VCU for Rolling Stock Application

VCU for Rolling Stock Application. Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) for 3 Phase Electric Locomotives as per IEC61375 - Train Communication Network (TCN) Standard

Use Cases
  • To supply individual VCU requirements from Railways, which can work with existing legacy 3 Phase Loco Control Systems
  • As part of the complete 3 Phase Loco Control System, which includes VCU, Main Converter and Auxiliary converter modules
Salient Features
  • For exporting power generated by Solar PV Array to grid
  • Domain: Grid Interface Solutions for Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants
  • The VCUs with open bus architecture that can address component obsolescence in future. CPU boards could be upgraded as and when the current CPUs become obsolete. I/Os and applications can remain the same. The physical location of VCUs and the connection points for theI/Os are maintained for legacy VCU replacement.
