Note 1
: HMI screen views are for example only.
Note 2
: This screen is only available on systems configured with the Selective Dual
Control feature. If your system does not have this feature, skip to section
4.2.3 OCU Assignment Procedure – Locomotive Setup.
• The RCU is equipped with a Human
Machine Interface (HMI) display panel.
Access the “OCU MODE” selection from
the HMI screen select menu by using the
F1/F2 for UP/DOWN scroll. Select the
“OCU MODE” screen using the ENTER
button.
• The OCU Mode establishes an operator
network configuration for the OCU to
RCU communication link. The network
has basically two configurations.
1. The first operator-to-locomotive configuration consists of a single
OCU registered to a specific
Locomotive to form a point-to-point communication link. This is accomplished with OCU Mode selections
“A” or “B” on the HMI. In this point-to-point network the locomotive will ONLY receive operator commands
from the designed OCU established by the OCU Mode selection. For example, if the selected Locomotive
OCU Mode is “A”, the Locomotive will only receive commands from OCU A and will not accept commands
from OCU B. The converse is true if Locomotive OCU Mode is “B”. The Locomotive will only receive
commands from OCU B and will not accept commands from OCU A.
2. The second operator-to-locomotive configuration consists of a pair
of OCU’s registered to a specific
locomotive to from dual point-to-point communication links. This is accomplished with the OCU Mode
selection “A&B”. This configuration is used for Selective Dual Control feature. (See section 4.6 on Selective
Dual Control for operational details.)
• Select the desired OCU Mode by pressing the
appropriate function key on the HMI. When
the selected mode is indicated press the
appropriate function key to exit from this
screen and return to the Main Menu.
• When operating in OCU Mode “A&B” the RCU
requires an active link from each
OCU.
Otherwise (after a delay period) the controller
will command a Full-Application Locomotive
Stop.
Note 3
: The single OCU Mode selections “A” or “B”, can also being used when operating in
Selective Dual Control and one OCU’s experiences a problem, such as a dead battery.
The operator can select the single OCU Mode for the operating OCU until the other
unit is back to operational order. (The typical situation might be a dead battery pack
and the operator had to replace the pack. The process required more time than
expected and operations needed to continue with the operable OCU.)
