Abstract

Control unit for a fire protection system in a rail vehicle for monitoring and controlling fire detection and / or fire suppression in technical areas and passenger compartments of a rail vehicle, comprising: - a housing (4); - a processing unit arranged in the housing (4); - at least two Ethernet interfaces (20, 22) configured for dual-homing; - at least one interface for a bus for connecting fire protection system components in a loop architecture; wherein the housing (4) enables spatial and functional separation between safety-related (SIL) and non-safety-related (Non-SIL) areas, allowing safety-related and non-safety-related areas to be galvanically isolated by relays.
