Product catalog summary
Overview: The Hubbell Intelligent Radio Locomotive Control System is designed for efficient and reliable operation of diesel-electric locomotives using a microcomputer with built-in diagnostics and high-speed digital modulation. It allows remote control of locomotive functions via a portable transmitter.
Key Features:
  • Microcomputer: Utilizes a single board computer for data conversion, error checking, and control output generation. It includes a watchdog timer for program monitoring.
  • On-Board Diagnostics: Continuous diagnostics with status display. Faults result in locomotive shutdown and error display.
  • Input/Output Board: Converts microcomputer outputs to drive solid state relays and provides feedback for diagnostics.
  • Emergency Stop Board: Monitors critical locomotive functions and initiates shutdown if abnormalities are detected.
  • DC Solid State Output: Controls locomotive functions via solid state relay boards.
  • Receiver Cabinet: Houses essential components like the power supply, radio receiver, and output relays, all within a NEMA 12 enclosure.
System Features:
  • Secure Control: Biphase data transmission and CRC checks ensure controlled operations and prevent false motions.
  • Frequency Conservation: Multiple systems can operate on the same frequency without interference due to unique address codes.
  • QSR Design: Emphasizes quality, serviceability, and reliability with protective circuits and modular design.
  • Efficient and Flexible: High-speed data transmission for responsive operation and easy manual/remote control transfer.
Specifications:
  • Supply Voltage: 12VDC, 24VDC, 36VDC, or 72VDC
  • Operating Temperature: -22°F to 140°F (-30°C to 60°C)
  • Radio Receiver Frequency Range: 72–76 MHz or 450–470 MHz
  • Data Reception: Compatible with existing transmitters
  • Modulation: Biphase
  • Baud Rate: 4800 bps
Installation and Support: The system is factory-assembled and tested for 48 hours before shipment. Installation is simplified with pre-wired components, and Hubbell offers comprehensive documentation and customer support.

Locomotive Control Systems 31.200 Catalog-1

The Hubbell Intelligent Radio Locomotive Systems features a microcomputer with status display and built-in diagnostics along with our high speed, digital, biphase modulation to provide reliable, efficient and economical operation of diesel-electric locomotives from a portable transmitter. Each radio control system operates on a licensed frequency in the 72– 76 MHz or the 450–470 MHz bands. The receiver is crystal controlled. A synthesized 72–76 MHz receiver is also available. Pneumatics Cabinet Benefits • Easy to Maintain — Self diagnostics identify problem areas via the status display. • Fast Response — High Speed data rate offers fast, responsive operation. • Frequency Conservation — Up to four systems can share the same radio frequency, which also saves on spare parts requirements. • Cost Reduction — Operating crew is reduced on each shift. Payback is realized in just a few months. • Better Visibility — Remote control takes the operator out of the cab providing him with improved visibility and total control from grade level. • Simple Operation — Portable, lightweight transmitter is easier to operate than manual controls. Midsize Transmitter (See Spec 31110) Hubbell 72 & 450 MHz Remote Control System for Locomotive Applications Receiver Cabinet By operating the transmitter switches, a radio message is sent to the locomotive mounted receiver to control the direction and speed of the locomotive. Additional data bits are available to perform special auxiliary functions such as sounding of horn, application of brakes or control of couplers. Microprocessor Radio Locomotive Control

System Features Secure Control — Hubbell’s biphase data transmission scheme and Cyclic Redundency Check code (CRC) prevent false motions and provides for controlled shutdowns. Digital messages are checked for address, format, and content before any motion or function is activated. While in motion, check circuits continuously monitor the received message and the quality of the RF carrier signal. Any error or loss of signal integrity will de-energize all controlled functions and apply the brakes. Frequency Conservation — It is possible to have several transmitters operating in the same area, on...

comotive magnetics and pneumatic systems in response to decoded control commands. The configuration of the manual control switches is duplicated and wired to industrially rated terminals for interconnection to the locomotive controls. A manual-remote transfer switch is provided to completely isolate the radio system from the manual controllers. The receiver antenna is normally mounted on the locomotive cab, and sufficient co-axial cable is provided to connect the antenna to the radio receiver module in the cabinet. Pneumatic Cabinet The pneumatics enclosure is of NEMA 12 construction and houses...
