Graham,
It is possible to use Logix and internal sensors to simulate missing layout sensors. ?
The biggest challenge is that you also have to simulate the direction of traffic so that the virtual sensors become active and inactive in the correct sequence. ?Otherwise the block routing breaks down which causes Dispatcher errors.
It is a trade off between cost and dependable operation.

Thank you all for your replys. ?Am I best to install more physical sensors, which will cost, ?If I have a physical sensor on a block, turnout, ?track with a?block reference, turnout, track with a block reference, turnout, physical sensor on a block, will all this come up in red in Dispatcher? ?Steve said he set?an internal sensor between two physical sensors.?
Thank you

Graham,
The best way to look at Logix is you make groups of Conditionals. Each
Conditional has two parts: conditions and actions. The conditions are things
like sensors and turnouts that you test for some logical state like true or
false. You can use AND and OR or even mixed to build these lines to some
logical conclusion. Then the action lines are doing something, like setting
turnouts or sensors, etc... based on the conditionals coming as true or
false.
