Method for monitoring and diagnosing components of a rail vehicle by means of an extensible evaluation software

摘要

The invention relates to a method for monitoring and diagnosing components (2, 4) of a rail vehicle, as a singular rail vehicle or as part of a rail vehicle train consisting of a plurality of rail vehicles, with regard to the necessary repair or maintenance, as appropriate, of at least one component (2, 4), in which at least one measuring device (6, 8) captures at least one measurement variable, which is relevant to an assessment of a necessary repair or maintenance, as appropriate, of the component (2, 4), an evaluation of the captured measurement variable with regard to a repair or maintenance of the affected component (2, 4), which is necessary immediately or in the future as appropriate, is carried out by an evaluation software implemented in an evaluation device (10, 12) arranged on board the rail vehicle or rail vehicle train, and, in the event that the evaluation device (10, 12) deems that it is necessary for a repair or maintenance of the corresponding component (2, 4) to be carried out immediately or in the future, a message (14, 16) in this respect is generated by the evaluation device (10, 12) and transmitted to a control center (28), which is located outside the rail vehicle (1) or outside the rail vehicle train. The invention is characterized by supplementation, extension, modification or adaptation of the evaluation software implemented in the evaluation device (10, 12) by means of instructions, data and/or software modules sent from the control center (28) to the evaluation device (10, 12).
