In 2007 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

CAUTION: Don't reset sections or reboot cluster while not all trains are moved to initial position -> the controller will not find them on track (due to static schedule)

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OUT-OF-DATE damage is fixed!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
