technology
To combine ABC technology with the
BM1, BM2 and BM3 block section
modules, you will need to use Digital
plus GOLD series locomotive decoders
or other decoders that support the ABC
technology.
3 How does the BM1 work?
With little effort, ABC manages to
accomplish just what model railway
enthusiasts crave:
Exact stopping in front of signals and
passage in the opposite direction. By
means of simple modules which supply
the braking section in front of a signal,
the locomotive decoder receives the
signal status information: if the signal is
"red", the train will stop, if the signal is

"green",
unimpeded.
resulting from
5A peak
Technically, this is realised as follows:
if the signal is "red", the BM1 module
creates an asymmetrical DCC signal
in the braking section. This is detected
by the new GOLD series decoders.
The result is a gentle braking of the
train until it comes to a halt, optionally
with the set braking delay or set
braking distance.
If the train is not to stop, but to
continue unimpeded or to start moving
again after the stopping time has
elapsed, the BM1 will simply be
bridged with a switch.
