EN 61375-3-4:2014

Electronic railway equipment - Train communication network (TCN) - Part 3-4: Ethernet Consist Network (ECN)

IEC 61375-3-4:2014 specifies the data communication network inside a Consist based on Ethernet technology, the Ethernet Consist Network (ECN). The applicability of this part of IEC 61375 to the Consist Network allows for interoperability of individual vehicles within Open Trains in international traffic. This part of IEC 61375 may be additionally applicable to closed trains and Multiple Unit Trains when so agreed between purchaser and supplier.

Matériel électronique ferroviaire - Réseau embarqué de train (TCN) - Partie 3-4: Réseau Ethernet de Rame (ECN)

L'IEC 61375-3-4:2014 spécifie le réseau de communication de données au sein d'une Rame fondée sur la technologie Ethernet, le Réseau Ethernet de Rame (ECN). L'applicabilité de la présente partie de l'IEC 61375 au Réseau Ethernet de Rame permet l'interopérabilité de chaque rame des Trains à rames multiples dans le trafic international. Après accord entre acheteur et fournisseur, la présente partie de l'IEC 61375 peut s'appliquer en outre aux Rames et aux Trains à rames multiples.

Železniške elektronske naprave - Komunikacijsko omrežje vlaka - 3-4. del: Sestava omrežja Ethernet (ECN)

EN IEC 61375-3-4 določa komunikacijska podatkovna omrežja v sestavi omrežja, ki temelji na tehnologiji Ethernet, tj. sestava omrežja Ethernet (ECN). Uporaba tega dela standarda IEC 61375 za sestavo omrežja Ethernet omogoča interoperabilnost posameznih vozil odprtih vlakov v mednarodnem prometu. Ta del standarda IEC 61375 se lahko uporablja tudi za zaprte vlake in vlake z večdelnimi enotami, če se o tem dogovorita kupec in dobavitelj.
