TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

Based on the recommendations of the manufacturer of your engine or car, you can determine
when it is time to lubricate the wheels or to change the carbon brushes. After
maintenance you can reset the elapsed time to 0 (see Diagram 139).
For each vehicle it is possible to specify an individual maintenance interval and an optional
operation, that will be automatically performed, when the maintenance interval
expires. The following operations are possible:
• Decommission of the vehicle.
• Display of a message in the Message Window.
• Execution of a macro.
• Execution of a schedule .
Especially the latter allows for very interesting features. It is for example possible to
specify a certain schedule (maintenance schedule), which directs each vehicle automatically
to a certain track of your layout, when the maintenance interval expires. If this
feature is applied to a car, then the train set, which the car currently belongs to, is
started by the maintenance schedule. The maintenance schedule should be equipped
with an appropriate trial time. This ensures, that the schedule is also executed in cases,
where the vehicle is currently busy in another schedule, when the maintenance interval
expires. In this case the vehicle will first terminate its current regular schedules and
then start the maintenance schedule.
