Rotary Snow Plows (RSP)Applying NEXSYS automates the control of the plow to ensure reliable and consistent performance under critical operations.
Maintenance-of-Way (MOW)Applying NEXSYS and a custom accessory kit can give you control, diagnostics and connectivity throughout your train.
Whether you are rebuilding your locomotive or simply upgrading the electrical systems, NEXSYS III-i will give you the best value for your investment in locomotive improvement. This microprocessor-based locomotive control system features a reliable, compact design, locomotive adhesion improvement, and integrated AESS technology. Beyond the standard applications, ZTR can customize NEXSYS III-i control to situations that demand more complicated applications and additional accessories.
Improve the reliability and availability of your locomotives, even in advanced applications, with a locomotive control system you can trust and a proven provider of critical applications.
EPA AESS Certificate: Conform to 40 CFR 1033.115g by re-qualifying your SmartStart system for rebuild and repower applications.
Battery Saver: Used to reduce unnecessary drain on the locomotive batteries when being left shutdown and unattended for long periods of time. This option works electronically and disconnects all non-essential loads after a predetermined period of time (…much like a knife switch)
Trainline Diode: Protects a SmartStart equipped locomotive, MU’d to other locomotives, from drawing cranking power through the trainline.
Proven NEXSYS benefits � Improve dry-rail adhesion performance by up to 44%*
� Improve wet-rail adhesion performance by up to 29%*
� Increase free space in your high voltage cabinet by over 60%**
� Proven microprocessor technology replaces old relay logic or modules
� Powerful on-board diagnostic display
� Integrated with SmartStart®, the most trusted AESS on the market
� Improve reliability and eliminate extra modules with an integrated voltage regulator including battery charging and current limiting features* Independent testing by TTCI, a wholly owned subsidiary of AAR** Based on a typical SD40-2 locomotive
The improved control and other NEXSYS III-i benefits can be applied to mother-daughter applications with the NEXSYS III-i MD module.Outfit your pair with the whole system or add the MD module to the daughter unit of a NEXSYS III-i equipped mother locomotive. The NEXSYS III-i and the NEXSYS III-i MD are a winning combination that will extend the life of your locomotives and greatly improve overall reliability and performance.

The rotary snow plow is a critical element of a fleet for heavily snow covered routes. The NEXSYS III-i RSP ensures high asset availability and improves reliability using an advanced and customized control system.
Rotary snow plow
Advanced operational efficiency
A NEXSYS III-i control system reduces the complexity from manual control by enabling a single engineer
to operate and monitor parameters including ground speed, blade rotation speed, and tractive effort.
Improved tractive effort
By applying NEXSYS III-i level tractive effort control, rotary snow plow applications have demonstrated
increases 5 times the original speed, even in mountain pass routes.
Increased reliability
Even during slower peak periods, a Rolling Stock Programme (RSP) locomotive is in high demand, so
reliability is crucial. Replacing the control system with a NEXSYS III-i delivers highly reliable components, a
compact design and ZTR 24/7 service to improve the uptime and availability of the RSP.

ZTR is experienced in providing ad-vanced locomotive control and connectiv-ity to improve the reliability and availability of your fleet. You can apply our expertise to more advanced applications including MOW work trains to give full, end-to-end control, inte-gration with existing systems, more connectivity to your locomotive, and more.
Maintenance-of-way train
End-to-end control
Application of a NEXSYS III-i Control System to a MOW work train provides NEXSYS-level control from one end
to the other and back. You can install one control system with some additional sensors and displays for the same control at both ends without buying multiple systems.
Integration with on-board systems
The NEXSYS III-i MOW solution allows for improved control with the ability to run the locomotive off a belt pack and Remote Control Locomotive (RCL) system. ZTR also provides its proven slow speed control to
further improve locomotive control on RCL applications.
Advanced operator display
Beyond the standard Human Machine Interface (HMI) with the control system, additional Integrated Locomotive Displays (ILD) provide insights at both
ends of the train to operating parameters, head-of-train/end-of-train systems, electronic airbrake
connectivity and more.
Railway IoT remote monitoring and diagnostics
Advanced diagnostics and connectivity improve the reliability and availability of a locomotive. With ZTR, you can go beyond health diagnostics with advanced fault, information, troubleshooting, utilization data and more,
available through an easy-to-read onboard display.
