TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

Lists of Operations
Lists of operations can be used at certain parts of the software to execute a sequence of
actions or to execute very specific operations, which are not available in the default selection
or operations provided there. Among others lists of operations can be assigned
as engine functions (see section 3.6, “Headlights, Steam and Whistle”) or they can be
executed as part of schedules (see page 187).
Example: Automatic Reset of Signals
The following example explains how a signal can be reset to red after a train has left an
occupancy section.
• Place or select a signal in the control panel.
• Create a contact indicator and link it to the occupancy section.
• Specify the signal in the “red” state as an operation of the indicator. This is performed
when the indicator is toggled off.

Table 6: Automatic Reset of Signals
When the train reaches the occupancy section, then the indicator is turned on. When the
train leaves the section, the indicator is turned off. This also resets the signal. This is
performed by the operations of the indicator.
Example: Emergency Stop Button
The following example explains how a push button symbol can be used to perform an
emergency stop of the model railroad layout. It is also shown how the emergency stop
can be triggered by pushing a certain key (here ‘S’) on the computer keyboard.
• Place or select a push button symbol in the control panel.
• Assign ‘S’ as a hot key to the push button (see section 2.6).
• Specify the system operation “Power Off” as an operation of the push button. This
is performed when the push button is pressed.
