section, not only is this second sub section set to H but the first sub section as well. This is needed
in order to get a train stopped in front of a red signal where the engine is at the back, as in a push-
pull operation, or with a helper engine at the end of a train.
•
The definition run is continued in this fashion until the last track section belonging to this line is
reached.
There are different kinds of lines:
- line with an unsecured exit, where the last sub section is defined as an F, L, or U but not H. This
kind of line is characterized by the fact that a train in an operating layout is always leaving this line
into the next, possibly unsecured part of the layout.
- line with a secured exit, always ends with its last sub section defined to H. In operation, all trains
come to a stop at the end of this line and can only be driven out of this section by activating the MAN
key.
- continuous line (probably the most frequently used form). A loco can be run through the line a sec-
ond time, if corrections are needed to be made, while still in the definition process. In this way, all
sections can be tested since the previously programmed speed steps are now applied to them. The
loco will always stop in an H section as if the following block was occupied and can only be driven
out by using the MAN key.
A definition run is cancelled with an automatic broadcast stop (SSP) if:
- the memory of the MX1 is full or
- the loco is used to define an already defined section, which is only allowed once during the original
definition run to make speed step corrections, as mentioned above.
NOTE:
No special procedure is given to erase unidentified lines. However, the complete line will be erased
if any of its sub sections become part of a newly defined line. Regardless whether the new line is an
unidentified, identified or a computer controlled line.
DEFINITION AND APPLICATION OF AN IDENTIFIED LINE:
An identified line is defined with the help of a cab similar to the unidentified line. It requires the defini-
tion of a turnout ladder, which also includes a definition run as above and is stored in the command
station. Routes that include specific turnout positions can be stored and called up on demand which
makes a block controlled route through a station possible. The turnout ladder number becomes the
identifier with which the route can be called up!
