Filed:

Jun 21, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/871382
Inventors:

Anthony W. Lumbis - Watertown NY, US
Gary S. Newton - Adams NY, US
Bryan M. McLaughlin - Watertown NY, US
Assignee:

New York Air Brake Corporation - Watertown NY
International Classification:

B60T013/00
US Classification:

303 7, 303 3
Abstract:

A method of setting an electropneumatic brake device on a rail car to a mode of operation includes applying a wake-up voltage on a trainline to each brake device connected to the trainline. A command signal is sent to each brake device to enter a requested mode of operation. An acknowledgement signal is received from each of the brake devices on the trainline, and a command signal is sent to each brake device to stop broadcasting.

International Classification:

G01R 31/00
B61K 7/12
US Classification:

324503, 246182 A
Abstract:

A trainline integrity locomotive test device is provided that is configured to provide conventionally provided End-Of-Train (EOT) functionality required for a single locomotive test as well as functionality necessary for troubleshooting electrical problems in trainline electrical conductors, wherein the trainline integrity locomotive test device includes a reduced number of components in comparison with a conventional EOT device. Additionally, the test device is provided in more compact, durable and robust form relative to conventional EOT devices. As part of the transmission of trainline integrity data from the test device to the Head-End-Unit, a communications heartbeat signal is substituted for brake pipe pressure conventionally detected by EOT devices, so as to provide an indication of data communication reliability.
