Using DR4088 in sequential order

[ITG]

Hopefully an easy answer for those with experience.

I’m building a layout, eventually to use iTrain. Track detection will mainly be by six DR4088LNCS units, which I programmed a while back, allocating feedback addresses 1-16 (unit A) 17-32 (unit B) etc. These will of course be connected by loconet type cables. Now I’m at the wiring stage, my question is - do I need to connect these DR4088s in sequential order, ie with A, then B etc? Or doesn’t the order matter? (I realise I could always re-programme them, but I was trying to get ahead of myself a while back, when I couldn’t actually get on with wiring). The significance is that I will have a lifting section, so it makes sense that I do not need a loconet cable across this baseboard join. By starting with the right DR4088 in the right place (if I need to), I can avoid such a join.

I also have an equivalent Yamorc unit, but I haven’t programmed that yet, so feedback addresses can be decided later.

thanks

Ian

You can install them in any order, but generally people like to install them sequentially as it make for easier fault finding.
