+ \\
+=====ID=====
+The ID is used through out the Rocrail program as unique key for referencing this turnout and is therefor very important.
+If you change the ID you will likely need to edit the defined routes.\\
+ \\
+=====Use Short ID=====
+The Short ID is used for showing this switch on a throttle display. It is free text and optional.\\
+The checkbox must be set to enable transferring the short ID to a throttle for this switch.\\
+Activate menu item **"Control -> Transmit Short IDs"** to transfer all previous set Short IDs to a connected throttle.\\
+> **Note:** The transmission is processed together with the __**[[loc-gen-en#use_short_id|Short IDs of locomotives]]**__.
+  * Supported Apps/Throttles:
+    * __**[[:rocctrl:rocctrl-en#rocmini_watch_app|RocMini]]**__
+    * __**[[:roco:roco-wmz21-en|WLANmaus]]**__ (Short ID max. 10 characters)
+ \\
+=====Number=====
+This number is used for mapping a switch command by address to this switch.\\
+See __**[[:roco:roco-wmz21-en|WLANmaus]]**__ for more details.\\
+ \\
+=====Decoder=====
+The predefined __**[[:accdec-en|Decoder]]**__ to which this switch object is connected.\\
+With __**[[lan-en#switch_output_signal_setup|LAN decoders]]**__ is it necessary. Otherwise is it optional or for documentation.\\
+ \\
+=====BlockID=====
+The __**[[:block-gen-en#id|block ID]]**__, __**[[:sensor-gen-en#id|sensor ID]]**__ or __**[[:output-gen-en#id|output ID]]**__ is used to set the representation of this track type to occupied. The sensor must be set __**[[:sensor-gen-en#visible|Visible]]**__ to be able to set the track occupied.\\
+The switch will report locked if the block referred by this blockID is not free.\\
+ \\
+===== Route IDs =====
+Route IDs are for showing the locked routes using the **route** representation.\\
+This is a list of comma separated Route IDs without white space (blanks). If one of the IDs has become locked the **route** representation will be shown.\\
+With the […] button a list of Route IDs can be selected.\\
+ \\
+=====Locked by=====
+Read only field which shows the locking ID if any.\\
+A switch is generelly locked by a Locomotive when it activates a route.\\
+ \\
+=====State=====
+The current switch position as last reported by the server.\\
+ \\
+=====Switched=====
+All commands issued under Rocrail control.\\
+This counter can be useful for service intervals.\\
+ \\
+===== Type =====
+Following types are available:
+^ Type ^ Motors/ \\ Coils ^ Remark ^ Symbol/ \\ Positions ^
+| Turnout  |  1  | With a curved turnout (this symbol is not available in Rocrail) the outer curve is considered as straight. \\ \\ Positions: Straight, turnout | Left switch {{:symbols:turnoutleft.png}} {{:symbols:turnoutleft-t.png}} \\ Right switch {{:symbols:turnoutright.png}} {{:symbols:turnoutright-t.png}} |
+| __**[[:symbolnames-en#crossings|Center Crossing]]**__  |  0  | 90º crossing (no motor/coil) | {{:symbols:ccrossing.png}} |
+| __**[[:symbolnames-en#crossings|Crossing]]**__  |  0  | Crossing (no motor/coil) \\ To be able to show routes over static crossings it can be defined as double crossing. \\ The first address must be set to 8888,  and the second address must be set to 9999. | Crossing left {{:symbols:crossingleft0m.png}} \\  Crossing right {{symbols:crossingright0m.png}} |
+| :::  |  :::  | Crossing (no motor/coil) with option [[#rectangular|Rectangular]]: 90º crossing. The left/right option does not affect the visualization. | {{:symbols:crossing.png}} |
+| :::  |  1  | Double slip switch with one motor like, e.g., Märklin 24624, 2260, 5128. \\ One motor moves all slips, two possible positions \\ \\ Positions: Straight, turnout | Crossing left \\ {{:symbols:crossingleft.png}} {{:symbols:crossingleft-t.png}} \\ Crossing right \\ {{:symbols:crossingright.png}} {{:symbols:crossingright-t.png}} |
+| :::  |  :::  | Crossing with one motor with option [[#rectangular|Rectangular]]: 90º crossing. The left/right option does not affect the visualization. \\ \\ Positions: Straight, turnout | {{:symbols:crossing.png}} {{symbols:crossing-t.png}}|
+| Double Crossing |  2  | __Two__ motors moving the slips, max. four positions. \\ __Two addresses__ must be specified! \\ __Not to be used__ for double slip switches with only one motor. These have to be set up as crossings, see above. \\ \\ Positions: Straight, turnout, left, right | Double Crossing left \\ {{:symbols:dcrossingleft.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingleft-t.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingleft-tl.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingleft-tr.png}} \\ Double Crossing right \\ {{:symbols:dcrossingright.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingright-t.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingright-tl.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingright-tr.png}} |
+| Single Crossing  |  2  | __Two__ motors moving the slips, max. three positions. \\ __Two addresses__ must be specified! \\ Two [[#subtype|SubTypes]] are available. \\ \\ Positions SubType left: Straight, turnout, left \\ Positions SubType right: Straight, turnout, right | __SubType left__ \\ Single Crossing left \\ {{:symbols:dcrossingleft-sl.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingleft-sl-t.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingleft-sl-tl.png}} \\ Single Crossing right \\ {{:symbols:dcrossingright-sl.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingright-sl-t.png}} {{:symbols:dcrossingright-sl-tl.png}} |

+| Decoupler  |  1  | It is advised to define a decoupler as a push button.  \\ To do this, the symbol has to be defined as an **[[:output-gen-en#type|Output objekt with SVG #5]]**. \\ \\ Positions: Off, on | {{symbols:decoupler.png}} {{symbols:decoupler-on.png}} |
+| Accessory   |  1  | :!: If it is planned to use the Router see note about limitations at the **[[:router-en#limitations|Router page]]**. | |
+| Twoway |  1  | Twoway or **[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wye_(rail)|WYE]]** \\ Y-Switch with turnout to either left or right, no straight position. \\ \\ Positions: Left, right | {{:symbols:twoway-tl.png}} {{:symbols:twoway-tr.png}} |
+\\
+=====SubType=====
+For double crossing type with dual motor control to use only a single slip.\\
+Select: Default = Double Slip Switch.\\
+Select: Left or Right = Single Slip Switch. \\
+This reduces the commands to straight, turnout(=diagonal) and __left or right__, i.e from four to three positions.\\
+ \\
+=====Accessory#=====
+The symbol number used for type **Accessory** or **Switch**.
+  * See: __**[[:symbolnames-en#accessories|Symbol names]]**__
+  * Used if greater then 1 for type Switch. (None Raster.)
+ \\
+=====Direction=====
+Select a left hand or right hand for this turnout or double crossings. Threeways do not have this option.
+>**Note:** With curved turnouts the outer bow respectively the bow with the larger radius is defined as straight. \\ So determines the direction in which the inner bow respectively the smaller radius branch off, the defined direction of the turnout.
+ \\
+=====Safe switch position=====
+If the switch is unlocked, and Rocrail is running in auto mode, this position will be set after the __**[[rocrailini-automode-en#switch_safe_position_timer|Switch safe position timer]]**__ is elapsed.\\
+This option was originally for switches which needs continues energy in a certain position. To reduce the total needed energy this "Save position" should be set to the position in which the switch does not need energy.\\
+In the meantime it is mostly used for "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_passed_at_danger#Flank_protection|Flank Protection]]". ((A means of protecting movements of trains across junctions by the setting of points (either manually or automatically) that prevent any other unauthorised movement coming into contact with it.))\\
+=====Options=====
+====Raster====
+Alignment of switches:
+| {{switch-default.png}} | {{switch-raster.png}} |
+|  default  |  raster  | \\
+To create a "Double Crossover" (scissor crossing) in Rocrail, 4 switches and a "Center Crossing" have to be utilized, this configuration allows the Router to create the necessary Routes.  \\
+{{:double_crossing.png}} \\
+In order to show the "Double Crossover" (scissor crossing) on 2 parallel tracks. \\
+{{:double_crossover.png}} \\
+The following Switch Options need to be changed: check the "Raster" function box for all 4 switches, also remove the check in the "Show" box to hide the "Center Crossing". \\
+Adjust all other tracks accordingly. \\
+{{:sw_raster-en.png}} \\ \\
+**Note: If the routes that cross this "Double Crossover" were created by the Router you should [[route-index-en#remove_auto_generate_flags|remove the auto generated flag]]. Otherwise the next time the Router is used it will delete them and recreate routes that do not contain commands for the invisible "Center Crossing".** \\
+====Road====
+Instead of the chosen theme for track symbols the road theme is used.
+ \\
+====Show====
+The turnout is visible in the plan.
+ \\
+====Show ID====
+Active (default): The switch ID is shown in the track plan (only if the client is set to show IDs, e.g. Rocview: **[[:rocgui-menu-en#show_ids|Show IDs]]**). \\
+Deactivated: The switch ID is not shown in the plan. Can be used to disable displaying the ID for individual switches. \\
+====Rectangular====
+Motor-less 90° [[:symbolnames-en#crossings|crossing symbol]].
+\\
+====Swap straight====
+If the switch symbol is logically swapped this option will be used for the __**[[:route-gen-en#reduce_speed|Reduce Route Speed]]**__.
+====Put out of operation====
+This option prevents the switch being used. Routes over this switch cannot be set.\\
+The background will turn to grey.\\
+====Operable====
+To prevent manual operation by clients.\\
+====Start of Day (SoD)===
+Include the initialization of this turnout by SoD.\\
+====Exclude from Routing====
+Activate when the Router should not define commands in routes for this turnout.\\
+ \\
+====Static====
+The switch cannot be set in another position, and can only be used in the actual position in automatic mode.\\
+If the option is activated, the symbol background is displayed in "orange". \\
+   * **Tip:** The option is also available in the __**[[:switch-menu-de|context menu]]**__ in auto mode.
+====Manual operated====
+Manual operated switches will be locked for routes, but if they are not in the wanted position, the loco/train will wait until they are set manually in the wanted position.\\
+The switch must be in the wanted position before the route is locked if the 'free' option is selected.\\
+=====Actions=====
+See [[:actionctrl-en|Actions]] for more details.\\
+  * **Note:** If the action parameter is set to "force" a locked switch/crossing in automatic mode can be set.
