2XCrossing

GO BACK

This is a 2 way Crossing Guard (integrated). For each line the trains must always approach the crossing from the same direction in the automatic mode.

This BitSwitch can be used with any other BitSwitch products and will prevent "Crossing Collisions" when two trains approach a crossing.

If combined with other BitSwitches all triggers can be shared.

When the "DC Brake Generator BitSwitch" for that block (segment) is set for automatic then:

	Trains entering the crossing area will be allowed to proceed on a first in first out basis.
	The second train to enter the crossing on the intersecting line will be slowed to a stop and held.
	When the first train clears the crossover the second train will proceed through the crossing.
	When any train tries to enter a occupied crossing it will be stopped.

To automatically control multiple trains approaching the crossing on the same line installation of additional BitSwitch products is required.

In any case the trains in this crossing can be sent new commands for speed changes, lights, sound etc.. If a BitSwitch has stopped an engine, the new command will not be activated until the train is released.

This is a 2 way Crossing Guard. For each line the trains must always approach the crossing from the same direction in the automatic mode.

This BitSwitch can not be used with any other BitSwitch products But requires only 4 reed switch track triggers and is not suitable for Large Scale layouts.
