Stationary Equipment Module Page 33
The configuration sheet below shows the object lines created for the ZIMO exhibition layout
in N-scale; the lines 43 to 64 are not shown due to lack of space.
This is the entire layout configuration , i.e. for all 8 StEin modules together on a single
parameter sheet . Therefore, ahead of the actual object lines is the optional column
MOULNR (01 ... 08), which is used by each StEin module when loading the configuration
sheet (.cfg file) to select only the object lines needed.
Additionally, the sheet also contains the optional column NAME, which has no function in op-
eration, but just serves as a reminder during the configuration stage as to where the track
sections and turnouts used to be connected to the track section modules MX9 (before the
layout was changed from the “old” technology to the StEin).
For each of the 8 StEin modules, the sheet contains an object line of the class GATYP ( = a
track section type with the designation "GAZIMEN18"), which contains the parameters for
the 8 individual track sections to be defined, which in this case are always the same. The in-
dividual track sections (objects of class GA) therefore have a " (quotation mark) in almost all
boxes, which means that the parameters are copied from the GATYP; only the connection
points (APUGA column) for the track section itself and the point detectors (APUGK1) are dif-
ferent.
NOTE: Later, when operating the layout, it might turn out that some track sections should have a higher
occupancy threshold because of their particular section length; in such a case, the BESMNOR parame-
ters should be changed in the respective object lines.
The turnouts are organized similarly to the track sections: for each StEin that has a
turnout connected to it, an object line of the class WEITYP is needed, and then the object
lines for the individual points, which differ in the connection points (column APUANTR).
On the current layout (1
st
half of 2018) there are no signals on the system that are con-
trolled by the StEin (only signal bridges with built-in decoders), therefore, there are no
relevant object lines.
GENERAL REMARK about the parameter sheet configuration method:
It can be seen from the sheet shown here that the creation of a system configuration us-
ing such a table can be done quite clearly and quickly: the majority of the inputs are ob-
tained by copying from other object lines or entire blocks of lines - that is the big ad-
vantage of a table compared to the usual input masks.
