Electronic railway equipment - Train communication network (TCN) - Part 2-3: TCN communication profile

IEC 61375-2-3:2015 specifies rules for the data exchange between consists in trains. The aggregation of these rules defines the TCN communication profile. The objective of the communication profile is to ensure interoperability between consists of the said trains with respect to the exchange of information. For this purpose it defines all items which are necessary for communication interoperability:
- an architecture with defined train directions related to different train views;
- a common functional addressing concept;
- common communication protocol for data exchange between functions;
- a set of services for train communication control. The contents of the corrigendum of December 2015 and October 2016 have been included in this copy.

Matériel électronique ferroviaire - Réseau embarqué de train (TCN) - Partie 2-3: Profil de communication TCN

l'IEC 61375-2-3:2015 spécifie les règles relatives à l'échange de données entre les rames de trains. L'agrégation de ces règles définit le profil de communication TCN. L'objectif du profil de communication est d'assurer l'interopérabilité entre les rames desdits trains du point de vue de l'échange d'informations. Pour cela, il définit l'ensemble des éléments nécessaires à l'interopérabilité de communication:
- une architecture, avec des directions de train définies relatives à différentes vues du train;
- un concept d'adressage fonctionnel commun;
- un protocole de communication commun pour l'échange des données entre les fonctions;
- un ensemble de services pour le contrôle des communications de trains.
Le contenu des corrigenda de décembre 2015 et d'octobre 2016 a été inclus dans cette version.
