1 Scope
This Technical Report is covering the description of the pantograph system and the functional
interface between the pantograph system itself and the TCMS, including the context of multiple units.
The pantograph system contains the pantograph and the pantograph control. The internal interface
between pantograph and pantograph control is not in the scope of this document.

4 Pantograph reference architecture
The pantograph reference architecture is shown in Figure 1.
The pantograph system has a network interface with the TCMS for the purpose of control and
monitoring, as well as for service and diagnostics. This document describes the interface between
TCMS and one single Pantograph system with regard to the context of multiple units.

Figure 1 - pantograph system and TCMS interface
In addition to the pantograph control reference overview, as it is described in the subsequent clauses,
the scope of this FIS for controlling a pantograph is shown in Figure 2. It is to be noted that PBS 4.1.1
is the reference to the original MODTRAIN document from which this document is derived and PBS
9.2 is the reference to the original MODTRAIN document describing TCMS.

5 Functional description
5.1 General
In this clause are described the pantograph functions external to the TCMS, which exchange
information with the TCMS over the interface.
The here described interface is a basic standard interface with possibilities of extension (parameters
and services can be added).
If not especially mentioned for each parameter a Set and a Get service is provided.
The function types which are considered are the following:
• Functions for parameterisation
• Functions for control
• Functions for monitoring
• Functions for diagnostics
• Functions for service
5.2 Specific requirements on functional interfaces
If deemed useful, the static description of data are completed by:
• Dynamic description, with sequence diagrams, possibly using several interfaces identified in
the reference architecture, for normal and degraded modes. These diagrams may contains
timing requirements (such as time between the command set to TCMS and notification to
remote actuators)
• RAMS requirements to the communication and processing in the TCMS
• Any other relevant item
• The physical layer shall be defined later
5.3 Interface between pantograph and TCMS
5.3.1 General
Figure 3 shows the UML diagram of the TCMS control interface related to the pantograph system.

Figure 4 shows the UML diagram of the diagnostic common interface between the pantograph and
TCMS.
