| Niksar Australia carries out repairs and calibration procedures to the
End-of-Train Telemetry (EOT) Systems for Pacific National (Asciano).
The End-of-Train Telemetry System consists of a Sense and Brake Unit (SBU)
mounted on the coupler and is connected to the air braking system, of the last
train car that communicates via built-in UHF radio modems with a Communications Display Unit (CDU)
or Locomotive Cab Unit (LCU) mounted in the Cabin.
The SBU/EOT, when operating in conjunction with the CDU/LCU, provides the locomotive
driver with information about the conditions at the rear of the train that are
important to the operation of the train, as:
 |
Brake pressure
|
|
Status of the data link
|
|
Car motion
|
|
Communications link tests
|
|
Emergency activation of the braking system, and
|
|
Battery status of the SBU
