A sufficient number of temporary storage taps must be set up for these track sections. In particular because of this In the known process control systems with automatic point control, the expenditure on storage devices becomes considerable.

When using a working memory, the Storage facilities arranged in turnouts and track sections are superfluous. The abbey will arrange aaiin in the order of expiration by actuating a track holding means, that the train memory the sequence orders assigned to these running departments in the working memory. If a departing department enters the area of a following switch, it must turnout lying in the discharge path the associated turnout position identifier of the relevant exit job requested from the main memory are »This task is performed by switching elements in track monitoring systems depending on the free or busy status the relevant zone of action.

It has been shown, however, that the formation of the comparison features with the aid of the encoder is quite cumbersome and expensive is. In addition, an additional expenditure on switching elements for extinguishing pulses is required, which "before each setting new . Compare calibration features for the output of the point position indicators from Process orders of other running departments the existing Tab comparison marks =.

The invention is based on these disadvantages to fix and the comparison features without the laborious To create coders in a much simpler way.

According to the invention, this is achieved in that a cyclic

indexable job search register with at least as much Steps such as points are provided, the central track monitoring devices set up one after the other for points queries, which after the occupation of the associated track section by a department emit a response signal, that interrupts the Portscüalten the register and the search for the ropes in the working memory, which the sequence task for contains the department running in front of the switch, as well as the Output of the turnout location mark required for the turnout in question initiates, and that a multi-part characteristic is connected to the steps in such a way that its information is not available according to the track monitoring device requested by the respective level of the register and the respective information apart from the information required up to the relevant track monitoring device or switch Weichenlage'Kemizezeichen v / other identifiers contain the

This advantageously eliminates the unwanted Cost of assemblies for the encoder and its complicated Wiring avoided, as the feature memory is already built up with several memories that can be queried without any loss of information can be. Eir, another advantage is that for the Feature memory no separate switching elements for erase pulses are necessary because the information content of its cells changed gradually and not re-entered every time will,

Fig. 1 of the drawing shows in the upper part schematically the track diagram of a symmetrically built drainage system, in which all departments running off the drainage hill AB can be routed via five switch tiers A, B, C, D and E into the zone of the direction tracks. In the lower part of the drawing an ASR job search register is shown, for example a 1-bit shift register connected in a ring with 31 levels 1, 2 ........ to 31 · Track monitoring devices 1W assigned to the individual switches and track sections are located at these levels to 31W connected, each of which is queried by an output pulse from the relevant level of the ASR job search register,. _; V / egen a better overview in the drawing, not all the required connection lines from the "stuf s according to '. ^ Track monitoring equipment shown, but it is only those of the stages 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and shown 21st

In addition, however, the vacancy report of the relevant turnout number must also be provided section are available. The same applies to all other track monitoring devices with regard to the associated switch sections and intermediate sections. "

Furthermore, a four-part feature memory is connected to the ASR request register, the four memory groups of which IiZS, KS, VB, SZ (Fig serve to correctly trigger the desired location indicator from this memory cell. The cells of these four memory groups are set on the right as the job post register ASR circulates. The code words used in each memory group are shown below each level of the job search register ¹ * ESR.

All code words of the storage group LZS are in a · -e'irsten " Code block iiZI summarized, those code words of the memory groups KS, VB and SZ in blocks KI, VBI and SZI. For a more detailed explanation of the meaning of the code words of the individual blocks the type of process is explained:

Each sequence order consists of a multi-digit binary code word with a large number of consecutive digits such as switch points. According to the execution example, each sequence order has five positions, i.e. five points, the first of which is the turnout WT in the turnout- 6% $ ttfX.

For the left position of the turnouts (seen from the top) the turnout position indicator is "ι" and for the-R'ecats-

When a Department intended for track B, must so the switch W1 in the left position, the switch W3 in the right position, the switch W6 in the right position, the switch ¥ 12 in the left position and the last switch W2> must be in the left position. That through this course of action The defined path corresponds to the sequence order "10011".

The code words contained in the code blocks are shown Λατςα a number of white and black fields, corresponding to the binary information ¹¹ O "and" I ¹¹ . The code words in the code block LZI of the storage group LZS contain information about which flow path leads to a specific switch or track monitoring device. They contain the turnout location identifiers that have already been issued as turnout setting orders on the route taken by the department to this point. This information is referred to below as scrolling characters. Correspondingly, the storage group LZS of the feature memory containing these moving characters is called a moving character memory. When the job register ASR progresses from stage 1 in the direction of stage 31, the ticker, as already briefly explained above, is constantly changed so that it corresponds to the track monitoring device just queried or the preceding intermediate section. In the portschai th ie.s job search register ASR from the first to the second level we.i not changed the ticker and consists of the code word "0000", wexl the previous route only contains a turnout in the legal position, for which the v ^ Iefc ^ nlageken ^^ ¹¹ O "applies.

application reasons are therefore used when switching level 2 of the job search register ASR is the code word assigned to this running character Changed in the code block KI. This is useful so that between a running sign "0000" without information content and your running sign "0000" can be distinguished with informational content.

The code words of the code block KI represent binary coded Key figures represent the numbers zero to four in the time number system correspond. They are kept ready in the storage group KS, the so-called key figure storage of the feature storage. The. Code zero = "000" means that for the identification of the path leading to the relevant track section no scroller is required. It's easy to see that this only applies to the track monitoring device of the first turnout queried by the first level of the job search register is the pail, which thus occupies a special position. The running sign is therefore without informational content at this point. The. ... Key figure one - "QOt". is or is when switching level 2 _ or .3 of the job search register ASR is set. This means that for the run away until the point W2 or W3 is reached, the first point position identifier of the associated ticker "0000" or "1000" is indicative. ·., -.-..- " When switching the job search control from level 3 ·. after step 4 the scrolling symbol "0000" is set and the key figure increased by one - to two - "010".

Field AS1 contains in each memory line five memory cells for the switch position identifier ¹¹ O "or" 1 "each sequence on sluggish.

The field AS2 of the working memory AS contains a memory cell for the occupancy identifier in each memory line. In field AS3 are. Memory lines with memory cells provided for the key figures. The key figure is increased by the number one while a department is running if the process order stored in the AS1 field for this department has triggered a steep order for a turnout.

If the respectively compared running characters or germ counts do not match or if no occupancy code "1" is stored in the field AS2 of the main memory AS for the queried line, the evaluation AW sends a control code "wrong line" to the order control unit AS via the 'line L12. . After each comparison, the job control AST causes the line control ZAN to query the next line of the main memory AS via the line L11. This process is repeated until all memory lines have been queried. When the line is queried for which the comparison shows that the characteristics match, the evaluation AW outputs a control code "correct line" to the job control AST. With the aid of the position selection identifier stored in the position allocator SZ, the required tfeichenlagekennzeichen is taken from the sequence order of the "correct" line of the field AS1 and temporarily stored in the actuation order memory SAS.

Furthermore, the invention is not limited to a specific assignment of the track monitoring devices 1 ¥ to 31W to the steps limited to 31 of the ASR job search register. However, it is particularly advantageous and expedient to use the track monitoring devices to be assigned to the levels of the job search register in such a way that when it is updated, at most only one cell of each part of the feature memory receives an adjustment pulse sum inputting information "1" from the relevant stage. This is also the case in the exemplary embodiment the case. This results in the circuit of the feature memory a particularly low effort. The order in which the track monitoring devices are queried in the example is also the same not limited to a specific one. For example it is. also possible, with about the same effort the interrogation of the track monitoring devices on switching means in the opposite direction.

The invention is also applicable to drainage systems with tracks that are not symmetrically branched. These drainage systems differ from those with symmetrical track branching in that ζ. B. individual points of the middle Switch gauges are not available. As a result of the lack of appropriate track monitoring equipment however, the proper processing of the sequence orders no longer ■ given without further ado. When querying the track monitoring equipment and when generating the information the irregularities must be taken into account in the feature store will. This can be achieved through different measures. For example, it is possible for those who are not -23-

Existing track monitoring equipment replacement track monitoring to provide facilities that "when raised by a Interrogation pulse from the assigned level of the job search register ASR the unneeded switch position identifier of the request the relevant sequence tasks. ·

A particularly simple and useful method for taking into account the irregularities in the track branching "is offered by a special embodiment of the track monitoring device, which is assigned to the respective following points in the respective tracks. This avoids the replacement track monitoring devices with their large amount of axle counting devices and track holding means Pig. 4 shows, as an example, a drainage system with non-symmetrically branched tracks in the upper part. Herein, various "existing tracks with symmetry" are shown in broken lines and the reference symbols of the track monitoring devices assigned to the non-existent points are indicated by circles. Due to the asymmetrical design of the track network, the track monitoring devices 5W and ITW are not required. :: ■ '■■■■■■

the track monitoring device -5W required in the previous track section, which is missing, is easily replaced. Corresponding information instructions are hereby made up for. For this purpose, an additional control order request STAA1 is provided for the track monitoring device 1OW. This is prepared when the switch section WA is cleared by the axle counting device ABF. If the associated intermediate section ZW 'is or is occupied, the control order request STAA1 sends the response signal via the ** line L14 to the order control with the impulse from stage 5 of the order search register ASR, which in systems with symmetrical Grleisyerzweig queries the track monitoring device 5W AST off. Information processing then takes place as has already been described, but with the difference that the switch position identifier given by the main memory is not processed any further. A dummy job is therefore done with the aim of increasing the code number by one for the sequence job in the "correct" line of the main memory AS. With the response signal of the additional actuation request STAAI, the actuation request STAA is prepared via line L16 at the same time. This corresponds to a forwarding of the to the command t raganf order un ^; STAU from the axle counting device ABF via the line L17 'given free message of the switch section WA. When level 10 of the job search register ASR is switched, the steep job request STAA is queried and in turn sends the response signal to the job controller AST.

• For systems according to the preferred exemplary embodiments the job search register and the structure of the The feature memory is not used by the facilities that are intended for symmetrically constructed systems with the same number of points will. In the case of tracks that are not symmetrically branched, it is also possible to use no special track monitoring devices to set up, but to provide a specially switched feature memory, in which, if necessary, additional, Switching devices controlled by the job search register are available. This particular circuit and additional switching means then cause according to the shifts in the code word blocks resulting from the asymmetry (FIG. 1) that the Information from the feature memory to find the "correct" Corrected the line of the main memory and for querying the required turnout indicator for the turnouts concerned will.
