MICROCOMPUTERS ASSIST CONTROL OF TRACTION VEHICLES AND PASSENGER COACHES
BBC's new generation of programmable, modular control equipment for traction vehicles were created to meet a whole series of important requirements brought about by important developments in the traction field. Functions at the train and vehicle control levels are performed by a single-board computer which is programmed in a user-friendly language made up of function blocks. The control functions at the drive control level are performed by highly integrated single-chip computers. The authors explain the advantages to the user of BBC's new generation of programmable, modular control systems.
