Introduction
The Fjernbane Infrastructure System will in many locations connect with legacy station
Interlocking or line block systems, temporarily or permanently. This attachment explains
the functionality to support traffic entering and exiting the ETCS area
This attachment provides a functional overview of the interfaces that are expected to
become relevant for temporary and permanent borders between ETCS and non-ETCS
areas..
Please observe that illustrations of transition areas are examples only. Actual locations
and numbers of signals, ATC-Balises, ETCS-Balises and Marker boards may change
depending on detailed solutions.

Interface Descriptions
3.1
Line Block with Direction Control
This section applies to situations where the Fjernbane Infrastructure System connects to a
legacy line block system with the property that the line block system defines a direction
of traffic prior to a route being locked towards the open line.
Expected line block systems relevant for temporary and permanent installations are:
-
3.1.1
Banedanmark types 1951, 1954, 1977, 1982 and 1994
DB line block type Alcatel MC L84-N.
Line Block Types 1951 and 1954
These line block systems are equipped for non-symmetric running on double track lines.
Normal operation is right-hand running with a number of intermediate block signals. A
track can be switched into left-hand running with no (or few) intermediate block signals.

The generic interface is defined by Banedanmark standard DN679Q0620 and local
installation Documentation. The interface assumes certain functions to be supported by
the adjacent Station Interlocking System. To avoid unnecessary functionality in the
Fjernbane Infrastructure System, the interface is re-arranged by a relay adaptation so that
- All operation of the line block is through existing TMS.
- All signals and ATC Balises are controlled by the line block system.
- All necessary Track Circuits are maintained and controlled by the line block
system.
Further, the last block signal before the system border is adapted to showing “one green”
only, while ATC Balise functions “2 green” and “3 green” reading into the ETCS area are
maintained as necessary.

DB Line Block Type Alcatel MC L84-N
This line block system has functionality similar to type 1957 (refer to section 3.3.2). The
system relies less on functions of the adjacent Station Interlocking, and is thus expected
to generally adhere to the concept of full control by TMS.
The relay adaptation and the exact number of information channels are to be decided in

Line Block Type 1960
This line block system is equipped for single track line. Normal state is no defined
running direction. When an exit route is locked, the line block is allocated for this running
direction and opposing exit route is blocked.

The generic interface is defined by Banedanmark manual “Elektriske Sikringsanlæg” and
