Stationary modules StEin (as well as MX10 in booster already described, both CAN buses are needed: mode) do also use timing information for the DCC track signal on top of the CAN data bus.

However, these modules don’t just operate as simple local detectors, but also read global messages (and forward them to the MX10 command station), because the quality of reception in large layouts can often be better in individual track-sections than at the command station’s loca- tion.
