1 Remote Control Solutions For Rail Applications Wireless remote control solutions that are built industry tough

2 Keeping The Rail Industry On The Right Track Your rail company relies on trusted solutions to ensure proper and sustainable success. For more than 40 years, Laird has built extensive domain expertise in improving safety, efficiency and productivity for rail operations of every kind. Both Class I freight customers as well as industrial, private and short line rail companies rely on Laird solutions to keep their businesses running smoothly, safely, and with the latest in remote control expertise. You can build your business with Laird automation and remote control solutions and strengthen your competitive advantage. Laird is leading the way with advanced technological innovation, experience and quality backed by unparalleled worldwide service and support network. You can build your business around Laird remote control solutions Laird is also an industry leader in the design and manufacturing of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, telematics, thermal management, embedded wireless and antenna solutions.

3 Locomotive Remote Control Solutions Accuspeed The ACCUSPEED system uses time-tested technology enhancements to provide the features required for safe, efficient and accurate operation of remote controlled locomotives. Equipped with Synchronized Time Sharing (STS), you can control multiple locomotives on a single or half-duplex wireless channel. Beltpack BELTPACK is a computer-based locomotive remote control system that allows yard operators to control driverless, microprocessor-equipped switching locomotives using a battery-operated portable Operator Control Unit (OCU). What differentiates BELTPACK is its advanced onboard microprocessor programmed with the industry s best train handling practices. Dynamic Speed Control gives the operator complete control over train speed and more time to concentrate on surroundings and the movement of the train. Protective Pitch and Catch provides safe and efficient dual-operator control and tilt detection will automatically sound an alarm and bring the train to a controlled stop if the OCU is tilted more than 45 degrees off the vertical. The light-weight, ergonomic Operator Control Unit (OCU) allows the operator to simply set the desired direction and speed and the advanced on-board Locomotive Control Unit (LCU) continually applies the right amount of throttle or brake to maintain the selected speed regardless of track conditions. The Machine Control Unit (MCU) is an advanced on-board Locomotive Control Unit (LCU) that continually applies the right amount of throttle or brake to maintain the selected speed regardless of track grade or train mass. The operator is not required to constantly judge speed, give throttle or apply brakes, and can concentrate more on train movements and track conditions.

4 Improving Railyard Safety MP96RCL The MP96RCL is our non-speed control t locomotive radio remote control system with many ACCUSPEED features and all of the quality and reliability. Offering the safety and dependability required for operating machinery in harsh industrial environments, the MP96RCL enables one operator on the ground to effectively control switching operations and train movements. The system provides the all-important extra margin of safety by enabling the operator to input all commands out of harm s way while having greater visibility along the length of the train. AT-Paddle / AT-Toggle Controllers The Laird CattronControl Paddle and Toggle Controllers are perfect for heavy industrial applications. Designed with both operators and maintenance personnel in mind, the heavy-duty controllers are ideal for indoor and outdoor use. Transport MP The Cattron-Theimeg Transport MP reduces the footprint required for industrial rail applications while retaining features and benefits of the MP96RCL. The system is designed as an easy-install, small space solution, single-cabinet Locomotive Control Unit (LCU) that couples with the wearable AT-Paddle or AT-Toggle operator control units.

5 Portable Rail Control System Quick Connect System for Rail The QC is a standard, interchangeable portable control system designed to interface with locomotives equipped with American Association of Railroads (AAR) standard Multiple Unit (MU) connections. This makes the QC an extremely cost effective solution when the need arises to control more than one locomotive at your operating facility. The QC Locomotive Radio Remote Control System offers the dependability and safety required for operating locomotives in harsh industrial locomotive and railroad environments. A typical QC comprises of: (1) a portable radio remote Operator Control Unit (OCU optional Paddle-type or Lightweight Ergonomic), (2) a portable locomotive mounted NEMA 4 (IP66) watertight enclosure containing the Locomotive Computer Unit (LCU), and (3) a portable locomotive mounted NEMA 4 (IP66) watertight enclosure containing an Electro-pneumatic interface. Quick Connect Speed Control The QC Speed Control is an interchangeable portable control system that works exclusively with RCL-II technology. It is designed to work with locomotives equipped with the American Association of Railroads (AAR) standard Multiple Unit connections. The QC Speed Control offers Independent and Train Brake Control, Speed Control, Bail Control, RCL Horn, RCL Bell, and STS RF Protocol. Offering flexible configurations and more features than any other portable system on the market makes it the best value for your money.

6 Pullback and Stopping Protection Pullback and Stopping Protection (PSP) from Laird is the most advanced technology available for providing Pullback protection and other zone sensitive operational backup control. Combining position sensing information from track transpon- ders with verification by odometer backup and GPS technology, PSP provides a positive means of initiating preprogrammed position-specific train operation commands such as speed override, stop command, train brake control and grade crossing protection. Predefined speed reduction zones create a pullback lead that contains passive transponders (pucks) that are placed along the track at positions where a speed reduction is required to enforce the stopping trajectory. It may proceed through a Pullback zone to the next transponder while the system gradually enforces speed reductions to enforce the stopping trajectory. If the backup GPS communication and verification is lost for any reason, the locomotive will be brought to a controlled stop. The redundancy of the PSP system ensures safe, secure operation of your locomotives. Virtual Inspection of Your Equipment TASVERII - for Rail - Insight Edition TASVERII provides remote monitoring of locomotive health, real-time data logging & alarm notifications along with constant monitoring of critical components. Through a combination of reporting, alerts, and tracking features, Tasverii software provides insight for maintenance departments, yard managers, executives, and operation owners that can be leveraged to better utilize and maintain assets and train operations personnel. Accessibility - Monitor data and alerts sent over the via a secured website, which can provide up-to-date detailed reports on operational usage. Directly connect to locomotives and view live output from the Locomotive Virtual Dashboard (LVD). Productivity - Analyze equipment usage and misuse before damage occurs with Tasverii operation reports. Analyze operations metrics over time to identify areas needing improvement. Safety-Monitor operator behavior and equipment settings and send alerts to on-site supervisors for quick, technical support to ensure safe operations. Asset Uptime-Effectively manage maintenance strategies and maximize performance with minimal operating risk while keeping your assets running at maximum.
