ObjectController

Relynx Object Controller

A straightforward solution how to handle the communication between a field element and the interlocking. The controller has been designed with EULYNX as its core, and it has been implemented trough modern software and hardware.

Why to use EULYNX - compatible object controller?

Interoperability and cost savings

Relynx Object Controller implementation is based on RaSTA and EULYNX railway communication standards. This ensures the safety and integrity of the signalling system and future compatibility for decades.

Separated information transmission to long distance objects

The distance between interlocking and field elements does not matter because the communication is digital with an optical link. The elements are interchangeable through open, standardized communication interfaces.

Increased safety, reliability and maintainability

Relynx Object Controller follows EULYNX reference network architecture and EN50159. The signaling control can be made redundant for increased reliability. Also, improved diagnostic options are available through EULYNX standard interfaces.

Relynx Object Controller benefits

Unique object controller architecture

Relesoft Redundancy Platform ensures that higher levels of SIL are certifiable. Reliability is secured by using redundant CPUs inside object controllers.

Easy setup and comissioning

It is easy to install and configure a new element in a safe and validated manner. Just connect a cable on both ends and provide element configuration through service network or USB.

Access to source code

Does vendor lock worry you as a manufacturer? Don't panic since we give you the source code, standard documents and installation media.

For embedded trackside elements

Want to integrate EULYNX compatible object controller as part of your SIL certified product? Consider following requirements:

• EN50128

• EN50129

• Elementwise I/O configuration

Example deployment: Level Crossing

Using EULYNX - compatible object controller enables the following:

• Level crossing communicates with EULYNX SCI-LX to nearest interlocking

• Optical link will be used for data link. Generic power network will be used for input power.

• The EULYNX ensures safety and a stable interface for other systems to connect to.

• The interlocking has been separated from other parts of the architechture.

• CPU (central processing unit) redundancy ensures safety in cases of hardware failures.

Open and transparent software product

We can utilize your own resources to update and configure the product during its life cycle, in addition to our own development and maintenance services. For example, when network topology changes or other components are renewed in the total configuration. This is done through Relesoft Source Code Open Protocol (SCOP), which provides access to validate, verify and modify Object Controllers. You have the freedom to operate when needed without a risk of vendor-lock. We are happy to help you. However, you are not stuck with us at Relesoft.

Secure, simple and modern

Centralization is an ongoing trend in the traffic control and many networks are planning to consolidate control into cloud interlockings or centralized interlockings. We at Relesoft see that there is space and many reasons to apply a distributed model during the transition period. Smart asset managers are focusing to ensure the flexibility to carry out the centralization when it is topical. Relynx Object Controller enables this centralization in a smooth and hassle-free manner.
