9/27/24, 1:21 PM Innotrans 2024: HIMA Presents Smart Solutions For The Digital Railway
taking a different approach with the Independent Open Safety Platform. For example, the
company is integrating the RaSTA protocol (Rail Safe Transport Application) into its safety

solutions to enable a future-proof EULYNX implementation. This technology makes it possible
to integrate the Standard Communication Interface (SCI) into the application programme of

HIMA safety controllers independently of the EULYNX baseline used - creating flexibility for
railway operators.

Railway Electrification

The safe and fast control of electrical circuits is a fundamental task in the railway industry.
However, the effort involved is often very high. With the acquisition of Sella Controls, HIMA

has further strengthened its portfolio, particularly in the field of railway electrification. The
innovative solutions enable the control and safety-critical shutdown of the traction power
supply and thus ensure the efficient and safe operation of energy management systems. At

InnoTrans, the company will be showcasing solutions for traction power control, such as

'Conventional operational control' and 'Safety-critical shutdown' which will be illustrated using
practical examples. Both solutions utilise TrackLink® SCADA and help avoid operational
failures and ensure the energy infrastructure remains robust even under demanding

conditions.

Rail Control System
HIMA's Rail Control Solutions provide intelligent automation for critical railway infrastructure

such as interlockings, level crossings, and depots. These systems are designed to ensure
safe control and optimised operation, reduce human error and increase the system's overall

efficiency. By using state-of-the-art automation technology, the safety experts help railway
operators meet the challenges of a digital world while maintaining the highest safety

standards. At InnoTrans the electronic interlocking solution based on the HIMA Open Safety
Platform will be demonstrated. Using a practical example with the depot simulator system,

visitors can experience a SIL 4 interlocking system of a fully controlled and signalled depot.

Mobile Solutions for Safety on the Road
The company's mobile solutions guarantee the safety and functionality of onboard

applications and ensure that railway vehicles can be operated safely in different
environments. For example, the functionality of the TrackLink 3 solution suite will be
demonstrated, which ensures reliability and efficiency for many onboard applications and

makes rail transport safer for operators and passengers. HIMA's TrackLink Overspeed

Prevention System is a world innovation delivering the first and only SIL 2-certified overspeed
prevention system for tramways.
