Tiivistelmä
The thesis was commissioned by the Automation Engineering Degree Programme at Häme University of Applied Sciences Valkeakoski. The aim of the project was to renew old features and to develop new features for the train track model table present at HAMK Valkeakoski. A renewal of features was necessary for the use of the table by future automation students at the university. The topic for the project was provided by Juha Sarkula at Häme University of Applied Sciences Valkeakoski.
The main part of the project was formed by an introduction of new features through coding and by looking for solutions for an improved tracking of trains moving on the train track table. The difference in price and complexity of these solutions were taken into account. Many possible tracking solutions were examined. Other improvements for the table were discussed as well.
A new solution was developed to meet the requirements of the commissioning party. A program was written for the train track table which allowed the selection of different trains as well as a manual and an automatic movement of a train. Necessary safety features were implemented. Project goals were met in a satisfactory fashion.
