Abstract:
1. A brake monitoring system comprising: a service/control pressure line coupled to a source of pressurized air; an emergency/supply pressure line coupled to the source of pressurized air; a brake valve; an air brake monitoring device having a processor and coupled to: said air brake monitoring device measuring a service/control pressure of said service/control pressure line; said air brake monitoring device comparing the measured service/control pressure to a service/control pressure set point; said air brake monitoring device generating a service/control indication when the measured service/control pressure exceeds a threshold value corresponding to a deviation from the service/control pressure set point; said air brake monitoring device measuring an emergency/supply pressure of said emergency/supply pressure line; said air brake monitoring device comparing the measured emergency/supply pressure to an emergency/supply pressure set point; and said air brake monitoring device generating a emergency/supply indication when the measured emergency/supply pressure exceeds a threshold value corresponding to a deviation from the emergency/supply pressure set point.
