Thanks Ryan for demonstrating how this works. I’ve read about roller coaster ladder logic but couldn’t really see how it would work in practice until I saw your video, thanks so much!
All XIC / OTE Lol man I wish coaster controls were this simple I've been working on an indirect address indexing issue for 3 days now with a certain intamin.... About to pull my hair out lol
Right. This would be easy if it was so simple. But noooo. At least with the new stuff you get tags. All the old Intamin 5 or 500 they don’t give us the tags so there was a lot of let’s call this _ --_
@@ryantheridemechanic yup. B3 T4 C5 R6 N7 F8. Been there too many times The worst is not having the original copy with comments. 5000 V21+ you're ok, but in rs500 / 5, good luck lol
Most sent that huge. Talking about a standard coaster with 2 trains. But if you put a bunch of special things in there like LSM multi train launch, theming that interacts it gets much bigger.
Yes normally closed contacts are used when watching block info. This way if the power is lost to a sensor or the wire breaks, the PLC will register the block as occupied out of safety.
@@ryantheridemechanic How are hazardous outputs such as brake releases wired/plumbed? Dual series solenoids? Watching some rides from a distance it almost appears as if there is only a single valve releasing brake calipers.
@@ThePaintballswat honestly depends on the brake. if its air closed then it will have 2 valves needing 2 separate signals to release the air. if its spring applied then it only requires 1 signal to open the brake but that 1 signal will travel through 2 outputs, have positive feedback from the brake, and the block or section will have another valve that will drop out the entire block. and all of these are per brake. you typically don't have 1 output running multiple brakes for safety. Good Questions!

Glad it helped!!
Really interesting. Would love to see more of this sort of stuff. All makes sense-clever stuff.
Awesome with the PLC

What software is this, obviously PLC programming but just wondering.
The software is called logixpro from a Canadian company called the learning pit.
@@ryantheridemechanic Thank you, also really enjoying the videos!
@@vrryan6 thanks!
I can't find the 'ride permissions' interface in Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 ...must be a hidden feature.
I don’t know how each train bursts into flames on that program? Hahaha! I told my son who used that game, there is no fuel source on that train.
I am curious on what a whole coaster program would look like. 🤔

Are Block sensors typically all N.C. or complimentary contacts?
Yes normally closed contacts are used when watching block info. This way if the power is lost to a sensor or the wire breaks, the PLC will register the block as occupied out of safety.
