What is BS EN 61375-2-2 - Wire train bus conformance testing about?
BS EN 61375 is a European standard that discusses train communication networks (TCN) for electronic railway equipment. BS EN 61375-2-2 is the second subpart of the second part of a multi-part series that applies to all equipment and devices implemented according to IEC 61375-2-1 I.e., it covers the procedures to be applied to such equipment and devices when the conformance should be proven to ensure that a wire train bus meets a defined set of standards and proper protocols.
The applicability of BS EN 61375-2-2 to a TCN implementation allows for individual conformance checking of the implementation itself and is a pre-requisite for further interoperability checking between different TCN implementations.
Note: No other busses are taken into consideration even though they are foreseen by IEC 61375.
Who is BS EN 61375-2-2 - Wire train bus conformance testing for?
BS EN 61375-2-2 on wire train bus conformance testing is useful for:
- Wire train bus manufacturers
- Test centres
- Railway authorities
Why should you use BS EN 61375-2-2 - Wire train bus conformance testing?
Wire train bus (WTB) in the train communication network (TCN) offers common network management, that allows debugging, commissioning, and maintenance over the network.
Wire train bus conformance testing ensures that a wire train bus meets a defined set of standards.
BS EN 61375-2-2 provides you with a conformance test approach, requirements, boundaries and conformance assessment process outline for assisting in conformance testing of the wire train bus.
BS EN 61375-2-2 also provides a conformance test of a wire train bus node, wire train bus trunk cable, wire train bus jumper cables, wire train bus extension cables, conformance test of real-time protocols, conformance test of a wire train bus-equipped consist, and conformance test of train network management.
This assists in standardizing and ensuring interoperability among various implementations.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 61375-2-2, you can improve the efficacy and standardize the performance of the wire train bus.
