Recently, CRRC Brake System Co., Ltd. has obtained another batch order for its microcomputer-controlled locomotive brake control system developed for new energy locomotives. It’s been the second batch order for this type of brake control system since CRRC launched 7 series of new energy locomotives to the world on 28 June 2024.
The microcomputer-controlled locomotive brake control system was developed for the service modes and operation conditions of new energy locomotives, adopting the microcomputer network control and the modular design of overall architecture. Compared with the air brake control system generally mounted in conventional diesel locomotives, the microcomputer-controlled brake control system for new energy locomotives has some new functions such as electropneumatic braking, shunting mode, fault self-diagnosis and punitive braking and applies multiple safety redundancy protection measures. It can also include functions such as intelligent driving, remote control of locomotive and PHM (Prognostic and Health Management) according to different needs of users, applicable to various service scenarios with high safety, high reliability and strong adaptability.
As a key core system product for new energy locomotives, the microcomputer-controlled locomotive brake control system of CRRC Brake System Co., Ltd. follows the intelligent and green design concept and is able to fit different series of new energy locomotives, constituting a new quality productive force which facilitates the iterative upgrading and the transformation to new energy of the obsolete equipment of railway locomotives.
In course of product R&D and commissioning, the R&D team of CRRC Brake System Co., Ltd. kept up with the needs of users, closely cooperated with locomotive builders, realized the product development according to the functions of product, the system configuration and the application needs as well as the requirements for simplification, unification and standardization, and timely and effectively solved various commissioning problems, providing strong guarantee for the successful delivery and operation of the new energy locomotives.
