3.10 Monitoring the Maintenance Interval
For each engine the time it has been in operation since the last maintenance is indicated.
This time is increased appropriately when an engine is running.
Based on the recommendations of the manufacturer of your engine, you can determine
when it is time to lubricate the wheels or to change the carbon brushes. After maintenance
you can reset the time indication to 0 (see Diagram 56).
3.11 Passing control between Computer and Digital System
Initially control of each engine is assigned to the computer. This means that the software
assumes that it has full control over the engine.
With specific menu commands and depending on the used digital systems, it is possible
to pass control from the computer to the digital system and vice versa. For certain digital
systems these menu commands are disabled, because these systems are able to perform
the pass of control automatically (see below).
If control is passed from the computer to the digital system then control of the related
digital address is passed to a handheld of the digital system. Additionally – if supported
by the digital system - TrainController begins to monitor speed and function
changes of this engine and reflects such changes in the Train Window accordingly.
For train tracking (see section 5.5, “Train Detection and 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 is necessary to assign control of the engine
to the digital system before, if this is not done automatically (see below).
If an automatic schedule of the Dispatcher (see section 5.10, “Schedules”) is executed
with an engine currently under control of the digital system, then control of this engine
is temporarily passed to the computer. After finishing the schedule control is passed
back to the digital system. Such transfers of control are performed by the software
automatically if needed.
Assigning control of an engine to the computer is necessary, if you want to control
the engine manually with the on-screen throttle.
