Disclosed is a railway wayside object controller comprising an analogue signal processor 21, which is adapted to send and receive analogue data relating to the operation of trackside equipment 22. The wayside controller 20 also comprises a signal converter 23 coupled to the analogue signal processor 21 and adapted to convert between digitised waveforms and analogue signals. A digital communications interface 24 is connected to the signal processor and adapted to transmit digitised waveforms to a remote digital processor 26. The analogue signal processor 21 may comprise at least one I/O port adapted to connect to an item of trackside equipment 22, such as a set of signals. The digital communications interface 24 may connect to a communications network 25, which may be a cellular communications network, a radio communications network, an ethernet link, a serial communications link or a parallel communications link. A digital processor 26 may be located remote from the trackside equipment 22 and railway wayside object controller 20. This digital processor 26 adapted to analyse the digitised waveforms received from the railway wayside object controller 20 and output digital data that has been processed and analysed, for example, by debouncing signals, monitoring power levels, ensuring waveforms meet required specifications and generating diagnostic data streams.
