Verfahren zum Ersetzen eines ersten Stellwerkes durch ein zweites Stellwerk Method for replacing a first interlocking by a second interlocking

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Ersetzen eines ersten Stellwerkes, an das über erste Stellteile Feldelemente einer Außenanlage angeschlossen sind, durch ein zweites The invention relates to a method for replacing a first interlocking, are connected to the first control elements field elements of an outdoor installation, by a second

Stellwerk, an das über zweite Stellteile die Feldelemente der Außenanlage angeschlossen werden. Signal box to which the field elements of the outdoor unit are connected via second control units.

Der Stellwerksaustausch ist insbesondere in Großstädten mit bis zu 24-stündigem Nahverkehr außerordentlich problematisch, da Fahrplanauswirkungen wegen zu kurzer verfügbarer Umbauzei- ten bisher unvermeidlich sind. Häufig muss ein kostenintensi¬ ver Schienenersatzverkehr und/oder ein ungünstiger Umleitungsfahrplan für den Schienenverkehr eingerichtet werden. Für den Fall, dass Betriebspausen, üblicherweise zwischen 1:00 und 4:00 Uhr, vorgesehen sind, kann der Hardwareersatz wegen der aufwendigen Funktionstests, Fehlerprüfung und Fehlerkorrektur der zugehörigen Software häufig nicht innerhalb der Betriebspause sichergestellt werden. The exchange of interlocking systems is extremely problematic, especially in cities with up to 24-hour commuter traffic, because timetable effects have so far been unavoidable due to the short conversion times available. Often a kostenintensi ¬ ver replacement bus and / or an unfavorable diversion timetable for rail transport must be established. In the event that operating pauses, usually between 1:00 and 4:00 clock, are provided, the hardware replacement can often not be ensured during the break due to the complex functional tests, error checking and error correction of the associated software.

Der Erfindung liegt demzufolge die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Ver- fahren anzugeben, welches das Ersetzen eines bestehenden Relais- oder elektronischen Stellwerkes auch bei sehr kurzer oder nicht vorgesehener Betriebspause, das heißt „unter rol¬ lendem Rad" ermöglicht. Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch folgende, aufeinander¬ folgende Verfahrensschritte gelöst: The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method, which allows the replacement of an existing relay or electronic interlocking even with a very short or unscheduled break in operation, that is "under rol ¬ lendem wheel." According to the invention, the object by the following , successive ¬ process steps solved:

1. Aufbau des zweiten Stellwerkes mit den zweiten Stelltei¬ len, 1. Construction of the second interlocking with the second Stelltei ¬ len,

2. Kopplung des zweiten Stellwerkes an das erste Stellwerk zur Übertragung von Meldungen der Feldelemente der Außenanlage an das zweite Stellwerk, 3. Anschluss des zweiten Stellwerkes an einen Bedienplatz zur Ansteuerung der Feldelemente der Außenanlage über die ersten Stellteile, 2. coupling of the second signal box to the first signal box for the transmission of messages of the field elements of the outdoor unit to the second signal box, 3. Connection of the second signal box to an operator station for controlling the field elements of the outdoor unit via the first control units,

4. sukzessive Abschaltung der ersten Stellteile und An- Schaltung der den gleichen Feldelementen der Außenanlage zugeordneten zweiten Stellteile und  4. successive shutdown of the first actuators and on-circuit of the same field elements of the outdoor plant associated second actuators and

5. Abtrennung des ersten Stellwerkes mit den ersten Stell¬ teilen von dem zweiten Stellwerk. Auf diese Weise ist lediglich ein einmaliges Abschalten des zu ersetzenden ersten Stellwerkes zum Einspielen der Software in Schritt 2 erforderlich. Dadurch ist ein vollwertiger Fahrgastbetrieb in Schritt 3 zunächst mit zwei Stellwerken, wel¬ che sich bezüglich der Feldelemente der Außenanlage über eine definierte Schnittstelle austauschen, möglich. Die Feldele¬ mente der Außenanlage werden in Schritt 4 sukzessive an das zweite Stellwerk angeschlossen und mit diesem sofort wieder in Betrieb genommen. Immer genau ein Stellwerk hat die betriebliche Verantwortung im Sinne eines Master-Slave- Betriebes. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass in der Umbauphase während der ersten drei Schritte vollständig auf das erste Stellwerk zurückgeschaltet werden kann, wenn Soft¬ warefehler, zum Beispiel bezüglich der Projektierung des zweiten Stellwerkes, festgestellt werden. Ein derartiger Pro- bebetrieb zur Fehleranalyse kann bedarfsweise zeitlich ver¬ längert werden, ohne Auswirkungen auf den Betriebsablauf. 5. Separation of the first interlocking with the first Stell ¬ share of the second interlocking. In this way, only a single shutdown of the first interlocking to be replaced for importing the software in step 2 is required. This a full passenger service in step 3 is first with two signal boxes, wel ¬ che exchange with respect to the array elements of the external system via a defined interface possible. The Feldele ¬ elements of the external system are successively connected in step 4 to the second interlocking and taken with this immediately back into operation. Exactly one signal box always has operational responsibility in the sense of a master-slave operation. A further advantage is that it can be completely switched back to the first interlocking during the first three steps in the conversion phase, when soft ware ¬ error, for example, be determined with respect to the configuration of the second signal box. Such a product trial operation for error analysis may if necessary temporally ¬ be extended without affecting the operation.

Gemäß Anspruch 2 ist vorgesehen, dass die Kopplung der beiden Stellwerke in Schritt 2 über eine Datenbusschnittstelle er- folgt. Dabei kann es sich zum Beispiel um eine Ethernet-According to claim 2, it is provided that the coupling of the two interlockings takes place in step 2 via a data bus interface. This can be, for example, an Ethernet

Schnittstelle mit einkanalig sicherer Datenübertragung, zum Beispiel mittels SAHARA über UDP/IP, handeln. Über diese Nachrichtenverteilerschnittstelle werden Telegramme zwischen den beiden Stellwerken ausgetauscht. Interface with single-channel secure data transmission, for example by means of SAHARA over UDP / IP act. Messages are exchanged between the two interlockings via this message distribution interface.

Alternativ kann die Kopplung zwischen den Stellwerken gemäß Anspruch 3 auch über potentialfreie Kontakte erfolgen. Diese Möglichkeit besteht bei Relaisstellwerken. Allerdings ist die Bandbreie der auszutauschenden Informationen sehr hoch, da alle angeschlossenen Außenanlagenkomponenten Meldungen übertragen, so dass ein sinnvoller Einsatz bei der vorhandenen Hardware zu prüfen ist. Alternatively, the coupling between the signal boxes according to claim 3 can also be done via potential-free contacts. This possibility exists with relay interlockings. However, that is Bandbreie the information to be exchanged very high, since all connected outdoor equipment components transmit messages, so that a meaningful use of the existing hardware is to be checked.

Der Bedienplatzanschluss des zweiten Stellwerkes in Schritt 3 kann gemäß Anspruch 4 an einen neuen, für das zweite Stellwerk vorgesehenen Bedienplatz erfolgen. Wenn dies technisch möglich ist, kann aber auch der vorhandene Bedienplatz, der zum ersten Stellwerk gehört, weiter verwendet werden, wobei das zweite Stellwerk dann an diesen vorhandenen Bedienplatz angeschlossen wird. Das kommt besonders dann in Frage, wenn das erste Stellwerk ein elektronisches Stellwerk ist, welches durch ein zweites elektronisches Stellwerk ersetzt werden soll. The operator station connection of the second signal box in step 3 can be carried out according to claim 4 to a new, provided for the second interlocking operator station. If this is technically possible, but also the existing operator station, which belongs to the first interlocking continue to be used, the second interlocking is then connected to this existing operator station. This is particularly in question when the first interlocking is an electronic interlocking, which is to be replaced by a second electronic interlocking.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand figürlicher Darstellungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen: Figur 1 eine Übersicht der erfindungsgemäßen fünf Verfahrensschritte zum Ersetzen eines ersten Stellwerkes durch ein zweites Stellwerk, The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to figurative representations. 1 shows an overview of the five method steps according to the invention for replacing a first signal box with a second signal box,

Figur 9 das zweite Stellwerk in Betriebszustand. Figur 1 veranschaulicht schematisch die mit umkreisten Ziffern 1 bis 5 bezeichneten Verfahrensschritte zum Ersatz eines vorhandenen ersten Stellwerkes 1 durch ein neues, zweites Stellwerk 2. Das erste Stellwerk 1 ist über stellwerksspezifische erste Stellteile 3 und ein Kabelabschlussgestell 4 mit einer Außenanlage 5 verbunden. Die Außenanlage 5 beinhaltet die Gesamtheit der von dem ersten Stellwerk 1 über dessen Steilteile 3 anzusteuernden Feldelemente, von denen beispiel- haft eine Weiche 6, eine Gleisfreimeldeanlage 7 und ein Sig¬ nal 8 dargestellt sind. Die Feldelemente melden ihren aktuel¬ len Zustand über das erste Stellwerk 1 an einen Bedienplatz 9 mit einem Bedien- und Anzeigesystem. Auch das zweite Stellwerk 2 ist mit stellwerksspezifischen zweiten Stellteilen 10 ausgestattet und mit einem eigenen Bedienplatz 11 verbunden, sofern der vorhandene Bedienplatz 9 nicht weiter verwendbar ist. In Schritt 1 wird das neue Stellwerk 2 mit den neuen Stell¬ teilen 10 und gegebenenfalls dem neuen Bedienplatz 11 quasi neben der vorhandenen und in Betrieb befindlichen Stellwerksanlage aufgebaut. Danach werden in Schritt 2 die beiden Figure 9, the second interlocking in operating condition. FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the process steps described with circled numbers 1 to 5 for replacing an existing first interlocking 1 with a new, second interlocking 2. The first interlocking 1 is connected to an outside installation 5 via interlocking-specific first control elements 3 and a cable termination frame 4. The outdoor unit 5 includes the entirety of the ball on the parts 3 to be driven from the first interlocking 1 field elements, one of which by way of example a switch 6, a track-free signaling system 7 and a Sig nal ¬ are shown. 8 Report the array elements their aktuel ¬ len state the first signal box 1 to a workstation 9 with a control and display system. Also, the second signal box 2 is equipped with Stellwerkspezifischen second actuators 10 and connected to a separate operator station 11, if the existing operator station 9 is no longer usable. In step 1, the new interlocking 2 with the new Stell ¬ share 10 and possibly the new operator station 11 is virtually built up next to the existing and in-service interlocking system. Then in step 2 the two

Stellwerke 1 und 2 zwecks Datenaustausch miteinander gekop- pelt. In Schritt 3 wird der Bedienplatz 9 oder 11 an das neue Stellwerk 2 angeschlossen, wobei über die Datenverbindung zwischen den Stellwerken 1 und 2 noch die alten Stellteile 3 von dem jetzt aktiv geschalteten neuen Stellwerk 2 angesteuert werden. Die alten Stellteile 3 werden in Schritt 4 sukzessive durch die das gleiche Feldelement ansteuernden neuen Stellteile 10 ersetzt. Nach erfolgreicher Überprüfung aller sicherheitsrelevanten Software- und Hardwarekomponenten und vollständigem Anschluss aller neuen Stellteile 10 an das Kabelabschlussgestell 4 und damit an die Außenanlage 5 kann im letzten Schritt 5 der Rückbau der nicht mehr benötigten alten Stellwerksanlage erfolgen. In dem ersten Stellwerk 1 müssen folgende Funktionen vorhanden sein oder implementiert werden: Interlockings 1 and 2 are interlinked for data exchange. In step 3, the operator station 9 or 11 is connected to the new interlocking 2, wherein the old control parts 3 are still controlled by the now actively switched new interlocking 2 via the data connection between the interlockings 1 and 2. The old actuators 3 are successively replaced in step 4 by the same field element driving new actuators 10. After successful verification of all security-relevant software and hardware components and complete connection of all new controls 10 to the cable termination frame 4 and thus to the outdoor unit 5 can be done in the last step 5, the dismantling of the old interlocking system no longer needed. In the first interlocking 1, the following functions must be present or implemented:

- Weiterleiten der Informationen der Außenanlage 5 an das zweite Stellwerk 2 für Schritt 2,  - forwarding the information of the outdoor facility 5 to the second signal box 2 for step 2,

- Weiterleiten der Stellbefehle des zweiten Stellwerks 2 an die Außenanlage 5 aufgrund der Telegramminformation des zweiten Stellwerks 2 und Unterdrückung der Stellbe¬ fehle des ersten Stellwerks 1 für Schritt 3 und - Forwarding the control commands of the second interlocking 2 to the outdoor unit 5 due to the message information of the second interlocking 2 and suppression of Stellbe ¬ lack of the first interlocking 1 for step 3 and

- Umschaltmöglichkeit der Datenübertragung zwischen den beiden Stellwerken 1 und 2 bezüglich Melderichtung und - Switching possibility of data transmission between the two signal boxes 1 and 2 with respect to the direction of detection and

Kommandorichtung für Schritt 4. Command direction for step 4.

Das im Zusammenhang mit Figur 1 kurz umrissene Verfahren ermöglicht erstmalig einen Stellwerksaustausch unter rollendem Rad, das heißt ohne die Notwendigkeit größerer Betriebspausen beziehungsweise Unterbrechungen des Zugverkehrs. The briefly outlined in connection with Figure 1 method allows for the first time a interlocking system under rolling wheel, that is without the need for major breaks or interruptions of train traffic.

Die einzelnen Schritte 1 bis 5 werden nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 2 bis 9 näher beschrieben. The individual steps 1 to 5 will be described in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 9.

Ausgehend von dem in Figur 2 veranschaulichten Ausgangszustand wird in Schritt 1 zunächst das zweite Stellwerk 2 ohne Anbindung an die Außenanlage 5 aufgebaut, wie Figur 3 zeigt. Alle Komponenten des neuen Stellwerks 2 werden installiert und an die Stromversorgung angeschlossen. Das betrifft insbesondere das Stellwerk 2 und dessen Stellteile 10 sowie gege¬ benenfalls den neuen Bedienplatz 11. Die Art der zu verwendenden Stellteile 10 ergibt sich aus den in Schritt 4 anzu¬ schließenden Feldelementen der Außenanlage 5. Starting from the initial state illustrated in FIG. 2, the second interlocking 2 is initially set up in step 1 without connection to the outside installation 5, as FIG. 3 shows. All components of the new interlocking 2 are installed and connected to the power supply. This concerns in particular the interlocking 2 and the actuators 10 and gege ¬ appropriate, the new workstation 11. The type to be used actuators 10 results from the verify in step 4 ¬ closing array elements the outside in Appendix 5.

Figur 4 veranschaulicht Schritt 2, bei dem das zweite Stell¬ werk 2 an das zu ersetzende erste Stellwerk 1 für einen bestimmten Zeitrahmen angekoppelt wird. Dazu dient eine in Fi¬ gur 5 dargestellte einkanalig sichere Datenübertragung 12 zwischen Datenbusanschlüssen 13a und 13b der beiden Stellwerke 1 und 2. Innerhalb der Datenbusschnittstelle 13a/13b, zum Beispiel einer Ethernet-Schnittstelle werden Telegramme, bei¬ spielsweise mittels SAHARA oder UDP/IP ausgetauscht. Das ers- te Stellwerk 1 stellt dabei alle notwendigen Informationen bezüglich der Außenanlage 5 zur Verfügung. FIG. 4 illustrates step 2, in which the second actuating mechanism 2 is coupled to the first signal box 1 to be replaced for a specific time frame. Serves one shown in Fi ¬ gur 5 single-channel safe data transmission 12 between data bus terminals 13a and 13b of two interlocking systems 1 and 2. Within the data bus 13a / 13b, for example an Ethernet interface telegrams at ¬ play by means SAHARA or UDP / IP replaced. The first te signal box 1 provides all necessary information regarding the outdoor facility 5 available.

In Schritt 2 werden nur Telegramme in Melderichtung an das zweite Stellwerk 2 gesendet. Das erste Stellwerk 1 steuert weiterhin die Außenanlage 5 über seine Stellwerkslogik. Das zweite Stellwerk 2 hat in diesem Schritt noch keine Steue¬ rungsfunktion. Die Datenbusverbindung ermöglicht aber die Kommunikation zwischen den Stellwerken 1 und 2 bis zu dem Be- dienplatz 9 zwecks Funktionsprüfung. In step 2, only telegrams are sent to the second signal box 2 in the direction of detection. The first signal box 1 also controls the outdoor unit 5 via its interlocking logic. The second signal box 2 has at this stage no Steue ¬ insurance function. However, the data bus connection allows the communication between the signal boxes 1 and 2 up to the control panel 9 for the purpose of functional testing.

Der dritte Schritt, die Inbetriebnahme des zweiten Stellwer¬ kes 2, ist in Figur 6 dargestellt. Das zweite Stellwerk 2 wird über den neuen Bedienplatz 11 angeschaltet. Alternativ kann auch der vorhandene Bedienplatz 9 benutzt werden, wenn dies technisch möglich ist. Die gestrichelte Verbindung 14 zeigt diese Alternativanschaltung . Über die Datenbusschnitt¬ stelle 13a/13b wird dem ersten Stellwerk 1 die Einschaltung des zweiten Stellwerkes 2 bekannt gegeben. Das erste Stell- werk 1 empfängt nun die Stellbefehle an seine Stellteile 3 über die Datenbusschnittstelle 13a/13b vom zweiten Stellwerk 2. Ist die Umschaltung erfolgt, darf das erste Stellwerk 1 nicht mehr die Stellteile 3 über seine Stellwerkslogik beeinflussen. Innerhalb des ersten Stellwerkes 1 müssen die von dem zweiten Stellwerk 2 übertragenen Stellbefehle zur An- steuerung der Stellteile 3 umgesetzt werden. Diese Funktionen müssen in dem ersten Stellwerk 1 vorhanden sein oder implementiert werden. Die Verbindung des alten Stellwerkes 1 zu dessen Bedienplatz 9 bleibt noch bestehen, damit das erste Stellwerk 1 weiterhin im Falle einer Rückschaltung bedient werden kann. The third step, the commissioning of the second Stellwer ¬ kes 2, is shown in Figure 6. The second signal box 2 is switched on via the new operator station 11. Alternatively, the existing operator station 9 can be used if this is technically possible. The dashed connection 14 shows this alternative connection. About the Datenbusschnitt ¬ point 13a / 13b the first interlocking 1, the activation of the second interlocking 2 is announced. The first interlocking 1 now receives the control commands to its control elements 3 via the data bus interface 13a / 13b from the second interlocking 2. If the switchover takes place, the first interlocking 1 is no longer allowed to influence the control elements 3 via its interlocking logic. Within the first signal box 1, the control commands transmitted by the second signal box 2 for controlling the control elements 3 must be implemented. These functions must be present or implemented in the first interlocking 1. The connection of the old signal box 1 to its operator station 9 still remains, so that the first signal box 1 can continue to be operated in the event of a downshift.

In Schritt 3 übernimmt das zweite Stellwerk 2 die Steuerung der Außenanlage 5 über das erste Stellwerk 1. Dabei kann das zweite Stellwerk 2 hinsichtlich seiner Funktionsfähigkeit überprüft und abgenommen werden. Bei einem Fehlverhalten kann zu jeder Zeit wieder auf das erste Stellwerk 1 zurückgeschal¬ tet werden. Durch die Überprüfung und durch Testroutinen kön- nen die betrieblichen Belange und Projektierungen zur An- steuerung der Außenanlage 5 sichergestellt werden. Auf diese Weise müssen anschließend nur noch die zweiten Stellteile 10 und deren Kabelverbindungen geprüft werden. In step 3, the second interlocking 2 takes over the control of the outdoor unit 5 via the first interlocking 1. Here, the second interlocking 2 can be checked and removed in terms of its functionality. For any misconduct can be zurückgeschal ¬ tet at any time back to the first interlocking first Through checking and through test routines, the operational interests and project planning for the control of the outdoor facility 5 are ensured. In this way, then only the second actuators 10 and their cable connections must be checked.

Figur 7 veranschaulicht Schritt 4, nämlich die schrittweise Umschaltung der Außenanlage 5 vom ersten Stellwerk 1 auf das zweite Stellwerk 2. Dabei wird die Verbindung zu den Feldele¬ menten der Außenanlage sukzessive von dem ersten Stellwerk 1 getrennt und mit dem zugehörigen Stellteil 10 des zweitenFigure 7 illustrates step 4, namely the gradual switching of the outdoor area 5 from the first switchboard 1 to the second interlocking 2. In this case, the connection to the Feldele ¬ elements of the external system is successively separated from the first interlocking 1 and to the associated operating element 10 of the second

Stellwerkes 2 verbunden. Dieser Verbindungsabbau und Neuauf¬ bau der Verbindung erfolgt an dem Kabelabschlussgestell 4. Damit werden nach und nach alle Feldelemente über die zweiten Stellteile 10 des zweiten Stellwerkes 2 angesteuert. Die Prü- fung und die Abnahme der korrekten Funktion des jeweiligen Stellteiles 10 in Verbindung mit der Außenanlage 5, bei¬ spielsweise die Zuordnungsprüfung, erfolgt für jedes einzelne Feldelement separat. Eventuelle Zuordnungsfehler wirken sich nur geringfügig aus, da diese nur ein spezielles Feldelement betreffen. Die hierdurch verursachte Betriebshemmung ist entsprechend lokal begrenzt. Vorteilhaft ist darüber hinaus, dass die sukzessive Umschaltung der Ansteuerung der Feldelemente von den alten Stellteilen 3 auf die neuen Stellteile 10 sehr leicht an betriebliche Gegebenheiten, beispielsweise Be- triebspausen, anpassbar ist. Signal box 2 connected. This connection degradation and re ¬ construction of the connection takes place on the cable end frame 4. Thus, all field elements are controlled via the second control parts 10 of the second interlocking 2 gradually. The audit and the decrease of the correct function of the respective setting member 10 in communication with the outside plant 5, wherein ¬ play, the assignment check is made for each individual array element separately. Possible allocation errors have only a minor effect, as they only affect a specific field element. The resulting inhibition of operation is correspondingly limited locally. It is also advantageous that the successive switching of the control of the field elements from the old control elements 3 to the new control elements 10 is very easily adaptable to operational conditions, for example service pauses.

Die noch nicht umgeschalteten Feldelemente werden weiter durch die Stellteile 3 des ersten Stellwerkes 1 angesteuert und melden ihre Zustände über die Datenschnittstelle 13a/13b gemäß Schritt 2 an das zweite Stellwerk 2. Die vorhandene Au¬ ßenverkabelung kann unverändert beibehalten werden. In der Umschaltphase ist eine Ansteuerung der Außenanlage 5 durch die Stellwerkslogik oder den Bedienplatz 9 des alten Stellwerkes 1 nicht mehr möglich, weil nicht mehr alle Feldelemen- te über das alte Stellwerk 1 erreicht werden können. Wenn die Umschaltung aller Feldelemente auf das neue Stellwerk 2 erfolgt ist, dient das alte Stellwerk 1 nur noch als Verbin¬ dungsweg zu der Außenanlage 5. Der Rückbau des ersten Stellwerkes 1 erfolgt in Schritt 5 und ist in Figur 8 veranschaulicht. Sind alle Außenanlagenkompo- nenten über die zweiten Stellteile 10 an das zweite Stellwerk 2 angeschlossen und abgenommen, können das alte Stellwerk 1, dessen Stellteile 3 sowie ein nicht mehr benötigter Bedienplatz 9 abgebaut werden. The not yet switched field elements are further controlled by the control parts 3 of the first interlocking 1 and report their states via the data interface 13a / 13b according to step 2 to the second interlocking 2. The existing Au ¬ ßenverkabelung can be maintained unchanged. In the switching phase, a control of the outdoor unit 5 by the interlocking logic or the operator station 9 of the old interlocking 1 is no longer possible because not all field elements can be reached via the old interlocking 1. If the switchover of all field elements is done on the new signal box 2, the old interlocking 1 only serves as a connec ¬ tion path to the outdoor unit. 5 The dismantling of the first signal box 1 takes place in step 5 and is illustrated in FIG. If all outdoor equipment components are connected and removed via the second control units 10 to the second interlocking 2, the old interlocking 1, its control units 3 and a no longer required operating station 9 can be reduced.

Der Endzustand nach dem Abbau ist in Figur 9 dargestellt. Es ist ersichtlich, dass das zweite Stellwerk 2 zusammen mit den zweiten Stellteilen 10 und einem neuen Bedienplatz 12 nunmehr die Außenanlage 5 steuert. The final state after the degradation is shown in FIG. It can be seen that the second signal box 2, together with the second control units 10 and a new operator station 12, now controls the outdoor unit 5.
