About ETCS and some questions

I drove BR425 as a S-Bahn in "Lehrte-Uelzen". After I stop at a station, then I can't move the train, I don't know what was wrong.

In the same "Lehrte-Uelzen", I drove a BR193 under ETCS, it told me "Bestätigung Level STM", I think it means just like ETCS ends, what should I do next? I pressed ✓ on the screen, and then it told me "Ankündigung STM", then the AFB turned off automatically. should I do it just like LZB ends?

Actually I don't know anything about how to drive under ETCS, is there any English tutorial or video? And which lines can let me practice in Zusi?

Hello,

To the first:
Maybe you open the doors and not closed it again – I don't know the input key for this on the English keyboard-layout, but on the German one its “position 1 (doors on the right) and insert”.

To the second:
So you have done right with pressing the ✓
And yes – you should do the same – turn off the AFB and turn it on after Level switch again.

To the third:
Practice you can mainly take between Lüneburg and Stelle - there you have the switching between Level 2 and Level STM.
When you only want to drive with ETCS then the VDE8 between Erfurt and Theuern is an opportunity – no Level switching, but you drive with ETCS

Hope I could help you a bit – also with my broken english skills.

Greeting

"Pos1" is called "Home" on an English keyboard. "Ins(ert)" is already English, the German equivalent is "Einf(ügen)"

Thank you, I think I have closed the door because only the middle of the 3 lights is on.
I've also tried opening and closing the doors again, still can't start the train, there's a brief motor sound when I accelerate, but it's quiet right away.

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum so feel free to move or delete this post if it doesn't suit in this thread.

Yesterday I was trying to drive the BR193 Vectron on the Harburg-Lehrte Strecke but I can't understand how to configure LZB/PZB and ETCS properly. I am experienced in the ZDE-Verfahren with all Bombardier locomotives, as for example the BR146.3, where I manage to set everything up and ride without trouble.
Specifically, on the Vectron I perform all the data entry process in the main screen, for both ETCS, and then PZB, then I run both system tests, and finally when I go back to the Grundbild to select the current ETCS level to STM/NTC (as I want to drive with PZB in Harburg) nothing happens, and when I exceed 5 km/h I get a Zwangsbremsung.

Can someone help me? I can understand some German, so feel free to reply as you wish.

Kind Regards

Alberto

Are you trying to drive in mode SB? Bild If yes, you need to press "Main" -> "Start".
