Viking Systems

The Viking Traction Control unit is designed for the railway environment and houses the following main components:

• Viking Digital Controller ECU
• Speed switch pcb
• Protections module
• Interface circuitry

Viking Traction software is tailored to meet the needs of the engine and the locomotive. All engine management functions are programmed in and there is the additional safety of hardwired shutdowns.
The engine protection provided by Viking Traction solutions provides de-rating with respect to measured parameters; this helps to ensure that the locomotive can continue to operate safely even if a fault is detected.
