Abstract

The function monitoring device has a data processor (UE) receiving all the inputs for the schematic track display (ST), with storage of the switch conditions of the signalling image elements. A stored list of permissible logic rules is held in the data processor for comparison with the actual switch conditions, to provide an indication when a non-permissible switch condition is detected. The data processor checks the validity of the non-permissible switch condition and provides a warning signal only if the checked indication is consistent. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Überwachungseinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a monitoring device according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Bei spurgebundenen Verkehrsmitteln, wie Eisenbahnen, U- und S-Bahnen wird der Fahrweg in aller Regel von streckenseitigen Steuerungsanlagen wie Stellwerken oder diesen übergeordneten Leitstellen aus eingestellt und gesichert.With track-bound means of transport, such as railways, underground and S-Bahn trains are usually from the track side Control systems such as signal boxes or superordinate ones Control centers set and secured.

Im Stellwerk bzw. in der Leitstelle ist ein Bediensteter (Fahrdienstleiter) für die fahrplangemäß vorzunehmenden Stellhandlungen und die Überwachung von deren Ablauf sowie für die Entgegennahme von Warn- und Fehlermeldungen der Steuerungsanlage verantwortlich. Zur Kommunikation mit der Steuerungsanlage dient dem Fahrdienstleiter in Befehlsrichtung eine Eingabeeinrichtung wie Stelltafel, Stellpult oder Bildschirmeingabe, in Melderichtung eine Anzeigeeinrichtung, die den jeweiligen Zustand des Fahrweges sowie eingegebene und ablaufende Stellhandlungen in Form eines Meldebildes signaltechnisch sicher anzeigt. There is an employee in the signal box or in the control center (Dispatcher) for the schedule to be carried out Acting actions and the monitoring of their process as well as for the Acceptance of warning and error messages from the control system responsible. Used for communication with the control system an input device for the dispatcher in the command direction such as a control panel, control panel or screen input, in the reporting direction a display device showing the respective state of the route as well as entered and expiring actions in the form of a Indicates the alarm image safely.

Eingabeeinrichtung und Anzeigeeinrichtung können auch zu einer Einheit zusammengefaßt sein.Input device and display device can also be combined into one Unit.

Abgesehen von besonderen, sogenannten protokollpflichtigen Eingaben, werden Stellbefehle in den beschriebenen Steuerungsanlagen von der Schaltungslogik allein signaltechnisch sicher ausgeführt, d.h., die Steuerungsanlage prüft selbsttätig alle Zulässigkeitsvoraussetzungen für eine Stellhandlung, bevor sie einen entsprechenden Stellbefehl ausführt. Dabei arbeitet die Steuerungsanlage nach Sicherheitsprinzipien, die das Entstehen gefährlicher Zustände durch Ausfall einzelner Bauelemente oder durch Störeinflüsse von außen ausschließen. Derartige Ausfälle oder Störungen führen jedoch, wie auch Ausfälle im gesteuerten Fahrwegbereich, zu Betriebshemmungen und erhöhen, wenn sie nicht schnell erkannt und behoben werden, die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Doppelfehlern, aufgrund derer dann auch gefährliche Zustände eintreten können.Apart from special, so-called protocol-requiring Inputs, control commands are described in the Control systems from the circuit logic only signal technology executed safely, i.e. the control system checks automatically all admissibility requirements for an act before it executes an appropriate command. The works Control system according to safety principles that the emergence dangerous conditions due to failure of individual components or exclude from outside interference. Such failures or failures, however, as well as failures in the controlled Guideway area, to inhibit operations and increase when not the likelihood of being quickly recognized and fixed Double errors, due to which dangerous conditions can occur.

In der Regel erkennt der Fahrdienstleiter auftretende Fehler aus dem Meldebild oder aus dem Ansprechen oder Nichtansprechen von in der Anzeigeeinrichtung vorgesehenen Meldern. Es gibt aber auch Fälle, in denen aufgetretene Fehler, bevor sie eine Betriebshemmung verursachen, nur durch eine Analyse vorausgegangener Stellvorgänge erkannt werden können. Derartige Fehler werden vom Fahrdienstleiter in den allermeisten Fällen nicht vor Eintritt der Betriebshemmung erkannt.As a rule, the dispatcher recognizes errors that occur the reporting picture or from the response or non-response from in the detectors provided. There is also Cases where errors occurred before making a Cause stoppage only by analysis previous actuating processes can be recognized. Such In most cases, the dispatcher will make mistakes not recognized before the operational inhibition occurs.

Mit der Größe der von den Steuerungsanlagen zu steuernden Fahrwegbereiche, der damit verbundenen Erhöhung der Zahl der gleichzeitig im Fahrwegbereich verkehrenden Fahrzeuge und mit der heute allgemein angestrebten dichteren Fahrzeugfolge wird es für den Fahrdienstleiter immer schwerer, seine Überwachungsaufgaben, wie die Verfolgung des Ablaufes der ausgelösten Stellvorgänge an der Anzeigeeinrichtung, die Überprüfung des Meldebildes auf ungewöhnliche Konstellationen von Bildelementen oder die Entgegennahme und Behandlung von Warnmeldungen wie erforderlich wahrzunehmen. Eine ständige Überlastung des Fahrdienstleiters führt aber, wie man weiß, zu Konzentrationsmängeln und erhöht letztlich die Gefahr von Fehlbedienungen.With the size of those to be controlled by the control systems Guideway areas, the associated increase in the number of vehicles running in the guideway area and with the The denser vehicle sequence generally sought today will be for the dispatcher increasingly difficult, his surveillance tasks, such as tracking the sequence of the actuating processes triggered the display device, checking the reporting image unusual constellations of picture elements or the acceptance and Perceive handling of alerts as required. A constant Overloading the dispatcher leads, as we know, to lack of concentration and ultimately increases the risk of incorrect operation.

State-of-the-art remote control in operation at the Munich subway " , Signal + Draht, 85 (1993) 6, pp. 197 to 201 is Eiserner Fahrdienstleiter ", which is a workstation computer, has access to rules stored in a database. With the help of these rules, this workstation computer checks the permissibility of changes in status that a signal box reports. When checking the admissibility, the Iron dispatchers ", however, only the respective actual state; questions of admissibility, which result from the sequence of state changes extending over a longer period of time, can arise Do not check iron dispatchers ".

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung zu schaffen, die den Bediener einer wie eingangs beschrieben aufgebauten Steuerungsanlage von Überwachungsaufgaben weitestgehend entlastet.The object of the invention is therefore to create a device which the operator of a control system from Monitoring tasks largely relieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1.

Die nach der Erfindung vorgesehene Datenverarbeitungsanlage erfaßt ständig den Zustand aller für die Überwachung ausgewählter Meldebildelemente relevanten Eingänge der Anzeigeeinrichtung. Sie prüft, ob ausgelesene Schaltzustandskombinationen mit in einer Liste gespeicherten logischen Regeln verträglich sind und gibt eine Warnung aus, wenn dies nicht der Fall ist. So kann z.B. eine Regel aufgestellt werden, die besagt, daß, wenn ein bestimmter Zustand eines Fahrwegelementes angezeigt wird, unmittelbar zuvor ein ganz bestimmter anderer Zustand desselben oder eines anderen Fahrwegelementes gemeldet worden sein muß, oder es kann eine Regel geprüft werden, die besagt, daß spätestens 6 Sekunden nach Ausgabe eines Weichenumlaufbefehls der Verschlußmelder der betreffenden Weiche diese als in der befohlenen Endlage verschlossen gemeldet haben muß. Dabei greift die Datenverarbeitungsanlage nicht in den Ablauf des Stellgeschehens ein, benötigt somit keinen direkten Zugang zur Schaltung der Steuerungsanlage. Sie wertet lediglich die Information aus, die auch dem Fahrdienstleiter zur Verfügung steht und die an der Anzeigeeinrichtung abgegriffen werden kann. Dabei arbeitet sie schnell, fehlerfrei und entdeckt auch Fehler, die nur anhand gespeicherter vorausgegangener Stellvorgänge erkannt werden können. Da jedes Stellwerk und jede Leitzentrale, unabhängig von der verwendeten Schaltungstechnik, immer eine Anzeigeeinrichtung aufweist, an der die benötigte Information ansteht, läßt sich die Überwachungseinrichtung in jeder derartigen Anlage ohne größere Anpassungsmaßnahmen einsetzen.The data processing system provided according to the invention continuously records the State of all alarm picture elements selected for monitoring Inputs of the display device. It checks whether read out Switching state combinations with logical rules stored in a list are compatible and issues a warning if this is not the case. For example, set up a rule that says that when a certain condition of a track element is displayed becomes a certain other state immediately before the same or another route element have been reported must, or a rule can be checked which states that no later than 6 seconds after issuing a turnout command from Lock detector of the switch in question as in the commanded end position locked must have reported. It takes effect the data processing system is not required in the course of the positioning process therefore no direct access to the control system circuit. It only evaluates the information that is also available to the dispatcher and that is available at the Display device can be tapped. It works quickly, error-free and also discovers errors that are only based on saved previous actuating processes can be recognized. Because every signal box and every control center, regardless of the circuitry used, always has a display device on which the required information is pending, the monitoring device can be in each use such a system without major adaptation measures.

Weiterbildungen der Überwachungseinrichtung nach der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben:
So betreffen die Ansprüche 2 und 3 die Initiierung des Überwachungsprozesses, nach jeder Änderung des Meldebildes - dies ist in verkehrsarmen Zeiten sinnvoll - oder - bei dichtem Verkehr - in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen.Further developments of the monitoring device according to the invention are specified in the subclaims:
For example, claims 2 and 3 relate to the initiation of the monitoring process, after each change in the reporting screen - this makes sense in low-traffic times - or - in heavy traffic - at regular intervals.

Eine in Anspruch 4 beschriebene Ausgestaltung der Überwachungseinrichtung nach der Erfindung erleichtert die Aufnahme von bisher noch nicht in der Datenverarbeitungsanlage gespeicherten logischen Regeln. Damit kann die Überwachungseinrichtung, z.B. bei Fahrwegänderungen, an die neue Situation angepaßt werden.An embodiment of the described in claim 4 Monitoring device according to the invention facilitates the Recording of not yet in the data processing system stored logical rules. So that Monitoring device, e.g. in the case of route changes, to the new one Situation to be adjusted.

Gegenstand der Patentansprüche 5 bis 7 ist die Übernahme von Routineüberprüfungen durch die Überwachungseinrichtung. So kann gemäß Anspruch 5 z.B. die in einem Eisenbahnstellwerk übliche tägliche Weichenumlaufprüfung von der Überwachungseinrichtung ausgelöst oder beim Fahrdienstleiter angemahnt werden.The subject of claims 5 to 7 is the takeover of Routine checks by the monitoring facility. So can according to claim 5 e.g. the usual in a railway signal box daily turnout check by the monitoring system triggered or reminded by the dispatcher.

Gemäß Patentanspruch 6 kann die Beanspruchung von Fahrwegelementen statistisch erfaßt werden und es können, entsprechend Patentanspruch 7, abhängig von der Zahl der Beanspruchungen, Funktionsprüfungen ausgelöst oder beim Fahrdienstleiter oder Instandhaltungsdienst angemahnt werden. According to claim 6, the stress on track elements can be statistically recorded and it can, accordingly Claim 7, depending on the number of stresses, Function tests triggered or at the dispatcher or Maintenance service be reminded.

Anhand von zwei Figuren soll nun ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung eingehend beschrieben werden.

An embodiment of the invention will now be described in detail with reference to two figures.
Fig. 1
schematically shows a guideway control system in which the monitoring device according to the invention can be used effectively,
Fig. 2
shows the program structure of the monitoring device.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Blockschaltbild für eine Fahrwegsteuerungsanlage angegeben, wie sie sich z.B. zur Steuerung von Bahnhöfen entlang einer Eisenbahnstrecke eignet.In Fig. 1 is a block diagram for a route control system specified how they e.g. to control train stations along a railway line.

Vom Stellwerk eines zentralen Bahnhofes aus werden neben dem eigenen Fahrwegbereich BZ die Fahrwegbereiche B1, B2 zweier weiterer, unbesetzter Bahnhöfe gesteuert. Auf einem zentralen Stelltisch ST sind Gleisbilder der drei Fahrwegbereiche dargestellt. Stelleingaben können am Stelltisch direkt oder über nicht dargestellte zusätzliche Eingabeeinrichtungen wie z.B. Nummernstellpult, Bildschirmeingabe etc. vorgenommen werden.From the signal box of a central station next to the own route area BZ the route areas B1, B2 two controlled further, unoccupied stations. On a central ST table are track diagrams of the three guideway areas shown. Position entries can be made directly or via the table additional input devices, not shown, such as Number keypad, screen input, etc. can be made.

Die Stelltischausleuchtung ist signaltechnisch sicher. Mit dem Stelltisch verbunden ist die Stellwerkslogik ZSL des zentralen Bahnhofes, welche die im Fahrwegbereich BZ des zentralen Bahnhofes gelegenen Fahrwegelemente FWZ unmittelbar ansteuert und deren Zustand durch Ansteuerung von den Fahrwegelementen zugeordneten Anzeigeelementen im Stelltisch ST meldet.The lighting of the table is signal-safe. With the The ZSL signal box logic of the central one is connected to the table Station, which is in the route area BZ of the central station located track elements FWZ directly and their State assigned by control of the route elements Display elements in the ST table reports.

Mit dem Stelltisch ST verbunden ist weiterhin eine zentrale Verbindungsschaltung ZV, welche über eine spezielle, signaltechnisch sicher arbeitende Datenübertragungsstrecke DUE und an diese angeschlossene dezentrale Verbindungsschaltungen DV1, DV2 mit Stellwerksschaltungen SL1, SL2 der unbesetzten Bahnhöfe verbunden ist. Die Verbindungsschaltungen ZV, DV1, DV2 bilden zusammen mit der Datenübertragungsstrecke ein Fernsteuerungssystem, das es erlaubt, Fahrwegelemente FW1, FW2 der unbesetzten Bahnhöfe über die zugehörigen Stellwerkschaltungen zu betätigen und Meldungen über den jeweiligen Zustand dieser Fahrwegelemente zu erhalten.A central is still connected to the ST table Connection circuit ZV, which has a special, DUE and to these connected decentralized connection circuits DV1, DV2 with signal boxes SL1, SL2 of the unoccupied stations connected is. The connection circuits ZV, DV1, DV2 form together with the data transmission link Remote control system that allows track elements FW1, FW2 unoccupied stations via the corresponding signal boxes press and messages about the respective state of this Obtain track elements.

Mit dem Stelltisch ST ist nun noch zusätzlich eine Überwachungseinrichtung verbunden, die eine Datenverarbeitungsanlage UE, einen umfangreichen Speicher SP sowie Anzeigemittel umfaßt. Letztere können auf dem Stelltisch angeordnet sein.With the ST table, there is now an additional one Monitor connected, the one Data processing system UE, an extensive memory SP as well Display means includes. The latter can be on the table be arranged.

Die Funktion der Überwachungseinrichtung läßt sich anhand der in Fig. 2 wiedergegebenen Programmstruktur beschreiben.The function of the monitoring device can be determined using the in Fig. 2 describe the program structure shown.

Zustandsänderungen im Meldebild, ganz gleich, ob diese Fahrwegelemente im Fahrwegbereich des zentralen Bahnhofes oder in einem der Fahrwegbereiche der anderen Bahnhöfe betreffen, setzen einen Stellwerks-Meldeprozeß SWM in Gang, der Datentelegramme, die diese Zustandsänderungen beschreiben, in einen Zwischenspeicher ZSP1 einschreibt. Der als Mailbox fungierende Zwischenspeicher ZSP1 wird von einem weiteren Prozeß, REA, ausgelesen und die gespeicherten Telegramme werden nacheinander in mehrfacher Zielrichtung weiterverarbeitet:

  • 1. Ablage der Telegramme in einer Datei DBK1 einer im Speicher SP konfigurierten Datenbank.
  • 2. Weitergabe der Telegramme an ein Ausgabeprogramm SWP in unveränderter Form, das eine Anzeige aller oder ausgewählter Telegramme vornimmt.
  • 3. Ermittlung von Testfunktionen, die aufgrund des Telegramminhalts ausgeführt werden müssen, und Eingabe dieser Testfunktionen in eine Warteschlange TQ der Datenbank, zusammen mit dem Ausführungszeitpunkt.
    • Status changes in the message screen, regardless of whether these route elements relate to the route area of the central train station or one of the route areas of the other stations, trigger a signal box signaling process SWM, which writes data telegrams that describe these status changes into a buffer memory ZSP1. The intermediate storage ZSP1, which acts as a mailbox, is read out by another process, REA, and the stored telegrams are processed one after the other in multiple directions:
  • 1. Storage of the telegrams in a file DBK1 of a database configured in the memory SP.
  • 2. Forwarding of the telegrams to an output program SWP in unchanged form, which displays all or selected telegrams.
  • 3. Determination of test functions that must be carried out based on the telegram content and input of these test functions into a queue TQ of the database, together with the time of execution.

    • Ein Programm TQM fügt zusätzliche zeitgesteuerte Tests, die z.B. Routineprüfungen zugeordnet sind, die in festgelegten Zeitabständen vorzunehmen sind, in die Warteschlange TQ ein. Die Warteschlange TQ wird von einem Programm FDC abgearbeitet, welches die in der Warteschlange eingetragenen Testfunktionen ausführt. Hierbei werden den Testfunktionen anhand der enthaltenen Stellelemente und Elementbeziehungen logische Regeln zugeordnet, die in der Datenbank gespeichert sind und die von der jeweiligen Testfunktion erfüllt werden müssen.A program TQM adds additional time-controlled tests that e.g. Routine exams are associated with those laid down in Intervals are to be made in the queue TQ. The Queue TQ is processed by a program FDC, which executes the test functions entered in the queue. Here, the test functions are included based on the Control elements and element relationships assigned to logical rules, that are stored in the database and that of the respective Test function must be fulfilled.

    Das Programm FDC prüft die Erfüllung dieser Regeln und liefert Meldungen, die am Stelltisch ST angezeigt werden sollen, über einen Zwischenspeicher ZSP2 mit Mailbox-Funktion an ein lokales Ausgabeprogramm FDP und damit an den Stelltisch und die zentrale Verbindungsschaltung ZV zur Weiterleitung an die Bedieneinrichtungen der ferngesteuerten Bahnhöfe. Zusätzlich werden die vom Programm FDC erarbeiteten Meldungen in einer Datei DBK3 der Datenbank abgespeichert.The FDC program checks the compliance with these rules and delivers Messages to be displayed on the ST table via a buffer ZSP2 with mailbox function to a local one Output program FDP and thus to the table and the central Connection circuit ZV for forwarding to Operating devices of the remote-controlled train stations. In addition the messages generated by the FDC program are saved in a file DBK3 of the database saved.

    Um das am Stelltisch angezeigte Meldebild oder Änderungen in diesem Meldebild zu beschreiben, muß jedes Fahrwegelement und dessen Zustand eindeutig definiert sein. Zu diesem Zweck ist jedes Element einer Elementart (z.B. Weiche) zugeordnet. Elementarten können unterschiedliche Anzeigecodes aufweisen, die den jeweiligen aktuellen Zustand eines Elements kennzeichnen (z.B. "Weiche rechts, frei", "Weiche links, besetzt", "Weiche läuft nach rechts um" usw.). Elementarten können auch zueinander in Beziehung stehen, z.B. gehören zu einer Weiche ein linker Abzweig, ein rechter Abzweig, eine Weichenspitze, eine Weichentaste, ein Verschlußmelder und ein Sperrmelder.In order to display the message or changes in To describe this report picture, each track element and whose state must be clearly defined. For this purpose, everyone is Element assigned to an element type (e.g. switch). Element types can have different display codes that correspond to the respective Mark the current status of an element (e.g. "Turnout right, free "," turnout left, occupied "," turnout runs to the right um "etc.). Element types can also be related to each other stand, e.g. belong to a turnout a left branch, a right branch, a turnout tip, a turnout button Lock detector and a lock detector.

    Konkrete Ausprägungen von Elementarten werden Elemente (Fahrwegelemente) genannt. So ist z.B. das Element W11 eine ganz bestimmte Weiche im Fahrwegbereich eines Bahnhofes. Werden mehrere Bahnhöfe überwacht, so muß die Weiche W11 noch ein Bahnhofskennzeichen bekommen, damit sie von der Weiche W11 eines anderen Bahnhofes unterschieden werden kann.Concrete forms of element types become elements (Route elements) called. For example, the element W11 a whole certain points in the track area of a train station. Become several Railway stations monitored, the switch W11 still has to Get station markings so that they can get one from the turnout W11 other station can be distinguished.

    Neben allgemeinen Beziehungen zwischen Elementarten können auch ganz individuelle logische und topologische Beziehungen zwischen bestimmten Elementen in der Datenbank niedergelegt sein. Beispielsweise kann der Weiche W11 der Verschlußmelder VM11 zugeordnet sein.In addition to general relationships between element types, very individual logical and topological relationships between certain elements in the database. For example, the switch W11 of the lock detector VM11 be assigned.

    In den Stammdaten der Datenbank (Datei DBK2) sind somit für jedes relevante Fahrwegelement der Elementname, der Bahnhof (Fahrwegbereich), in dem sich das Fahrwegelement befindet, die Elementart sowie Elementart-Beziehungen und Elementbeziehungen aufgezeichnet.In the master data of the database (file DBK2) are therefore for everyone relevant route element the element name, the station (Route area) in which the route element is located, the Element type as well as element type relationships and element relationships recorded.

    Jede in der Datenbank gespeicherte Regel enthält in ihrer Definition Kriterien, die besagen, welche Stellwerksmeldungen die Regel-Überprüfung anstoßen (triggern) sollen. Der Prozeß REA ermittelt, welche Regel-Definitionen mit einer Stellwerksmeldung in Elementart, Anzeigecode, Bahnhofskennzeichen und Stellelementkennzeichen übereinstimmen und reiht im Übereinstimmungsfalle die Überprüfung der entsprechenden Regeln als Testfunktion in die Warteschlange TQ ein.Each rule stored in the database contains in its Definition of criteria that state which interlocking messages the Initiate (trigger) the rule check. The REA process determines which rule definitions with an interlocking message in element type, display code, station identification and Control element identifiers match and lines up in Conformity trap checking the relevant rules as a test function in the queue TQ.

    Die Parameter "Bahnhof" und "Stellelement" können auch mit Platzhaltern belegt sein. Dann können Regeln so verallgemeinert werden, daß sie z.B. für alle Stellelemente einer Elementart in allen Bahnhöfen gültig sind. Bei Kriterien mit Platzhalter-Zeichen ist die Übereinstimmung unabhängig vom Meldungsinhalb im entsprechenden Feld. Derartige allgemeinere Regeln (die z.B. alle Weichen in allen Bahnhöfen betreffen) können aber mittels Festlegung mehrerer Regel-Definitionen mit gleichen Namen durch weniger allgemeine Regeln (z.B. alle Weichen im Bahnhof B1 oder Weiche W11 im Bahnhof B1) überlagert werden. The parameters "station" and "control element" can also be used Placeholders must be occupied. Then rules can be generalized like this that they e.g. for all control elements of an element type in all train stations are valid. For criteria with wildcard characters the match is independent of the message within corresponding field. Such more general rules (e.g. all Turnouts in all train stations can affect) Definition of several rule definitions with the same name less general rules (e.g. all switches in the B1 or train station) Turnout W11 in station B1) can be overlaid.

    Die Überprüfung einer Regel (Test) liefert als Ergebnis "wahr" oder "falsch", je nachdem ob die Regel unter Zugrundelegung der aktuellen Meldebildinformation erfüllt ist.The result of checking a rule (test) is "true" or "wrong" depending on whether the rule is based on the current reporting picture information is fulfilled.

    Jede Regel kann aus Teilregeln (sog. Test-Bausteinen) bestehen, die, jede für sich, wieder die Parameter Elementart, Anzeigecode, Bahnhof, Element aufweisen und in vorgegebener Reihenfolge abgearbeitet werden müssen. Jede Teilregel liefert als Ergebnis "wahr" oder "falsch". Die Gesamtregel ist dann erfüllt, wenn die Teilregeln entsprechend ihrer Verknüpfung untereinander erfüllt sind. Sind Teilregeln mit "oder" verknüpft, genügt es z.B. bereits, wenn eine Teilregel erfüllt ist, und die Gesamtregel kann mit "wahr" beantwortet werden. Sind die Teilregeln mit "und" verknüpft, müssen die Prüfungen aller Teilregeln "wahr" liefern, um die Gesamtregel zu erfüllen.Each rule can consist of sub-rules (so-called test modules) which, each separately, the parameters element type, display code, Show station, element and in a given order have to be processed. Each sub-rule delivers as a result "true or false". The general rule is fulfilled if the Sub-rules fulfilled according to their connection to each other are. If partial rules are linked with "or", it is sufficient e.g. even if a sub-rule is fulfilled and the overall rule can be answered with "true". Are the sub-rules with "and" linked, the tests of all sub-rules must deliver "true", to meet the overall rule.

    Zur Prüfung einer Regel oder Teilregel wird geprüft, ob Einträge in der Datenbank existieren, die den Parametern der Testfunktionen entsprechen. Dabei kann genau angegeben werden, wieviele Stellwerksmeldungen existieren müssen, um einen Test einer Teilregel als bestanden zu werten.To check a rule or sub-rule, it is checked whether entries exist in the database, the parameters of the test functions correspond. It can be specified exactly how many Interlocking messages must exist to test a Sub-rule to be considered passed.

    Eine Regel, die z.B. eine Gleissperrmeldung für ein Element prüft, kann z.B. wie folgt lauten: r (S01, 123, *, *) = r1 (S11, 121 $0, SPT)

    und
    r2 (S16, 121, $0.Taste, $0.Taste)
    oder
    r3 (S01, 123, $0, $0)
    oder
    r4 (S01, 124, $0, $0)
    oder
    r5 (S01, 125, $0, $0)
    A rule that checks a track lock message for an element, for example, can be as follows: r (S01, 123, *, *) = r1 (S11, 121 $ 0, SPT)
    and
    r2 (S16, 121, $ 0.key, $ 0.key)
    or
    r3 (S01, 123, $ 0, $ 0)
    or
    r4 (S01, 124, $ 0, $ 0)
    or
    r5 (S01, 125, $ 0, $ 0)

    Sie beschreibt einen Test, der ausgeführt werden muß, wenn eine Stellwerks-Meldung für ein beliebiges Element der Elementart S01 (= Fahrstraße) eintrifft, welches den Anzeigecode 123 (Gleis gesperrt für nächste Fahrstraße) hat. Die Regel r und damit der Test ist dann erfüllt, wenn die Teilregeln r1 und r2 erfüllt sind, oder wenn mindestens eine der Regeln r3, r4 und r5 erfüllt ist.It describes a test that must be carried out if one Signal box message for any element of element type S01 (= Route) arrives, which indicates the display code 123 (track blocked for the next driveway). The rule r and thus the Test is fulfilled if sub-rules r1 and r2 are fulfilled, or if at least one of the rules r3, r4 and r5 is fulfilled.

    In Worten: Eine Gleissperr-Meldung ist dann korrekt, wenn entweder das Gleis bereits gesperrt war (eine der Regeln r3 bis r5 erfüllt), oder für dieses Gleis die Gleistaste und die sogenannte Gruppentaste (Zweitastenbedienung) betätigt wurde (d.h. wenn die Teilregeln r1 und r2 gleichzeitig erfüllt waren).In words: A track lock message is correct if either the track was already blocked (one of the rules r3 to r5 fulfilled), or for this track the track button and the so-called Group key (two-key operation) has been pressed (i.e. if the Sub-rules r1 and r2 were fulfilled at the same time).

    Zeitabhängigkeiten und Folgeabhängigkeiten lassen sich mit Hilfe des Zeitparameters in den einzelnen Regeln prüfen. Da jede Stellwerksmeldung wenigstens vorübergehend abgespeichert wird, kann geprüft werden, ob z.B. ein Element zu einem bestimmten zurtickliegenden Zeitpunkt einen bestimmten Anzeigecode aufgewiesen hat.Time dependencies and subsequent dependencies can be with the help Check the time parameter in the individual rules. Because everyone Signal box message is stored at least temporarily, can be checked whether e.g. one item to a specific one a specific display code at the previous time Has.
