Control engineering and instrumentation and control
Total control the entire way
The railway system is a fascinating network. Nothing works without precision control systems. With comprehensive inspections, TÜV NORD ensures that the technology functions safely and reliably.
Control engineering and instrumentation and control play a dominant role in all areas of railway technology and rail operations. They coordinate both the planning and monitoring of train movements and the train movement itself. A particular challenge is the ever greater networking of the systems, with the resulting increasing degree of automation within rail operations.
Using control engineering and instrumentation and control systems always requires the deployment of software. For this software, no safety certificate is possible using the established test procedures because no computerized process exists. Hence, no functional safety certification is required for control engineering and instrumentation and control systems. In addition to certifying the correct functioning of the systems, this is also oriented on the safety-resilient processes in development, construction and production. The certification of the functional safety comprehensively certifies the safety required for the railway system.
