem Aderaufwand und Kompatibilität mit vorhandenen Außenanlagen. Der Weichenantrieb enthält einen dreiphasigen Motor 211, 212,-213, der die Weiche in die gewünschte Endstellung bewegt. Kontakte 221-224, die durch die Weichenzungen geschlossen oder geöffnet werden, erlauben ein Erkennen der Weichenstellung durch geeignete Prüfkreise 121, 122. Die Prüfkreise werden in einer parallel eingereichten Patentanmeldung desselben Erfinders näher beschrieben.The point control 1 is via a classic four-wire interface with connected to a point drive 2. This allows a connection of the Turnout drive with minimal wire expense and compatibility with existing outdoor facilities. The point machine contains a three-phase Motor 211, 212, -213, which moves the switch in the desired end position. Contacts 221-224 closed or opened by the switch blades be allowed to recognize the setting of points by appropriate Test circuits 121, 122. The test circuits are submitted in parallel Patent application of the same inventor described in more detail.

Die Stromversorgungsschnittstelle 110 enthält neben drei Drehstromphasen L1, L2, L3 (380/400 V), Nullleiter N und Massepunkt MP einen Anschluss für eine 60V Prüfspannung. Das Doppelrechnersystem überwacht die Weichenstellung und schaltet, wenn die Weiche von einer Endlage in die andere gestellt werden soll, die Drehstromphasen L1-L3 über die Vierdrahtschnittstelle zum Weichenantrieb 2. The power supply interface 110 includes three three-phase currents L1, L2, L3 (380/400 V), neutral N and ground point MP a connection for a 60V test voltage. The dual-computer system monitors the Switch point and switches when the switch from an end position in the another is to be made, the three-phase L1-L3 over the Four-wire interface for point machine 2.

Das Schalten der Versorgungsspannung erfolgt über Halbleiterschalter 131 und 132. Hierfür werden sogenannte IGBT-Module eingesetzt (Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistor), eine Kombination aus Feldeffekt und Bipolartransistor. Jedes Modul enthält zwei IGBT, einen für die positive Halbwelle und einen für die negative Halbwelle.The switching of the supply voltage via semiconductor switch 131 and 132. For this purpose, so-called IGBT modules are used (Isolated Gate Bipolar transistor), a combination of field effect and bipolar transistor. Each module contains two IGBTs, one for the positive half wave and one for the negative half wave.

Wenn zur Steuerung von signaltechnischen Leistungsstromkreisen Halbleiterschalter eingesetzt werden, ist deren trennende Eigenschaft aber nur bis zur Durchbruchspannung der Halbleiter gegeben. Bei Überschreiten der Durchbruchspannung (durch kurzzeitige Überspannungen) fließt durch die Halbleiter Strom, der in den Halbleitern eine hohe Verlustleistung bewirkt. Aufgrund der thermischen Überlastung schließt der Halbleiterschalter kurz und schaltet die Versorgungsspannung zum Verbraucher durch. Eine Weiche könnte dann Umlaufen, was natürlich unter keinen Umständen zugelassen werden darf.When used to control signaling power circuits Semiconductor switches are used, but their separating property is only given to the breakdown voltage of the semiconductor. When crossing the Breakdown voltage (due to brief overvoltages) flows through the Semiconductor Current that causes high power dissipation in the semiconductors. Due to the thermal overload the semiconductor switch closes short and Switches the supply voltage to the consumer. A switch could then circulate, which, of course, under any circumstances allowed may be.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch verhindert, dass ein Relais WN in Reihe mit den beiden Halbleiterschaltern 131, 132 geschaltet wird. In den Strompfaden der Leiter L1 und L2 sind jeweils ein Schließerkontakt des Relais WN und ein elektronsicher Schalter (mit IGBT bestückt) in Reihe geschaltet. Wenn bei hochohmigem elektronischen Schalter und geöffnetem Relaiskontakt impulsförmige Überspannungen auftreten, werden diese am elektronischen Schalter durch je einen Varistor V1, V2 begrenzt. Am elektronischen Schalter treten deshalb nur Überspannungen unterhalb der Durchbruchspannung der Halbleiter auf. Die Überspannung steht an der Luftstrecke des geöffneten Relaiskontakts WN an.This is inventively prevented by a relay WN in series is switched with the two semiconductor switches 131, 132. In the Current paths of the conductors L1 and L2 are each a normally open contact of the relay WN and an electronic switch (equipped with IGBT) connected in series. If high-resistance electronic switch and relay contact open Pulse-shaped surges occur, these are the electronic Switch limited by a respective varistor V1, V2. At the electronic counter Therefore, only overvoltages occur below the breakdown voltage of Semiconductor on. The overvoltage is at the air gap of the open Relay contacts WN on.

Als Relais wird ein monostabiles, zwangsgeführtes Kartenrelais verwendet, von dem ein Kontaktpaar durch den Mikrocontroller zurückgelesen wird. Damit wird eine prüfbare Netzabtrennung realisiert. Die Stellung des Kontaktsatzes von WN kann ständig über die Rücklesekontakte durch das sichere Doppelrechnersystem 10 geprüft werden.As a relay, a monostable, positively driven card relay is used by a contact pair is read back through the microcontroller. In order to a verifiable network separation is realized. The position of the contact set from WN can constantly via the read back contacts through the secure Double computer system 10 are tested.

Um eine hohe Lebensdauer der Relaiskontakte zu erreichen, werden diese als Trenner betrieben, das heißt, sie legen die Stromwege fest, schalten aber keine Leistung. Dies übernehmen die Halbleiterschalter 131, 132 verschleißfrei. Beim Einschalten wird zuerst der Relaiskontakt geschlossen und anschließend der Verbraucher 211, 212, 213 durch den Halbleiterschalter eingeschaltet. Beim Ausschalten des Verbrauchers schaltet zuerst der Halbleiterschalter ab und anschließend öffnet der Relaiskontakt. Durch das Nacheinander beim Schalten von Relais WN und IGBT kann der elektronische Schalter zusätzlich bei jedem Schaltvorgang geprüft werden. Im Zustand Relais WN eingeschaltet und IGBT noch ausgeschaltet darf an den Stromwandlern I Last und I off kein Strom gemessen werden.To achieve a long life of the relay contacts, these are called Trenner operated, that is, they set the current paths, but switch no performance. This is done by the semiconductor switches 131, 132 wear. When switching on, the relay contact is closed first and then the load 211, 212, 213 through the semiconductor switch switched on. When switching off the consumer first switches the Semiconductor switch off and then opens the relay contact. By the One after the other when switching relays WN and IGBT, the electronic Switch additionally be checked at each switching operation. In the state relay WN switched on and IGBT still switched off may be connected to the current transformers I Load and I off no current can be measured.

Zur Vermeidung von steilen Spannungsanstiegen oder zur Verringerung von Induktionsspannungen kann der Weichenmotor vorteilhaft im Nulldurchgang der Spannung eingeschaltet und im Nulldurchgang des Stromes ausgeschaltet werden. Dies wird durch ELDP 111 bewirkt (electronically programmable electronic device). Nach Freigabe durch das Doppelrechnersystem 10 steuert das ELDP 111 die phasenrichtige Steuerung der Umstellspannung.To avoid steep voltage increases or to reduce Induction voltages, the point motor can be advantageous at zero crossing the voltage is turned on and turned off at the zero crossing of the current become. This is done by ELDP 111 (electronically programmable electronic device). After release by the dual computer system 10 controls the ELDP 111 the in-phase control of the Umstellspannung.

Zur Steuerung der Weichensolllage dienen zwei weitere Relais R und L, die ebenfalls als zwangsgeführte Kartenrelais ausgeführt sind. Um die Weiche betrieblich nutzen zu können, wird eine permanente Überwachung der Ist-Lage notwendig. Diese Information besteht aus der Weichensolllage durch Rücklesen der Lagerelais und durch Überprüfen des Stromflusses im Überwachungsstromkreis (60V). Der Strom fließt durch eine Reihenschaltung des Schalters der Überwachungsspannung, dem Melder "Überwacht" mit Auffahrprüfer 121 und dem Melder "Aufgefahren" 122. All diese Module sind in Halbleitertechnik realisiert. Dies gestattet einen vom Doppelrechner überwachten Pulsbetrieb. Mittels eines geeigneten Algorithmus der Pulssteuerung lassen sich Ausfälle im Überwachungsstromkreis, Aderschlüsse und Spannungseinfälle durch zyklische Prüfung offenbaren. Das tägliche Umstellen betrieblich nicht benutzter Weichen kann deshalb entfallen.Two additional relays R and L, which are used to control the setpoint position are also designed as positively driven card relay. To the switch Operational use is a permanent monitoring of the current situation necessary. This information consists of the set point by Reading back the storage relay and checking the current flow in the Monitoring circuit (60V). The current flows through a series connection the switch of the monitoring voltage, the detector "Monitors" with Auffahrprüfer 121 and the detector "Aufgefahren" 122. All these modules are realized in semiconductor technology. This allows one from the double computer monitored pulse operation. By means of a suitable algorithm of Pulse control can be failures in the monitoring circuit, Aderschlüsse and reveal voltage incidents through cyclic testing. The daily It is therefore not necessary to switch over operating points that are not in use.

Trenntransformatoren dienen zur galvanischen Trennung der Stromwege. Zur galvanischen Trennung der Signalwege werden Optokoppler eingesetzt.Isolation transformers are used for galvanic isolation of the current paths. to Galvanic isolation of the signal paths are used optocouplers.
