ECOBox

ECOBox is an interface between different vehicle functional systems. Based on the real-time measures of catenary voltage and current by ECOMeter, the ECOBox unit provides signals to the traction control module, the energy measurement function, the vehicle communication system, and any vehicle functions that use catenary information.

ECOBox is highly customizable. It can be configured with multiple interfaces to meet your specific requirements.

  • Suitable for surface or rack installations
  • Dedicated version SIL2 level
  • Voltage and current analogue outputs
  • Digital outputs
  • Optical or serial interface to ECOMeter devices
  • Ethernet and serial interface to TCMS
  • Catenary, overcurrent and harmonic detection
  • SIL2 version
  • Easy integration with TCMS
