LS-digital products

Hi,

 

I wondered if anybody has tried the LS-digital ucon system?

 

I'm quite interested in the ucon-railspeed product but I cannot find any English documentation.

 

Does the ucon-manager have similar functionality to Marklin's z21 product?

 

TIA

Thanks for correcting me 8-)

 

What does the ucon-manager do? I understand one of these is required for the ucon-railspeed component.

 

Cheers

The ucon manager is a combination of a computer interface and an organising base station for the ucon bus, to which boosters, point and signal decoders, feedback units and the Railspeed are connected.  The Railspeed automatically measures locomotive speed at each speed step and this is stored in the computer programme so that it can make the time and distance calculations necessary to stop trains at the right place.  There is a video on the LS digital website showing this.  The ucon system is intended for use with computer control and you have to have a suitable computer programme; at present the choice is between itrain, Windigipet and Railware.
