What is BS EN 61375-3-3 - CANopen Consist Network (CCN) about?
BS EN 61375 is a European standard that discusses train communication networks for electronic railway equipment (TCN). BS EN 61375-3-3 is the third subpart of the third part of a multi-part series that layouts the data communication bus inside consists that are based on CANopen. CANopen was developed for use in but is not limited to, industrial automation applications.
These applications may include devices such as input/output modules, motion controllers, human-machine interfaces, sensors, closed-loop controllers, encoders, hydraulic valves, or programmable controllers.
BS EN 61375-3-3 applies to all equipment and devices operating on a CANopen-based consist network within TCN architecture as described in IEC 61375-1.
BS EN 61375-3-3 also applies to the architecture of communication systems in Open trains.
In addition, it may apply to closed trains and multiple-unit trains when so agreed between purchaser and supplier.
Who is BS EN 61375-3-3 - CANopen Consist Network (CCN)for?
BS EN 61375-3-3 on CANopen Consist Network (CCN) is useful for:
- Developers of CANopen Consist Network (CCN)
- Test centres
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 61375-3-3 - CANopen Consist Network (CCN)?
In the application field of rail vehicles, CANopen networks are utilized to network subsystems in consists such as brake control systems, diesel engine control systems, and interior or exterior lighting control systems. In addition, CANopen is utilized as consist network to enable the data exchange between the different subsystems within one single rail vehicle or a group of rail vehicles sharing the same Consist Network.
BS EN 61375-3-3 guideline assists you with architecture, physical layer, data link layer, CANopen application layer, application data, CANopen network management, gateway functions, train network management, CANopen management message data handling, and conformance testing for CANopen Consist Network (CCN) for train communication network (TNC).
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 61375-3-3, you can standardise the CANopen Consist Network (CCN) for train communication network (TNC). In addition, enables the data exchange between the different subsystems.
