TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

Diagram 103 shows a block, which is equipped with three occupancy sensors. The left
entries to the sensed track sections are labeled with B1, B2 and B3.
Diagram 104: How Brake and Stop Indicators work – Momentary Track Contacts
An alternative, but for this discussion almost equivalent situation is shown in Diagram
104. It contains a block equipped with momentary contacts. These contacts are labeled
with B1, B2 and B3, too.
B3 is marked with a stop marker ( ) effective for trains travelling to the right. B2 is
marked with a brake marker ( ) effective in the same direction. B1, which applies only
to the first diagram, is neither marked as brake nor as stop marker. B1 is used only for
occupancy detection.
The red line shows the speed of the train. It is assumed that the train will stop in this
block, at B3. When the train enters the block at B1 nothing happens, because B1 is only
used to report the entry into the block. When the train reaches B2, it is decelerated to its
threshold speed. The braking ramp can be specified individually for each brake marker.
After deceleration the train proceeds at threshold speed until it reaches B3. When the
train reaches B3, it is stopped immediately.
Diagram 102 shows the same situation as Diagram 103 configured in the block editor.
