Definitions
- LEDs Light-emitting diodes
- the rail network is essentially finished in many countries, incandescent lamps are widely used. They should therefore be able to be replaced by light emitting diodes on systems that are in operation.
- the existing control circuit which represents a significant part of the approval of the system, should be able to be maintained. The possibility of such maintenance is called retrofit.
- the special challenge with main and presignal signals lies in the precise current monitoring of the interlocking as well as the fact that the luminous points of a driving concept are switched on as series connection. Furthermore, the safety is to pay particular attention, since a failure of a luminous point can have an immediate endangerment of a train result.
- the solution must be flexibly configurable, since different combinations of signals are used.
- LED-emitting diodes as a retrofit for main signals are not yet available.
- LED-based luminous points require a special control element or a special configuration of the existing control and are currently only available for electronic signal boxes, which were designed from the start for operation with LEDs.

- one of the luminous points of a driving concept is defined as a master point.
- the driving concept comprises a selection of the luminous points of the railway signal.
- the driving concept is switched on by the signal box. When switching on the driving concept, each of the luminous points of the driving concept initially assumes a fixed electrical starting impedance.
- the voltage is determined above the master point. Based on the determined voltage, it is determined with which brightness value the signal box intends to operate the path signal.
- the impedance of the master point is adjusted so that the master point is operated with the brightness value intended by the interlocking.
- a method for monitoring a luminous spot operated by a light-emitting diode of a railway signal is presented.

- the buck converter 40 is used for realizing a variable load at the master point M, the slave point S, or generally at one, several or all of the luminous points 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 used.

Thereafter, the voltage across the master point M is determined.

- the problem of enabling the use of LEDs in train signals even when the interlocking has been designed for the operation of railway signals with incandescent lamps solved by a special master / slave architecture and a method for load distribution. Since in the installed base signal systems "series driving concept circuit" occur for the vein saving, a load distribution logic (load balancing) is required.
- the luminous points are defined as master points M and slave points S, so that exactly one master point M is involved in each driving concept.
- Zero to two slave points S are assigned to this master point, whereby one slave point S may be assigned to several master points.
- the fixed starting impedance must match an operating point of the incandescent lamp in order to adjust the operating conditions for which the system was designed.
- each light spot can monitor itself. If he detects an error, he interrupts the current flow high impedance, which leads to the shutdown of all involved light points. This fault is detected by the interlocking, and automatically "stop" turned on.

- a portion 52 of the light is coupled to a photodiode 53.
- a first monitoring circuit 54 determines whether the luminous spot generates sufficient light and, if appropriate, triggers the switching off of the path signal 3 with the aid of the monitoring circuit 55. By superposing the light of the light-emitting diode 51 with a high-frequency signal, the generated light can be distinguished from the ambient light.
- a method for monitoring a luminous spot 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 operated by means of a light-emitting diode 51 is preceded by a path signal 3.
- light is generated by means of the light-emitting diode 51 by means of a significant drive signal.
- a portion of the light generated by the light-emitting diode 51 is coupled out of the path signal 3 by the signal optics 56 as part of a driving concept H, F1, F2, F3, F5, F6.
- a smaller portion 52 of the light generated by the light emitting diode 51 is coupled to the photodiode 53.

- the monitoring circuit 54 may isolate the portion of the output signal generated by the light emitting diode 51 from the portion of the output signal generated by ambient light. A sufficient significance of the drive signal can be ensured, for example, by means of a frequency of the drive signal. If by the monitoring circuit 54 it is determined that the luminous point 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 does not generate enough light, the path signal 3 is turned off.
