<zn.foreign_open_track_fields>

Layout specific configuration of neighboring stations

Description

This tells the local ZNF800 subsystem how the neighboring station calls the track between stations. For every open track defined as <zn.open_track_fields> you have to define one configuration of this sort. The hope is to get rid of this configuration in the future, because it is layout specific. Let's hope that the automatic configuration over the block line gets implemented with EPnpConfiguration soon.

The following grafic shows the relationship between these two twin configuration tags:

Configuration of left station

Configuration of right station

Example

This adds a neighbor for train number field with name '42' for a single track line. The neighboring station '7' calls the track '101' and offer field '201'. This information is used to translate between different names for matching fields; local field '42' is for the same track as remote '101', a train offered in from remote '201' will be accepted in locally in '142'

<zn.open_track_fields>
	<name>42</name>
	<offer>142</offer>
	<block>BL42</block>
</zn.open_track_fields>
<zn.foreign_open_track_fields>
	<our_name>42</our_name>
	<name>101</name>
	<offer>201</offer>
	<station_id>7</station_id>
	<station_short>Stw</station_short>
</zn.foreign_open_track_fields>

Sub tags

Tag	Description
<name> Type: String Cardinality: once	Name of train number field The name of the track in ZLV bus compatible notation. This may be equal to the name of the <elekdra.track>, but does not have to be. Example ZLV bus uses numerical field names <name>4711</name>
<offer> Type: String Cardinality: optional [0..1]	Offer field Name of offer field. This is used for offering/accepting/rejecting train movements on a single track or on one track of a double track line when a train shall run against the normal direction of travel but secured by the block (Germany: Gleiswechselbetrieb).
<notify> Type: String Cardinality: optional [0..1]	Notify field Name of notify field. This is used for anouncement of a train before it entered the track between the stations. This is used on double track lines for trains that use the regular direction of travel. Notify fields are only for incoming information, so it has to be defined for that track where trains normally arrive at the given station.
<station_id> Type: int Cardinality: once	Station identification on bus This identifies the neighboring station on the ZLV bus.
<station_short> Type: String Cardinality: once	Short name of neighboring station This information is used for logging and for customized display in GUIs.
<our_name> Type: String Cardinality: once	Reference to <zn.open_track_fields> This references the <name> field of the associated configuration <zn.open_track_fields>.
