DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention. The merging apparatus 1 includes an input unit 2 that inputs a signal from a lead-in line of another knitting, and an output unit 3 that outputs a signal to the other knitting line from the lead-in line.
[0014]
The information control device 4 performs transmission between vehicles. The remote I / O device 5 inputs a signal from the lead-in wire of the other organization input at the input unit 2 of the merging device 1 and transmits the signal to the information control device 4 via the serial transmission path 6. Is output to each device and also to the output unit 3 of the merging apparatus 1. The inter-vehicle transmission path 7 is responsible for signal transmission between the information control devices 4. In addition, 8 is a master computer for inputting a command operated by the driver, 9 is a brake device, and 10 is a main converter.
[0015]
Next, the operation of the railway vehicle merging apparatus according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The train organization shown in FIG. 1 is a train that transmits command transmission by serial transmission via the information control device 4, and other trains that perform such a train organization by passing a command signal through a passing line. The case of merging with knitting will be described.
[0016]
First, an operation in the case where the train organization of FIG. 1 is run without being combined with other trains is shown. When traveling alone without combining the train formation of the configuration of FIG. 1, the driver operates the mascon 8 provided in the cab of the formation. In the mascon 8, a command signal is determined from the operation of the driver and is output to the remote IO device 5. In the remote IO device 5, the signal input from the master computer 8 is transmitted to the information control device 4 via the serial transmission path 6.

Next, an operation when such a vehicle is merged with another knitting that transmits a command signal through the lead-in line will be described. In the case of merging with train formation in which a command signal is transferred through a lead-through line, since the transmission medium of the command signal is different, it is not possible to directly transfer the signals by connecting the respective formations. Therefore, the command signal operated by the master controller of the other organization is once input to the input unit 2 of the merging apparatus 1. And the command signal from the other knitting input at the input unit 2 of the merging apparatus 1 is input to the remote IO device connected to the master controller 8 in the own knitting.

A switching switch 12 is provided in the input unit 2 of the merging apparatus 1 so that the signal from the other knitting is guided to the remote IO device 5 or the lead-in line 11 depending on the state of the equipment in the own knitting. Yes.
[0023]
When the other knitting that passes the command signal through the lead-in line is connected before and after the self-knitting that transfers the command signal by transmission, the command signal from one other knitting is normally the information control device within the self-knitting 4 and 4 and the transmission line 7 between the vehicles and the other other trains are transmitted from the information control device 4 through the remote IO device 5 and the output unit 3 of the merging device 1.
[0024]
However, with such a configuration, when the information control device 4 or the like becomes inoperable due to an abnormality, the command signal from the other knitting is not transmitted to the other knitting. Therefore, in the second embodiment, a lead-through line 11 for connecting the merging devices 1 and 1 before and after the self-organization is provided, and provided in the merging device 1 when the information control device 4 in the self-organization stops. Is changed from the process of taking in from the remote IO device 5 connected to the input unit 2 of the merging apparatus 1 by the changeover switch 12 so that it is taken in to the lead-in line 11, and the command signal is transferred without going through the information control apparatus 4 or the like It was made to do.
[0025]
As a result, when the information control device 4 or the like becomes inoperable due to an abnormality, the command signal is sent from one other knitting to the other knitting without the information control device 4 or the like in the own knitting. Delivery can be performed, and the reliability of signal transmission is improved.
[0026]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Also in FIG. 3, the same devices as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The third embodiment is characterized in that an abnormality signal path 13 for outputting an abnormality of the information control apparatus 4 to the merging apparatus 1 is provided.
[0027]
