Safety contact in Routes Editor

[Per Olsen]

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.
Per.

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

Regards,
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

Regards,
Per.

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.
