Trainguard Trackside en

Siemens provides the Trainguard Eurobalise S21 and S22, which are compact balises used for transmitting essential train control and location data along railway tracks as part of the European Train Control System (ETCS). The balises can operate as either fixed balises with permanently stored data or transparent balises controlled by a lineside electronic unit. They are programmed contactlessly using a handheld unit and reliably transmit data to passing trains at speeds up to 500 km/h. The balises help ensure interoperability and efficient mobility across European railway networks.

– central modules for ETCS
Ensuring mobility is one of the major challenges facing our society. In
order to stay mobile in the future, we need internationally networked
transportation and information systems. Only if all modes of transport are
properly matched and optimally interoperate, can our mobility require-
ments be mastered. With “Complete mobility”, Siemens is therefore
creating integrated transportation and logistics solutions – for safe,
economical and environmentally friendly passenger and cargo services.

The Trainguard MiniLEU S15 can be used to


upgrade a line already equipped with a national
train protection system to L1 LS. The existing train
protection systems (e.g. track magnets) can
remain on the track and are supplemented by a The Trainguard MiniLEU S15 connects the Train-

MiniLEU S15 via the PZB contacts and generates a
pointer which, in turn, activates one of the config-
ured telegrams per balise output and transmits it
to the transparent balise(s), thus ensuring a
minimum need for modification.

The Trainguard MiniLEU S15 offers the fast,


cost-optimized conversion of transmission points
and considerably reduces installation and cabling
costs due to an integrated contact multiplier for
the control of PZB magnets and earth-leakage
monitoring of the PZB cables.

Benefits

Compliance with European standards

Simplification of signal-interlocking configuration

Reduction of the scope of equipment along the track

Migration of the existing national systems to ETCS

Further usage of existing outdoor equipment

Very low power consumption

Possibility of autonomous solar power supply

Low life-cycle costs

maintenance
• extremely high mean time between failures

would be incurred in the event of a failure
