Type of Trains
WG22 distinguishes two main kinds of trains: Open Trains Example: international passenger trains.
composed of vehicles frequently coupled and uncoupled in operation train bus is automatically reconfigured during revenue service
FS
DB
SNCF
Closed Train Sets
Example: TGV, ICE, Metro, Suburban trains.
composed of vehicles not separable in operation. train bus is configured off-line by driver or in the works

Technical Requirements (1989..today)

Topology Span Medium Operation Traffic Two-level hierarchy: Train bus connecting Vehicle Busses. Train bus: 850 m (1000m) , 32 nodes. Vehicle bus: 200 m, 32 stations, 256 simple devices. Twisted wire pair or optical fiber (no coax). A version of the train bus shall use the existing UIC or EP lines. Train bus: automatic configuration of the train bus in less than 1 second, with left-right identification. time-critical, short process data (traction control, train control,...) transmited periodically with a deterministic delay of <100 ms from end to end of the train bus, resp. <50 ms on the vehicle bus. less time-critical messages (diagnostic, passenger information,...) transmitted on demand with reliable flow control and error recovery from end to end. Reliability Comply with railways environment, especially IEC 571. Redundant configuration possible to increase availability. 7

Use of Commercial Networks

Theory: Use of commercially widely available components and software reduce development costs and guarantee long-term availability Reality: There are not many railways-graded network components on the market.
Commercial components must be customized to the application.

Large volume sellers have little concern for the small railways market Companies in the computer business are less stable than railways firms. Life-time is 5 years for commercial components, 15 years for industrial products, but 30 years for railways - what about the last 15 years ? Therefore: WG22 decided to select only busses which have been railways-proven and which are supported by in-house manufacturing capability. IEC Train Communication Network

Evaluation Results Evaluated busses: BRELNET, CD450, DIN 43322, Profibus, Modiac, IEC Field bus, Tornad, Tornad*, FIP, Factor, Arlic, Ekenet, Bitbus, CAN, ARINC 1553, MICAS, ITDC, ISA SP50. Only FIP, ARINC 1553, MIL 1553 and MICAS have fast, deterministic response (1 ms) Most busses failed because of insufficient integrity or lack of redundancy. Only LON supported a two-level hierarchy (network layer), but lacked real-time response. Only MICAS met the technical requirements and was already in use in railways. Its modified version was renamed MVB. The WTB is a modification of DIN 43322, taking over the CD450 experience. The communication software was designed especially for the TCN, to support a large number of small and simple stations. IEC Train Communication Network

according to UIC 558 leaflet
However, SNCF and DB could not agree whether to introduce an additional wire pair into the UIC-cable or into the EP-brake cable.
The EP cable equips SNCF coaches, but few international coaches have it. However, all recent freight vehicles have it.
ERRI tested both media for transmitting data, with no clear superiority.

WTB: The Vehicle Interface

WG22 specified the Wire Train Bus as the standard interface for plug-compatibility between equipment located on different vehicles.
WTB is intended primarily for open trains (trains with variable composition), such as UIC international trains.
WTB considers the requirements of operators, of manufacturers and of the UIC 5R Pilot Group, expressed in leaflet UIC556. Process Data exchanged over WTB are specified in UIC leaflet 556, to permit vehicles of different origin to communicate without ambiguity.
Diagnostics messages exchanged over WTB are defined in UIC leaflet 557.

What makes WTB so special ?
WTB was designed specially for variable consist (UIC) trains. WTB has unique features in industry: autonumbering of nodes (inauguration) and self-configuration failure recovery over two independent lines fritting to overcome oxidation of contacts long transmission distance without repeater (860 m ) over bad quality cables (jumpers, connectors, discontinuities) operation without previous commissioning close following of UIC 556/ UIC557 leaflets The WTB features cost some overhead: two hardware channels and fritting voltage sources special digital signal processor for Manchester decoding unique link layer for inauguration

MVB: The Equipment Interface WG22 specified the Multifunction Vehicle Bus as the standard interface to provide plug-compatibility between equipment on board the same vehicle. The data traffic on the MVB is being defined in WG22's Application Subgroup.
Each type of equipment is accessed in a standard way, to read its characteristics, set-up its parameters and download it with new programs.
The MVB paves the way to interchangeability of equipment and simplified maintenance procedures.
The MVB is important for: small equipment manufacturers (reduce network diversity) assemblers (wider choice of suppliers, commissioning) railways operators (reduce maintenance costs and spare parts)

Message Data: Demand-driven traffic

The entities exchanging messages are called Application Functions.
Each vehicle supports a number of standardized Application Functions.

The train bus accesses a vehicle without knowing its internal structure. The Application accesses functions rather thandevices. Functions are implemented by one or several vehicle bus devices, or by a node.

Conformance Test
Theory: the TCN is specified in such detail that implementations by different teams, with only the standard documents as a base, are compatible. Reality: Whatever the level of detail, there will be ambiguities and incompatibilities between implementations. Therefore: The first implementation of the TCN has been done jointly by teams of several firms, to ensure that the core specifications are usable. A user group should act as a forum to provide feedback to the standard. Only one software written in a general language (C) should be used as a reference (also for the standard document). This software must be made available to all parties under fair conditions. Conformance testing will be needed when different implementations arise. There is currently no incentive to have different implementations. IEC Train Communication Network

TCN Conformance Test

The guidelines for Conformance Test, developed at the request of TC9 in Frankfurt, allow to test a device's conformity with the TCN. These tests have been successfully applied to the ERRI test train.

Lessons learned from the ERRI Test Train

operational problems were underestimated, the test had to be lengthened by 1/2 year. before installing the TCN, the electrical wiring must be harmonised ( battery polarity, connector wiring, earthing, etc..) the WTB is more limited by reflections from cabling and connectors than by signal attenuation, decoding by a digital signal processor was a must. initially, recovery from individual node failures was neglected (domino-effect). Handling degraded mode situations make the bulk of the software. back-up mode (old UIC lines and WTB running in parallel) caused "mirror effect". The application, not the network, must care for this and other "tail-bitings". for trouble-shooting, means must be introduced to supervise the bus and bring it in a defined state (like assign mastership to various nodes in sequence) most of the difficult work was in the application programs (mapping server, etc...)

TCN Openness
IEC required that all components necessary to implement the TCN be commercially available to all parties. There are no intellectual property rights on the TCN The product manufacturers were required to file a committment to make their technology available under reasonable conditions Even so, the documents were written so that a third party can implement a compatible TCN without insider knowledge The MVB integrated circuit was built out of the standard document only The software has been ported to several platforms

IEC 61375
Stability
Theory: Standards are stable and are not modified afterwards. Reality: Computer software is not stable. ASICs technologies become obsolete. Bugs and new requirements require corrections and modifications. Every porting to a new platform causes changes. Therefore: An entity must distribute and maintain the TCN over the years. This entity must have an interest in the application and a commitment towards the railways industry and users. Even if parts of the TCN make use of commercial components, maintenance must anyhow be done for the other components.
Only railways manufacturers can bring this stability

Conclusions The Train Communication Network was adopted as an International Standard in 1999. TCN was adopted as on-board network by the IEEE Vehicular Society as IEEE Std 1473 TCN is supported by the International Railways Union (UIC) and the International Union of Public Transport (UITP) TCN is supported by a strong manufacturer group rooted in railways, including Adtranz, Firema, Siemens. TCN is the base of the European Union ROSIN project Hundreds of vehicles of different manufacturers operate with TCN. Parts are available from third parties, TCN is free of intellectual property rights. There is currently no alternative to the IEC Train Communication Network The most important for a bus is the community which supports it IEC Train Communication Network
