Abstract (en)

A system for locally managing railway traffic in a railway station, comprising at least:- a field device installed in or operatively associated with the railway station;- a human-machine interface configured for displaying to an operator fail-safe information indicative of the current operative status of the field device and for outputting an instruction signal indicative of fail-safe instructions, inputted by an operator, to be executed by the field device;- a first control interface which is configured to acquire a first input signal indicative of the current operative status of the field device and to output towards the human-machine-interface a first output signal indicative of the current operative status of the field device to be displayed by the human-machine interface, the first control interface being further configured to output towards the field device, based on a fail-safe instruction inputted by said operator into the human-machine-interface, a command signal indicative of the inputted fail-safe instruction to be executed by the field device;- a first control system configured to execute a predefined first control logic and generate a first check signal based on the first output signal outputted by the first control interface towards the human-machine-interface or a second check signal based on the instruction signal outputted by the human machine interface;- a second control system configured to execute a predefined second control logic and generate a third check signal based on the first output signal outputted by the first control interface towards said human-machine-interface or a fourth check signal based on the instruction signal outputted by the human machine interface; and- a communication interface configured to output towards the first control interface a first confirmation signal enabling the first control interface to output towards the field device the command signal indicative of the fail-safe instruction to be executed by the device only if the second and fourth check signals are consistent to each other, and to output towards the human machine interface a second confirmation signal enabling the display by the human-machine interface of the actual status of the field device only if the first and third check signals are consistent to each other.
