Diagram 80: Main Block Diagram in the Visual Dispatcher
Blocks are displayed on the computer screen by rectangular boxes. The blocks are connected
by routes or links. These routes or links are drawn as lines. Since there are turnouts
to be operated in this example in order to travel from one block to the next each
two blocks are connected by a route. These routes are created and recorded automatically
by the software (see also Section 2.6, “Routes”).
Routes are inserted automatically between two blocks, when the software detects the
symbol of a turnout or crossing in the track connection between both blocks.
Please note that the block diagram represents the track layout in rough outline. The actual
track connection between “Main Line West” and “Hidden Yard 3”, for example,
contains two switches. These switches are not drawn in the block diagram in detail or as
separate objects. Instead a link between both blocks is created, that indicates, that there
is a track connection between both blocks.
In order to enable TrainController to calculate the block diagram automatically note
the following:
