+You can connect up to four sensors to the switch.\\
+The second pair is used in combination with a second motor or coil.\\
+The route activation will wait for the sensors, if defined. For slow motors it is recommended to use this feature to prevent running into a partially set switch.\\
+\\
+=====Sensors=====
+| :!: The relation switch-sensor is a 1 to 1 relation, and position sensors cannot be shared with other objects. |
+All sensors can be selected by combo box where all previously defined sensors are listed.
+Select the dash "-" for deactivation.\\
+The switch reports the position after receiving the right sensor events if sensors are set. This works also when the switch is set manually if the sensors are mechanically connected.
+====Invert====
+Checking this option will use the **off** sensor event. Use this if using hardware like __**[[mgv136-en|GCA136]]**__ or __**[[:can-gc6-en|CAN-GC6]]**__ which has one sensor for one servo; **on** means thrown.
+====Occupancy sensors====
+These sensors are optional and are used for detecting electrical occupation to avoid setting this switch if one or both are high.\\
+This will also prevent setting the switch in manual mode.\\
+====Overwrite status====
+The sensor events will overwrite the current switch status and avoid red background in Rocview.\\
+====Use field events====
+Use field events as position acknowledgement.\\
+| Some Command Stations confirm commands, and this is in Rocrail defined as "Field event". |\\
+__Note 1:__ //This option is **useless** in case the Command Station Option "**Echo commands**" is set.//\\
+__Note 2:__ //If also sensors are defined for position events, both must be confirmed to be able to set a route over this switch.// (2.1.1756+)\\
+====Connecting sensors====
+How to connect the sensor to your switch is mostly explained in the user manual of your sensor module.
+If the coil driver has end switches, it can be wired directly to the module. (opto-isolation is highly recommended)
+Some manufacturer's motor drivers have extra add-on switches to generate sensor inputs.  [[http://www.hoffmann-antrieb.de/|Hoffmann]] is one example.
+====Turnout sensors in automode====
+Before a train starts running all turnouts must have been set according the wanted position. The train waits until all sensors match the positions.
+At **enter** a running train will slow down to V_mid if not all turnouts are set, and will stop at **in** if it is still not set.
+====Turnout sensors effect in the GUI====
+A turnout symbol is set after receiving the sensor event. In the case of slow or prototypical servo's, it can take about 1 or 2 seconds.\\
+ \\
+===== CTC =====
+These optional addresses are used to control the switch motors by CTC.\\
+A coil with two electromagnets is regarded as one motor.\\
+The setup is equal to the Sensor setup.\\
+For more information see also:
+  * __**[[:ctc-loconet-en|CTC Setup]]**__
+  * __**[[:switch-int-en#uid-name|UID-Name]]**__
+====Motor====
+Input(sensor) addresses for controlling the switch motors.\\
+====Led====
+Output addresses for controlling the leds on the CTC or switch panel to show the actual switch positions.\\
+One output is used for each motor.\\
+ \\
+==== Outputs for RGB LEDs ====
+{{  ctc:ctc-switch-en.png?120}}
+Selection of three outputs for the control of RGB-LEDs for the illumination of the three track legs of a turnout symbol in a control panel. Color support must be activated in the properties of the outputs. \\
+Clicking the buttons opens a dialog for setting the color to be displayed. \\
+ \\
+===== Background Color in Rocview=====
+====Not set====
+{{switch-wiring-red-en.png}}\\
+The switch background is swapped to **Red** if the status does not match with the sensor report(s).
+  * See View menu -> __**[[:rocgui-menu-en#show_pending_switches|Show pending switches]]**__ to activate the red background.
+Use __**[[:rocgui-menu-en#start_of_day_-_init_field|Init Field]]**__ or flip the switch manually to update the status at startup.\\
+====Locked====
+The switch background is swapped to **Light Red**, the same color as from an occupied block, if it is locked and set.
+  * See View menu -> __**[[:rocgui-menu-en#show_locked_switches|Show locked switches]]**__ to activate the light red background.
