What is BS EN 61375-2-1 - Wire train bus (WTB) about?
BS EN 61375 is a European standard that discusses train communication networks (TCN) for electronic railway equipment. BS EN 61375-2-1 is the first subpart of the second part of a multi-part series that applies to data communication in Open Trains, I.e. it covers data communication between consists of the said open trains and data communication within the said open trains to ensure proper protocols and network management for wire train buses (WTB).
The applicability of BS EN 61375-2-1 to the train communication bus (WTB) allows for interoperability of individual consists within Open Trains in international traffic.
The data communication bus inside consists of (e.g., MVB) is given as recommended solution to cope with the said TCN. In any case, proof of compatibility between WTB and a proposed consist network will have to be brought by the supplier.
BS EN 61375-2-1 may additionally apply to closed trains and multiple-unit trains when so agreed between purchaser and supplier.
Note: Road vehicles such as buses and trolleybuses are not considered under BS EN 61375-2-1.
Who is BS EN 61375-2-1 - Wire train bus (WTB) for?
BS EN 61375-2-1 on wire train bus (WTB) is useful for:
- Manufacturers of wire train bus
- Test centres
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 61375-2-1 - Wire train bus (WTB)?
Wire train bus (WTB) in the train communication network (TCN) offers a common Network Management, that allows debugging, commissioning, and maintenance over the network.
BS EN 61375-2-1 guideline assists you with conventions, general considerations, conformance test, physical layer, topology, medium specifications, medium attachment, node specifications, line unit specifications, transceiver specifications, medium-dependent signalling, link layer control, frames, telegrams, protocols, real-time protocols, application layer, and train network management for wire train bus (WTB).
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 61375-2-1, you can standardize the wire train bus (WTB) that features real-time protocols, a real-time database, communicates messages, etc.
