Abstract

An interlocking for a railway comprises a plurality of integrated circuit processor units which perform the logic operations associated with specific line side equipment. A first interface (24) is provided for communication with a central control and a second interface for communication with the equipment (36). The second interface may comprise an input/output interface to/from the trackside equipment. The trackside equipment may include signals, track circuits, crossovers and points. The interlocking may also comprise an interface allowing the control system to communicate with one or more buses (22) within the interlocking, the buses also being in communication with the processor units. Preferably the buses are arranged as duplicated first and second buses for safety data with a third bus for non safety data. The interlocking may also comprise first and second processing units performing duplicated processing operations. A configuration processor may also be provided in order to configure each processor unit. The configuration processor may be located with the processing units in a rack, the units being configured according to their position in the rack.
