3. Setting-up the staging yard
3.1. Sidings
Number of sidings
The number of sidings in the staging yard is 2 to 32. The basic module and the track modules
can monitor and control 2 sidings each. If you need an odd number of sidings, you can
configure the last track module to monitor and control only one track section.
Minimum lengths
All sidings must have the follwing minimum length:
length of the longest locomotive or the longest (control) car (section A)
+
length of the longest train (section B)
Electrical separation of the sidings
The sidings must be electrically separated at the following points:
directly behind the entry turnout (seen in direction of travel)
directly before the exit turnout (seen in the direction of travel)
between sections A and B of the siding
To do this, disconnect
the centre conductor in the case of 3-conductor systems or
the
left
rail as seen in the direction of travel in the case of 2-conductor systems.
