Interface Route

  • All Superinterfaces:
    java.lang.Comparable<NamedBean>, NamedBean, PropertyChangeProvider
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    DefaultRoute
    public interface Route
extends NamedBean
    Routes represent a collection of Turnouts that may be set at the same time.

    When a user adds a Turnout to a Route, the user specifies whether the Turnout state is to be set to CLOSED or THROWN when the Route is invoked (set).

    Initially, Routes will have a fixed maximum number of sensors for simplicity of implementation. We can revise this later to use Java Collections if this becomes a problem.

    To allow control via fascia panel pushbuttons, Routes may optionally be invoked by one or more Sensors (up to the maximum allowed).

    A route can be enabled or not. By default it is enabled, and will act when its specified input conditions become satisfied. When not enabled (the enabled parameter is false), the route will not act even if the specified input conditions are satisfied. When the route transitions from disabled to enabled, it may act, depending on the conditions: Edge triggered conditions will not be satisfied, but level-conditions may be.
