摘要： An improved method is used to control the pressure in the brake pipe of a train. The train is equipped with an automatic brake handle, an equalizing reservoir, a brake pipe control device and a computer for controlling the control device according to position of the handle. The method involves the steps of: moving the handle to a point along its range of motion; and storing in the computer as a setpoint the value desired for the pressure in the brake pipe. At whichever point the handle occupies along its range of motion, there is a particular pressure setpoint corresponding thereto. The method next includes the steps of: directing the computer to command the control device to modify the actual pressure in the equalizing reservoir to the setpoint thereby also causing the actual brake pipe pressure to approach the setpoint. As the actual brake pipe pressure approaches the setpoint, the computer is directed to command the control device to adjust the actual equalizing reservoir pressure to a value slightly above (if desiring to increase brake pipe pressure) or below (if desiring to decrease brake pipe pressure) the setpoint until the actual brake pipe pressure reaches the setpoint. While monitoring the actual brake pipe pressure, the computer then commands the control device to adjust the actual equalizing reservoir pressure to maintain the actual brake pipe pressure at the setpoint corresponding to position of the brake handle.

摘要： An improved method is used to control the pressure in the IAR pipe of a train. The train is typically equipped with an independent brake handle, a control reservoir, an IAR control portion and a computer for controlling the IAR control portion generally according to position of the brake handle. The method involves the steps of: moving the brake handle to a point along its range of motion; and storing in the computer as a setpoint the value desired for the pressure within the IAR pipe. At whichever point the brake handle occupies along its range of motion, there is a particular pressure setpoint corresponding thereto. The method next includes the steps of: directing the computer to modify the actual pressure in the control reservoir to the setpoint thereby also causing the actual IAR pipe pressure to approach the setpoint. As the actual IAR pipe pressure approaches the setpoint, the computer is directed to adjust the actual control reservoir pressure to a value slightly above (if desiring to increase IAR pipe pressure) or below (if desiring to decrease IAR pipe pressure) the setpoint until the actual IAR pipe pressure reaches the setpoint. While monitoring the actual IAR pipe pressure, the computer then adjusts the actual control reservoir pressure to maintain the actual IAR pipe pressure at the setpoint corresponding to the position of the independent brake handle.

摘要： Method of operating an electronically controlled throttle controller between two modes of operation, including a transition between modes, includes powering up an electronics package and determining if a short term power out, a long term power out or a loss of CPU control in either short term or long term has occurred. The position of throttle, dynamic brake and reverser handles is compared with a previous mode of operation to determine current mode of operation. If it is determined that the throttle controller is in handle mode, the output signal to the trainlines is adjusted according to handle positions. Outputs of throttle, dynamic brake and reverser handles are set in the home position if an RMU command is received. A predetermined delay is imposed when outputs of the throttle, dynamic brake and reverser handles are in home position after positioning by an operator of the locomotive and before exiting a handle mode and entering an RMU mode of operation. If an RMU command is received by the throttle controller after the controller has exited from handle mode, then the output signals are adjusted to the trainlines.

摘要： A method of preventing movement of a locomotive while personnel are working on the locomotive. The method includes placing the brakes of the locomotive under the control of a card reading control box, and providing personnel employed to work on the locomotive with identification cards readable by the box. Each worker inserts his or her card in the box before working on the locomotive, and the control box reads the cards and in response thereto maintains the brakes of the locomotive at full service until personnel have left the locomotive and the control box is cleared by workers again inserting their cards in the box or by a master key in the position of an engineer/operator of a locomotive.

摘要： A system for electronically controlling brakes on a train through a double ended locomotive is disclosed. The electronic brake control system comprises a first cab station, a second cab station and a brake control device which communicates with each of the cab stations. The cab stations are interchangeable and operate in part according to algorithms set forth in software written for the instant cab stations. The brake control device likewise operates in part according to algorithms set forth in software written for the brake control device. The first cab station generates a first stream of signal packets indicative of parameters for operating the system and transmits same to the brake control device. The second cab station likewise generates a second stream of signal packets indicative of parameters for operating the system and transmits same to the brake control device. Each cab station generates and transmits its respective stream of signal packets one signal packet at a time. From these signal packets, the brake control device determines which of the cab stations will direct control of the train brakes according to basic rules set forth in the software. When the brake control device selects one of said cab stations to direct control of the brakes, the brake control device controls operation of the brakes in response to at least the stream of signal packets corresponding to the selected cab station.
