HSI-88-USB  

High Speed Interface for the s88-Feedbackbus!

The HSI-88-USB is a Feedback-Interface from a s88-Feedbackbus to an USB-Interface of a Computer.

 The interface includes three s88 bus-plugs. This offers the advantage of a much faster s88 bus handling and the possibility to build up three bus-lines at the layout-system!

All Feedback-Events will be fast transmitted, without any detour via the digital-central-unit, via the USB-Interface  directly to the PC.

A fast (1.1/2.0 Full-Speed USB-Connection) galvanically isolated connection to the computer via USB.

All USB-Units require a so called USB-Unit Driver Software which can be found on a file at the CD „USB-Drivers for DiCoStation and HSI-88-USB“ attached to the HSI-88-USB.

 

The 3 feedback lines additionally enhance the reading-time of the s88-feedback bus by 3-times.

 

3 feedback lines will give you the advantage of a more simple arrangement  of the feedback modules below your layout.

 

It is possible to monitor a total of 31*16 feedback contacts with one bus-line. But in summary of all three bus lines are not more than 31*16 contacts readable.

 

Besides all standard-feedback-modules as s88 from Märklin or our  RM-DEC-88 you can naturally operate the HSI-88-USB as well with our special feedback modules RM-DEC-88-Opto and RM-GB-8.

 

Correct connection of the feedback cables of all three feedback lines to the High Speed Interface HSI-88-USB: to the right and middle connect an  interference-free twisted cable of our feedback module.   to the left hand a ribbon-cable from Märklin or other manufacturer.

 

The HSI-88-USB operates event-driven: any changes on the tracks are reported immediate to the PC. This saves substantial PC resources and reduces the response time considerable because the pc has not to request cyclical about changes but gets all updated changes reported from the interface.

 

If you want to use an own written model-rail-way-software for the communication with the interface HSI-88-USB you can find the relevant programming-commands here!
