In future, the railway control system from Pilz will take over communication between the interlockings and control cabinets on the line, based on the safe real-time Ethernet SafetyNET p. The digital I/O signals are transferred via glass fibre long-distance connections. The solution also guarantees safe operation in accordance with SIL4 and EN 50126.
