pzb and protection

[VMPP]

Hi

I'm driving train 3862 from SGK fharplan 00-12. kassel-warburg-scheferde

When I change cabs at Kassel, the 218 cab has some sort of error.
The Zusi display windowa,and also the train data (F7) says that it's a 120kmh train, but it cuts under protection at 100kmh.
Also, the PZB lights are not working on this cab on this service.

What is going wrong?

There was an error in the settings of the pzb. A correction will come with the next update.

Train DGS42949 on the Paderborn_Kassel\Salzkotten-Kassel_2017_4-14Uhr\DGS43949.trn

Zusi display gives 100kmsh, data window the same. Actual limit is 120

Hello VMPP,

the actual limit in this case is 100 km/h, not 120 km/h.

The "track limit" may be 120, but your timetable may restrict you to lower limits, for a variety of reasons. For example, the RU (railway undertaking) may plan to use this specific train to carry waggons with a speed limit of 100 km/h. Or they may have calculated the energy consumption and have found it to be more economic to run the train at a reduced speed. Whichever the reason, you're never allowed to exceed the top speed stated in your timetable.

@VMPP: Yes, this is likely an timetable construction error. The evaluation is able to take the speed limit into account. Why it's not done here, I don't know. Sometimes the timetable author wants to work around unsopported features, but I cant't imagine what this feature may be here. In both cases it's an error at the evaluation.
