Definitions

  • the signal lamp arrangement itself comprises a control device.
  • This control device receives the control data and may operate the signal lamp by switching on or switching off an electric current which causes the lamp to emit light. Consequently, the signal lamp arrangement may comprise a power port for receiving electric power for the lamp and may further comprise a receiving data port for receiving the control data.
  • the power source for the electric current to the lamp may be located near to the signal lamp arrangement compared to the distance between the signal lamp arrangement and the interlocking system or interlocking device. Consequently, only a data connection between the interlocking device and the signal lamp arrangement is necessary for the control of the signal lamp arrangement.
  • the same data distribution network can be used to transfer control data from the interlocking device or interlocking system to many signal lamp arrangements.
  • the control device of the signal lamp arrangement may be connected to the at least one light sensor and may be adapted to determine an actual operating state of the at least one monitored lamp by evaluating a detection signal received from the at least one light sensor.
  • the actual operating state determined in this manner can be transferred to the communication receiver, in particular the interlocking system, by sending corresponding data via the sending data port of the arrangement. These data can also be called "status data".
  • Power may be supplied to the entire signal lamp arrangement through the power port.
  • the power unit of the lamp arrangement may be made to handle a variety of voltage sources such as AC and DC supplies and any practical voltage level such as 12 V to 240 V.
  • the power unit may generate the voltages that are needed by the control device and the lamps.
  • the control device might need a stable 5 V DC to power one or more microprocessors which are part of the control device.
  • the lamps might need a 12 V DC supply. Consequently, the power unit may be adapted to output different voltages.
  • the packet shown in Figure 5 contains six sub-packets. The meaning and function of sub-packet 1, 3, 5 and 6 has been described.
  • Sub-packet 2 contains a fixed bit sequence that indicates that the data packet contains a status reply to the interlocking system regarding the status of the lamp identified in sub-packet 3.
  • Sub-packet 4 contains a bit sequence that indicates the operating state of the lamp indicated in sub-packet 3.
