Embodiment Construction

[0009] Referring to the drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, figure 1 An end of train (EOT) system 10 is shown, implemented in conjunction with an electro-pneumatic (ECP) rail car 12 that may be configured to operate in an EOT device mode. The ECP car 12 is associated with a selection device 14 that can be used to manually or electronically select the EOT device mode for the ECP car 12 . More specifically, the selection using the EOT function of the selection device 14 is detected by the input / output (I / O) train tail module 16 , which is identified with the car control device (CCD) 18 of the ECP car 12 and rail car specific The module (IDM) 20 communicates. In accordance with the present invention, the I / O module is programmed to establish the transmission of EOT status messages (referred to as EOT beacons) from the ECP car 12 to the head end unit (HEU) of the train and to establish the "A" side inter-car ECP train Either the line communication net...

Abstract

A system that allows an electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) railcar to be optionally selected as the ECP End of Train (EOT) device when that car is positioned at the end of a train regardless of its physical orientation. This eliminates the requirement to use and install a traditional End of Train (EOT) device at the end of an ECP train while maintaining the same train integrity monitoring functionality that is typically provided for train brake-in- two detection and closed cut-out cock detection. The system also eliminates the requirement for a dedicated EOT device at the end of the train for ECP "RUN" Mode operation, and allows any ECP car to function normally as part of the train or act as the EOT device when selected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to train tail functionality, and more particularly, to a system and method for providing train tail functionality in an electro-pneumatic rail car. Background technique [0002] A traditional End of Train (EOT) device is an electronic device installed on the last rail car of a train that monitors and provides information such as the status of the braking system to the Head End Unit (HEU) at the front of the train. Conventional EOT devices are powered by batteries, which must be fully charged at train departure and during route travel. As a result, both EOT devices and batteries are vulnerable to installation errors and equipment failures, increasing maintenance costs, disrupting train operations, and causing schedule delays. Therefore, there is a need in the art for a system that can provide EOT functionality without the need for dedicated EOT devices, thereby reducing maintenance costs and the risk of delays due to EOT d...
