Rides: Reliable Control and Safety Communication for High-Speed Attractions
R3 Solutions provides the wireless technology that reliably transmits control and safety signals even at high speeds and on moving parts of the ride. For roller coasters, carousels, and flight attractions that operate safely and without interruption.

Overview
Amusement rides move people at high speeds, at heights, in spins, and in free fall. Whether it’s a roller coaster, a carousel, or a rotating flight ride: the control system must function precisely and safely at all times, because the safety of the passengers is at stake.
This makes communication between the moving parts of the ride and the central control system challenging. The transmission paths are constantly changing—for example, with rotating arms or trains on the track—and often in an environment that is difficult for radio communication due to metal structures and signal shadowing. Traditional mechanical transmission methods, such as sliding contacts, reach their limits here and are subject to high wear and tear. A wireless solution transmits signals reliably and flexibly, but must achieve the deterministic reliability of a cable connection, even at high speeds and with constantly changing geometry.
How R3 Solves the Challenges
R3 Solutions connects the moving parts of a ride to the central PLC in a deterministic and secure manner via a dedicated radio link. The solution is designed to operate reliably even at high speeds, with changing geometry, and in environments that are challenging for radio communication.
Bridge E
For safety and control applications with real-time requirements and high synchronization.
- Determinism: Time-slot-based signal transmission, packet loss rate of 0.000000001 %.
- Real-time communication: Latencies of up to 2 milliseconds are possible.
- Safety-compliant: PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, and others are transmitted transparently.
- Proven in practice: Years of use by European and American OEMs.
