StEin
Stationary Equipment Module
On the main line each block consists of at least one track section; Similar to the station
tracks, the brake or stop sections of a block can also be formed either by a separate
track section or by a point detector.
In the turnout areas, the division of track sections must be carried out in such a way
that in all intended operating situations no track section exists that would be part of
two routes at the same time. This means that there are several track sections, which
consist only of a single turnout. NOTE: For such track sections, there are "cheaper"
connections on expansion boards than the actual track outputs on the StEin modules
themselves. These expansion boards were not considered on the N-layout because
they are not yet available.
The point detectors (infrared sensors) are all connected to one single StEin module, which
in this case simplified the wiring.
The turnout and coupler drives are connected to 3 (of the 8) Stein modules; this is also a
contribution to clarity.
THE WIRING OF THE SIGNALS WILL BE EXPLAINED LATER (At the time of writing this text,
the signals were still operated by separate signal-bridge decoders, not by the StEin).
