Abstract

In this paper we present a new architecture for slave node of a train communication system based on the standard TCN (train communication network). This node is used to interconnect different electronic equipment based on the MVB (multifunction vehicle bus). The architecture is based on a microcontroller for the link and network layers, and a PLD for the implementation of the physical layer
