The bracket at the right table border indicates the first part of the “module-autonomous applications”
as implemented with software version 3.10. More details to follow later.
The properties of each main section in operating mode 1 is determined by a corresponding CV. For
example, CV #21 for main section 1, CV #22 for main section 2 etc.
The two sub sections of a main section form a “signal influenced block”. A signal on one end, in
many cases on both ends, protects the block. At the end of such a block trains should stop on de-
mand if the signal influenced block is switched to “stop” and the signal shows “red”.
“Signal influenced blocks” are used in block control or in stations, which are set to “Stop” or “Go” ei-
ther manually or automatic.
The different values in the table at the left (i.e. CV #21, 22, 23 etc = „10“, „110“, „210“, „20“etc) define
the brake characteristic and affected travel direction of a “signal influenced block” and in part the in-
ter-dependency of other signal influenced blocks when occupied or free.
The meanings of the abbreviations in the table are:
A -> B direction: Train enters first sub section A and, if the signal is “red”, stops at the end of sub sec-
tion B.
B -> A direction: Train enters first sub section B and, if the signal is “red”, stops at the end of sub sec-
tion A.
U – H: The train slows down to speed limit “U” (Ultra low speed) in the first section, if the signal is
“red”, and stops in the second sub section (“H”).
L – H: The train slows down to speed limit “L” (Low speed) in the first section, if the signal is “red”,
and stops in the second sub section (“H”).
For automated block control and hidden stations (Value 30 or higher) additional information is in-
cluded that defines under which conditions the signal influenced block is set to “Stop” or “Go”. For
example: “n+1” means “the following block in direction A->B”, “n+8” means “the following block in di-
rection B->A”.
Example for CV #21 = 10 (first line in the table to the left):
Main section 1 will be used for a “uni-directional signal influenced block” in direction A -> B and with
brake characteristics U – H, which means that trains entering the sub section 1A will be slowed down
to speed limit “U” and stopped (“H”) in sub section 1B. The state of the signal influenced block can be
changed to stop (“H”) or go (“F”) with the cab or an external switch.
