– 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.

Siemens for train control.

tions are possible (e.g. TBL1+, ZBS).

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

The Trainguard 200 RBC (radio block center) transmits all

the information required for safe train operation within a
particular line section by radio from the interlocking to the
train. This information is indicated on the cab display. For
data transmission, the digital Global System for Mobile
