Method of identifying and locating trainline power supplies United States Patent 06225919

06225919 is referenced by 28 patents and cites 11 patents.

A method of identifying and locating the trainline power supplies wherein the power supplies each are a node on a network. The locations of the power supply is determined by causing the power supply node to transmit its identity on the network. The power supply node includes a service pin and a signal is supplied to the service pin to cause the power supply node to transmit its identity on the network. A second node is provided at an identifiable location with each power supply and is commanded to cause the power supply at its location to transmit its identity on the network.
