U.S. Patent 2,056,834 discloses a grater of relays for the Delay in car-to-car transmission so that an operator can accurately schedule a device can operate in a “certain vague”. While these suggestions SelbstTeretändlioh are applicable to a train with some wagons »are not very practical and the effort of the Wiring or dl · Accuracy of timing that required are, —above this · proposals are not suitable for long goods eyes, as they are fiblioh today.

However, she Sugläng * is only one of the factors »that of one automatic control arrangement observed in practice for freight trains become nut. There are currently about 1 1/2 million freight cars in operation, mostly all in exchange, and with the exception of As a result, I change the wagons that make up a train will, from drive to drive. Many Slsenbahnen can take advantage of the automatic control of freight trains, but this requires it the feasibility of such control by main units in the locomotives, so that the sub-units in the individual freight cars are compact, trouble-free and compatible with every main unit are.

In the arrangement according to the invention, the couplings or other automatically operated devices of one or more wagons that make up a train, separated electronically by a Main unit in the Ijokomotiv cab or another Control station via sub-units in the individual wagons on the

Based on the relative positions of the wagons in the train, and without a dependency both on separate connections to the main unit and on installation or preset differences between the sub-units and regardless of the length of the train. The main purpose of the invention is therefore to an electronic arrangement for controlling the actuation of automatic devices on a railroad train create, with a main unit, with sub-units, in the individual car is connected to this common carrier, can select at any time and cause the actuating devices work at any desired point on the train.

Another object of the invention is to provide an electronic To create an arrangement for railroad trains »with the sub-units in the wagons via common carriers with a main unit connected to a control station and connected to any Time in a train of any length is effective to select operating or information supply devices: and to press to select any such gate direction from the control station control or, if desired, have it monitored.

Coupling and uncoupling are appropriate.

Another problem with freight wagons is that, with the exception of the mechanically carbonated freezer carts, the only energy that is usually available is compressed air 1st, which is obtained through the air lines for applying the brakes. However, theB is not sufficient if, as with the Coupling according to US Pat. No. 3,245,553, the supply of the Actuation air to the clutch is controlled by a valve operated by a solenoid. Any car can be equipped with a generator that is driven by an axle, but then the arrangement would be ineffective, unless the train is moving. A separate battery, which one would circumvent these difficulties, requires maintenance. There are also individual pantographs for the dissipation of energy not applicable from the power line, as these are limited to use on electrified lines

A more satisfactory solution, as discussed here, exists in it, the car with electrical energy from the one or the other Supply locomotives in the single train. This in turn entails an electrical coupling of the car, with which it is indicated appears that these should be equipped with combined mechanical, air * and electrical clutches. The privilege becomes the best currently available automatically disconnectable combined coupling with a hook-shaped head and a Standard handle given, as this is in US application 493 383

An electrical coupling 3 is attached to the underside of the head .4. The head 4 contains a swiveling hook for mechanical coupling .5 * normally by a spring in the clutch position is held and also carries the Inftkupplungen 6.

Since the automatic uncoupling usually has the essential importance and. the knowledge . Which of the two couplings of the vagina is at the front is necessary, the illustrated arrangement receives an answer to this question by providing two binary devices 24 in each sub-unit 18, one for each coupling, instead of another device, e.g. an inertia switch to use. When the binary devices 24 are switched once so that they form a shift register 25, they all work in their response to impulses in the same way as in a shift register of a computer.
