CiA® 423 series: CANopen application profile for rail vehicle power drive systems

The CANopen application profiles CiA 423 and CiA 430 specify the CANopen interfaces of virtual devices (functional units) that may be required for controlling the diesel engine (power drive) and the accompanying auxiliary units for e.g., power train cooling or pre-heating. The different virtual devices, which are defined in CiA 423, are illustrated in the Figure. The diesel engine control unit operates the diesel engine according to the commands received by the traction controller. The CANopen profile offers the possibility to control the diesel engine by means of a speed-, power-, or torque demand-value. The diesel engine sensor unit provides the sensor values, which are required for a safe and correct engine operation. All measured analog values such as engine oil pressure, charge air temperature, coolant level, etc. are represented in a harmonized data format, in data type signed Integer 32. This offers the possibility to represent all analog values with the same SI unit in the same resolution without further offset calculation. Further, the CANopen application profile defines virtual devices for transmission control, particle filter control, oil refill unit control as well as vehicle speed control.

In addition, the closely coupled auxiliary operating system (CiA 430) is defined, which enables the standardized control of the engine cooling equipment or the generator unit. Moreover, the communication interfaces of these two systems (CiA 423 and CiA 430) to the train vehicle control network (CiA 421) are specified. This enables the diesel engine control unit to demand e.g., the required engine cooling in a standardized way. The CiA 430 application profile specifies the following units:

  1. Auxiliary operating system controller
  2. Power train cooling control unit
  3. Coolant expansion tank unit
  4. Power train cooling fan control unit
  5. Engine pre-heating unit
  6. Hydrostatic signal interface unit
  7. Battery charger unit
  8. Generator unit
