The advtrains TCB is a concept. The device does not exists in real life 
or is just a piece of insulator.

The actual TCB is the assembly of two insulated rails, an electrical 
powersource and a relay to switch on an off the red and green lights of 
the signals
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_circuit#The_basic_circuit).

I will keep the acronym in the french translations files of advtrains, 
but problably use "Isolateur de Circuit de Voie" in my tutorial.
I work in the computer science field and am upset by the use of English 
words when a french one exists.



Cordialement.
