2.6.2. Possible applications

The Booster B-6 can be operated together with up to 31 other nodes on one level. It can be
used together with different types of so-called track output devices in the BiDi bus:

Digital central units with integrated BiDiB-PC interface (e.g. MasterControl 2**).

Digital central units without BiDiB interface (e.g. MasterControl**, RedBox**) in
combination with BiDiB PC interfaces (e.g. ZEUS**)
In both variants, all settings for the B-6 can be made on the PC with the help of software that
supports BiDiB. The B-6 sends its status messages and operating values as well as the
RailCom messages to the PC via the BiDi bus. These messages serve as the basis for the
booster management of the control software, which, for example, ensures that the booster is
switched off in the event of a short circuit or overtemperature.
With digital central units with integrated BiDiB PC interface
The DCC track signals are sent to the B-6 via the BiDi bus. Vehicle decoders and conventional
accessory decoders that are not designed for BiDiB receive their digital commands via the rails
in the connected booster circuit.
With digital central units without BiDiB interface
The DCC track signals are sent to the B-6 via the DCC-compliant ("CDE") booster interface.
Status messages and operating values of the B-6 as well as the RailCom messages are sent
from the B-6 to the PC via the BiDiB PC interface and are available there as a basis for the
booster management of the control software.
