Control Monitor Sp Dr S 600

Deutsch Nederlands

Control Monitor

Compared to the Sp Dr S60 interlocking system, Sp Dr S600 does not have a number entry panel and neither does it have ZNP. For a Sp Dr S 600 system those systems are - simply said - combined into Control Monitor and a data entry keyboard (Dataeingabetastatur=DET).

Most important thing to remember is that any element - signal/switch etc - to be operated from the control monitor needs to be adressed by its exact name.
