Booster B-6

2.6. Use with BiDiB

The Booster B-6 is in the sense of the BiDiB specification a device of the class "Booster" with
the additional specification "BiDi-(RailCom-)Detector".

2.6.1. Features

According to the BiDiB specification, data can be sent to and from the B-6 via the BiDi bus.
Setting options
On the PC, all settings for the B-6 can be made, e.g.:

output voltage

RailCom cutout on/off

maximum output current

reconnection time after a short circuit
In addition, an update can be carried out via the software.
Status messages and reporting of operating values
During operation, the B-6 sends its current operating status, including information about the
cause of the current status, as well as its current operating values to the PC via BiDiB, e.g.

track voltage at the booster output is switched on ("GO")

track voltage at the booster output is switched off, e.g. due to short circuit,
overtemperature, missing mains voltage ("STOP")

actual current consumption

actual voltage at track output

current operating temperature
These messages can be evaluated by the PC control software and serve as a basis for booster
management.
Integrated RailCom detector
The integrated global RailCom detector sends the RailCom messages from the connected
booster circuit to the PC via BiDiB:

vehicle addresses

CV responses of the vehicle decoders

dynamic information, i.e. CV contents that change during operation: e.g. real speed,
reception statistics, tank contents
