Cabinet and Sifa
Train Protection Cabinet
The Train Protection Cabinet is a block you build into the train, anywhere among its carriages.
- Only a train carrying one reacts to PZB magnets. Without a cabinet, the magnets leave the train alone.
- It is operated on the assembled train:
- Right click: switches PZB off and on for this train ("PZB switched off" / "PZB switched on").
- Sneak + right click: switches the vigilance device off and on.
- The train remembers both switches. When a train is split, the part split off keeps the settings.
Vigilance device (Sifa)
The Vigilance Device is fitted to the Driver's Console like every other console device: click the console with it.
While the train moves and is driven by hand, the driver has to acknowledge it regularly:
Every 30 seconds
Acknowledge by a right click on the device or with the key V. Each acknowledgement starts the 30 seconds anew.
Warning
Missed it? The action bar says "Vigilance device! Please acknowledge" and a tone sounds.
Emergency brake
5 seconds later the train is braked: "Emergency brake by the vigilance device. Acknowledge to release". It brakes until the driver acknowledges.
A standing train, a train on its schedule and a train without the device are not watched. The cabinet's sneak-click switches the device off for one train.
PZB supervision
What PZB 90 demands of the driver after a 2000, 1000 or 500 Hz magnet - Wachsam, Frei, restrictive supervision - and the PZB Panel and PZB display in the cab.
ETCS basics
How ETCS works in the mod - the ETCS Computer on the train, levels 0, 1 and 2, movement authority, braking curves, dark signals and scheduled trains.
