Adjusting the Polarity of each Block
In order to direct each train to the correct direction of travel and in order to avoid shortcuts
TrainController applies a logical polarity attribute to each block. For each
block TrainController assumes that the following is true:
If a train is located in a block heading to the right/bottom and if the train is directed
to move forward then the train moves to the right/bottom.
Unlike computer command control, where this condition is usually true, if the decoder
is installed properly, this is not always true when stationary block decoders are used.
The direction in which the train moves depends on the wiring of each block. In order to
let each block fulfil the above rule without rewiring of your layout TrainController
provides an option to adjust the logical polarity of each block in the software (see
Diagram 175 and Diagram 176).
It is very easy to adjust the polarity of each block in TrainController. Perform the
following steps:
• Put a train on the track inside of the block.
• Make sure that the train is heading to the right or bottom, respectively.
• Assign the train to the block in the Visual Dispatcher.
• Make sure, that the train image in the block symbol of the Visual Dispatcher is also
heading to the right or bottom, respectively.
• Select the train in the Train Window.
• Drag the speed slider in the Train Window to the right.
• If the actual train on the layout is now moving to the right or bottom, respectively,
then the polarity of the block is correctly adjusted. Otherwise open the properties of
the block and change the polarity of the block by toggling the Reverse Polarity option.
