Multi-function controller

Product overview
Modular master controllers for traction vehicles, designed to govern traction and braking functions and to integrate into the driver control desk. Units are available for main line, tram and metro applications and are compliant with UIC612. Configurations include rotary or slide control handles and a wide range of customizable options to match vehicle requirements.

• Ergonomic driving lever shapes in multiple variants
• Fully customizable to vehicle and driver desk constraints
• Extensive set of additional functions and auxiliary controllers

Options

• Position sensor for precise lever feedback (Voltage/Current, Gray code)
• Safety lock integrated in safety sequence
• Dead-man devices in several variants (including capacitive/sensitive touch)
• Movement interlock: forward, backward or both
• Communication interfaces: CAN / Ethernet / PWM
• Mode selector: key, push-buttons, pneumatic valve
