This part of IEC 61375 applies to data communication in Open Trains, i.e. it covers data
communication between vehicles of the said open trains and data communication within the
vehicles of the said open trains.
The applicability of this standard to the train communication bus (WTB) allows for
interoperability of individual vehicles within Open Trains in international traffic. The data
communication bus inside vehicles (MVB) is given as recommended solution to cope with the
said TCN. In any case, proof of compatibility between WTB and a proposed vehicle bus will
have to be brought by the supplier.
This standard may be additionally applicable to closed trains and multiple unit trains when so
agreed between purchaser and supplier.
NOTE 1 For a definition of Open Trains, Multiple Unit Trains and Closed Trains, see 1.3.
NOTE 2 Road vehicles such as buses and trolley buses are not considered in this standard.
