+====== What to do with a Block ? ======

+A locomotive with cars runs from right to left around the track. \\
+===== Introduction =====
+Here for beginners it should be explained what a block is, how a block is built with tracks and electronics, how a block is used ... \\
+A locomotive can run from block to block. \\
+A block should always be longer than the longest train (locomotive with wagons). \\
+A block should have two sensors for the events ENTER and IN. \\
+{{:userpages:hermannk:block_bk01a.png|}} \\
+The block ID is "bk01". \\
+A block has a plus side and a minus side to let the software know at what side the loco will enter the block. \\
+The sensors are named "fb01+" and "fb01-". \\
+"fb01+" at the plus side of the block; \\
+"fb01-" at the minus side of the block. \\
+{{:userpages:hermannk:rocrail_1_block01b.png|}} \\
+===== further details =====
+In this example, the feedback sensors are to be implemented as current sensors. \\
+The length of a feedback sensor should be long enough that the locomotive comes to a complete stop within the feedback sensor (i.e. does **not drive past** the feedback sensor). \\
+Because the block can later be driven in both directions, we install the feedback sensors symmetrically (left and right of the block the feedback areas are of identical length). \\
+===== configuration =====
+The build in "Router" will configure the feedback sensors with the blocks if the Router is setup appropriate. \\
+{{userpages:hermannk:rocrail_properties_router_routing-en.png}} \\
+Just activate "assign feedbacks to blocks",
+- do the routing (Rocview menu / File / Router / Routing)
+and it's done. \\
+For the direction of this example the minus side of the block is the "enter" side of the block; so \\
+- sensor "fb01-" is responsible for the "enter" event and \\
+- sensor "fb01+" is responsible for the "in" event . \\
+{{userpages:hermannk:block_properties_routes_allenterminus-en.png}} \\
+\\
+To be prepared for using the opposite driving direction the plus "enter" side should be setup as well: \\
+- sensor "fb01+" is responsible for the "enter" event and \\
+- sensor "fb01-" is responsible for the "in" event . \\

+As a summary: \\

+===== wiring =====
+The feedback sensors have to have an address setup - even for simulating the track! The addresses have to be unique! \\
