Locomotive Control Computer
For older locomotives, modernizing your fleet can significantly improve performance and reliability. Our control computer kit offers a straightforward upgrade that dramatically increases tractive effort; the power needed to pull heavy loads.
Our locomotive control computer is capable of handling all necessary inputs and outputs (IO). We have harnesses available that can let you adapt some current connectors directly into this upgraded system as well, simplifying installation. Each kit includes an intuitive touchscreen interface for easy management of alarms and clear, natural language error messages that simplify troubleshooting. Plus, full schematic diagrams are stored directly within the system, streamlining future maintenance and repairs.
The LCC can be used as a standalone kit with a display, connecting to your current configuration, or if you want to maximize the effectiveness and seamlessness of your locomotive, you can also pair it with our DC Choppers or AC Inverter. Having all the power electronics combined with the control system under a single company gains you the benefits of better communication within the locomotive, as well confidence that everything was designed wholistically, and finally that there is a single point of contact if it ever requires maintenance.
