Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for the fail-safe supply of an electrical load with a redundant power bus.
  • Such decentralized functional units are used in particular in rail transport networks such as the railroad, where they are used to control vehicle influencing and / or vehicle monitoring units and to monitor functionality and to record process data and back to a central control and / or Monitoring center, such as a control center or a signal box, to report.
  • a central control and / or Monitoring center such as a control center or a signal box
  • As Switzerlandbeeinu units that give instructions to the driver or even make direct intervention in the vehicle control or directly set a safe track for example, signals, points, balises, line conductors, track magnets and the like, as well as sensors for detecting process variables of the moving train, such as power consumption, speed and the like.
  • train and track section monitoring units can also balise and line conductors, but also axle and track circuits and other train detection systems are called.
  • the present invention relates to all industrial plants in which functional units are distributed over long distances and yet must be centrally controlled.
  • the central controller can be perceived by a stationary control center, but also by
  • a digital data transport network can be used for the coupling of the decentralized functional units, which is robust in any way against a simple error event, yet a very clever use of very widely used in railway engineering Cu cables, for example, previously existing interlocking cables allowed and finally only a comparatively small number of network access points needed.
  • Such a device is used in a particularly advantageous manner for a rail network for rail transport. Consequently, it is then expedient, by means of the decentralized functional units traffic-monitoring and traffic-controlling Functional units, such as in particular signals, switches, axle counters, track circuits, point and line train control elements to couple to the data transport network.
  • traffic-monitoring and traffic-controlling Functional units such as in particular signals, switches, axle counters, track circuits, point and line train control elements to couple to the data transport network.
  • the decentralized functional units also known as element controllers or EC for short
  • EC element controllers
  • SNDs bus couplers
  • the SNDs can interrupt or bypass the power bus, as well as measure currents and voltages in the power bus.
  • This decoupling with the necessary shutdown functions is taken over by the network node units.
  • the network node unit in order to be able to master all possible error cases (overload in a segment of the power bus or to a consumer), the network node unit has controllable switches around the power bus to the left, to the right and to the To interrupt consumers.
  • Such a equipped network node unit is for example in the above-mentioned European patent application EP 3 109 128 A1 described in detail.
  • this network node unit is a single non-redundant element in the power supply chain up to the decentralized functional unit.
  • An obvious solution would be the insertion of a second redundant network node unit, which, however, is considered disadvantageous for cost and maintenance reasons.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a system for fail-safe supply of an electrical load with a redundant running power bus, in which even the failure of a network node unit does not cause a decentralized functional units is completely decoupled from the supply of electrical energy.
  • a failure of the network node unit thus no longer has a negative impact on the availability of the decentralized functional unit coupling to it.
  • the first switch and the second switch each comprise two counter-switched in the respective bus core field effect transistors whose gate electrodes are controlled by the control unit.
  • a branch provided between the field-effect transistors from the respective bus core to the decentralized functional unit can thus be connected to each of the two supply sides by the corresponding wiring of the respective gate electrode (s) and also selectively separated.
  • the switching groups may each comprise a field-effect transistor whose gate electrode is at the potential of the control output.
  • the potential applied to the control output it is possible to intentionally disconnect the decentralized functional unit from one of the two or both feed sides of one of the bus wires.
  • control output can be controlled by an FPGA, which is preferably a component of the control unit.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows an interlocking architecture with a system Sys, which has, inter alia, a signal box STW, a redunant built data backbone NB1, NB2, a data bus CB and an energy bus EB with two feed points PS1 and PS2.
  • the interlocking STW controls a train traffic on a track section G, in which signals S, points W, a level crossing Bue and axle counter AC are arranged.
  • These train protection and train control components each couple to a decentralized functional unit - also called element controller unit E - on the data bus CB and the power bus EB.
  • the decentralized functional units E are connected to the annular data bus CB in such a way that either access to the data backbone NB1 or NB2 is given via each side of the annular data bus CB.
  • the data bus CB coupled with corresponding routers / switches SW to the respective data backbone NB1, NB2.
  • the sequential connection of the Element Controller Unit E to the annular power bus ensures that each Element Controller Unit E can be supplied redundantly with electrical energy from both sides.
  • FIG. 2 now shows schematically the data and power supply connection of the Element Controller Unit E of a train control component, here for example a switch W, to the data bus CB and the power bus EB.
  • a train control component here for example a switch W
  • Such an attachment point comprises a network node unit SND and the actual element controller EC.
  • the network node unit SND comprises a communication unit SCU for data exchange over both branches of the data bus CB.
  • the network node unit SND is designed so that it couples to both branches of the power bus EB and thus always, if necessary, across other network node units SND away - an access to both feed points PS1 and PS2 consists (as in FIG. 1 shown).
  • the network node unit SND further has a control and evaluation logic SL, which can be integrated, for example, in the switching module S, and thus controls and monitors the power bus EB.
  • the control and evaluation logic detects current violations and / or voltage dips within the power bus EB and / or the connected consumer (SPU with EC) and evaluates this data for a possibly present short circuit.
  • the network node unit is always supplied in redundant manner from two sides with electrical energy and therefore has in the context of a switching module S via a left switch S1 and a right switch S2 and a load switch S3 to the supply unit SPU of the element controller EC.
  • the network node unit SND also supplies the communication unit SCU with voltage and can also exchange data with it via an Ethernet connection and is thus integrated in the data bus CB (eg activation of manual operation of the SND via remote access and actuation of the switches S1 to S3, delivery of diagnostic data to the interlocking or a higher-level service and Diagnosesytem, query the current voltages, currents, energy and power values, parameterization of the SND, data for charging a not further illustrated energy storage or the registration of future power requirements).
  • the supply unit SPU is integrated via the switch S3, which converts the voltage of the power bus EB to the input voltage required for the element controller EC.
  • a data connection between the switching module S of the network node unit SND and the supply unit SPU, for example in the form of a serial RS 422 or Ethernet, is provided.
  • Energy-technically typical here is, for example, a three-phase connection with 400 VAC.
  • the element controller EC controls and supplies in FIG. 2
  • the switch W receives the element controller EC data telegrams from a higher-level interlocking CPU via an Ethernet connection from the communication unit SCU and are via this communication unit SCU feedback to the interlocking computer CPU.
  • the interlocking computer CPU can also represent a corresponding evaluation module that evaluates the received data as intended.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows an alternative embodiment for the wiring of the switching module S of any network node unit SND.
  • the switching module S comprises the first switch S1 and the second switch S2, the present case in each case two in the respective bus core bus +, bus counter-switched field effect transistors T1, T2, T3, T4 whose gate electrodes can be controlled by the control unit (not shown here), which is indicated by arrows 30.
  • the energy bus can be selectively interrupted (eg for the isolation / disconnection of defective sections).
  • diodes D1 to D4 are provided. The in FIG.
  • switch S3 has now been divided into two on the negative bus core bus- coupling switches S3 and S4, with which the functional unit E can selectively turn on only the power bus EB left or right, if this is separated by means of switch S1 and switch S2.
  • These switches are also field-effect transistors T5, T6.
  • a resistance module RG1, RG2 which is provided between the positive core bus + and the negative wire bus of the power bus EB, is now arranged.
  • the output A1, A2 of this resistor group RG1, RG2 is respectively connected to the gate electrode of the switches S3, S4.
  • the resistor assembly RG1, RG2 here dimensioned / set so that the switches S3, S4 are conductive in the presence of the bus voltage.
  • a control output ST1, ST2 (for example, coming from a FPGA of the control unit) connected to the manipulated by the resistor assembly RG1, RG2 output voltage can be manipulated to, for example, the switches S3 and S4 to open.
  • the control output ST1, ST2 does not necessarily change the parameterization of the resistor group RG1, RG2 (one could also set up the device so that this would be possible), but draws, for example, the output voltage provided by the resistor group to the value NULL.
  • the decentralized functional units E remain connected to the power bus EB even if the switching functions of the switches S1 and S2 or the control mechanisms / logic should fail. Due to the drop across the resistor assemblies RG1, RG2 voltage between the positive wire Bus + and the negative wire bus of the power bus EB is in the presence of the bus voltage on at least one of the two sides so always a voltage available that switches the switches S3, S4 and Thus, the decentralized functional unit E always connects to the two wires Bus +, bus- of the feed bus EB. A failure of the network node unit SND thus no longer has a negative impact on the availability of the decentralized functional unit E.
