ation – e.g. the state “on” of an on-off switch - as well as the elements that will be operated.
Diagram 144: Operations of a push button
In the example displayed above, a turnout and a related signal are operated by pressing
a push button.
Operations not only can be executed by push buttons and on-off switches, but also by
other elements such as indicators, routes or during execution of schedules.
If operations are assigned to contact indicators, then passing trains are able to trigger
other operations automatically. For example, a passing train can open or close certain
crossing gates automatically. Another possibility is playing sound files triggered by
passing trains. Since operations can also contain features of the Dispatcher – e.g. starting
of a schedule (see chapter 5, “The Visual Dispatcher”) – virtually unlimited possibilities
for automatic operation are provided.
