CONTROL AND OPERATING TECHNOLOGY

Integrated Control System (iBS)

As a part of DB Netz AG‘s new system architecture in the area of the control and signalling equipment (LST), Scheidt & Bachmann has developed the integrated control system (iBS). It enables the manufacturer-independent operation of modern DSTW and ESTW via the standard interface SCI-CC. The integrated control system does not contain any safety-related functions and integrates all applications required for the DB driveway service in a uniform look & feel. Please learn more here about the features of the iBS and see it in action in this DB InfraGo application.

/ IBS – THE INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE FUTURE: ERGONOMIC, FLEXIBLE AND ECONOMICAL

The transparent connection of railway interlocking systems from different manufacturers is provided by the so-called iUZ. In addition to adaptation to the standardized SCI-CC interface, it also bundles important functions such as train describer, automatic route setting and documentation. For the railway interlocking system type ZSB 2000 it also enables the connection of all productive installations/systems in the field to the iBS.

The integrated control system (iBS) offers significant advantages compared to conventional control systems

Attractive workplace for the train dispatcher of today and tomorrow

With a user interface based on the latest web technology, the movable detailed view of the interlocking area (“panning”), the large, central 50'' monitor and configurable backlighting, a contemporary and very high level of operating convenience is offered by the iBS. Flexible personnel deployment planning is supported by the manufacturer-independent and standardized operation of the connected DSTW/ESTW. Further details such as single sign-on for applications makes the daily work of the train dispatcher considerably easier.

Future-proof system and reduction of TCOs (total cost of ownership)

Economic advantages are made possible by the use of commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) components. Adapted release procedures ensure short and innovative SW release cycles, e.g. for the integration of further applications like TK, MAS and LST.

Scalable system for flexible and immediate use

The iBS can be flexibly adapted: From smaller operating locations with iBScompact to iBSlocal, which enables operation even if there is no connection to the central services bbIP or the directory service, through to equipping an entire operating location (BSO) with a maximum of 25 operating stations. A scaled and verified and migration concept allows the iBS to be introduced quickly, thus ensuring the sustainability of the investment.
