3 Getting Started Signal System Types Signal System types There are two general methods of signaling in use for railroads. The first is 'Route' based, and the second is 'Speed' based. Route based signals: Route based signals give a general indication of the route condition ahead of the train. Speed based signals: Speed based signals primarily give the target speed for the track ahead of the train.
4 Getting Started Signal System Types Route based signals: Route based signals in the USA give a general indication of the route condition ahead of the train. Some european route systems may give very specific information. Typically the western US railroads used route based signals. The long distances between signals leaves plenty of room for stopping in advance of signals with only one or two signals of advanced warning. JMRI has supported Route Based signaling with SSL (Simple Signal Logic) for a number of years now. Some small amount of speed information may be combined with the route information by the use of flashing aspects.

6 Getting Started Signal System Types Speed based signals: Speed based signals in the USA are usually found on the more congested eastern routes where the added cost of shorter blocks and more complex signal hardware is justified by the denser east coast traffic patterns. Speed signaling requires many different aspects in order to indicate each combination of speeds that apply to the next section of track. Support for speed signaling is just now being added into JMRI and is called Aspect Signaling. This new capability is the topic of todays clinic.

8 Getting Started Preferences Setting the PanelPro Preferences Setup your hardware according to the information found in the JMRI Help pages. Select 'Help' 'General Help...' then navigate down to 'DecoderPro' 'DecoderPro Manual' 'Getting Started' 'Setting Preferences'. On the web go to: Note: The setup options for PanelPro are saved in their own startup file, distinct from those in DecoderPro. Normally you will use the same settings for both DecoderPro and PanelPro. Be sure to not try and run both PanelPro and DecoderPro at the same time. They are essentially the same program, so you have the full capabilities of each no matter how you initially start it running.
9 Getting Started Starting the Program Use your own operating systems method for starting the program. In this demo we are running with Ubuntu Linux.
10 Getting Started Starting the Program Use your own operating systems method for starting the program. In this demo we are running with Ubuntu Linux. Select the desired startup icon and single click.
11 Getting Started Useful Information The initial PanelPro window includes information about the version numbers of JMRI, Java, and also information about the computer interface. Include this information as well as your computer's operating system type in any support requests.
12 Getting Started Opening a new panel To get started on building a panel open the 'Panels' drop down list and select 'New Panel' This will open a selection between the 'Layout Editor' and 'Panel Editor' The 'Layout Editor' is a vector based way to create a drawing that follows your layout plan and which auto captures much of the information required for Signaling.
13 Getting Started Opening a new panel The 'Control Panel Editor' is a graphic editor similar to 'Panel Editor', but with a more integrated interface. You may switch between these two graphic interfaces. The traditional 'Panel Editor' is a pure graphic based solution that is well suited to making classic CTC panels like we will create for this clinic. It uses a seperate control window during editing.
14 Simple Signal Logic Opening a demo panel We will start out with a panel representing the demo layout, but with simple signals.
15 Simple Signal Logic ABS Relationships We will start out with a panel representing the demo layout, but with simple signals. The relationships between the signals and the layout are simple. (Simple Signal Logic) Block Occupied = Stop Turnout not aligned = Stop Next signal Stop = Approach Next signal Approach = Flash None of the above = Clear
16 Simple Signal Logic CTC Overlay We will start out with a panel representing the demo layout, but with simple signals. The relationships between the signals and the layout are simple. (Simple Signal Logic) Block Occupied = Stop Turnout not aligned = Stop Next signal Stop = Approach Next signal Approach = Flash None of the above = Clear There are a few added options for linking in CTC panels but basicly this is the extent of the complexity.
17 Simple Signal Logic ABS (Automatic Block Signals) We will start out with a panel representing the demo layout, but with simple signals. The relationships between the signals and the layout are simple. (Simple Signal Logic) Block Occupied = Stop Turnout not aligned = Stop Next signal Stop = Approach Next signal Approach = Flash None of the above = Clear There are a few added options for linking in CTC panels but basicly this is the extent of the complexity. This is ABS Route Signaling.
18 Simple Signal Logic ABS (Automatic Block Signals) This is ABS Route Signaling.
19 Simple Signal Logic ABS (Automatic Block Signals) This is ABS Route Signaling. The occupied block is protected by a red (stop) signal.
20 Simple Signal Logic ABS (Automatic Block Signals) This is ABS Route Signaling. The occupied block is protected by a red (stop) signal. The stop signal is protected by a yellow (approach) signal. I.e. You are approaching a stop signal.
21 Simple Signal Logic ABS (Automatic Block Signals) This is ABS Route Signaling. The occupied block is protected by a red (stop) signal. The stop signal is protected by a yellow (approach) signal. I.e. You are approaching a stop signal. The approach signal may optionally be protected by a flashing yellow 'Advance Approach' signal. If not one of the previous, then Clear.
22 Speed Based Signals Zones Speed Based Signals Speed Signaling gives the engineer information regarding how fast his train must travel in the upcoming segment of track. In general there are two speed zones in a signal block. The first zone is that portion of a block when any part of the train is in an interlocking section. For example, as defined in the CSX rules; through turnouts, crossovers, sidings, and over power routed switches. The second speed zone is the speed allowed for the duration of the block. The Name of the signal aspect reflects these two different pieces of speed information. For example Medium Clear indicates; 'Medium speed through turnouts, crossovers, sidings, and over power routed switches; then proceed. Medium Approach indicates; 'Medium speed through turnouts, crossovers, sidings, and over power routed switches; then proceed, prepared to stop at next signal.
23 Speed Based Signals Speed Signal Rules The Speed based signal rules may sometimes be a bit more complex.
24 Speed Based Signals Speed Signal Rules The Speed based signal rules may sometimes be a bit more complex.
25 Speed Based Signals Speed Signal Rules The Speed based signal rules may sometimes be a bit more complex. In this CSX example, a Stop aspect may be 'protected' by any of three different aspects. Approach, Medium Approach, or Slow Approach.
26 Speed Based Signals Speed Signal Rules The Speed based signal rules may sometimes be a bit more complex. In this CSX example, a Stop aspect may be 'protected' by any of three different aspects. Approach, Medium Approach, or Slow Approach. This is the reason that JMRI now supports aspect based signaling.
27 Using Panel Editor Opening a new panel We will start out with a panel representing the demo layout, but without any signals.
28 Using Panel Editor Opening a new panel We will start out with a panel representing the demo layout, but without any signals. WARNING! If you are reusing an existing panel, be sure to remove all traces of any SSL logic and/or Logix code that may have previously been used on this panel.
29 Using Panel Editor Manual Edit Using your favorite text editor, NOT a word processor, search for <signalelement and remove each entry and all of its included data. (Example highlighted in red) Other instances to remove shown in green.

If you are reusing an existing panel, be sure to remove all traces of any SSL logic and/or Logix code that may have previously been used on this panel. Once you have a panel with your required detection and turnouts you can add your signal masts.
31 Using Panel Editor Opening a new panel I have spaced out the track images and lever spacing to allow the fitting of the signal masts onto this demo panel. Normally a CTC panel does not include any actual signal information, but for our purposes it makes things easier to understand.
32 Using Panel Editor Opening a new panel I have spaced out the track images and lever spacing to allow the fitting of the signal masts onto this demo panel. Normally a CTC panel does not include any actual signal information, but for our purposes it makes things easier to understand. I have only included the turnout and signal direction levers for these two interlocking points.
33 Using Panel Editor Opening a new panel I have spaced out the track images and lever spacing to allow the fitting of the signal masts onto this demo panel. Normally a CTC panel does not include any actual signal information, but for our purposes it makes things easier to understand. I have included the turnout and signal direction levers for two interlocking points. I have also included a pair of Call On switches and indicators to enable restricting moves using Logix.
34 Using Panel Editor Opening a new panel These two levers are used to simulate off panel traffic information. 'Toward the center' is traffic onto the panel, 'center' is occupied and 'away from center' is traffic off of the panel.
35 Adding Signal Heads Signal Head table The current version of JMRI 2.12 only has the capability to create masts from individual signal heads. This may be because there are not any currently available products that understand aspect commands. We expect this to change in the near future. Due to these present limitations you must first build a signal head table using the hardware that you have available. The following table is for our demo hardware configured as if it were a Digitrax SE8c signal driver. In fact it is our prototype RR-CirKits LNCP unit that does understand aspects. (but see above limitations)
36 Adding Signal Masts Signal Mast basics The new signal mast (aspect based) signaling capability in JMRI uses the signal types themselves to determine the necessary rules of operation. This greatly simplifies the implementation of any signal system, but especially one that is more complex than the ABS signals currently supported by SSL. The intent is that, like Decoder definitions are currently added to DecoderPro, signal definitions will be added for each prototype RR rule book.
37 Adding Signal Masts Signal Mast basics CSX Rules The rules that we are using are taken from the CSX-1998 Signal Rules
38 Adding Signal Masts Signal Mast basics CSX Rules The rules that we are using are taken from the CSX-1998 Signal Rules Especially note that each mast configuration can only indicate some, but not all of the possible rules.
39 Adding Signal Masts Signal Mast basics CSX Rules The rules that we are using are taken from the CSX-1998 Signal Rules Especially note that each mast configuration can only indicate some, but not all of the possible rules. Specificly lets use the example of a single head dwarf signal. It can only show three rules; Slow Clear, Slow Approach, and Stop. Using Aspect Signaling; on your model you would simply select the single head dwarf and JMRI will automatically choose the correct aspects to use.
40 Adding Signal Masts Signal Mast basics CSX Rules If your turnout number allowed for Medium Clear and Medium Approach speeds, then you would simply use a double head dwarf with a red upper marker or a high mast with red upper marker. JMRI will then adjust to these new available aspects in creating its rules.
41 Adding Signal Masts Signal Mast basics CSX Rules If your turnout number allowed for Medium Clear and Medium Approach speeds, then you would simply use a double head dwarf with a red upper marker or a high mast with red upper marker. JMRI will then adjust to these new available aspects in creating its rules. The real beauty of all this is that each rule includes the speed information, both through the interlocking, and once the train has cleared the interlocking. The JMRI automated throttles will obey these different speeds as determined by the aspects shown.
42 Using Panel Editor Opening a new panel Lets place our first mast at the first block boundry for east (right) bound traffic.
43 Using Panel Editor Opening a new panel Lets place our first mast at the first block boundry for east (right) bound traffic. Open the 'Tools' and select 'Tables' 'Signals' - 'Signal Masts'.
44 Using Panel Editor Adding a mast Lets place our first mast at the first block boundry for east (right) bound traffic. Open the 'Tools' and select 'Tables' 'Signals' - 'Signal Masts'. This opens the Signal Masts window. Click on Add... to create our first mast.
45 Using Panel Editor Adding a mast Lets place our first mast at the first block boundry for east (right) bound traffic. Open the 'Tools' and select 'Tables' 'Signals' - 'Signal Masts'. This opens the Signal Masts window. Click on Add... to create our first mast. We will name the mast 2R and select the Signal System 'CSX-1998'. Note: as of the 2.12 release many signal systems are incomplete. Be sure to download the latest version to obtain the most complete rules available.
46 Using Panel Editor Adding a mast After selecting the desired signal system you need to select the specific mast used at this location. We will use the simple three color light high signal mast. Your options are limited by the types of mast arrangements used by your prototype. Be sure to select the mast type that can display the required aspects for this location.
47 Using Panel Editor Adding a mast After selecting the desired signal system you need to select the specific mast used at this location. We will use the simple three color light high signal mast. Your options are limited by the types of mast arrangements used by your prototype. Be sure to select the mast type that can display the required aspects for this location. Once you select the type of mast you will need to enter the ID of the head/s that make up the mast. (top to bottom) In this case it only requires one head, LH31, which is already located in our signal head table.
48 Using Panel Editor Adding a mast Clicking on OK adds the mast to the table.
49 Using Panel Editor Adding a mast Clicking on OK adds the mast to the table. Add a comment.
50 Using Panel Editor Adding a mast Clicking on OK adds the mast to the table. Add a comment. Note that the mast already knows all of the possible indications that it can display. I have not located the error that causes two 'Stop' entries to appear.
51 Using Panel Editor Adding a mast Continue to add your masts noting that some masts will require two or even three heads to configure properly.
52 Using Panel Editor Adding masts to a panel Continue to add your masts noting that some masts will require two or even three heads to configure properly. Once the mast table is built we can add the actual masts to our panel. Remember this part is not prototypical, but rather an aid to understanding and configuration.
53 Using Panel Editor Adding masts to a panel Continue to add your masts noting that some masts will require two or even three heads to configure properly. Once the mast table is built we can add the actual masts to our panel. Remember this part is not prototypical, but rather an aid to understanding and configuration. From the Panel Editor window select Add Icon Signal Mast.

Once the mast table is built we can add the actual masts to our panel. Remember this part is not prototypical, but rather an aid to understanding and configuration. From the Panel Editor window select Add Icon Signal Mast. Select the '2R' mast from those that we added.
55 Using Panel Editor Adding masts to a panel The mast will appear in the usual place.
56 Using Panel Editor Adding masts to a panel The mast will appear in the usual place. Move it into position.
57 Using Panel Editor Adding masts to a panel The mast will appear in the usual place. Move it into position. Then rotate it into position. (90 degrees)
58 Using Panel Editor Adding masts to a panel The mast will appear in the usual place. Move it into position. Then rotate it into position. (90 degrees) Again remember that the classic CTC panels did not have any indications showing any of the actual signal aspects. They did often include small signal images indicating the location of interlocking signals.
59 Using Panel Editor Adding masts to a panel Continue by placing the remaining signal masts on your panel. The position doesn't matter other than making it easy for you to understand their relationship to the blocks and turnouts.
60 Using Panel Editor Adding masts to a panel Continue by placing the remaining signal masts on your panel. The position doesn't matter other than making it easy for you to understand their relationship to the blocks and turnouts. These end masts do not appear on the layout. They just represent the 'next' signal masts. They are required by the Aspect Signal system because the logic is entered by pairs of masts. They may be 'Stop' or 'Restricting' virtual masts as appropriate for the track. (end or dark)
61 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts Once the masts are 'installed' on your panel, click on one to bring up its menu. Select 'Signal Mast Logic'.
62 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts Once the masts are 'installed' on your panel, click on one to bring up its menu. Select 'Signal Mast Logic'. This opens a 'Signaling Pairs' window for '2R'. Click 'Add Signal Logic' to complete this pair.
63 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts Once the masts are 'installed' on your panel, click on one to bring up its menu. Select 'Signal Mast Logic'. This opens a 'Signaling Pairs' window for '2R'. Click 'Add Signal Logic' to complete this pair. First choose the destination signal for this pair. In this case it is easy because there is only one option, '4R'.
64 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts Once the masts are 'installed' on your panel, click on one to bring up its menu. Select 'Signal Mast Logic'. This opens a 'Signaling Pairs' window for '2R'. Click 'Add Signal Logic' to complete this pair. First choose the destination signal for this pair. In this case it is easy because there is only one option, '4R'. Now select the 'Sensors' tab and place a check by 'IS9:TK' which is the BOD for this block.
65 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts We have not defined any 'Blocks', and there are no turnouts nor crossing tracks with extra masts to watch, so we are finished. Click on 'Update Signal Logic'.
66 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts We have not defined any 'Blocks', and there are no turnouts nor crossing tracks with extra masts to watch, so we are finished. Click on 'Update Signal Logic'. Actually for this demo I have added two other sensors to watch. The first is 'IS0:RDGL' (Internal Sensor 0: Right Direction signal Lever). The other is 'IS6:LDGK' (Internal Sensor 6: Left Direction signal indicakator). These let me interact with the mast from the panel.
67 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts The real power of the new Aspect Signaling shows up when the masts get complex.
68 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts The real power of the new Aspect Signaling shows up when the masts get complex. Mast '6R' has two other masts that form pairs, depending on the route through the interlocking. The first is mast 8R-S on the siding. The other is mast 8R-M on the main.

Mast '6R' has two other masts that form pairs, depending on the route through the interlocking. The first is mast 8R-S on the siding. The other is mast 8R-M on the main. Looking at the siding pair we have added the 'Turnouts' LT5 Thrown.
70 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts The real power of the new Aspect Signaling shows up when the masts get complex. Mast '6R' has two other masts that form pairs, depending on the route through the interlocking. The first is mast 8R-S on the siding. The other is mast 8R-M on the main. Looking at the siding pair we have added the 'Turnouts' LT5 Thrown. For 'Sensors' we look at the OS, the Siding, and the direction of traffic.
71 Using Panel Editor Adding logic to your masts The setup for the main track is just as easy.
72 Using Panel Editor Rules The setup for the main track is just as easy. All the 'rules' are built into the JMRI signal mast tables, and automatically applied as required by your specific railroad's rule book. No more need to support the dead tree and ink industries to purchase thick signal manuals plus years of study in engineering and computer science just to understand how to write your Logix.
