Sibas

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sibas (for Siemens Bahn Automation System ) refers to an automation system developed by Siemens since the mid-1980s for optimizing the performance of individual components with the help of microprocessors in rail vehicles. In 1983 the Sibas 16 system was introduced, which is mainly used in locomotives, for example in the 156 series . Its specialty is that, for the first time, almost all control tasks in the railroad environment can be processed with this system. In addition, it represents the first fully digital drive control for traction vehicles. Siemens has been supplying the Sibas 32 system with more powerful microprocessors since 1992. It is used in over 7000 vehicles worldwide, for example in the ICE 2, 3, -T and -TD , in the Shinkansen , Velaro and in various regional and local rail vehicles such as the SSB DT 8 .
