Abstract

A railway vehicle brake system tester for performing at least one test procedure on an electronically controlled railway vehicle brake system disposed on a railway vehicle without requiring removal of such electronically controlled brake system from such railway vehicle which includes a mounting member for mounting a number of predetermined components of such railway brake system tester thereon. A microprocessor unit is disposed on such mounting member and is connected to receive and communicate information required for performing such at least one test procedure. Another device is disposed on such mounting member and is connected for receiving preselected outputs from such brake system and is connected to communicate such preselected outputs to such microprocessor and is connected to receive preselected inputs from the microprocessor and is connected to communicate such preselected inputs to such brake system. Still another device is disposed on such mounting member which is connected for communicating at least one pressure acquisition signal to such microprocessor.
