Assigning Elements to the Local Control Area Zone

Process:

•Assign the CBI Elements to the LCA Zone in which they are located

•Determining the adjustability and condition for return for the assigned CBI Elements
 
 

Requirements:
 

•Creation of Local Control Area Zones
 

Description:
 

The LCA Zone Element is a dot-like object that is represented in the drawing by a circle. The Object for all CBI Elements (Switches, Signals, Derailers, key release instruments) contained in the LCA Zone shall be inserted.

In the PlanPro glossary, the object is formulated as follows:
 

LCA Zone Element (NB_Zone_Element)
 

Assignment of the CBI Elements (Signals, Switches, Derailers, key release instruments) to the NB_Zone in which they are located.

For these elements, depending on the intended LCA type, attributes for adjustability and condition for return have to be defined.
 

DB Rules and Regulations:

The information can be found in the Non-remote operations table, columns 5, 8 and 9.

Procedure:
 

1.Start the function EPU-Object Inserter and select the Object type 'LCA Zone Element'.

Command Line: PRS_EPU_EINF

Ribbon: ProSig EPU -> Equipment SCT -> EPU-Object Inserter

2.With the button 'Paste' a new object 'LCA Zone Element' can be inserted into the drawing.
 

oWhen inserting, select a point at the corresponding CBI Element.
 

oThe Object LCA Zone Element is a PSO and gets a graphical representative (circle) in the project drawing. The Object is stored on the Layer PRS-LCA ZONE ELEMENT.

3.After the insertion, all relevant data can be specified using the function Edit Object(s).
 

Illus.: Object Attributes of an LCA Zone Element
 

oThe Attribute 'Local control area element' (A) is used to specify the CBI Element, which is located within the LCA Zone. When selecting a Switch or Derailer, it is important to select the appropriate Switch component. For assigning objects using the attributes, see also Editing And Displaying Complex Data - Assigning Objects.

oThe Attribute 'Superordinated local control zone' (B) contains a reference to the LCA Zone of which the LCA Zone Element exists.
 

oThe Attribute 'Flexible adjustability' (C) is used to specify whether the element in the local control area (Signal, Switch or Derailer) can be freely adjusted.
 

oFor the Attribute 'Condition for return' (D), the requirement needs to be specified which is required for an adjustable element within the local control area before the short range control can be returned.
 

oBy selecting the attribute 'Show link' (E) the linking of the LCA Zone Element to the LCA Element and to the corresponding LCA Zone can be displayed.
