DCC Control of Semaphore signals by NCE Powercab

[Tallpaul69]

Hi All,

I have available semaphore signals operated by servos with latching relays from Megapoints servo controllers with Merg DCC interfaces.

 

My question is how do I connect from my NCE Powercab and its System Power Panel to the DCC interfaces?

Also, do I control the signals from the Select Accessory button on the Powercab, or should they be set up as a separate cab with a separate controller?

 

Many thanks

Usually you operate signal's like you do your point's with the accessory button. I haven't used merg  stuff so not sure how they are addressed but I presume they connect to the power bus like other accessory decoder's.

Hi,

 

I don't have a Megapoints servo controller but I do have an NCE Power Cab.

On an NCE Power Cab I've controlled DCC accessories using the accessory button on the cab. No need for another cab. Assuming the Megapoints allows connection to a DCC systems DCC bus then connect the Megapoints DCC bus input in parallel with the two wires to the track on the layout.

 

Regards
