The Viking Traction Control unit is designed for the railway environment and houses the following main components:
- Viking Digital Controller ECU
- Speed switch pcb
- Protections module
- Interface circuitry
The engine protection provided by Viking Traction solutions provides de-rating with respect to measured parameters; this helps to ensure that the locomotive can continue to operate safely even if a fault is detected. As an additional feature Viking traction can interface with remote monitoring; thus allowing operational problems to be viewed and diagnosed at the depot.
