The control system of MAP24 consists of two main parts; CCU (central control unit) responsible for integration and managing of all control signals related to locomotive’s modules and TCU (traction control unit) as a controller of the locomotive’s propulsion system. MAP24’s control system has advantages, which was designed and manufactured by MLC such as:
- Low cost compared to the similar products
- Compatibility with railway’s standards, implementation of up-to-date algorithms of control system, Fail-Safe’s performance in whole layers,
- Compatibility and optimization of hardware and software based on different requirements,
- Availability of testing devices for any modification, reliability features for any suitable integration,
- Capability of saving and monitoring of all control system’s parameters, independency of the whole system for using each device and equipment,
