LOGICALLY OPERATING ROUTE PROGRAMMER

The logically operating route programmer is a system which automatically sets up routes from a signal box, as the train approaches, in a sequence previously selected by the signalman by means of an alphanumerical keyboard. The routes programmed in this way are shown on a visual display unit as they are fed in. Routes can be fed in singly or by groups of successive routes so that, by one operation, a train can be worked through the whole zone controlled from the signal box. The signalman always has full control over the programmed sequence which can be altered by means of the keyboard in the light of prevailing circumstances. A route fed in is automatically set up when a train requests right of way through the zone controlled from the signal box and this generally happens when the train is in the approach section.
