RailComm to provide Yard Automation System at CSX Erwin Terminal
October 27, 2008 – RailComm has been selected to provide a wireless remote control yard system at CSX’s Erwin Terminal in Tennessee. Three RailComm Local Control Panels will provide remote control to thirty-one (31) switches. RailComm’s Domain Operations Controller (DOC®) system will be configured to control all switches individually as well as provide eNtrance eXit (NX) routing functionality. Primary control can be passed from the DOC® System to any of the Local Control Panels. On handoff, a dialog box will appear that requires the dispatcher to enter the name of the crew member who is granted Local Control Panel authority.
RailComm’s 2.4 GHz RADiANT™ data radios will provide a wireless communications network to link the office and control panels with the field locations.
