New Product Bulletin
Now for the First Time, the
OCTOPUS Train-BP has
Uplink Ports with Bypass
Relay. It Therefore Fulfills
the Extremely Demanding
Requirements for Use in
Ethernet Consist Networks
of Trains (IEC 61375-3-4
Draft Standard, Redundancy
Level 3).
•
Uplink ports with bypass relays allow
reliable and secure connection of
terminals to the backbone of trains
•
Suitable as a Consist Switch in accordance
with the IEC 61375-3-4 draft standard
for maximum reliability of data communi-
cation in trains
•
Rail-specific EMC and fire safety
approvals ensure optimum operational
reliability
The new OCTOPUS Train-BP offers maximum
future-proof onboard data communication
for trains. Thanks to its two uplink ports with
bypass relay and rail-specific approvals, it
fulfills the requirements for switches for
Ethernet Consist Networks in accordance
with the IEC 61375-3-4 draft standard. The
bypass relay allows network topologies,
which ensure that communication between
all devices is maintained despite duplicate
faults – even in the actual switches. With
each OCTOPUS Train-BP, which can also
be seamlessly integrated into Profinet and
EtherNet/IP environments, up to 22 terminals
can be connected to a train segment network
and linked securely to the backbone. In addi-
tion, thanks to comprehensive management
functions and maximum operational reliability,
neither water nor dust nor extreme tempera-
tures nor excessive vibration can harm the
OCTOPUS Train-BP.
Applications
The OCTOPUS Train-BP enables future-proof
solutions for secure data communication in
trains via Ethernet. Thanks to uplink ports
with bypass relay, the connection between
adjacent switches can be maintained even if
an OCTOPUS fails – for example because of
a power supply failure. Thanks to this fault-
tolerant network design, a variety of applica-
tions can be realized, which reliably offer
passengers high levels of comfort. This
includes, for example, up-to-date display
of reachable connecting trains.
Your Benefits
The OCTOPUS Train-BP managed switch
enables implementation of Ethernet Consist
Networks, which offer optimum reliability for
data communication in trains. Uplink ports
with bypass relay are now available to you for
the first time, meaning that communication
between adjacent switches is not interrupted
even if an OCTOPUS fails. You can reliably
connect terminals to the backbone with these
switches – even in the event of duplicate
faults in the network. Moreover, the OCTOPUS
Train-BP also fulfills the stringent EMC and
fire safety requirements of the European
standards that govern use in rail vehicles.
Even water, dust, heat, cold or vibrations do
not cause problems. In short: this switch guar-
antees you maximum operational reliability.

Hirschmann™ OCTOPUS Train-BP
The OCTOPUS Train-BP comes with 8, 16 or 24 Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 BASE-TX), two
of which are used as uplinks and have a bypass relay. The fast switchover times provided by
additional redundancy protocols, such as MRP, HIPER Ring and RSTP, guarantee a high level
of network availability. Rail-specific approvals combine with IP67 protection, an extended
temperature range from -40°C to +70°C, vibration-resistant M12 connectors and a redundant
power supply to ensure maximum operational reliability. Numerous security mechanisms also
offer maximum protection from network attacks. Last but not least, the OCTOPUS Train-BP,
which has a compact metal housing for wall mounting, can be commissioned quickly and
monitored conveniently thanks to extensive management functions.
