Control systems for diesel-electric and diesel-hydraulic locomotive of HEINZMANN and RE are characterised by precise speed governing and stable and reliable operation. Their compact and robustly designed hardware components are adapted to the harsh environmental conditions in locomotives. HEINZMANN locomotive control systems are installed worldwide, in both passenger and freight trains, and have been chosen by leading locomotive manufacturer for retrofitting.
HEINZMANN develops, produces and distributes all components for conventional fuel injection such as governors, actuators and sensors. Depending on application, they provide the necessary control, protection and monitoring functions. In diesel-electric locomotives, they take over speed control of the prime mover as well as load control of the generator (AD/DC). This ensures maximum traction efficiency with variable excitation control.
PEGASOS traction control systemThe PEGASOS digital control systems are proven in numerous railway applications. The HEINZMANN HELENOS control unit DC 2-02 forms the core of the system in combination with a choice of HEINZMANN actuators. Further system components for diesel-electric locomotives are:
Diesel-hydraulic locomotives with up to 24 VDC supply don’t require additional equipment and can omit potential separation. Optional are input/output extension units and CAN bus interface.
PEGASOS Control PanelThe PEGASOS controller is a modular electronic system including:
All inputs and outputs are opto-isolated.
Marketed under the name HELENOS, these digital speed governors can be directly combined with all HEINZMANN actuator types with a control torque of up to 40 Nm. The range is also certified to various standards (ATEX, marine, etc.)

These models are the most powerful versions in the 2000 actuator range, and can be driven by analogue and digital HEINZMANN governors and by positioning modules. They are used in diesel, gas and dual-fuel engines and can be integrated with various throttle valves for hot and cold engine applications. The brushless permanent magnet system makes this actuator series ideal for use with gas engines.

SensorsHEINZMANN offers high-precision sensors for measuring temperature, pressure and speeds. Their flexible design means they can be ideally tailored to each product. HEINZMANN sensors are manufactured under the strictest quality standards and in accordance with recognised protection standards.
The DcDesk software is a configuration and visualisation tool for all digital HEINZMANN systems. It comes with all functions for commissioning, monitoring and maintenance/diagnosis.
The Viking Traction Control unit is designed for the railway environment and houses the following main components:
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. As an additional feature Viking traction can interface with remote monitoring; thus allowing operational problems to be viewed and diagnosed at the depot.
Traction control panel with Viking35 ECU, performing the following core functionality:
An ECU with a high number of I/Os, suitable for a wide range of complex control and monitoring tasks in ships, locomotives and generators. The Viking35 has established itself as the ideal solution on the market for applications involving complex load sharing in particular. The user-friendly Viking Vision software or a corresponding hand-held device can be used to edit or display control and status parameters in real time. It is combined with hydraulic actuators from REGULATEURS EUROPA.
