Definitions

the invention relates to a method for identifying a failure of a control device of a railway vehicle.
the invention also relates to a control device for a railway vehicle and a railway vehicle comprising this control device.
control devices comprising a driving manipulator, for example to control a traction chain or a braking system of the railway vehicle.
This driving manipulator comprises a movable part displaceable by a driver of the railway vehicle and whose angular position is measured by means of position sensors. The position measured by the position sensors is then transmitted to other equipment of the rail vehicle so as to control it.
the document DE-A-10 2010 045731 discloses a method of identifying a failure of a control device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a control device according to the preamble of claim 5.
the demand US-2006/0044269-A1 discloses a driving manipulator having two Hall effect sensors mounted redundantly.
a supervisory unit is programmed to detect a failure of these sensors and to identify the faulty sensor. This identification is performed by comparing the values measured by each position sensor with a predetermined range of values associated with this position sensor. The sensor is said to fail when the position values it measures are outside this range.
the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a method of identifying a failure of a control device of a railway vehicle that is simpler to implement and does not require prior calibration of the position sensor.
the identification of the faulty sensor is achieved by comparing the measured positions at the expiration of the calculated delay with the target position, this identification is feasible without the need for specific knowledge on the operation of the position sensor, and in particular without needing to calibrate it beforehand.
the invention also relates to a railway vehicle comprising a control device adapted to control an equipment of the railway vehicle, the control device being according to the invention.
the figure 1 represents a railway vehicle 2 provided with a control device 4.
the railway vehicle 2 is a passenger train or an urban transport vehicle such as a metro or a tramway.
the control device 4 is adapted to control the operation of one or more equipment, called “controlled equipment", of the railway vehicle 2.
the control device 4 controls equipment such as a power train and / or a rail vehicle braking system 2.
the control device 4 comprises a pipe manipulator 6, provided with a movable portion 8 and a fixed portion 10.
the movable portion 8 is pivotable relative to the fixed portion 10 about an axis of articulation X1.
the movable portion 8 is intended to be moved by a driver of the railway vehicle 2 and advantageously has a shape of handle adapted to be taken in hand.
the driving manipulator 6 is installed in a control cabin of the railway vehicle 2.
the pipe manipulator 6 also comprises two position sensors, each adapted to measure the position of the pipe manipulator 6, that is to say the angular position of the movable part 8 with respect to the fixed part 10.
the position sensors are mechanically coupled to the movable part 8.
the position of the pipe manipulator 6 is quantized by an angular position value, that is to say an angle of rotation between the movable part 8 with respect to a reference position about the axis of articulation X1 .
the position sensors are two in number and carry the numerals 12 and 14.
the position sensors 12 and 14 are arranged redundantly, that is to say they are each able to measure, independently of one another, the position of the driving manipulator 6. In a state of normal operation, the position sensors 12 and 14 measure the same position of the driving manipulator 6 at each moment.
the position sensors 12 and 14 are rotary encoders.
the position sensors 12 and 14 are identical.
the position sensors 12 and 14 are electrically connected to a supervision unit 18 of the control device 4, here each by means of a wired link 16.
the wired link 16 is a RS422 type serial link.
the connection between the position sensors 12 and 14 and the supervision unit 18 is performed with so-called inverted signals.
the supervision unit 18 is configured to collect position values measured by each of the position sensors 12 and 14 and to transmit these position values to the equipment of the railway vehicle 2 controlled by the control device 4.
the supervision unit 18 comprises a programmable logic calculation module 20, such as a programmable microcontroller and a network interface 22.
the network interface 22 is connected to a common data bus 24 of the railway vehicle 2.
the data bus 24 is an Ethernet type computer network.
the bus 24 may be different, such as a fieldbus, for example of the CAN type.
the data bus 24 is connected to equipment of the railway vehicle 2, and in particular to the equipment or equipment controlled by the control device 4, so as to transmit to them the position values measured by the position sensors 12 and 14.
the equipment controlled by the control device 4 here bears the reference 28.
the data bus 24 is connected to a display terminal 26 adapted to display information to the driver of the railway vehicle 2.
the display terminal 26 has a bright screen. It may alternatively be integrated within an on-board computer of a steering console of the railway vehicle 2.
the supervision unit 18 is also programmed to identify a failure of the control device 4, and in particular a failure of one of the position sensors 12 or 14.
the supervisory unit 18 is provided with an information recording medium, such as a computer memory, containing instructions adapted to implement a method of identifying a failure, when these instructions are executed by the calculation module 20.
an information recording medium such as a computer memory
the supervision unit 18 is located remote from the driving manipulator 6.
the figure 2 describes an example of operation of the control device 4 to identify a failure of the control device 4.
the controller 4 is in a normal operating state, in which the position sensors 12 or 14 operate normally.
the position values returned by each of the sensors 12 and 14 are identical and correspond to the angular position of the mobile part 8 of the driving manipulator 6.
the position value measured by the position sensors 12 and 14 changes as the mobile part 8 is displaced relative to the fixed part 10 by a driver of the railway vehicle 2.
step 30 one of the position sensors 12 and 14 fails and stops functioning normally.
the position value measured by this position sensor no longer really reflects the position of the moving part 8. Such a situation is contrary to the operational safety of the railway vehicle 2.
the supervision unit 18 automatically detects the malfunction among the position sensors 12 and 14, by detecting that the position values measured by these position sensors 12 and 14 are different from each other. .
position values differ by more than 10% or more than 20% between them.
the supervision unit 18, and more particularly the calculation module 20 automatically calculates a target position of the driving manipulator 6 and a predetermined delay.
the target position is an angular position value to be taken by the moving part 8 with respect to the reference position.
the target position is randomly chosen from among all the positions that the mobile part 8 can take.
the target position is distinct from the current position of the mobile part 8.
the target position is randomly selected from a set of predefined positions of the movable part 8, for example predefined functional positions such as a maximum traction position, a neutral position, a maximum braking position or a position of emergency braking.
These functional positions are advantageously marked on the driving manipulator 6, for example on the fixed part 10, by means of dedicated marks or markers, so that they are known to the driver of the railway vehicle 2.
the supervision unit 18 controls the display, on the display terminal 26, of an instruction to move the driving manipulator 6 to the calculated target position.
the supervision unit 18 also controls the display on the display terminal 26, of the predetermined delay which has been calculated so that the driver of the railway vehicle 2 moves the driving manipulator 6 to the target position calculated before the expiration of the predetermined period.
the display is performed by sending a display control signal via the data bus 24 to a control interface of the display terminal 26.
the display control signal is sent to this on-board computer.
the supervision unit 18 counts the predetermined delay.
the supervision unit 18 acquires the position values measured by each of the two position sensors 12 and 14 and then compares these measured positions with the previously calculated target position.
the corresponding position sensor that is to say the position sensor of which the measured position value corresponds to the target position
the position sensor of the measured position is different from the target position, here the position sensor 12, is deemed to be faulty, that is to say that it is identified as being faulty by the supervisory unit 18.
“corresponds to the target position” means that the measured position value is equal to the value of the target position, for example to within 5% or, preferably, to 2% near.
the faulty position sensor 12 is inhibited by the supervision unit 18.
the supervision unit 18 when it receives the position values measured by the faulty position sensor 12, no longer transmits these position values on the data bus 24 to the equipment 28 of the railway vehicle 2 driven by this control device.
control device 4 the reliability of the control device 4 is improved. Thanks to this, the control device 4, and thus the railway vehicle 2, can continue to operate despite the failure of the position sensor 12.
the method can start again in step 34 and the supervision unit 18 again controls the display, on the display terminal 26, an instruction to move the line manipulator 6 to the calculated target position .
a new target position can be calculated. The same goes for the predetermined time. Step 36 is then executed again.
the supervision unit 18 commands the display of an alert or warning message on the display terminal 26, so as to inform the driver of the vehicle 2.
the supervision unit 18 triggers a passage of the control device 4 to a so-called security mode, by emitting an alarm signal on the bus of common data 24.
This alarm signal is for example received by the equipment 28 controlled by the control device 4.
the alarm signal sent on the data bus 24 commands maximum service braking or 2.
this alarm signal transmitted on the data bus 24 is received by a control and train management system, known by the acronym TCMS for "Train Control and Management System". "For further processing by a rail vehicle maintenance management system 2.
the control device 4 may comprise more than two position sensors 12 and 14. In this case, the method is modified accordingly.
the position values measured by each of the position sensors are all compared to the target position.
Several position sensors can then be identified as faulty or, conversely, identified as functional.
the position sensor or sensors whose measured position corresponds to the target position are identified as functional, while the position sensor or sensors whose measured position is different from the target position are deemed to be faulty.
