  • System for remotely overriding locomotive controls
    Patent number: 9834235
    Abstract: A control system is disclosed for use with a locomotive. The control system may have a component located onboard the locomotive, the component having a first state and a second state. The control system may also have an operator input device located onboard the locomotive and used to manually toggle operation of the component between the first and second states, and at least one sensor located onboard the locomotive and configured to generate a signal associated with a condition of the locomotive. The control system may also have an offboard controller located remotely from the locomotive and being configured to selectively override the operator input device and toggle operation of the component between the first and second states based on the signal.

  • METHOD OF REMOTELY RESETTING LOCOMOTIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20160185368
    Abstract: A method of resetting a control system of a machine is disclosed. The method may include observing a condition of the machine from off-board the machine and determining a fault associated with the control system based on the condition. The control system may include a controller onboard the machine and at least one breaker in communication with the controller. The method may further include generating a command from off-board the machine directing the controller to attempt to automatically reset the control system. Automatically resetting the control system may include cycling the at least one breaker or rebooting the controller.
