Re: Problems With dispatcher #dispatcher

 

Thanks Dave?
I have uploaded a file "after dispatcher runs"
?
Im running essentially a shuttle since i have a Point to point Layout
Im hoping that can be continous.
?
I select "reverse at end" and is it possible to also press 'restart when done" both at the same time?
?
thanks

Re: Zimo MS450P22 CVs above #841 #zimo #definitions

I think I've found the CV range from the ZSP Scripting documentation - CV's 980 to 1019,? so that's 30 CVs.? ?
I'll look at writing the files and a JMRI change request in the next few days.? ??

David,?
Looks like we need to put another element into the Zimo file, but it will be a fairly generic table as what each sound project does is likely unique to that project.? ?

It would be a list of the CVs (if we can establish the full range possible), listed by CV number, with a comment above the pane indicating that users need to consult the documentation for what they do in their specific sound project.? ??

That's not going to take long to write, once I can find the full range of permitted CV's? ?-? clearly CV981 to CV990 are in range, but may be more.? ?



In terms of changing them inside JMRI for now, use the single CV programmer.? There's nothing special about accessing them.??

Subject Re: [jmriusers] Zimo MS450P22 CVs above #841 #zimo #definitions

Nigel, thanks for your help. The reason for the query is because they are referred to in the manual for the new Dapol/Rails Class 88 sound fitted loco. The function of each is as follows:
CV981/2/3 variation of flange squeal between light and loaded engine.
CV984 Cab door closing volume
CV988 Traction motors volume?
CV990 Variable delay between pantograph contacting OLE and startup of motors.
I haven’t contacted Dapol regarding how to access these scripted CVs in order to change them. Maybe a call to them will help? Any help you could provide will be most appreciated.

David, My understanding is that Zimo does not use indexed CVs even though the CV# may be in the NMRA indexed range. But it doesn’t matter in this case since CVs above 841 are not indexed anyway. If the DecoderPro xml file for this decoder does not include those CVs, you should still be able to read/write those using DecoderPro’s single CV programmer.

I wish i could close this thread,but im close but not completely done.

The problem i have is the Dispatcher runs the transit Nicely,but when it terminates or completes (my) SSL seem to go astray and i cannot continue.
The only way is to reset,by clicking the "remove direction sensors from SSl,and everything (signals )go back to looking ok

It seems when the train is ready to go (again)the facing signal stays red for some reason,as though something is in Block 3 TO,but it is clear.
Do? have any ideas,shall i re upload the data?

Re: Problems With dispatcher #dispatcher

 

Hi Brett,
?
I suspect some people might be put off by the term 'Warrants'. However, as described,
A JMRI Warrant is suggestive of what a warrant does on a prototype railroad, but there is no intention to replicate any particular railroad's mode of operation. It is simply the idea of giving an automated train the trackage rights to move from point A to point B (and then move it along).
?
Personally, I find it's not as rules based and thus less restrictive to automate a train. In my case the only factors to apply are signal state and block occupancy.

The CVs should be accessible but as Nigel says, JMRI has no idea what they’re for or what values are expected

It seems that the CVs are not only decoder-specific, but sound project-specific too

To me it looks like these scripts are how you tell a Zimo decoder to do more complex things (like an uncoupling sequence perhaps?)

Then the aforementioned CVs allow some variables to be passed into the scripts to modify the script behaviour (guessing, things like how far to shuffle on an uncouple request??)

But this is guesswork on my part

This feature could not have come at a better time. I have a local switcher which works one specific location that has 5 different spurs. I have a spur that receives empties from one spur and ships loads to back to the same spur in the same location. This solves my problem of getting movement since the switcher is the only locomotive used here.

Re: Problems With dispatcher #dispatcher

 

Brett,

Someone else will need to answer the decoder question. ?

Dispatcher and Warrants are two approaches to automation. ?They are VERY different.

Dispatcher uses Layout Editor (LE) panels, blocks, sections and transits.

Warrants use Control Panel Editor (CPE) panels, OBlocks, Portals and OPaths. ?

Either approach can use signal heads/SSL or signal masts/SML. ?When using LE panels, SML can be automatically generated but it has to be done manually when using CPE panels.

Based on user group discussions, it appears that Dispatcher is used much more often than Warrants. ?I would estimate more the 90%.

Zimo MS450P22 CVs above #841 #zimo #definitions

 

I have just taken delivery of a loco fitted with the above decoder and carried out a CV “read all sheets” with DecoderPro. It appears to not display CV numbers greater than 841. How do I read/write these? I am familiar with ESU’s Indexing process to access a large number of CVs, but can only find a process called scripted CVs in the Zimo instruction manual. Maybe I am dumb, but definitely need help here. Thanks in advance.
Re: Problems With dispatcher #dispatcher

 

Dave Sand ,I thank you.
The First mistake you mention was me playing around with settings and forgot to fix,the other suggestions i would never have worked out in a hundred years.
The test ran Like magic.
To think you(and many others here) take the time to help people like me is a credit to you all.
?
Now if i could ask just a few things and stretch my welcome.
