Phase 3
The departure of a train from a siding is released, as soon as
another train is arriving in the staging yard (with automatic operation modes "random
control" or "first-in-first-out" set)
or the push-button assigned to the siding is pressed (in all operation modes).
Then the current is switched on in both track sections (A and B). When departing from the
staging yard, the train cuts open the turnout.
The departure of a train is blocked, when
the switching contact of an external on/off switch is closed,
a train has just departed from another track (and the set departure time* has not yet run
out),
HADES has interrupted the operation due to malfuncion.
Phase 4
After the integrated track occupancy detector no longer detects a consumer in the track after
the departure time* has expired, section A is de-energised again and the entry turnout is set
to "branch" (into the siding).
In case a (control) carriage with own current collector tears off during departure, the
occupancy message remains after the departure time* has run out. HADES detects the fault
and freezes the operation in the staging yard.
Hint: in 2-rail systems carriages without current collector are detected, if the axles are painted
with resistive varnish or a resistor (approx. 10 kOhm) is soldered between the two wheels that
pick up current.
*Departure time
The departure time is set in common for all tracks. It defines the period of time that elapses
after releasing the departure of a train from a siding, before
the departure of the next train is possible,
HADES defines a track occupancy signal from the track in question as a "fault" (due to a
current consuming carriage probably having been torn off),
the entry turnout is set to "branch" into the siding.
the current for track section A is switched off.
The departure time can be set to a time between 2 and 20 seconds (in 1 second steps). In
state of delivery the departure time is set to 5 seconds. You can always alter the setting
during ongoing operation.
