CSX to Expand existing RailComm DOC® Yard Automation System
May 19, 2008 -- CSX will expand its Domain Operations Controller (DOC®) system located at CSX’s Boyles Yard in Birmingham, AL. RailComm will provide modifications to the existing DOC® Server to add graphical control for additional switch locations.
CSX is taking full advantage of the DOC® system’s built-in expansion capabilities which allow the addition of workstations and/or field control nodes without interrupting operation of the current system. Additionally, a new DOC® workstation will be added to control seven additional switches.
RailComm’s 2.4 GHz RADiANT™ data radios will provide a wireless communications network to link the office with the field locations.
