COMMUNICATION APPARATUS FOR ROLLING STOCK

摘要

A communication apparatus for rolling stock provided in rolling stock in which reliability of data transmission is enhanced by ensuring adaptability to a transmission channel of low signal quality. The communication apparatus for rolling stock comprises a node device (21) having converters (31-1, 31-2) performing mutual signal conversion between an HDLC signal flowing through an inter-vehicle network configured among the vehicles of the rolling stock and an Ethernet^® signal flowing through an intra-vehicle network configured in each vehicle, and having a switching hub (32) interposed between the converters (31-1, 31-2) and interconnecting them, and network controllers (22-1, 22-2) connected with the switching hub (32).
