Description

  The present invention relates to a railway vehicle transmission system and a transmission apparatus.

  In a conventional transmission system for rail vehicles, an electrical product such as a display device connected to the transmission device is provided with an address setting switch, and the address of the transmission device and the electrical product is set by manual setting of the switch. Was. In the railway vehicle transmission system configured as described above, even when a network is built in the railway vehicle, the address of the transmission station provided in each transmission device and electrical product does not overlap with other equipment. It is possible to distinguish from which transmission device the information is.

  However, when IPV4 (hexadecimal 4 digits), which is currently widely used, is adopted and a network in a railway vehicle is configured with a conventional railway vehicle transmission system, an address setting is included in the transmission device and the electrical equipment. It is necessary to provide a large number of switches, and the switches must be made small in order to accommodate many switches. For this reason, a setting error by an operator is likely to occur in the registration work of the address of the transmission apparatus, and the work itself is difficult. Therefore, conventionally, it has been a technical problem to realize a transmission system for a railway vehicle that can easily set an address and can easily construct a network.

  On the other hand, even if the address setting automation method (DHCP), which has been increasing recently, is applied to a railway vehicle network, when there are a plurality of electrical appliances of the same type in the railway vehicle, for example, electrical appliances such as display devices Even if the address can be automatically allocated by DHCP, the correspondence between the IP address and the electrical product (the number identifying the display device of which car number) does not match. For this reason, there has been a problem that, for example, an inconvenience may occur that the contents to be displayed on the display device of the first car are displayed on the display device of the fifth car.

Yes. In the following description, reference numerals 1a to 1e, 2a, 2b, 3a to 3d, etc. are used when it is necessary to individually distinguish the constituent elements, and reference numerals are used when it is not necessary to distinguish the elements individually. Let's be represented by 1, 2, 3 etc.

  As shown in FIG. 16, data transmitted and received by the transmission apparatus 1 includes an Ethernet header (destination MAC address + source MAC address + type), IP header (including source IP address and destination IP address), TCP header, or UDP. It consists of a header, data information, and CRC check data (FCS). These are generally called Ethernet frames. However, Ethernet is a registered trademark.

  The transmission apparatus 1 of this embodiment includes two-port trunk transmission transmitters 5a and 5b that can permit / prohibit transmission, two-port trunk transmission receivers 6a and 6b that can permit / prohibit reception, and the own car. The transmission / reception device 7a and the transmission station 8 for transmitting / receiving data and the transmission / reception device 7b capable of permitting / prohibiting transmission / reception to / from the display device 2 are connected to the transmission repeater control device 4. The display device 2, which is an electrical product, is connected to the transmission device 1 via the transceiver 7b.

  In the present embodiment, the electric device is described as the display device 2, but other devices may be used. In this embodiment, a single electrical product is described, but more may be used. In that case, the transmitter / receiver 7b increases. In the description of the railway vehicle transmission system of the present embodiment, the private address class C of IPV4 is used as the transmission station address. However, class B or class A may be used, or IPV6 or the like may be used. May be used.

  Next, the operation of the railway vehicle transmission system of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, in the initial state when the power is turned on, the transmission apparatuses 1a to 1e have addresses (192, 168, 0, 0) to (192, 168, 0, 4). On the other hand, the display devices 2a and 2b are in a state of (0, 0, 0, 0) where the IP address is not set. At this time, the transmission devices 1a and 1e are in a state in which transmission / reception with the display devices 2a and 2b is prohibited.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when automatic address setting is started, the transmission apparatus 1a prohibits data exchange with the transmission apparatus 1b, and the transmission apparatus 1e inhibits data exchange with the transmission apparatus 1d. The transmission device 1a permits transmission / reception with the display device 2a, and the transmission device 1e permits transmission / reception with the display device 2b. As a result, the network in the railway vehicle is logically divided into a network (1) of the transmission devices 1b to 1d, a network (2) of the transmission device 1a and the display device 2a, and a network (3) of the transmission device 1e and the display device 2b. Divided.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the transmission device 1a waits for a network setting request 10 from the display device 2a. The network setting request is transmitted by broadcast from the display device 2 having the DHCP function. Therefore, the transmission device 1a prohibits transmission / reception with the transmission device 1b, and prevents the transmission device 1a from receiving the network setting request 10 ′ from the display device 2b on the opposite side. Similarly, the transmission device 1e waits for a network setting request 10 ′ from the display device 2b.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the transmission device 1a that has received the network setting request 10 transmits an address notification 11 including a predetermined IP address (192, 168, 0, 100) to the display device 2a. Similarly, the transmission device 1e transmits an address notification 11 ′ including the IP address (192, 168, 0, 101) to the display device 2b.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the display device 2a that receives the address notification 11 broadcasts to the transmission device 1a an address use request 12 indicating that the designated IP address (192, 168, 0, 100) is to be used. To do. Similarly, the display device 2b transmits an address use request 12 'using the designated IP address (192, 168, 0, 101) to the transmission device 1e.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the transmission device 1a transmits an acknowledgment 13 to the display device 2a as permission to use the IP address (192, 168, 0, 100). Similarly, the transmission device 1e transmits permission (response confirmation 13 ｀) to use the IP address (192, 168, 0, 101) to the display device 2b.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the display device 2a that has received the confirmation response 13 uses the IP address (192, 168, 0, 100) given from the transmission device 1a that is the master for automatic address setting. Similarly, the IP address of the display device 2b is (192, 168, 0, 101).

  As shown in FIG. 10, after setting the IP address for the display device 2a, the transmission device 1a cancels the transmission / reception prohibition with the transmission device 1b and participates in the network (1). Similarly, the transmission device 1e also participates in the network (1) after setting the IP address of the display device 2b.

  Thus, the final IP addresses are set to (192, 168, 0, 0) to (192, 168, 0, 4) for the transmission devices 1a to 1e, and the display device 2a is set to (192, 168, 0, 4). 100), the display device 2b is set to (192, 168, 0, 101).

  As described above, in the railway vehicle transmission system according to the present embodiment, the IP address of the electrical product (display devices 2a and 2b) can be automatically assigned to the same predetermined address every time, and the IP address is set when the electrical product is replaced. Can be omitted, and a network can be quickly constructed. In this embodiment, since a general DHCP is used for setting the IP address of an electrical product, a two-step confirmation method is used. However, a one-stage confirmation method may be used, and an IP address may be transmitted from the transmission apparatus 1 side. The method of specifying can be used.

(Second Embodiment)
A railcar transmission system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, in the railway vehicle transmission system of the present embodiment, the transmission device 1 includes two-port trunk transmission transmitters 5a and 5b, two-port trunk transmission receivers 6a and 6b, and data transmission / reception of the own car. Transmitter / receiver 7a, transmission station 8, transmitter / receiver 7b for transmission with the display device 2 as an electrical product, and address conversion device for checking and converting IP addresses in transmission / reception data from the display device 2 as an electrical product 14. It is comprised from the transmission repeater control apparatus 4 which controls each transmission / reception apparatus.

  In the present embodiment, the electric device is described as the display device 2, but other devices may be used. In this embodiment, a single electrical product is described, but more may be used. In that case, the number of transceivers 7b increases. In the railway vehicle transmission system of the present embodiment, the private address class C of IPV4 is used as the transmission station address. However, class B or class A may be used, or IPV6 or the like is used. May be.

  Next, the operation of the railway transmission system of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, in the initial state when the power is turned on, the transmission apparatuses 1a to 1e have IP addresses (192, 168, 0, 0) to (192, 168, 0, 4). On the other hand, the display devices 2a and 2b are in their default state (192, 168, 1, 255). At this time, since the address conversion devices 14a and 14e in the transmission device 1a and the transmission device 1e are not set, no address conversion is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 13, first, the transmission repeater control device 4a of the transmission device 1a gives the IP address (192, 168, 1, 255) to the address conversion device 14 of the transmission device 1a (192, 168, 0). , 100) is issued. Similarly, the transmission repeater control device 4e of the transmission device 1e converts the IP address (192, 168, 1, 255) into (192, 168, 0, 101) for the address conversion device 14e of the transmission device 1e. Issue a directive.

  How the transmission data (addressed to the transmission device 1e) from the display device 2a flows in the network will be described with reference to FIG. Since the IP address of the display device 2a is (192, 168, 1,255), the transmission data A of the display device 2a is the source IP address = 192, 168, 1,255, the destination IP address = 192, 168. , 0,4. The address conversion device 14a of the transmission device 1a that has received the transmission data A checks the transmission source IP address of the reception data A. When the address matches the address instructed from the transmission repeater control device 4a, the source IP address is converted. Since the transmission data A match, the transmission data A ′ output from the address translation device 14a is the transmission source IP address = 192, 168, 0, 100, the destination IP address = 192, 168, 0, 4, The target transmission device 1e (IP address = 192, 169, 0, 4) is reached via the transmission devices 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d. The transmission device 1e determines that the data is from the display device 2a because the transmission source IP address = 192, 168, 0, 100.

  Next, how the transmission data B from the transmission device 1e to the display device 2a flows in the network will be described with reference to FIG. The transmission data B from the transmission device 1e (IP address = 192, 168, 0, 4) is transmitted from the transmission device 1d as the transmission source IP address = 192, 168, 0, 4 and the destination IP address = 192, 168, 0, 100. And the address translation device 14e. The address translation device 14e that has received the transmission data B checks the destination IP address and sends it to the display device 2b as it is because it is different from the addresses 192, 168, 0, 101 that it translates. Since the display device 2b that has received the transmission data B is different from its own IP address = 192,168,1,255, this data is not adopted. The transmission data B that has flowed to the transmission device 1d side reaches the address conversion device 14a of the transmission device 1a via the transmission devices 1d, 1c, and 1b. The address translation device 14a checks the transmission destination IP address of the received data B and matches the IP address (192, 168, 0, 100) that it translates, so that the destination IP address is (192, 168, 1, 255), and the converted transmission data B 'is sent to the display device 2a. Since the destination IP address of the received data B ′ matches the own IP address = 192, 168, 1, 255, the display device 2a adopts this data.

  In the railway vehicle transmission system of the present embodiment configured as described above, even if the IP address of the electrical product (display devices 2a and 2b) remains the same, the address conversion device 14 in the transmission device 1 transmits the transmission source or By converting the destination IP address, the uniqueness of the address can be maintained on the data flowing through the network. Further, since the display devices 2a and 2b have only one type of IP address, it is possible to omit the IP address setting at the time of replacement of the electrical product. Thereby, in the transmission system for rail vehicles of this Embodiment, redundancy is high and a network can be constructed | assembled rapidly.
