Message definition (Lapping)

The self-lapping control valves are newer. With them, the control lever application directly corresponds to the {{pll|Air Brake System Overview|brake cylinder}} pressure, and is more beginner friendly. The further the lever is set in the “apply” direction, the stronger the braking application, and the further it's set in the "release" direction, the weaker the braking application. The valve automatically handles the dumping and charging of the {{pll|Air Brake System Overview|brake pipe}}, in order to get to the desired cylinder pressure.

On the self-lapping systems, the brake pipe pressure is handled automatically. The driver can set the train brake lever to any position in a range. The further it is set in the “apply” direction, the stronger the braking force, and vice versa. The valve automatically handles the dumping or pressurizing of the brake pipe depending on the position of the lever.
