Hi Transit->Section (FWD/REV/FREE)->Block->layblock->Switchs->KnownState/State. Steve G.
My transits mostly run to safe sections so in my mind it’s a route. I know, wrong terminology. Thanks for the clues.

Test release 5.11.4 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download
#announcement
Test release 5.11.4 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.
This is the next in a series of test releases that will culminate in a production release, hopefully in June 2025. It's really helpful when people download, install and use these test releases so we can find and fix any inadvertent new problems early.
If you are currently using JMRI 4.99.10 or earlier, there is an update process that we strongly recommend. See the release note section on updates:
<>
For more information on the issues, new features and bug fixes in 5.11.4 please see the release note:

The download links, along with lots of other information which we hope you'll read, can be found on the release note page:

Why don’t you make a guess yourself. ?You’ll be just as accurate as any of us.

Ken,
A route is not allocated, sections are.
So maybe the CSV table is a map of sections and the turnout locks within a section.

That’s right. I’d need to map turnout to lock address anyway. My transits usually start with an allocation hold sensor so the transit is running but the route might not be allocated yet. How to determine if route has been allocated?

Ken,
The simple approach is to use a LogixNG CSV table that maps a transit name to the turnouts in the transit. ?When the transit is active while in ABS mode, the locks are enabled.

I have turnout controls (QuadLN_S) that use an auxiliary turnout address to lock out local fascia control.
These are locked when I run the layout in CTC mode (unlock by dispatcher with local crew request).
?
Now, when I run an ops session in ABS, I plan at least one passenger run in the schedule driven by JMRI Dispatcher.
I'd like to write LogixNG code that will activate the auxiliary turnout addresses when turnouts are allocated on a transit.
My issue is how to determine the turnouts allocated on the transit run.
Is there some object that listens for turnout allocation from Dispatcher?

Re: command centre same loconet operation over and over and over and over in a loop
Darrell, your "photo attached" didn't make it. It might be very helpful to know exactly what messages are repeating. Without that detail, my guess is that you need to change "turnout handling" to "once".

Will try in morning, thanks

Re: command centre same loconet operation over and over and over and over in a loop
Reset your DS64. You may have a route configured and it is creating a trap (instruction loop that keeps cycling)
the the DS64 cannot get out of.?

Re: command centre same loconet operation over and over and over and over in a loop
Darrell,
This is a result of a new 'feature' in the newer command
stations. If track power is off, then when you send some commands,
the commands get buffered by the command station, until it gets
full! (peanut sized buffer) Once it is full, then the command
station barfs and tells JMRI to resend the command. That is what
you are seeing and it will continue until you turn track power on.
Dick :)

Hi hope someone can help with this problem?
Trying
to upgrade to an DCS 210+ from dcs100. ? I have replaced the
command station and set up new 210+, everything works until I
hook up a computer to loconet via usb cable direct into
command centre or usb via PR4. ?Once I hook up to computer I
do a couple switch commands and after a couple of commands the
command station sends out repeating commands over and over.
?At this point the “Net” Status light goes from solid red or
slow blinking red to very fast blinking, the Solid Blue USB
light also goes into a very fast blinking mode. The DS64 I
sent the command to is quickly trying to throw the switch over
and over and over as well. ?My loconet monitoring log looks
like the photo attached. ?If I unplug usb it stops running the
command after a few seconds and command station works again
until I reattach a computer. ? I have tried it with two other
computers, ?a fresh download of Jmri with no previous files
attached, new usb cables, new interface cables to ds64, tried
a new PR4 as well the command station has the same behaviour.
?I did factory reset on command station hooked up a brand new
ds64 and still happens. ?I reinstalled the original command
centre and take the 210+ plus out of the system and the
computer and dcs 100 respond as normal.
?
I
contact the Digitrax help desk and they said they do not
support 3rd party hardware software etc, which I understand,
they went on to suggest I change my JMRI preferences which I
think I have done unless I am missing a step. ?I am open to
ideas and thoughts on this. ?At the moment I have the 210+ and
a Ds64 isolated on my workbench so I can try out any
suggestions thrown my way.

Thanks Ken. I've played around a bit with automation and wondered how little was required. Had some success with a small 4 block end to end?
Neil W
For automation, you need minimum contiguous block detection for the automated part of the layout.
I also recommend profiling your locomotives with the roster profiler.
Signals are not necessary to automate, but they help.
I defined all my control point signals as masts, most are virtual (no hardware).
With defined signal mast logic (SML), you can automatically generate sections.
Once you have sections, you can define transits.
Then you can create trains that run on those transits.

I'm simulating my layout using JMRI's Warrants method of automation. It's been a good way of learning things like signals/SML and LogixNG.
Should be able to transition that to the real thing over the next few months.

Re: Decoder pro cant read decoder
I use digitrax dcs100 on my test layout which is where i program decoders.
? I do have a pbt100 and will try it. Decoder pro list of decoders under soundtraxx tsunami steam has about 4 choices and many sub-choices in each of those. ?Can you possibly look at it and guess which one is in the old big boy

What command station are you using? This loco probably has a Tsunami-1 decoder, which requires a program track booster like Soundtraxx’s PTB-100 with older Digitrax command stations. ?You’re not using a DB150, by any chance? ?That one doesn’t have a readable program track at all.

?I was reading the dispatcher documtation last night and thought 'oh first I need to figure out signals'. I am glad I can do that virtually - as I dont want to wire anything else physically at this point - in case I 'learn' that I need/want to restart again.? Your comments help me with these next 'learn'n' to be done?
