Rebuilding your locomotive? Upgrading its electrical systems? Simplify your locomotive improvement by getting the best value for your investment with the NEXSYS III-i system. This microprocessor-based locomotive control system from ZTR features a reliable, compact design, improved locomotive adhesion, and integrated AESS technology.

Other standard benefits of the NEXSYS III-i system include:

  • Improved dry rail adhesion performance by up to 44%*
  • Improved wet rail adhesion performance by up to 29%*
  • Increased free space in the high voltage cabinet by more than 60%**
  • Proven microprocessor technology to replace old relay logic or modules
  • Improved reliability and elimination of extra modules with integrated voltage regulation including battery charging and current limiting features
  • Integration with SmartStart®, the most trusted AESS on the market
  • Powerful on-board diagnostic display

 

Advanced Applications

Beyond the standard applications, ZTR can customize the NEXSYS III-i control to meet the demands of more complicated and advanced applications and additional accessories. Using a trusted locomotive control system from a provider who has proven technologies for these critical applications will improve the reliability and availability of your locomotives.

  • An accessory kit for Mother-Daughter (MD) applications can help extend NEXSYS-level control from the NEXSYS-equipped mother unit to the daughter unit, offering improved adhesion, increased battery reliability, advanced diagnostics and simple assembly.
  • Applying NEXSYS for Rotary Snow Plows (RSP) can result in tractive effort improvements that significantly increase the plowing speed, resulting in increased reliability, improved plowing effort and advanced operational efficiency.
  • NEXSYS and a custom accessory kit for Maintenance of Way (MOW) trains provides control, diagnostics and connectivity throughout your train to deliver end-to-end control, integration with on-board systems (including RCL), advanced operator display and ZTR Railway IoT remote monitoring and diagnostics.
