5 Setting-up

Diagrams which follow specify the setting-up to be respected so that the scripts work correctly.

Note :

1 Setting-up of the signalling system in small station on single-track is described in the following page

2 In surveyor mode, if you want to test a signal or a set of signals, place a loco upstream ; since TANE SP2, some features may only work once you are back in driver mode.

The blocks :

In open tracks, the route is subdivided into zones called "bloks". Their access is commanded by a semaphore preceded by a signal of warning.

Operating diagram :

Junction 'run through switch' :

For the train A, the succession of signals warning + square + semaphore is green. The semaphore can be replaced by a square if the group is situated in

a station.

In the case of a semaphore taken away or little visible (bend, bridge...), it can be announced by a combined signal square + warning.

Junction 'run through point"

Upstream to the junction :

- a combined signal SNCF w + 30

- a combined signal SNCF s + w +30. With this signal, if the target "+30" is presented, the zone downstream will be limited to 30 kmh.

Do not forget to implant a speedboard of resumption of speed as indicated below (exemple : V.Lim.Invisible 100 by Flavdu45 53425:20100).

Downstream to the junction :

- semaphore (or squares) protect the access to the block (4)

- a 'SNCF signal target diverted' to be placed on the diverted track

Note : 'signal target diverted' should not be placed more than 500 meters from the upstream signal

The warning (1) is closed announcing the square (2) which is closed either becauseof the presence of the train B.

The annoucemet of speed limit (1) is closed : it shows that the next junction will be run though point and diverted (here on the left).

The warning (3) is closed : it announces the semaphore (4) which is closed either.

.

Some practical examples :

Train A, approaching the warning (1), will stop at the foot of the closed square (2) because of the presence of the train B.

Seeing the signal of warning, the train A will slow down (1). The signal "slow down reminder" (2) indicates the begenning of a zone with limited speed.

The presented warning(3) shows that the semaphore (4) is closed.

As in the previous example, the train A will slow down in shigt of the signal 'slow down announcement' (1). The signal 'slow down reminder' (2) indicates

the beginning of a zone with limited speed. In this case, the warning is closed (3) because the semaphore (4) is open.

Thanks to the 'SNCF signal target diverted' , now you can manage several junctions with a unique signal. See the example below :

The train is directed to second right tracks. The 'slow down announcement' is open (1), and also the signal indicating he beginning of the zone wih limited

speed (2).

The warning (3) indicates that the next signal is red (4).

Note : you have now at your disposal a range of 'combined' signals that show a square, a warning or a slowdown to 40, 60 or 90 kmh....

All these 'combined' signals impose an automatic slowdown for AI trains that use the tracks signaled as diverted.

About the speed limit signals :

In addition to SNCF s + w + 30 , you also have equivalent signals indicating speeds limited to 40 or 60 kph.

If you have to manage a permanent zone of slowing down which is not determinated by the position of a switch, use the fixed signals by Pber007 (available on the DLS)

The address of his site is called back at the foot of the page 2 of this site.

You can also manage a slowing down zone in a simpler way than that evoked higher. Some examples:

Access to a way with reduced speed :

Upstream to the junction :

- SNCF 40 ann s or SNCF 40 ann ( or SNCF 60 ann s or SNCF 60 ann )

- SNCF 40 (or SNCF 60 )

- SNCF invisible square

Downstream to the junction, on the slow way, a 'SNCF signal target diverted'

Note : unlike to combined signals mentioned above, simple speed limit signals (40 or 60 kmh) don't automatically reduce the speed of AI consists ; you need to place a speedboard on the designated track

(exemple : <kuid:53425:20040> V.Lim Invisible 40 by flavdu45)

Simple limit signal (40 or 60) must be located within 20 meters of the next junction.

The train is directed to the left, the begenning of a route where the speed is limited to 40 kmh. The speedboards are open. The signal SNCF 40 is equivalent

to a functional speed board of 40 km/h.

In the same configuration, with a junction diverted to the right, the train goes on without slowing down

Access to a track with reduced speed + protection of the junction with a square :

Upstream to the junction :

- SNCF 40 ann s or SNCF 40 ann ( or SNCF 60 ann s or SNCF 60 ann ) and a SNCF w

- SNCF 40 (or SNCF 60 ) and a SNCF square.

The order of setting-up of the signals is without incidence, only the "square" has to precede the group.
