26-TYPE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLED PNEUMATIC CONVERSION BLOCK

摘要

A conversion block for converting porting from a brake control valve to an electronic control unit so as to allow for electronic control of an air braking system for a train. This conversion block has particular utility for converting, 26 porting and is one part of the entire unit that allows access to 26-Type equipment for the purpose of overlaying features with an electronic controlled pneumatic braking system. The conversion block provides access to porting to allow all of the advantages of electronic controlled braking to take effect such as shorter stopping distances, system performance feedback, and continuous recharging features. The present invention also provides access to the necessary porting through hook-ups on the conversion block so as to perform a single car test of the braking equipment within a remote mounting arrangement of a 26-Type braking system.
