Compliant to 49 CFR § 229.15 and Subpart E
-
Patented dynamic speed control
-
Compatible with Tasverii™ locomotive analytics software
-
Compatible with Cattron's OCU-III
- Single closure for reduced space requirements inside the cab
OCU-III
Feature-rich controller 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
Brake Pipe Charge
Allows the operator to charge train cars with increased fault tolerance. The system allows the operator to increase the throttle automatically to allow for the increase in demand of the main reservoir air pressure
Dynamic Speed Control
Cattron's patented speed control system streamlines the complexities of throttle and brake manipulation to maintain the selected speed regardless of track grade or train mass
Internal Archive Record
Logs hundreds of system events, remote control data points and manual mode data to be used for system monitoring and troubleshooting
Tilt Detection w/ Man-Down Radio Broadcast
If the controller is tilted beyond a certain threshold for a predefined period of time, the system goes into an emergency penalty
Wheel Slip Detection
Monitors existing locomotive wheel slip circuits to prevent wheel and track damage. The system automatically decrements the throttle command while the locomotive circuitry works in conjunction with the system to stop wheel slip
Vigilance Protection
Requires the operator to refresh critical commands during commanded movement and will initiate a safe stop after 60 seconds without critical updates
Direction of Movement Protection
Monitors the movement of the locomotive axle to ensure that the locomotive moves in the direction being requested and stops the locomotive if it rolls or moves in the wrong direction
Train Brake Cycle Braking Protection
Protects against operator misuse of the train brake
Tasverii™
Compatible with Tasverii locomotive analytics software
Warranty
Standard one-year product warranty
Remote Display Option
Provides a small user interface in the cab for remote control operator interaction
Maintenance Terminal PC Tool
Provides monitoring, configuration, archive record access and maintenance information between a PC and the RCL system
Remote 4G Connectivity
Permits the user to connect to the RCL equipment remotely through an internet connection
Hump Control
Provides the hardware and firmware functionality to operate the RCL system in locomotive excitation control mode, ideal for slow speed operations
Pullback and Stopping Protection
Enforces a stopping trajectory to permit automatic point protection, can also optionally automate grade crossing rules
Extended Operating Range
Range can be extended through the installation of RF repeaters
Language Support
Supports English, Korean and Chinese languages with additional languages possible
