English RCD-1
Passing on and displaying data
There is no display integrated in the RCD-1. In order to display the
received data special RailCom display devices have to be connected
(e.g. single display device RCA-1 or 24-fold display device RCA-24).
These display devices can be mounted in those places of the railway
layout where needed. Instead of display devices, units passing on data
to a PC or to the digital control unit can be connected.
Detector and display device are connected via a special databus line. It
is possible to connect several detectors and several display devices to
one common databus line. To assign the detectors and the display
devices they get addresses from 1 to 24.
Example 1: To each of the six detectors RCD-1 is assigned both a single display
device RCA-1 and the 24-fold display device RCA-24. Changing the assignment is
done by just changing the devices´addresses (see example 2).
Example 2: Four single display devices are assigned to the detector RCD-1 #1 and
two to the detector RCD-1 #2. The detectors RCD-1 #1 to 6 are assigned to the
24-fold display device RCD-24.
