RTSYS group's model railway demonstrator
In the past the railway demonstrator was equipped with a new controlling software, stored on the TTP nodes.Before starting a demonstration of navigating up to 11 trains on the course read this carefully .
starting a demonstration
- switch on 'Main', '12V' and 'TTP' on the switch panel
- switch on power supply of TTP node 9 -> the left green LED should blink
- press tiny button 1-2 seconds -> the green LED lights permanently
emergency stopping / resuming
- press tiny button at most 1 second -> the red LED will be turned on / off
ending session / restoring initial state
- again press tiny button 1-2 seconds -> the upper yellow LED will blink
- finish is signed by a permanently lighting yellow LED
lights on / off
- press tiny button at least 3 seconds; note that this will not work during emergency stop
section & block reset (necessary after adding some trains/taking trains away)
- reboot node 9 (switch off -> on)
cluster reboot
- activate emergency stop
- press tiny button 1-2 seconds
leaving room
- make sure that all devices are off (except the VPN relay)
- switch lights off
further information
OUT-OF-DATE damage is fixed!- a contact of the pair KH_ST_2 con 0 is broken, so the trigger event often comes late and the engine will touch the next block
-> power supply overload is possible and will be signalized by a beeping TTP node - overcome this situation by moving the train back by hand some cm
Simulation
The simulation of the railway which uses the Modelgui can be found in /home/railway/simulation. When you copy it to your home, you first have to execute
make copyrebuild
To use your controller with the simulation, you have to include RailwaySimuSCADE/railway.h instead of railway.h and kicking.h. And you need not link to librailway.
To start the simulation
- start the model gui: cd Executables; java -jar modelgui-6b1.jar
- open the railway svg
- start your controller, make sure that railway.cnf is in the same directory
