ELB Jolt

WARNING: This locomotive is a work in progres. Large changes to function, design or other things may occur.

The ELB Jolt is the first ELB system compatible locomotive created by ELB productions.

The ELB Jolt is an electric locomotive with six medium electric motors. This locomotive also has many automated functions wich will be explained further down.

Startup:
The startup for this locomotive is very easy. Just flip the breaker for motor power, and give it throttle.

Controls and what they do:
Motor power (Breaker): Connects the electric motors to the batteries.
Throttle (Throttle): Controls the speed of the electric motors.
Anti wheel slip (Button): When turned on, the throttle will be automatically turned down if the wheels are slipping.
Front lights (Button): Turns on the two front lights.
Brakes (Throttle): Turns on the brakes on the locomotive, and all connected wagons that are ELB compatible.
Push wagon throttle (Throttle): Controls the speed of all connected push wagons.

Reverse (Button): Makes the train go backwards.
Generators ON/OFF (Button): Turns on all connected generators (Coming very soon).

Features:

Anti wheel slip:
The locomotive detects if the wheels are slipping, and automatically decreases the throttle to minimize wheel slip. It can also sense if any connected push wagons are experiencing wheel slip, and turn down the throttle for them.
Anti wheel slip can be turned off if it is not desired on the locomotive, but wheel slip is always on for push wagons.

Front lights:
You can light up the track in front of you.

Generator control:
With only one button you can control any connected ELB compatible generators. (Coming very soon)

Push wagon control:
With the push wagon throttle lever you can control the speed of any connected ELB compatible push wagons.

Data stream going up and down train:
The locomotive has a micorcontroller on board that handles all control of and recieved information from ELB connected wagons. Those wagons have their own controllers that send to and recieve information from the locomotive.

Wagon counter:
All wagons that are compatible with ELB locomotives and wagons are counted, and displayed in the control room.

Here is a list of composite channels in use, and what they send:

Down train:
Channel 1: Brake force (Connected to brake)
Channel 2: Throttle (Connected to push wagon throttle)
Channel 4: Generator ON/OFF

Up train:
Channel 1: Wagon counter
Channel 3: Wheel slip detected

These composite channels are sent through the electric connector that connects the locomotive to the wagons or locomotives.

If you do decide to upload it to the workshop, please mark it as ELB compatible in some way, and consider sending me a link to it, so I can add it to the collection of ELB compatible locomotives and wagons.
