What about more than 256 axles? In the original instructions, there is no hint of an overflow, just the exact number that is not to be met.

@maikek yeah, we can agree on that. But why even counting, then? Making sure simultaneously that all cars left a segment by count comparison? @datenhalde That would be my guess too. When I talk to my brother next time I will ask him - he works as an engineer in that area. @maikek @datenhalde Yup, that's how the "track is occupied" is working if you use axle counters. You count-in on entering and on leaving the track again you count-out. As long as your counter is != 0, the track will be marked as occupied for the interlocking system. π€·πΌ @maikek @datenhalde Sometimes these systems also miscount, leading to the track being still occupied from the systems view, when it's actually not anymore.πΆβπ«οΈ |
@datenhalde Maybe after counting to 255 the axle 256 sets the whole thing to 0 - so no more train on the tracks. Axle number 257 and following would be recognised as a train again.
