9/27/24, 1:22 PM PRESSR: HIMA presents smart solutions for the digital railway — TradingView News
Chris Elliott, Global Head of Rail comments: ‘At InnoTrans, we are

presenting holistic solutions based on our Independent Open Safety

Platform, which avoids being tied to proprietary systems.’

The technologies will be presented in show cases under the motto

#safetygoesdigital, providing an in-depth insight into the latest

technologies and innovations that are shaping the future of rail transport.

Independent Open HIMA Safety Platform

Proprietary solutions not only lead to dependencies, but can also drive up

costs. HIMA is 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.
