About this file
The document is a technical specification and product brochure for the x-RPS™ Railroad Preemption System, developed by CTC Inc., located in Fort Worth, Texas. While the document is associated with a government file potentially related to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), the document itself is a product specification sheet detailing a technical system for highway-rail grade crossing safety and signal preemption.
The x-RPS™ system is a railroad preemption technology designed to enhance safety at highway-rail intersections, featuring modular components including a processor module and expansion module. Key technical specifications include isolated power inputs (24 VAC), health-checked inputs for advance, simultaneous, and gate down signals, and self-checked preemption outputs to traffic controllers. The system operates in temperatures from -40 to 85°C, has an OLED user interface, and can be mounted in existing input file racks. Notable features include compliance with NEMA requirements, innovative wireless connections between modules, dual watchdog hardware, USB field firmware update capability, and the ability to generate traffic signal health status signals for railroad equipment.

Incorporating the x-RPS ™ into your application means you are following CTC-recommended practice for preemption interconnection circuits. This practice provides an additional safety layer to ensure highway-rail grade crossing systems operate as designed.
Call 817.886.8210 to incorporate x-RPS™ into your highway-rail grade crossing applications today.
Features
• Complies with National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA) requirements and Caltrans specifications for input file capability (170 | 2070)
• Innovative wireless connection between all CTC x-RPS™ Expansion modules
• Dual watch dogs with redundant failure-mode hardware
• Maximum preemption, track-clearance extension, and track clearance safe guard timers
• USB port enables field firmware updates
• Single or double break configurable for railroad interface
• Supports pseudo gate down | two track clearance intervals when paired with the x-RPS™ Expansion card
• Real-time preemption status screen
• x-RPS™ Expansion generates a 12 VDC isolated signal that indicates traffic-signal health status to railroad equipment
• x-RPS™ Output drives recorder inputs (24 VDC) and drives external LED indicators
• x-RPS™ Confirmation generates railroad and emergency vehicle preemption indication
• Programmable train simulator to perform system field tests

Benefits
• Easy-to-use interface to railroad preemption circuits
• Timers check and safeguard preemption functionality
• Smaller size easily fits into existing traffic controller cabinets, replacing the need for side-mounted preemption relay panels
• Solid-state technology ensures operational longevity
• System health checking for all I/O circuits
• Initiates longer activation of railroad warning devices if traffic signals are in “flash” or dark
