The LCS-III is a locomotive control system that builds upon the proven features of Accuspeed™ and Beltpack™ systems. It enables operators to safely control the locomotive via two-way RF communication. The system continually applies the right amount of throttle or brake to maintain the selected speed regardless of track grade or train mass while the operator focuses on train movements, track conditions and personal safety. LCS-III is designed for FRA-regulated railroad operations in the Americas and offers a technology stack that supports the future possibilities of remote control and automation in the railyard.
Feature-rich operator control unit that includes an embedded GNSS location, a patented method for pushing OCU positional data to the RCL system, Bluetooth link to the internal archive record and a Wi-Fi port to accommodate future expansion
Provides monitoring, configuration, Archive Record access and maintenance information either directly between a PC and the RCL system or through RemoteIQ™ for Rail
