MARCoThe passing loop can be utilized in two different ways:1. When a particular solenoid address is switched to “green“, all trains arriving in the EntryManager block, travel via the passing loop directly the Exit Manager block. In this case theEntry Manager behaves like a block which is located just ahead of the Exit Manager. Theautomatic now proceeds, so, when the block exit signal turns green the route to thepassing loop is also set.2. If the solenoid address is set to “red” all trains that are entered in the Entry Manager’sLNCVs 122-127, run through the passing loop.Programming the Entry ManagerThe passing loop is enabled in the Entry Manager by LNCVs 13, 120 and 122-127 with thefollowing meaning:• The solenoid address which selects the passing loop for all trains (Setting this solenoid to“green”) or only for particular trains (Setting this solenoid to “red”)• MARCo-Receiver address with which the Entry Manager reports the passing loop asoccupied or vacant.Attention: This address must not be used by any other MARCo Receiver.• The addresses of the trains which are to use the station’s passing loop. This can be anindividual locomotive address or a train category. Up to 6 different entries are possible.LNCV Description Value2 Automatic function Entry Manager 8 or 2413 Meaning of the LNCV, in case LNCV 2 has a value of 8 or 24:1-2000Passing loop controlled by solenoid addressSolenoid green = All trains use the passing loopSolenoid red = Only the address or train categories in LNCV 122 to 127 use thepassing loop120 Virtual address, with which Exit Manager reports the passing loop as occupied 1-4095or vacant.This address (LNCV 0) can’t be used by any other MARCo Receiver.121 Not used -122-127 addresses (1-9999) or train category (20001-20015) of the locomotive which isto automatically use the passing loop.1-9999,20001-20015Function DescriptionThe Entry Manager reports the passing loop as “occupied” as soon as train arrives, which ismeant for this track. If the solenoid with the address specified in LNCV 13 is switched to“green” (all trains should bypass the station), the Entry Manager reports the passing loop as“vacant” until the solenoid is switched to “red” again. If the MARCo-Receiver is programmedas Entry Manager and has the programming for a passing loop LNCV 120 then a programmedtime dependent block vacant report, specified in LNCV 10, is ignored and the block is alwaysreported as “vacant”, when the block exit signal (LNCV 6) is switched from “green” to “red”.Programming Exit ManagerThe passing loop is enabled in the Exit Manager with LNCVs 13 and 120 to 123 with thefollowing meaning:• The address of the station’s Entry Manager58
