Railway applications - Safety protocols for signaling applications - Part 1: Generic aspects of safety related transmission protocols
Abstract
This document shall provide additional information concerning safe data transmission communication protocols in accordance with IEC 62280. This document shall be applicable for safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable electronic systems (E/E/PES including sub-systems and components) for railway signal applications. This document does not apply to safety protocols inside on-board train communication networks. This document is not in contradiction with the horizontal standards on OT-Security / Cybersecurity. This document provides information concerning safe data transmission protocols to support a decision for the use of one safety protocol out of a defined set for a given application. The document shall introduce the other three parts of the planned document containing the specifications of safety protocols. This includes commons and differences in the functionality and the expected surroundings.
