![]() ![]() "the automation systems guides the train to THE ( IE "a Specific Defined") empty staging track." "the automation systems guides the train to AN ( IE "ANY") empty staging track." The automation system guides the train safely to an empty section of the staging track So the Automation systems KNOWS What train it is Sending, and When. Then Extra 123 West may be Obliged to be sitting on "Staging Track #2", alternatively, if "Extra 123 West is THE Next Train", ![]() Then "automating" both the Trains and the Yard-Throat Routing systems becomes a Lot Easier. IE if the staging yard is literally just a "send whatever train is next" holding-tank to provide a "constant passing-parade of trains",Īnd "which specfic train comes next" does NOT have any timetable/operational/sequence importance, Does the subsequent (possibly hours/days/weeks/next-session later) use of that train have any Order, Sequence, or Timing restrictions? (".any track, as long as it's empty." VS "Extra 123 West ALWAYS parks on Staging Track #2") Does the Inbound Train care which of the available staging tracks it "lands" on? ![]() "gets on the train and drives it onward" IE into the relevant staging-track "parking spot") (IE metaphorically the human-operator "crew" has "gotten off the train at the crew-change point",Īnd the "next traincrew", aka the Automation system, Or has it already been "siezed" and is being "driven"/controlled via the Automation system? (Human "keep driving" til a "mimic signal" tells them to "Stop!") Is this "inbound train" under Human/Manual Operator control, #ROCRAIL SENSOR SET HOW TO#This is a simple example of a useful automation activity.Īny ideas on how to make it happen and what is elements are required? the automation system guides the train safely to an empty section of the staging track & shuts the down power to that section.To help kick this off, the automation activity could consist of: I am looking in a specific direction, but I am open to any & all ideas. In this blog/post, I’m looking to explore what has been done & what can be done with the capabilities of today. So the automation strategy for that section is really needed now. These will be permanently installed from nearly day one. However, the first sections that will be built are the staging area. The overall aspects will likely evolve with the layout. A part of my layout design & initial build is what if any automation strategy should be employed and with that what elements are needed. ![]()
