Automated Trains
Automated trains are achieved in much the same way as automated points.
Train formations are created by starting an editing session and running the trains as required for the formation.
These formations should be short small operations. As speed and function commands are recorded with time so
are sensor detections. These sensor detections are used to ensure that trains reach locations as expected.
If a train is running late, speed and function commands are delayed. If a train is running early, speed and
function commands are executed in quick succession. Irrelevant or superfluous detections may be removed during editing.
As with point formations, running train formations is a simple case of selecting the required formation and pressing
Activate.
More advanced train automation is achieved by setting up
Dotric Fast Clock to select and activate train formations
at scheduled times.
