Abstract
For fault detection in a switch system including multiple switches, for a respective switch its operating data are acquired and transmitted to a central control. For a respective first switch of the switch system, a deviation of an operating behavior of the first switch from a set behavior is determined by the central control on the basis of its operating data. If there is a deviation, operating data of the first switch are compared with operating data of other, second switches of the switch system and, depending on that, a second switch with similar operating data is selected.
Claims14
A method for fault detection in a switch system that is distributed over at least one track route and comprises multiple switches, the method comprising:
- acquiring operating data of the switch concerned for the switches of the switch system, and transmitting the operating data to a central control;
- and
- b) for a respective first switch of the switch system,
- determining a deviation of an operating behavior of the first switch from a set behavior by the central control on a basis of the operating data of the first switch,
- if there is a deviation, comparing the operating data of the first switch with operating data of other, second switches of the switch system,
- depending on the results of the comparison, selecting a second switch with similar operating data,
- on the basis of the operating data of the selected second switch, deriving a fault indication for the first switch, and
- outputting the fault indication for the first switch.
