|
|
|
<p>After clicking on the "Add..." button below the <a href=
|
|
"../beantable/SignalMastLogicTable.shtml">Signal Mast Logic Table</a>, the following pane
|
|
appears:</p>
|
|
<a href="../beantable/images/SignalMastLogicAdd.png"><img src=
|
|
"../beantable/images/SignalMastLogicAdd.png" class="floatRight" width="340" height="300" alt=
|
|
"Signal Head Logic Add pane"></a>
|
|
<p>Start creating a Signal Mast Logic by selecting a <strong>Source Signal Mast</strong>
|
|
followed by a <strong>Destination Signal Mast</strong> from the pop-ups.<br>
|
|
The Source (Signal) Mast is the one which you wish to control in this Pair and set the
|
|
Appearances on.<br>
|
|
The Destination (Signal) Mast is the next signal mast down the line. The Appearance of the
|
|
Destination Mast along with the state of the Turnouts and Blocks that you select on this pane
|
|
will have a direct effect on the Appearance of the Source Mast.<br>
|
|
If you are not using the Layout Editor, then <em>no</em> validation is performed of the
|
|
Source and Destination Signal Masts. If the Layout Editor is being used, then the system will
|
|
try and determine if the Destination Mast is reachable from the Source Mast and warn you when
|
|
a connection is not found</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The check box "Use Layout Editor Paths" allows you to get JMRI to automatically generate
|
|
the required Blocks, Turnouts and Signal Masts, along with their states, that are located
|
|
between the source and destination Signal Masts.<br>
|
|
Upon selecting "Use Layout Editor Paths", two further check boxes will appear: "Use Turnout
|
|
Details From Layout Editor" and "Use Block Details From Layout Editor". Selecting either of
|
|
these will determine what information from the Layout Editor is used when the system
|
|
automatically generates the route.<br>
|
|
The automatically generated information is not saved with the panel file, but it is generated
|
|
each time the layout panel is opened.<br>
|
|
If the information on the <a href="../display/LayoutEditor.shtml">Layout Editor</a> panel is
|
|
edited, changes are not immediately reflected in the Signal Mast Logic; you will need to
|
|
store the panel, close JMRI and re-open the panel for the Signal Mast Logic to be
|
|
updated.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "Allow The Logic to Automatically Determine Conflicting SignalMasts" option tries to
|
|
determine which Signal Masts could possibly cause a conflicting route if they were not set to
|
|
danger.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "Lock Turnouts when Signal Mast Logic is active" feature allows you to selectively
|
|
disable accessory (Turnout) commands from cabs and/or locally-wired pushbuttons. When
|
|
selected, JMRI disables pushbuttons by sending pushbutton disable commands to the Turnout
|
|
decoders when the route is locked, and enables the pushbuttons when the route is unlocked.
|
|
When locking a Turnout from cab commands, the JMRI program will monitor the Turnout's
|
|
accessory address and if it detects a change command from a cab, will cancel the command
|
|
immediately by sending out the opposite command to the Turnout. All Turnouts that are being
|
|
monitored by the JMRI program and are included in the route will be locked.</p>
|
|
<a href="../beantable/images/SignalPairsEdit.png"><img src=
|
|
"../beantable/images/SignalPairsEdit.png" class="floatRight" width="341" height="274" alt=
|
|
"Signal Head Logic Add pane Sensor tab"></a>
|
|
<p>The "Show" radio buttons allow you to show <strong>All</strong> or only the
|
|
<strong>Included</strong> Turnouts, Sensors, Blocks and Signal Masts that are selected as
|
|
part of this Signal Mast Logic.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are four tabs below the "Show" buttons, each containing the details of Blocks,
|
|
Turnouts, Sensors and Signal Masts that make up the Signal Mast Logic for this Source Mast.
|
|
In each of these tabs, there is an editable table that allows you to manually select which
|
|
item(s) should be included in the Signal Mast Logic and the State which each of those items
|
|
should be in.<br>
|
|
Below that is a second table that shows the automatically generated items (except under the
|
|
Sensors tab). Manually entered items over-ride the automatically generated items, therefore
|
|
if you wish to over-ride any item in this automatically generated list then select the
|
|
corresponding item and set the state in the upper table. Click the "Include" box in any of
|
|
the tables to add the desired item to your Signal Mast Logic. Next to the "Include" box is
|
|
the State option which that item must be in for the Source Signal Mast to come active.<br>
|
|
For example, if you wish a Turnout to be in a Thrown state to trigger the Signal Mast Logic,
|
|
then select "Thrown" in the drop down box. If you wish to over-ride a Turnout that was
|
|
automatically included, and you don't care what state it is set to, check "Include" in the
|
|
upper table and select "Any State" from the drop down box.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Clicking on the "Update Signal (Mast) Logic" button will add or update this Signal Mast
|
|
Logic to the system. Once added, the tables holding the automatically generated data will be
|
|
re-populated.<br>
|
|
Tip: To update/fill the State column under the Signal Masts tab, update & reopen the Signal
|
|
Mast Logic item.</p>
