2. Operation overview
Feedback with RailCom
RailCom is a log for bi-directional communication in digital model
railway layouts controlled in DCC-format. It allows e.g. the feedback of
the address and the CV values from RailCom decoders to the digital
control unit or to special receivers (so-called detectors). To transfer the
RailCom messages, special RailCom boosters supplying the so-called
RailCom cutout, have to be used.
Mode of operation
The RailCom display device RCA-1 has to be connected to a local
RailCom detector (e.g. RCD-1) supervising a seperated rail section. The
detector reads out the address and the CV values of a vehicle decoder
in the rail section. In order to read out the CV values a corresponding
reading out command has to be sent. The data is displayed in the
display of the RCA-1.
