Digital Interlocking System – ILOCK/RC

LEGACY INTERLOCKING SYSTEMS versus DIGITAL INTERLOCKING SYSTEMS

LEGACY systems usually consist of:

.) Special hardware developed by the supplier – fixed configuration
.) Special monolithic software – usually not easily reusable
.) Mostly not network-based communication
.) No independent interfaces
.) Kilometers and miles of copper cable from station to switch/signal

–> TYPICALLY MANUFACTURER-DEPENDENT VENDORLOCKED

MODERN RAILWAY APPLICATIONS/SYSTEMS consist of (BEST CASE):
.) Common of the Shelf (COTS) hardware – MODULE based
.) Reusable, secure and modular software
.) Secure and reliable network-based communication
.) Specified – “open” – or at least generally available interfaces

Our SIL4 certified interlocking therefore follows the motto – The network with all objects is the interlocking!
Our interlocking is based on COTS components.
