Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1953063A1] A field vital output device for directly interfacing a central control logic unit with at least one or more wayside units, such as relays, contacts, lamps and the like, which device comprises: at least one input for the control signals generated by the control logic unit; at least one output port for a wayside unit actuating signal, which port is and/or may be connected to said wayside unit; means for enabling/disabling said output port to transmit the wayside unit actuating signal; means for generating the wayside unit actuating output signal, which are connected to said output port; which control signals control the means for enabling/disabling the output port of the output device to allow/prevent transmission of the wayside unit actuating signal. The device further comprises: a switching element which sets the wayside actuating signal transmission enabled/disabed state of the port; electronics for detecting such state from the control imposed by the control logic unit, said output signal generating means being designed to be vitally disabled when the enabled/disabled state of said port does not correspond to the control condition imposed by the control logic.
