Connecting
- Detection of the catenary via a laser scanner (step 1)
- Lifting and pivoting motion of the current collectors on the underside of the catenary (step 2)
- raising the guiding plates (step 3)
- Pivoting motion towards the catenary (step 4)
- Lifting motion to connect the trolley-heads to the catenary (step 5)
- Lowering the guiding plates (step 6) and venting the cylinders for pivoting motion for ease-of-movement
- Now the vehicle is able to drive electrically
