DiCoStation with USB- and Booster Connection |
If you wanted to supervice and control your model railway with a PC-Software you had to implement in the past a command station with integrated PC-Interface or an additional external interface suitable to your command station.
The DirectCommandStation (DiCoStation) offers now a low-cost command station which will work without any push-buttons and speed rgulator because this functions will be taken over from the PC-Model Railway Software.
The DiCoStation contains a 1.1/2.0 Full Speed USB-Connection to the PC. All USB-Units require a so called USB-Unit Driver Software. The driver software for Windows Operating Systems can be found on the attached CD "USB-Drivers for DiCoStation and HSI-88-USB".
Via the 5-poles Boosterbus-connection is it possible that up to 10 DigitalBooster DB-2, DB-4 or compatible Booster can supply the required capacity to the rails and to accessory decoders such as Turnout-Decoders with digital informations.
The DiCoStation creates as multiprotocol-central-unit the data formats Märklin-Motorola and DCC which can be available as mixed formats as well.
The DiCoStation contains additionally the connections for three s88-Feedback Lines for up to 496 Feedback Contacts and one Expansion-Port for a programmed-rail-adapter for future extensions.

Motorola-Operation there are with
reference to the implemented decoder up to 255 addresses with 28 driving steps and 8 functions possible.
The
DiCoStation will support within the DCC format

turnout addresses. For the
Märklin-Motorola-Data Format will be 320 turnout -addresses supported.
Software-Updates for the DiCoStation can be
carried out directly from the PC via the USB-Interface.
The DiCoStation can be operated with any
Model-Railway-Software which supports the data-protocol (P50) of the
Märklin-Interface 6051 (only Märklin-Motorola-Data
Format) or even better the extended data-protocol (P50x)
of the Intellibox (Märklin-Motorola- and/or DCC-Data Format).
