I think it a Block signalling board check out there website

Done it with a NCE so dont see why it wont work. John

Hi Andy No sorry I dont use JMRI, never will to be honest. I would use some thing like I train. I would guess 3 aiu,s connected should be ok, as long as they have different cab addresses. strange it only sees the first six id think that was an issue with JMRI itself. John.

Sorry forgot top add For the SB5 6 cabs can be used with the SB5 (Cab address range 2 through 7. John.

Addresses 8/9 and ten are more for the power cab as long as you have version 1.65B. The PH pro its governed by two things the free cab addresses up to 63, and the cab bus load which is one amp before external power is needed. All items inc the face plate draw some current on the cab bus AIU 24mA at idle / 90mA at full load Throttle 85mA - back light flicker = low voltage UTP 30 mA USB interface 30mA John.

Not quite true. The power cab has a 1.8A load output, so you would share the 1.8A across the track and accessory bus, you would only have 0.73A if you maxed out the load on the track. Having said that, if you reached 1.27A then the trip would turn off the power anyway.

Do we have any news on this or has it died a death. Not a lot been said, as it was said to be the best thing for DCC I wonder!!! John.

Hi Jeremy. Im good thanks. ive not made much progress to be honest over the lockdown period. I had a job move just before and no work in north Yorkshire for DCC Concepts which to be honest is taking a lot of my time up The layout has had a new control panel made and is all working fine, the next big job bis the redo the power supply and connection box. Regards. John.

Hi Ron Ron Yes the exact ones John.

Hi. Use a Train Tech digital relay to switch the power feed. And use a switch connected to the minoi panel to turn it on and off Regards. John.

Hi Guys I have used the 4 mini panel entry's to control 4 10 macros stored in the pro system giving you 40 steps on 1 push button I have also mixed accessory commands and macros on a single switch this works fine. If anyone needs help just ask, I also know that there something in the pipeline with more functionality but still akin to a mini panel due out soon

HI Gordon s That looks very smart if I may say so. Well done, is it now connected to your ECoS and working. Regards. John.

Or a pear

DCC Concepts also do a 6 core RJ12 curly cable if you need to source one at any time Regards. John.

Hi Alcanman. Make sure the one you ordered has 6 cores and not 4, if its 4 its not going to work. John.
