• The initial assignment of trains to blocks can be done manually or automatically by
train detection. Train detection rids you from performing the initial assignment
manually; train detection is no prerequisite of train tracking; though.
• Train tracking is based on the main block diagram of the Visual Dispatcher and follows
the specified links between the blocks. The tracking of manually operated
trains, such as those trains that you control with the throttle of your digital system, is
only possible, if you create an appropriate main block diagram, that contains the
proper links between your blocks.
For train tracking of an engine it is important that the software knows the direction
and speed of a running engine. If you want to control an engine with a handheld
of your digital system under simultaneous train tracking, then it may be necessary
to assign control of the engine to the digital system before (see section 3.11,
“Passing control between Computer and Digital System”).
5.6 Blocks and Indicators
For proper operation the Dispatcher must be able to detect, whether a train occupies a
specific section of your railroad or when a train passes a specific point on your railroad.
This detection is done with contact indicators (see section 4, “Contact Indicators”).
