Abstract
A feedthrough housing, used in the railway sector, is provided wherein the feedthrough housing has at least one plug-in interface, which has plug connector modules, wherein the plug-in interface additionally has at least two sensors, a first sensor and a second sensor, wherein the feedthrough housing has a sensor box, which has at least two sensors, a third sensor and a fourth sensor. In the method for integrated monitoring of a plurality of plug-in interfaces of the railcars of a train: a) first data from a plurality of sensors are generated by each of the plug-in interfaces, b) wherein the first data generated at each plug-in interface are transmitted to a sensor box connected for data transfer to the plug-in interface, c) wherein second data are generated by the sensors of the sensor box, d) wherein the first and the second data are transmitted together from the sensor box via a switch infrastructure to a central evaluation unit and/or to a central monitoring station, and e) wherein a digital twin of the train comprising a plurality of railcars is calculated from the first and second data by the central evaluation unit and/or by the central monitoring station.
