Abstract
A method of setting an electropneumatic brake device on a rail car to a mode of operation includes applying a wake-up voltage on a trainline to each brake device connected to the trainline. A command signal is sent to each brake device to enter a requested mode of operation. An acknowledgement signal is received from each of the brake devices on the trainline, and a command signal is sent to each brake device to stop broadcasting.
