Soldering: It's not hard. The right solder + rosin flux combination makes it work. An ESD safe soldering iron is a must for soldering on decoders.

Throttle Networks: CAN Bus

The Control Area Network (CAN) bus is a two-wire communications network originally designed for automotive use. Low-cost, robust and easily-implemented as a layout control bus. Ideal for model rail applications.

Used with LCC (Layout Command Control), MERG's CBUS and by Zimo.

Throttle Networks: TBUS

TBUS (Throttle Bus), was developed by CVP Products as the throttle network for their EasyDCC system. This system uses RG58 or RG59 coaxial cable between fascia plates.

Let's talk Throttle Networks.

The Cab Bus:

NCE's Throttle Network protocol. A polled network supporting up to 63 addresses. Wangrow's System One & PSI's Dynatrol also employed the Cab Bus. A subset s is the Control Bus, which links boosters together.

Having issues programming an #NMRA #DCC multifunction decoder using a #Digitrax DCS50 or 51 (Zephyr/Zephyr Xtra)

"Blast Mode" is an optional high current programming mode available with these command stations.

Decoder Programming Lock is an #NMRADCC optional feature to lock a decoder so it cannot be programmed. This allowed additional decoders in the same vehicle to be programmed individually using a common address.

CVs 15 & 16. If active only CV15 can be read, all others return "Decoder not found".
