The MVB interface of the D217 complies the TCN standard IEC 61375. It is available for all wire based physical layers being on the market today:

ESD+: This is the ESD as defined in the TCN standard, enhanced by a galvanic insulation (redundant MVB lines).
EMD: Transformer based interface (redundant MVB lines).

A Bus Administrator is available as an option.

It is de­signed for the harsh traction environment (-40°C to 70°C) and tested against EN 50155 / EN­ 50121.

The D217 is not recommended for new designs
