Figure 53 - Slow Order Data Dialog
The following describes each of the fields in the dialog:
♦
Number – is an internal number, which cannot be changed by the user, given to the slow order by the system,
♦
Track/block/switch name – is the name of the track (a group of blocks), block or switch that is affected by the
slow order. To display a list of allowable track, block and switch names, click the down arrow at the right side of
the selection box.
♦
Permanent – is a check box that, if checked, indicates that the slow order is always in affect.
♦
From time -- contains the start time of the slow order. The time is entered in 24-hour military time. For
example, 1 AM would be entered as “0100” and 1 PM as “1300.
♦
To time -- contains the end time of the slow order. The time is entered in 24-hour military time. For example, 1
AM would be entered as “0100” and 1 PM as “1300”.
♦
Scheduled for – is a group of check boxes that indicate the days of the week the slow order is in affect.
♦
SLOW ORDER SPEEDS -- the maximum speed a train will be allowed to move over the track section, block or
switch during the slow order. Maximum speeds are set for each train type in each direction.
If there is no speed in this field for a type of train in a specified direction, the speed of the train over the track
section, block or switch during the slow order will not vary from its normal speed over the track section, block
or switch.
9.8. Wayside Detectors
Up to ten types of wayside detectors can be specified for a territory. Wayside detectors are used to monitor passing
trains for various types of problems. Two of the most common types of wayside detectors are hot box (journal) and
dragging equipment.
To view information about wayside detectors, select the “Wayside Detectors” item under the “Data” menu in the menu
bar at the top of the screen. The Wayside Detector Data window shown in Figure 54 will appear.
