*COUNTING OF AXLES
Earlier Axle counters
only monitored
the amplitude of the signal from
detectors.
SECTION IS OCCUPIED
IN = 50
OUT = 0

OUT = 40
IN = 50
OUT = 50
*DETECTION OF DIRECTION
Detection of direction of movement is important
and it is done by having two detectors adjacent to
each other.
Depending on the direction of movement the
sequence of dips of the two detectors changes.
