METHOD FOR REPLACING A SIGNAL BOX, CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRONIC SIGNAL BOX, HAVING A RELAY INTERFACE INPUT/OUTPUT WITH A FURTHER ELECTRONIC SIGNAL BOX HAVING AT LEAST ONE DATABUS INPUT/OUTPUT, AND ELECTRONIC SIGNAL BOX

摘要

In order to be able to replace a signal box, connected to an electronic signal box, in relay engineering with a further electronic signal box in time-saving fashion, the one electronic signal box used is an electronic signal box (1) having such generic functionality for its inputs/outputs (2, 3) that setting up a databus connection between the databus input/output (7) of the further electronic signal box (6) and the databus input/output (3) of the one electronic signal box (1) involves the databus input/output (3) of this one electronic signal box (1) being activated and the relay interface input/output (2) thereof being deactivated, and interruption of the databus connection involves the databus input/output (3) of the one electronic signal box (1) being deactivated and the relay interface input/output (2) thereof being activated. The invention also relates to an electronic signal box.
