Catenary Heating Controls

Catenary heating control has typically been provided as a manual on/off process where a switch needs to be physically thrown in either position – on or off. The catenary heaters are typically turned on at the beginning of the winter season and turned off at the end of the winter season.

SAN/OMNI provides an alternative to this system by using a fully autonomous Catenary Control system called Blue Wire.

Much like the rail heating control system Blue Point , Blue Wire uses weather sensors and prediction to determine when to apply heat.

The SCADA system can be viewed and controlled on the SAN/OMNI secure cloud web site or manually controlled locally at the controller.
