OK, Like a knucklehead, now I'm rethinking this. You have a power brick to a BPC so you can turn on and off blocks-I think--and I get that. You are running TMCC with a command base that is in DAT/COM communication with the Cab1. Ok, so something is bugging me, telling me that pressing the HALT button WILL cease operations. So I go back to my most basic TMCC manual, the one that came with my Command Control Special Hudson set, and next to the picture of a Cab1 on page 8 is the Halt button and I will quote 'Press HALT for emergency stops only. HALT stops all Command equipped locomotives in action and shuts down all PowerMaster output'
Looking at your question again, I would say that upon pressing the HALT button on the Cab1, the power will still be on the track blocks, but your CC equipped locos will be quickly put into PARK. It was bugging me that HALT was always a very basic function/ feature that would stop your CC locos. If that is what you are looking for, I'd say you're cool.
