Hello.
In ROUTES EDITOR, I do use safety contacts in some hard-to-access points of my layout. See included picture, I use the lower parts, as you can see, very successfully. But the upper part, with "Wrong way also detect for" and "No detection for", how do I use them? Shouild be interesting to know, I did not find a good description in the manual. Can you help/describe ?
Best regards.

Hi Per,
This is only usable with train detection systems like Railcom. Not really usable just with your S88 feedback system and not really with MM/MFX decoders.

Hello!
Thank you for the reply. Understood.
Second question: If I use the safety-contact feature on many routes, does this affect the performance of the program (slow it down) ? Just wondering...
It is a fantastic feature for detecting trouble in the layout :)

Per
Hello again.
One more question:
The safety contact works in the way that if a certain RMK has not been reached after a certain time, the train is stopped.
I need another feature: The moment a certain RMK is OCCUPIED/BUSY the train is stopped. Is this possible? I need it :)

Hi Per,
you can maybe build such a thing with the dispatcher, but then you will need a dispatcher for every route (condition check if route xy is active and if feedback contact z is occupied).

Hello Markus.
Good idea, I was thinking something like that could work. Not on many routes, but maybe on the most important ones. I will try :)
Best regards,

Hi again.
I really do need a way to make the train stop (or maybe an emergency stop of all trains) when a certain feedback contact is reached. I think, as Markus suggested, I can do this with the dispatcher. So how do I do it? When the condiotions are met, how do I make the train (or all trains) stop?
Best regards,
Per.
