Abstract

A system and method for wireless digital air brake testing, the system including: at least two hand held units, a control unit including a user interface, at least two end of train air brake units, and an air manifold connected to the at least two end of train air brake units. The system and method further include electronics connecting the user interface to the air manifold to selectively supply air to selected end of train air brake units, and at least one hand held unit wirelessly connected to the electronics to also selectively supply air to selected end of train air brake units.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for wireless digital air brake testing, the system including:
 at least two hand held units,   a control unit including a user interface,   at least two end of train air brake units,   an air manifold connected to the at least two end of train air brake units,   electronics connecting the user interface to the air manifold to selectively supply air to selected end of train air brake units, and   at least one hand held unit wirelessly connected to the electronics to also selectively supply air to selected end of train air brake units.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1  wherein the control unit includes a radio communicating with at least two of the end of train air brake units. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 2  wherein the control unit further includes a modem in communication with the radio and with the electronics. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 3  wherein there are a plurality of hand held units, and wherein each hand held unit can communicate with each of the at least two end of train air brake units. 
     
     
         5 . A method for wireless digital air brake testing, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing at least two hand held units,   a control unit including a user interface,   at least two end of train air brake units   an air manifold connected to the at least two end of train air brake units,   electronics connecting the user interface to the air manifold to selectively supply air to selected end of train air brake units, and   at least one hand held unit wirelessly connected to the electronics to also seal actively supply air to selected end of train air brake units,   and using the hand held units to selectively supply air to selected end of train air brake units, and   using the user interface to selectively supply air to selected end of train air brake units.   Wherein the control unit includes a radio communicating with at least two of the end of train air brake units.   
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 5  wherein the control unit includes a radio communicating with at least two of the end of train air brake units. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 6  wherein the control unit further includes a modem in communication with the radio and with the electronics. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7  wherein there are a plurality of hand held units, and wherein each hand held unit can communicate with each of the at least two end of train air brake units.
