  5. Wangrow Electronics SystemOne #NMRADCC for #modelrailroads was an early entry. While Wangow has been gone for 20 yrs, the SystemOne is still very capable. #NCE was a contractor for both components and software.

    NCE would later go it alone, and Wangrow would struggle to create their own software before ceasing business operations.

  7. A number of command control systems have appeared for #modelrailroads over the years.

    None were overly successful as incompatibility was the rule. The #NMRA would eventually create a standardized system called "Digital Command Control" in 1993.

  10. E24: A new interface from ESU. Uses a J3200 connector used on the iPhone 6 camera.

    Main use: Multifunction decoders for N Scale. Lower profile and more connections than Next18. ESU's 53900 decoder tester includes this interface.

    Applications: LokSound 5 Nano, forthcoming LokPilot Nano. Digitrax SDXN1137E24 Series 7

  11. Layout Command Control

    An adjunct to Digital Command Control, & an #NMRA Standard. Provides a bus for auxiliary functions, reducing load on the throttle network.

    LCC does not require a computer to operate!

    Railroad Model Craftsman has a 3 part series on LCC beginning August 2024

  19. There are several ways of measuring the voltage on the track with Digital Command Control.

    Its nature means measurements may not reflect reality, and how the measurement is made is important.

    Digital multimeters often give misleading results due to how they actually measure the voltage.

  22. Making a #Digitrax #LocoNet cable.

    dccwiki.com/LocoNet/Making_a_L

    It is critical that the type of RJ connectors match the type of wire it will be crimped on to. Stranded wire needs a plug meant for stranded wire.

    Plus a good set of crimpers. Cheap ones often don't work well.

  30. Nothing creates more confusion than measuring a booster's output voltage.

    There are several methods, but the simplest is mesuring from one rail to a common ground point on the booster. Read more:

  36. Another Throttle Network is XpressNet

    XpressNet is the throttle bus used by Lenz. Originally called X-Bus.

    XPressNet is a serial protocol built on RS485. Other manufacturers also implement XPressNet for their DCC systems.

  38. Let's talk Throttle Networks.

    The Cab Bus:

    NCE's Throttle Network protocol. A polled network supporting up to 63 addresses. Wangrow's System One & PSI's Dynatrol also employed the Cab Bus. A subset s is the Control Bus, which links boosters together.

  40. What is the 'Bushby Bit' found in #Digitrax DCC command stations?

    The '''Bushby Bit''' is a software switch which prevents turnout changes via the throttle, giving control to the dispatcher or Central Traffic Control.

  42. Short Circuits & DCC:

    Short circuits are bad in any instance. With #digitalcommandcontrol, boosters supply a lot of current, so a short is a very bad thing.

    Most boosters use "rate of change." A sudden spike triggers the protection circuit. Therefore a short can occur, but the booster cannot see it.

    With energy storage in multiple vehicles a false trigger is possible.
