<elekdra.fieldblock_in>

Field block for incoming track

Description

This adds a semi automatic block implementation for directional traffic. Trains can only travel in the direction to our station under block control, the outgoing direction is not supported by block on this track. Use <elekdra.fieldblock_out> for outgoing tracks or <elekdra.fieldblock> for bidirectional traffic!
On the block wire this is compatible with field block, relais block and Tf71.

Example

This 'Bl' is the endpoint of a block section. The entry signal is 'ESig'. Between entry signal and the station exists a track contact identified sensor 'A42'

<elekdra.fieldblock_in>
	<name>Bl</name>
	<contact>A42</contact>
	<signalin>ESig</signalin>
</elekdra.fieldblock_in>

Sub tags

Tag	Description
<contact> Type: String Cardinality: once	Track contact On entry signal showing 'go' this contact enables 'Rückblock'. This is a reference to the name of a <elekdra.sensor> or <elekdra.axle_occupy_sensor>
<signalin> Type: String Cardinality: once	Reference of entry signal This signal has an effect on the enabling of the track contact for inbound trains. It is a reference to the name of a <elekdra.signal>
<name> Type: String Cardinality: once	Identification The block instance is referenced on the user interface and by other configurations by this string.
<blockroute> Type: boolean Cardinality: once	Does the blocked field block inhibit setup of a route? Setting this to 'true' has the effect that the setup of a route can be stopped by the block if the block is not in the state that permits sending trains. Setting this to true might be prototypical for some older plants, but it is not desireable for efficient operation. Setting this to false also helps to establish a route without a green exit signal but than to switch on the substitutaion signal.
