The future of the digital railway: Our safe, modular control solutions

Rail transport needs digitisation: Many railway infrastructure systems are outdated and in urgent need of modernisation. Also, most available solutions are predominantly based on proprietary control solutions from just a few manufacturers, and these solutions are not compatible. This leads to a dependent relationship, so-called vendor lock-in.

Safe. Modular. For Digital Railway.

Pilz can provide support with your challenges

Modern, digital railway automation can improve the reliability of rail transport. We can provide support with proven safety solutions for the requirements presented by digitisation of the railway industry.

Why is Pilz your perfect partner?

We are safety experts

Railway control system PSSrail in the control cabinet

Our core competency is safety and we bring this to bear in our solutions for safe, digital railway automation.

With the railway control system PSSrail we offer a tried and tested safety solution for railway infrastructure applications requiring up to SIL4. Thanks to its modular structure it is ideally suitable for digital control tasks.

We are solution suppliers

From the monitoring and control of level crossings to locally operated points (LOP) and the EULYNX Object Controller, we offer a flexible platform that can be adapted to your individual requirements.

Invest in the future automation of the railway and benefit from innovative, safe and digital solutions.

We are digitisers

Pilz is a pioneer in the development of digital solutions for the modern requirements of railway infrastructure.

We support the work of EULYNX, an organisation of western European railway infrastructure operators, whose mission is to develop and provide uniform standards for new, modular interlocking technology.

We digitise your infrastructure for rail transport

Our safe and modular railway control system PSSrail forms the basis for the digitisation of railway infrastructure: We offer a modular system, which is flexible and suitable for universal use, and can therefore be easily adapted to your individual requirements. Use PSS rail for various signalling applications, such as locally operated points, level crossings or digital interlockings. Use PSSrail as an Object Controller Platform, so that control of the field components along the track is digital, and therefore reliable and economical.

Benefits of our solutions:

Digital solution: Digitisation of railway infrastructure using RaSTa and EULYNX
Needs-based and flexible: What you get is a flexible solution tailored to your needs
Modularity: Can be configured individually as you wish and can therefore be used in all conceivable railway applications in signalling technology
Openness: No vendor lock-in, as our railway control system can be integrated into any solutions
Certification: Safety up to Safety Integrity Level 4 (SIL 4) in accordance with CENELEC
