LCC WiFi Panel

2024-01-14T18:02:55Z

TCSEngineering:

The LCC WiFi Panel provides four main features to an LCC system:

#LCC CAN-bus to LCC WiFi Interface.
##Computer interface over WiFi.
##Expansion for additional LCC WiFi throttles.
#Fascia access for two plug in LCC Throttles
#[[XpressNet]] or [[Cab Bus]] bridging through the AUX Cabs connector.
#Power injection to the LCC CAN-bus and AUX Cabs bus (when used with the optional external power supply).

XpressNet

2024-01-14T18:00:17Z

TCSEngineering:

XpressNetTM is the name given to the throttle network created by Lenz and also implemented by other model railway electronics manufacturers. Electrically, XpressNetTM is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 62.5 Kbaud. The [[CS-105]] provides hardware support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled AUX Cabs. Software support is now available starting with CS-105 software version 2.0. Hardware and software support is also available on the AUX Cabs port of the [[LCC WiFi Panel]].

==Unsupported Features==
Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNet. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

===Locomotive Addresses===
Locomotive addresses 1-99 are always DCC short addresses. Locomotive Addresses 100-9999 are always DCC long addresses.

===Locomotive Speed Step mode===
Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNet device requests 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.

===Locomotive Functions===
By default, function 2 is hard-coded to momentary. All other functions are hard-coded to latching. Function momentary or latching mode can be customized in the command stations database and is loaded from the command station database if available. Function momentary or latching mode setup from an XpressNet device is not supported. Functions 29 through 68 are not currently supported.

===Locomotive Consisting===
Consist setup is not supported. Consists setup on a native LCC throttle (such as the UWT-100 or UWT-50) will operate from an XpressNet device using any of the consist members' addresses. The XpressNet throttle does not indicate consist membership.

===Locomotive Real-Time Updates===
If the locomotive is also under the control of another device, the XpresssNet throttle is notified. This is often indicated by a flashing display. However, unsolicited real-time speed and function updates are not provided do to the XpressNet protocol not supporting this feature..

===Programming===
Program Track and Program on the Main is not supported.

===Model Time===
Model Time (Fast Clock) is not currently supported.

===Accessory Activation and Feedback===
Activation and Feedback is available for DCC accessory decoder addresses 1 - 2044. Addresses above 2044 are not supported. Lenz feedback input modules are not supported.

==Supported and Unsupported Command Summary==
Please see the [https://www.lenz-elektronik.de/src/pdf/Lenz_XpressNet_Doku.pdf XpressNet Documentation] for additional information about the XpressNet protocol.

1 Only supports Broadcast Feedback for one address (pair) at a time.

2 The CS-105 reports version 3.6. It does support some version 3.8 commands.

3 Support for Command Station Busy is unnecessary because the CS-105 is always able to respond and never needs to report that it is busy.

TCSEngineering:

XpressNetTM is the name given to the throttle network created by Lenz and also implemented by other model railway electronics manufacturers. Electrically, XpressNetTM is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 62.5 Kbaud. The CS-105 provides hardware support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled AUX Cabs. Software support is now available starting with CS-105 software version 2.0. Hardware and software support is also available on the AUX Cabs port of the [[LCC WiFi Panel]].

==Unsupported Features==
Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNet. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

===Locomotive Addresses===
Locomotive addresses 1-99 are always DCC short addresses. Locomotive Addresses 100-9999 are always DCC long addresses.

===Locomotive Speed Step mode===
Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNet device requests 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.

===Locomotive Functions===
By default, function 2 is hard-coded to momentary. All other functions are hard-coded to latching. Function momentary or latching mode can be customized in the command stations database and is loaded from the command station database if available. Function momentary or latching mode setup from an XpressNet device is not supported. Functions 29 through 68 are not currently supported.

===Locomotive Consisting===
Consist setup is not supported. Consists setup on a native LCC throttle (such as the UWT-100 or UWT-50) will operate from an XpressNet device using any of the consist members' addresses. The XpressNet throttle does not indicate consist membership.

===Locomotive Real-Time Updates===
If the locomotive is also under the control of another device, the XpresssNet throttle is notified. This is often indicated by a flashing display. However, unsolicited real-time speed and function updates are not provided do to the XpressNet protocol not supporting this feature..

===Programming===
Program Track and Program on the Main is not supported.

===Model Time===
Model Time (Fast Clock) is not currently supported.

===Accessory Activation and Feedback===
Activation and Feedback is available for DCC accessory decoder addresses 1 - 2044. Addresses above 2044 are not supported. Lenz feedback input modules are not supported.

==Supported and Unsupported Command Summary==
Please see the [https://www.lenz-elektronik.de/src/pdf/Lenz_XpressNet_Doku.pdf XpressNet Documentation] for additional information about the XpressNet protocol.

1 Only supports Broadcast Feedback for one address (pair) at a time.

2 The CS-105 reports version 3.6. It does support some version 3.8 commands.

3 Support for Command Station Busy is unnecessary because the CS-105 is always able to respond and never needs to report that it is busy.

DCC Accessory to LCC Event Translation Table

2024-01-05T02:52:51Z

TCSEngineering:

The LCC events event space has a well known translation for DCC Accessory addresses. An LCC event is a unique 64-bit value. By convention, it is denoted by a dot separated sequence of hexadecimal format bytes. Here is an example that corresponds to DCC Accessory Address 1, R/Off state.
01.01.02.00.00.FF.00.08
The following is a comprehensive table of all DCC accessory address to LCC Event ID Mappings

TCSEngineering: /* Supported and Unsupported Command Summary */

XpressNetTM is the name given to the throttle network created by Lenz and also implemented by other model railway electronics manufacturers. Electrically, XpressNetTM is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 62.5 Kbaud. The CS-105 provides hardware support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled "Auxiliary". Software support is in development. A beta version is available, contact TCS for more information.

==Unsupported Features==
Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNet. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

===Locomotive Addresses===
Locomotive addresses 1-99 are always DCC short addresses. Locomotive Addresses 100-9999 are always DCC long addresses.

===Locomotive Speed Step mode===
Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNet device requests 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.

===Locomotive Functions===
Function 2 is hard-coded to momentary. All other functions are hard-coded to latching. Function momentary or latching mode setup is not supported. Functions 29 through 68 are not supported.

===Locomotive Consisting===
Consist setup is not supported. Consists setup on a native LCC throttle (such as the UWT-100 or UWT-50) will operate from an XpressNet device using any of the consist members' addresses. The XpressNet throttle does not indicate consist membership.

===Locomotive Real-Time Updates===
No indication is provided if the locomotive is also under the control of another device, and no real-time speed and function updates from other devices are provided.

===Programming===
Program Track and Program on the Main is not supported.

===Model Time===
Model Time (Fast Clock) is not currently supported.

===Accessory Activation and Feedback===
Activation and Feedback is available for DCC accessory decoder addresses 1 - 2044. Addresses above 2044 are not supported. Lenz feedback input modules are not supported.

==Supported and Unsupported Command Summary==
Please see the [https://www.lenz-elektronik.de/src/pdf/Lenz_XpressNet_Doku.pdf XpressNet Documentation] for additional information about the XpressNet protocol.

1 Only supports Broadcast Feedback for one address (pair) at a time.

2 The CS-105 reports version 3.6. It does support some version 3.8 commands.

3 Support for Command Station Busy is unnecessary because the CS-105 is always able to respond and never needs to report that it is busy.

TCSEngineering: /* Supported and Unsupported Command Summary */

XpressNetTM is the name given to the throttle network created by Lenz and also implemented by other model railway electronics manufacturers. Electrically, XpressNetTM is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 62.5 Kbaud. The CS-105 provides hardware support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled "Auxiliary". Software support is in development. A beta version is available, contact TCS for more information.

==Unsupported Features==
Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNet. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

===Locomotive Addresses===
Locomotive addresses 1-99 are always DCC short addresses. Locomotive Addresses 100-9999 are always DCC long addresses.

===Locomotive Speed Step mode===
Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNet device requests 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.

===Locomotive Functions===
Function 2 is hard-coded to momentary. All other functions are hard-coded to latching. Function momentary or latching mode setup is not supported. Functions 29 through 68 are not supported.

===Locomotive Consisting===
Consist setup is not supported. Consists setup on a native LCC throttle (such as the UWT-100 or UWT-50) will operate from an XpressNet device using any of the consist members' addresses. The XpressNet throttle does not indicate consist membership.

===Locomotive Real-Time Updates===
No indication is provided if the locomotive is also under the control of another device, and no real-time speed and function updates from other devices are provided.

===Programming===
Program Track and Program on the Main is not supported.

===Model Time===
Model Time (Fast Clock) is not currently supported.

===Accessory Activation and Feedback===
Activation and Feedback is available for DCC accessory decoder addresses 1 - 2044. Addresses above 2044 are not supported. Lenz feedback input modules are not supported.

==Supported and Unsupported Command Summary==
Please see the [https://www.lenz-elektronik.de/src/pdf/Lenz_XpressNet_Doku.pdf XpressNet Documentation] for additional information about the XpressNet protocol.

1 Only supports Broadcast Feedback for one address (pair) at a time.

2 The CS-105 reports version 3.0. It does support some version 3.6 and 3.8 commands.

3 Support for Command Station Busy is unnecessary because the CS-105 is always able to respond and never needs to report that it is busy.

TCSEngineering: TCSEngineering moved page XpressNET to XpressNet

XpressNetTM is the name given to the throttle network created by Lenz and also implemented by other model railway electronics manufacturers. Electrically, XpressNetTM is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 62.5 Kbaud. The CS-105 provides hardware support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled "Auxiliary". Software support is in development. A beta version is available, contact TCS for more information.

==Unsupported Features==
Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNet. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

===Locomotive Addresses===
Locomotive addresses 1-99 are always DCC short addresses. Locomotive Addresses 100-9999 are always DCC long addresses.

===Locomotive Speed Step mode===
Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNet device requests 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.

===Locomotive Functions===
Function 2 is hard-coded to momentary. All other functions are hard-coded to latching. Function momentary or latching mode setup is not supported. Functions 29 through 68 are not supported.

===Locomotive Consisting===
Consist setup is not supported. Consists setup on a native LCC throttle (such as the UWT-100 or UWT-50) will operate from an XpressNet device using any of the consist members' addresses. The XpressNet throttle does not indicate consist membership.

===Locomotive Real-Time Updates===
No indication is provided if the locomotive is also under the control of another device, and no real-time speed and function updates from other devices are provided.

===Programming===
Program Track and Program on the Main is not supported.

===Model Time===
Model Time (Fast Clock) is not currently supported.

===Accessory Activation and Feedback===
Activation and Feedback is available for DCC accessory decoder addresses 1 - 2044. Addresses above 2044 are not supported. Lenz feedback input modules are not supported.

==Supported and Unsupported Command Summary==
Please see the [https://www.lenz-elektronik.de/src/pdf/Lenz_XpressNet_Doku.pdf XpressNet Documentation] for additional information about the XpressNet protocol.

1 Only supports Broadcast Feedback for one address (pair) at a time.

2 The CS-105 reports version 3.0. It does support some version 3.6 and 3.8 commands.

3 Support for Command Station Busy is unnecessary because the CS-105 is always able to respond and never needs to report that it is busy.

TCSEngineering: /* Copyright & Trademarks */

XpressNetTM is the name given to the throttle network created by Lenz and also implemented by other model railway electronics manufacturers. Electrically, XpressNetTM is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 62.5 Kbaud. The CS-105 provides hardware support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled "Auxiliary". Software support is in development. A beta version is available, contact TCS for more information.

==Unsupported Features==
Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNet. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

===Locomotive Addresses===
Locomotive addresses 1-99 are always DCC short addresses. Locomotive Addresses 100-9999 are always DCC long addresses.

===Locomotive Speed Step mode===
Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNet device requests 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.

===Locomotive Functions===
Function 2 is hard-coded to momentary. All other functions are hard-coded to latching. Function momentary or latching mode setup is not supported. Functions 29 through 68 are not supported.

===Locomotive Consisting===
Consist setup is not supported. Consists setup on a native LCC throttle (such as the UWT-100 or UWT-50) will operate from an XpressNet device using any of the consist members' addresses. The XpressNet throttle does not indicate consist membership.

===Locomotive Real-Time Updates===
No indication is provided if the locomotive is also under the control of another device, and no real-time speed and function updates from other devices are provided.

===Programming===
Program Track and Program on the Main is not supported.

===Model Time===
Model Time (Fast Clock) is not currently supported.

===Accessory Activation and Feedback===
Activation and Feedback is available for DCC accessory decoder addresses 1 - 2044. Addresses above 2044 are not supported. Lenz feedback input modules are not supported.

==Supported and Unsupported Command Summary==
Please see the [https://www.lenz-elektronik.de/src/pdf/Lenz_XpressNet_Doku.pdf XpressNet Documentation] for additional information about the XpressNet protocol.

1 Only supports Broadcast Feedback for one address (pair) at a time.

2 The CS-105 reports version 3.0. It does support some version 3.6 and 3.8 commands.

3 Support for Command Station Busy is unnecessary because the CS-105 is always able to respond and never needs to report that it is busy.

TCSEngineering: /* Supported and Unsupported Command Summary */

XpressNETTM is the name given to the throttle network created by Lenz and also implemented by other model railway electronics manufacturers. Electrically, XpressNETTM is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 62.5 Kbaud. The CS-105 provides hardware support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled "Auxiliary". Software support is in development. A beta version is available, contact TCS for more information.

==Unsupported Features==
Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNET. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

===Locomotive Addresses===
Locomotive addresses 1-99 are always DCC short addresses. Locomotive Addresses 100-9999 are always DCC long addresses.

===Locomotive Speed Step mode===
Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNET device requests 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.

===Locomotive Functions===
Function 2 is hard-coded to momentary. All other functions are hard-coded to latching. Function momentary or latching mode setup is not supported. Functions 29 through 68 are not supported.

===Locomotive Consisting===
Consist setup is not supported. Consists setup on a native LCC throttle (such as the UWT-100 or UWT-50) will operate from an XpressNET device using any of the consist members' addresses. The XpressNET throttle does not indicate consist membership.

===Locomotive Real-Time Updates===
No indication is provided if the locomotive is also under the control of another device, and no real-time speed and function updates from other devices are provided.

===Programming===
Program Track and Program on the Main is not supported.

===Model Time===
Model Time (Fast Clock) is not currently supported.

===Accessory Activation and Feedback===
Activation and Feedback is available for DCC accessory decoder addresses 1 - 2044. Addresses above 2044 are not supported. Lenz feedback input modules are not supported.

1 Only supports Broadcast Feedback for one address (pair) at a time.

2 The CS-105 reports version 3.0. It does support some version 3.6 and 3.8 commands.

3 Support for Command Station Busy is unnecessary because the CS-105 is always able to respond and never needs to report that it is busy.

TCSEngineering: /* Locomotive Speed Step mode */

XpressNETTM is the name given to the throttle network created by Lenz and also implemented by other model railway electronics manufacturers. Electrically, XpressNETTM is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 62.5 Kbaud. The CS-105 provides hardware support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled "Auxiliary". Software support is in development. A beta version is available, contact TCS for more information.

==Unsupported Features==
Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNET. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

===Locomotive Addresses===
Locomotive addresses 1-99 are always DCC short addresses. Locomotive Addresses 100-9999 are always DCC long addresses.

===Locomotive Speed Step mode===
Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNET device requests 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.

===Locomotive Functions===
Function 2 is hard-coded to momentary. All other functions are hard-coded to latching. Function momentary or latching mode setup is not supported. Functions 29 through 68 are not supported.

===Locomotive Consisting===
Consist setup is not supported. Consists setup on a native LCC throttle (such as the UWT-100 or UWT-50) will operate from an XpressNET device using any of the consist members' addresses. The XpressNET throttle does not indicate consist membership.

===Locomotive Real-Time Updates===
No indication is provided if the locomotive is also under the control of another device, and no real-time speed and function updates from other devices are provided.

===Programming===
Program Track and Program on the Main is not supported.

===Model Time===
Model Time (Fast Clock) is not currently supported.

===Accessory Activation and Feedback===
Activation and Feedback is available for DCC accessory decoder addresses 1 - 2044. Addresses above 2044 are not supported. Lenz feedback input modules are not supported.

1 Only supports Broadcast Feedback for one address (pair) at a time.

2 The CS-105 reports version 3.0. It does support some version 3.6 and 3.8 commands.

3 Support for Command Station Busy is unnecessary because the CS-105 is always able to respond and never needs to report that it is busy.

XpressNETTM is the name given to the throttle network created by Lenz and also implemented by other model railway electronics manufacturers. Electrically, XpressNETTM is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 62.5 Kbaud. The CS-105 provides hardware support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled "Auxiliary". Software support is in development. A beta version is available, contact TCS for more information.

==Unsupported Features==
Some of the unsupported features are due to intrinsic limitations of translation between LCC and XpressNET. Support for some of the unsupported features may be added as time and development resources permit, and will be prioritized based on customer feedback. Only commands starting with XpressNet 3.0 and beyond are supported. X-Bus V1 and V2 commands are not supported.

===Locomotive Addresses===
Locomotive addresses 1-99 are always DCC short addresses. Locomotive Addresses 100-9999 are always DCC long addresses.

===Locomotive Speed Step mode===
Locomotives are always controlled in 128 speed step mode. If an XpressNET device may request 14, 27, or 28 speed step mode, the CS-105 will emulate the speed step mode and automatically translate an interpolated 128 speed step to the locomotive.

===Locomotive Functions===
Function 2 is hard-coded to momentary. All other functions are hard-coded to latching. Function momentary or latching mode setup is not supported. Functions 29 through 68 are not supported.

===Locomotive Consisting===
Consist setup is not supported. Consists setup on a native LCC throttle (such as the UWT-100 or UWT-50) will operate from an XpressNET device using any of the consist members' addresses. The XpressNET throttle does not indicate consist membership.

===Locomotive Real-Time Updates===
No indication is provided if the locomotive is also under the control of another device, and no real-time speed and function updates from other devices are provided.

===Programming===
Program Track and Program on the Main is not supported.

===Model Time===
Model Time (Fast Clock) is not currently supported.

===Accessory Activation and Feedback===
Activation and Feedback is available for DCC accessory decoder addresses 1 - 2044. Addresses above 2044 are not supported. Lenz feedback input modules are not supported.

1 Only supports Broadcast Feedback for one address (pair) at a time.

2 The CS-105 reports version 3.0. It does support some version 3.6 and 3.8 commands.

3 Support for Command Station Busy is unnecessary because the CS-105 is always able to respond and never needs to report that it is busy.

Cab Bus

2023-03-05T21:15:19Z

TCSEngineering: /* Supported Hardware */

Cab Bus is the name given to the throttle network that is used in the NCE, Ramtraxx, and SystemOne DCC systems. Electrically, Cab Bus is based around half duplex RS-485 and is a polled network running at 9600 baud. The CS-105 provides support for this bus protocol through the RJ12 port labeled "Auxiliary".

'''WARNING:''' Cab Bus Address 1 is reserved and should not be used.

==CS-105 Support==
While every effort has been made to provide a seamless user experience compared to Cab Bus throttles on their original system(s), a few features have been added in order to enhance the user experience further. Most of these added features are only available on NCE, Ramtraxx, and SystemOne Cabs with a 2x16 character LCD, often referred to as a ProCabTM.

==NCE Wireless System==
The NCE wireless system is fully supported. Because of some intrinsic properties of the NCE wireless system, the behavior of throttles operating while wireless will differ as follows:

#The '''EXPN''' button on a ProCabTM is reserved for wireless setup. The '''EXPN''' button will not work as described in the section(s) below. To use the '''EXPN''' button as described below, on a wireless cab, plug the cab in such that it is not using wireless.
#Normally, when the '''Horn/Whistle''' button is pressed, the appropriately assigned function status is changed to active on the LCD for the duration during which the '''Horn/Whistle''' button is held down. Because the NCE wireless system provides less communications bandwidth than when running wired, this feature is disabled in wireless mode. This helps to improve overall performance.
#Custom graphics, such as the bell, whistle, and superscript numbers are not displayed. The NCE wireless system does not support custom graphics when operating in wireless mode.

==Main LCD Screen==
The screen layout for ProCabTM support has been designed to closely match that of the original system(s). The general positioning of things such as the loco number, speed, direction, and active functions remain largely unchanged, while at the same time being enhanced to offer more information.

[[File:Cab Bus Enhanced Layout Comparison.jpg|frameless|500px]]

The user experience of the main LCD screen has been enhanced. With these enhancements, It is now possible to view the status of up to 28 functions and display locomotive names that are longer than four digits. To rotate between displaying functions 0 - 9, 10 - 19, and 20 - 28 respectively, one can use the "sticky shift" key. Sticky shift is accessed by pressing the '''Headlight''' key while holding down the '''Shift''' key.
The following example shows a traditional four digit locomotive address on the first row, as well as a system clock. The second row shows the current direction, with F for forward and R for reverse, the current speed, and functions 0(L), 9, 10, 15, 19, 20, and 28 turned on respectively. Note the '''<nowiki/>'.'<nowiki/>''' and '''<nowiki/>':'''' characters. When present, these denote which decade of functions is being shown.

'''<nowiki/><nowiki/><nowiki/>'''

[[File:Cab Bus Loco Speed, Direction, and Function Display.jpg|frameless|500px]]

The following example shows a greater than four digit locomotive name on the first row while the second row shows R for reverse, 035 for speed, and functions L, 9, 10, 15, 19, 20, and 28 turned on respectively. Note the superscript '''<nowiki/>'1'''<nowiki/>' and '''<nowiki/>'2'''' numbers. When present, these denote which decade of functions is being shown. Because custom superscript graphics are not supported in wireless mode, they are not used when operating in wireless mode.

'''<nowiki/>'''<nowiki/>'''<nowiki/>'''

[[File:Cab Bus Loco Speed, Direction, and Function Display Superscript.jpg|frameless|500px]]

When a greater than four digit locomotive address is active, up to 12 total digits can be shown. Up to the first six digits are always shown, however, the '''Enter''' key can be used to toggle between showing digits 7 through 14 or the clock.

==Select Loco==
The '''Select Loco''' button has been expanded to allow additional entry methods.
{| class="wikitable"
!Number of times the Select Loco Key is pressed
!Action
|-
|1
|Enter a two or for digit DCC address. To enter a four-digit address that is less than 128, add an extra leading zero. Example: to select long address 58, type in 058
|-
|2
|Enter Märklin-Motorola address
|-
|3
|Scrolling list of database search query results. Enter digits to filter the list. Use the INC/DEC buttons or thumbwheel encoder to scroll through the list.
|}
The scrolling list search entry can be particularly useful when trying to use locomotive protocols that are not DCC or Märklin-Motorola. A direct wireless equipped locomotive designed to natively use the LCC protocol is one such example. Up and down arrows indicate which direction(s) the list can be scrolled. Because custom graphics are not supported in wireless mode, a '.' is used in their place for the up and down arrows when operating in wireless mode.
The additional entry methods are only available on cabs that have LCD's. For cabs without LCD's (Cab-04, Cab-06, etc…), address entry is always DCC mode and search is not supported.<blockquote>Support is under development for assigning a non-DCC address to a cab without an LCD through the '''ASSIGN LOCO->CAB''' programming menu on an LCD cab. This will be available through a software update that can be applied by the user.</blockquote>[[File:Cab Bus Select Loco.jpg|frameless|500px]]

==Macro Button==
The '''Macro''' key allows for the execution of traditional macros managed by the command station. However, it also allows for sending 64-bit LCC events. If the number entered exceeds the maximum Macro number supported, the menu heading will switch from '''MACRO''' to '''EVENT'''. Press '''Enter''' after all 16 hexadecimal digits of the event have been entered in order to send the LCC event number onto the LCC bus. While cumbersome for normal operations, the ability to manually enter and send a 16-digit hexadecimal LCC event can be a useful troubleshooting tool. The '''EXPN''' key can be pressed to enter hexadecimal digits A through F.
 [[File:Cab Bus Macro.jpg|frameless|500px]]

==Select Accessory==
Upon entering an accessory address, the last known state of the accessory (N/ON or R/OFF) will be indicated with an arrow (< or >). If the last state is unknown, a question mark will be displayed.
 [[File:Cab Bus Select Accessory.jpg|frameless|500px]]

==Locomotive Functions==
Because the Command Station database supports associating locomotive specific functions types with a given function number (Bell, Horn, Whistle, etc…), the function number on the display can be substituted for an appropriate symbol or letter representing that function type.
When pressing the '''EXPN''' button, the user can view the status of all functions 0 through 28. Superscript characters are used in order to delimit functions 10 through 19 and 20 through 28. [[File:Cab Bus Locomotive Functions.jpg|frameless]]

==Emergency Stop==
When pressed, the red Emergency Stop button activates the global locomotive E-Stop. ProCabTM style throttles will blink the text "E-STOP" in the upper right hand corner of the display. Any throttle can resume normal operations by pressing the red Emergency Stop button again.

==AIU Support==
The NCE Auxiliary Input Unit (AIU01) is fully supported. This device provides 14 binary state inputs. Whenever an input changes state, the CS-105 will send a corresponding LCC Event ID. The Event IDs produced are fixed and use the following pattern:
{| class="wikitable"
!State
!LCC Event ID (Hexidecimal Format)
|-
|Off
|09 . 00 . 99 . FE . FF . FD . < Cab Bus Address > . < (2 * (Input Index - 1)) + 0 >
|-
|On
|09 . 00 . 99 . FE . FF . FD . < Cab Bus Address > . < (2 * (Input Index - 1)) + 1 >
|}

*'''Cab Bus Address''' is the address assigned to the AIU. Valid values are 2 through 63. The default factory programmed address is 4.
*'''Input Index''' is the input number as labeled on the AIU. Valid values are 1 through 14.

==Overview==
The Booster Adapter can be used to adapt different manufacturers' boosters (and command stations) together. This product is intended to offer a quick and easy way to "plug and play" command stations and boosters. Whether upgrading a booster network, command station, or both, the Booster Adapter can help make setup quick and painless!
The Booster Adapter has several on-board plug and terminal connections for:

#LCC CAN-bus
#NCE "Control Bus"
#Digitrax "L.Net-B"
#Lenz "CD"

Some use cases include:

#Connecting a CS-105 to NCE Booster(s)
#Connecting a CS-105 to Digitrax Booster(s)
#Connecting a CS-105 to Lenz Booster(s)
#Connecting a Digitrax command station to NCE Booster(s) (and vice versa)
#Connecting a NCE command station to TCS Booster(s)
#And many more combinations!

The BA-100 can also provide power for other LCC devices distributed around your layout using the on-board barrel jack and an external 15V power supply (not included).

==Included In Package==

*BA-100 Booster Adapter board x1
*Option Jumpers x4

==Physical Interfaces==
The Booster Adapter has a few notable physical features:

#2-pin screw terminal designed for the Lenz style "CD" lines. The "E" line is not supported and may be left unconnected at the booster.
#2.5mm x 5.5mm barrel jack for Power In
#Configuration Jumpers (see details below)
#Two RJ-11 4-Pin jacks (for use with NCE Control Bus)
#Two RJ-12 6-Pin jacks (for use with LocoNet® / L.Net-B)
#Two "LCC" RJ-45 jacks (1x Front: For T-50; 2x Rear for LCC Bus)

[[File:Booster Breakout Board.jpg|frameless|600x600px]]

===Configuration Jumpers===
Refer to the table below for information on the configuration jumpers available on the Booster Adapter:
{| class="wikitable"
!Jumper Position
!Description
|-
|DCC Polarity
|This jumper pair may be rotated in order to flip the track output phase of the DCC signal between the LCC CAN-bus and the Control Bus / L.Net-B / CD. This will result in the track output phase of Control Bus / L.Net-B / CD boosters being flipped relative to boosters on the LCC CAN-bus.

This is useful when mixing LCC and non-LCC boosters. If a short circuit is observed when crossing between LCC and non-LCC booster boundaries due to a phase difference, this is an alternative to manually flipping the track wiring at the track outputs.
|-
|LCC Power
|This jumper pair determines how power will be routed between the two LCC RJ-45 jacks (Pin 8 in the LCC CAN-bus Standard S-9.7.1.1). The '''Pass''' setting connects pin 8 of the two LCC jacks together so that power passes between them. The '''Output''' setting disconnects pin 8 from passing between the two LCC jacks and requires an external 15VDC power supply in order to feed up to 400mA of current independently into each LCC jack.
|}

==Additional Information==

===Booster Common===
TCS always recommends for users to provide a booster common whenever two or more boosters are in use. This is especially important for boosters that are not electrically isolated. More information can be found on the [[Booster Interface]] page under [[Booster Interface#Booster Common|Booster Common]].

===Configuration Jumpers===
Refer to the table below for information on the configuration jumpers available on the Booster Adapter:
{| class="wikitable"
!Jumper Position
!Description
|-
|DCC Polarity
|This jumper pair may be rotated in order to flip the track output phase of the DCC signal between the LCC CAN-bus and the Control Bus / L.Net-B / CD. This will result in the track output phase of Control Bus / L.Net-B / CD boosters being flipped relative to boosters on the LCC CAN-bus.

This is useful when mixing LCC and non-LCC boosters. If a short circuit is observed when crossing between LCC and non-LCC booster boundaries due to a phase difference, this is an alternative to manually flipping the track wiring at the track outputs.
|-
|LCC Power
|This jumper pair determines how power will be routed between the LCC RJ-45 jacks (Pin 8 in the LCC-CAN Standard S-9.7.1.1). The '''Pass''' setting connects pin 8 of the two LCC jacks together so that power passes between them. The '''Output''' setting disconnects pin 8 from passing between the two LCC jacks and requires and external 15VDC power supply in order to feed up to 400mA of current independently into each LCC jack.

|-
|DCC Polarity
|These jumpers may be rotated in order to flip the track output phase of the DCC signal between the LCC bus and the Control Bus / L.NET-B / CD. This will result in the track output phase of Control Bus / L.NET-B / CD boosters being flipped relative to boosters on the LCC bus. This is useful when mixing LCC boosters such as the CS-105 and B-106 if a short circuit is observed crossing between LCC and non-LCC booster boundaries as an alternative to manually flipping the track wiring at the booster track outputs.
|-
|LCC Power
|This pair of jumpers determines how power will be routed between the LCC RJ-45 jacks (Pin 8 in the LCC-CAN Standard S-9.7.1.1). The '''Pass''' setting connects pin 8 of the two LCC jacks together so that power passes between them. The '''Output''' setting disconnects pin 8 from passing between the two LCC jacks and requires and external 15VDC power supply in order to feed up to 400mA of current independently into each LCC jack.

Booster Interface

TCSEngineering: /* Non-Electrically Isolated Boosters */

<noinclude>TCS command station and booster products (CS-105, B-106, etc...) use the NMRA Standard [https://www.nmra.org/sites/default/files/standards/sandrp/pdf/s-9.1.2_power_station_interface.pdf S-9.1.2 Power Station Interface] Full Scale Interface method. TCS command station and booster products are compatible with other manufacturers' products that use the same Full Scale Interface. This includes, but not limited to, command stations and boosters from:

*Digitrax
*Lenz
*NCE

TCS command station and booster products are not directly compatible with the alternative Driver/Receiver Interface method.</noinclude>

==Power Station Interface on TCS Command Stations and Boosters==
TCS products use the OpenLCB/LCC NMRA S-9.7.1.1 CAN Physical Layer, which consists of an RJ-45 connector routing the CAN signals, power, and the two ALT signals on pins 4 & 5. This diagram below shows the pin-out for the RJ-45 connector as used in S-9.7.1.1 and on the TCS CS-105 and B-106 products. TCS utilizes the ALT_L/ALT_H signals on pins 4 & 5 (labeled DCC B & DCC A) for the Full Scale Power Station Interface. These signals are used when connecting to other manufacturers' command stations and boosters.

[[File:LCC Pinout.png|500px]]

Pin 4 "DCC B" is the "Low" rail, which swings negative during the DCC signal procession. When wiring a layout, this pin will correspond to the "Left" rail (typically BLACK). On the CS-105 the DCC B pin corresponds to and follows the Mainline output pin labeled "B".

Pin 5 "DCC A" is the "High" rail, which swings positive during the DCC signal procession. When wiring a layout, this pin will correspond to the "Right" rail (typically RED). On the CS-105 the DCC A pin corresponds to and follows the Mainline output pin labeled "A".

When wiring a TCS Command Station into a TCS booster, all you need to do to pass these signals is to connect a single RJ-45 cable between the LCC ports on each device. For examples of ways that you can interface a TCS Command Station with other manufacturers' boosters, or a TCS booster with another manufacturer's command station, see the examples listed below.

==Digitrax CS to TCS Booster or TCS CS to Digitrax Booster==
[[File:Booster Interface (LCC to Digitrax).png|800px]] '''Important Requirement:''' Most Digitrax boosters are not electrically isolated (sometimes referred to as "opto-isolated"). Unless using an electrically isolated booster, a booster common must be used. The booster common terminal is typically labeled "GR" on Digitrax boosters and command stations and labeled "Common" on TCS boosters and command stations. For more information, see section [[#Booster Common]] below.

==Lenz CS to TCS Booster or TCS CS to Lenz Booster==
[[File:Booster Interface (LCC to Lenz).png|800px]]
 '''Note:''' All Lenz Boosters are electrically isolated, however a booster common is still recommended. The booster common terminal is typically labeled "⊥" on Lenz boosters and command stations and labeled "Common" on TCS boosters and command stations. Some Lenz command stations and boosters do not have a booster common terminal. For more information, see section [[#Booster Common]] below.

==NCE CS to TCS Booster or TCS CS to NCE Booster==
[[File:Booster Interface (LCC to NCE).png|800px]]
 '''Note:''' All NCE Boosters are electrically isolated, however, a booster common is still recommended. The booster common is typically found on the metal enclosure screw(s) on NCE boosters and command stations and labeled "Common" on TCS boosters and command stations. For more information, see section [[#Booster Common]] below.

<noinclude>
==Booster Interface Conversion Board==
TCS has developed a convenient conversion board to aid in mixing OpenLCB/LCC based command stations and boosters that use the NMRA standard Full Scale Power Station Interface, such as those offered by TCS, with other popular manufacturers. You can read more about this product on the [[Booster_Adapter|Booster Adapter]] page.

[[File:Booster Breakout Board.jpg|frameless]]</noinclude>

==Configuration Settings==
TCS command station and booster products are integrated with advanced RailCom® features. Most boosters on the market do not support the same advanced RailCom® feature set. As such, it is best to appropriately reconfigure certain settings as described below depending on your setup.

When using a TCS command station with a booster that does not support RailCom® feedback over the Power Station Interface, it is recommended to choose the "'''Enabled with no RailCom'''" option for the '''System Settings -> Advanced Options -> Drive LCC Boosters''' option.

When using a TCS Booster with a command station that does not support RailCom® it is recommended to choose the "'''Disabled"''' option for the '''Persistent Settings -> Options -> RailCom Cutout''' option.

==Output Voltage Matching==
When using two or more boosters together, their track output voltages should be closely matched. A good target is less than 0.8V difference in no-load output voltage between any two boosters. A general purpose AC voltage meter is designed to accurately measure 50Hz/60Hz sinusoidal signals, like what is delivered by the power company. Though it will not provide an accurate absolute output voltage reading on a DCC booster (which produces a square wave signal), for comparative purposes, any general purpose AC voltage meter can be used to measure a booster's output voltage for differences.

#Set your multi-meter to AC voltage measurement.
#Measure across the two output rails in one booster district, note the reading.
#Measure across the two output rails in the other booster district, note the reading. (Repeat as many times as necessary)
#Compare the two noted readings. If they are closer than 0.8V from one another, then they are close enough.

==Output Phase==
Every booster has two outputs, one for each rail. If a locomotive creates a short circuit when passing between two booster districts, this is a likely indicator that the two boosters are out of phase of one another. In this case, swap the two rail outputs on one of the boosters to bring them back into phase with one another.

==Booster Common==
A booster common provides a controlled low impedance return path between boosters which helps with the transition of a locomotive between two booster districts. A booster common should use heavy gauge wire designed to carry the full current rating of the booster(s), 14AWG or larger is recommended.

===Non-Electrically Isolated Boosters===
When using boosters that are not electrically isolated, a booster common is required. Most Digitrax boosters are not electrically isolated and require a booster common.

===Electrically Isolated Boosters===
All TCS boosters provide electrical isolation, as do boosters from Lenz and NCE. Some Digitrax boosters are also electrically isolated and can be identified by the label "Opto equipped". When using boosters that have electrical isolation, a booster common is technically optional, but still highly recommended for the following benefits:

#Support for locomotives with "split frame" electrical pickup scheme. This is especially common in older steam locomotives where the locomotive would have pickups on one rail and the tender pickups on the other rail.
#Prevent voltage doubling between two boosters that are out of phase with one another.

Some electrically isolated boosters do not offer a booster common. In this case, a common rail can serve a similar purpose. This is achieved by tying together one output phase or rail of each booster. ''It is important not to mix together booster common and common rail schemes''. Only one type of common should be in use on a given installation.

===Configuration Jumpers===
Refer to the table below for information on the configuration jumpers available on the Booster Adapter:
{| class="wikitable"
!Jumper Position
!Description
|-
|DCC Polarity
|These jumpers may be rotated in order to flip the track output phase of the DCC signal between the LCC bus and the Control Bus / L.NET-B. This will result in the track output phase of Control Bus / L.NET-B boosters being flipped relative to boosters on the LCC bus. This is useful when mixing LCC boosters such as the CS-105 and B-106 if a short circuit is observed crossing between LCC and non-LCC booster boundaries as an alternative to manually flipping the track wiring at the booster track outputs.
|-
|LCC Power
|This pair of jumpers determines how power will be routed between the LCC RJ-45 jacks (Pin 8 in the LCC-CAN Standard S-9.7.1.1). The '''Pass''' setting connects pin 8 of the two LCC jacks together so that power passes between them. The '''Output''' setting disconnects pin 8 from passing between the two LCC jacks and requires and external 15VDC power supply in order to feed up to 400mA of current independently into each LCC jack.

Booster Interface

2022-10-25T18:29:02Z

TCSEngineering: /* Configuration Settings */

<noinclude>TCS command station and booster products (CS-105, B-106, etc...) use the NMRA Standard [https://www.nmra.org/sites/default/files/standards/sandrp/pdf/s-9.1.2_power_station_interface.pdf S-9.1.2 Power Station Interface] Full Scale Interface method. TCS command station and booster products are compatible with other manufacturers' products that use the same Full Scale Interface. This includes, but not limited to, command stations and boosters from:

*Digitrax
*Lenz
*NCE

TCS command station and booster products are not directly compatible with the alternative Driver/Receiver Interface method.</noinclude>

==Power Station Interface on TCS Command Stations and Boosters==
TCS products use the OpenLCB/LCC NMRA S-9.7.1.1 CAN Physical Layer, which consists of an RJ-45 connector routing the CAN signals, power, and the two ALT signals on pins 4 & 5. This diagram below shows the pin-out for the RJ-45 connector as used in S-9.7.1.1 and on the TCS CS-105 and B-106 products. TCS utilizes the ALT_L/ALT_H signals on pins 4 & 5 (labeled DCC B & DCC A) for the Full Scale Power Station Interface. These signals are used when connecting to other manufacturers' command stations and boosters.

[[File:LCC Pinout.png|500px]]

Pin 4 "DCC B" is the "Low" rail, which swings negative during the DCC signal procession. When wiring a layout, this pin will correspond to the "Left" rail (typically BLACK). On the CS-105 the DCC B pin corresponds to and follows the Mainline output pin labeled "B".

Pin 5 "DCC A" is the "High" rail, which swings positive during the DCC signal procession. When wiring a layout, this pin will correspond to the "Right" rail (typically RED). On the CS-105 the DCC A pin corresponds to and follows the Mainline output pin labeled "A".

When wiring a TCS Command Station into a TCS booster, all you need to do to pass these signals is to connect a single RJ-45 cable between the LCC ports on each device. For examples of ways that you can interface a TCS Command Station with other manufacturers' boosters, or a TCS booster with another manufacturer's command station, see the examples listed below.

==Digitrax CS to TCS Booster or TCS CS to Digitrax Booster==
[[File:Booster Interface (LCC to Digitrax).png|800px]] '''Important Requirement:''' Most Digitrax boosters are not electrically isolated (sometimes referred to as "opto-isolated"). Unless using an electrically isolated booster, a booster common must be used. The booster common terminal is typically labeled "GR" on Digitrax boosters and command stations and labeled "Common" on TCS boosters and command stations. For more information, see section [[#Booster Common]] below.

==Lenz CS to TCS Booster or TCS CS to Lenz Booster==
[[File:Booster Interface (LCC to Lenz).png|800px]]
 '''Note:''' All Lenz Boosters are electrically isolated, however a booster common is still recommended. The booster common terminal is typically labeled "⊥" on Lenz boosters and command stations and labeled "Common" on TCS boosters and command stations. Some Lenz command stations and boosters do not have a booster common terminal. For more information, see section [[#Booster Common]] below.

==NCE CS to TCS Booster or TCS CS to NCE Booster==
[[File:Booster Interface (LCC to NCE).png|800px]]
 '''Note:''' All NCE Boosters are electrically isolated, however, a booster common is still recommended. The booster common is typically found on the metal enclosure screw(s) on NCE boosters and command stations and labeled "Common" on TCS boosters and command stations. For more information, see section [[#Booster Common]] below.

<noinclude>
==Booster Interface Conversion Board==
TCS has developed a convenient conversion board to aid in mixing OpenLCB/LCC based command stations and boosters that use the NMRA standard Full Scale Power Station Interface, such as those offered by TCS, with other popular manufacturers. You can read more about this product on the [[Booster_Adapter|Booster Adapter]] page.

[[File:Booster Breakout Board.jpg|frameless]]</noinclude>

==Configuration Settings==
TCS command station and booster products are integrated with advanced RailCom® features. Most boosters on the market do not support the same advanced RailCom® feature set. As such, it is best to appropriately reconfigure certain settings as described below depending on your setup.

When using a TCS command station with a booster that does not support RailCom® feedback over the Power Station Interface, it is recommended to choose the "'''Enabled with no RailCom'''" option for the '''System Settings -> Advanced Options -> Drive LCC Boosters''' option.

When using a TCS Booster with a command station that does not support RailCom® it is recommended to choose the "'''Disabled"''' option for the '''Persistent Settings -> Options -> RailCom Cutout''' option.

==Output Voltage Matching==
When using two or more boosters together, their track output voltages should be closely matched. A good target is less than 0.8V difference in no-load output voltage between any two boosters. A general purpose AC voltage meter is designed to accurately measure 50Hz/60Hz sinusoidal signals, like what is delivered by the power company. Though it will not provide an accurate absolute output voltage reading on a DCC booster (which produces a square wave signal), for comparative purposes, any general purpose AC voltage meter can be used to measure a booster's output voltage for differences.

#Set your multi-meter to AC voltage measurement.
#Measure across the two output rails in one booster district, note the reading.
#Measure across the two output rails in the other booster district, note the reading. (Repeat as many times as necessary)
#Compare the two noted readings. If they are closer than 0.8V from one another, then they are close enough.

==Output Phase==
Every booster has two outputs, one for each rail. If a locomotive creates a short circuit when passing between two booster districts, this is a likely indicator that the two boosters are out of phase of one another. In this case, swap the two rail outputs on one of the boosters to bring them back into phase with one another.

==Booster Common==
A booster common provides a controlled low impedance return path between boosters which helps with the transition of a locomotive between two booster districts. A booster common should be of heavy AWG wire designed to carry the full current rating of the booster(s), 14AWG or larger is recommended.

===Non-Electrically Isolated Boosters===
When using boosters that are not electrically isolated, a booster common is required. Most Digitrax boosters are not electrically isolated and require a booster common.

===Electrically Isolated Boosters===
All TCS boosters provide electrical isolation, as do boosters from Lenz and NCE. Some Digitrax boosters are also electrically isolated and can be identified by the label "Opto equipped". When using boosters that have electrical isolation, a booster common is technically optional, but still highly recommended for the following benefits:

#Support for locomotives with "split frame" electrical pickup scheme. This is especially common in older steam locomotives where the locomotive would have pickups on one rail and the tender pickups on the other rail.
#Prevent voltage doubling between two boosters that are out of phase with one another.

Some electrically isolated boosters do not offer a booster common. In this case, a common rail can serve a similar purpose. This is achieved by tying together one output phase or rail of each booster. ''It is important not to mix together booster common and common rail schemes''. Only one type of common should be in use on a given installation.

===Configuration Jumpers===
Refer to the table below for information on the configuration jumpers available on the LT Panel:
{| class="wikitable"
!Jumper Position
!Description
|-
|TERM (1)
|Insert this jumper to add termination to the LCC-CAN bus. An LCC-CAN bus should have exactly two terminators, with one at each end of the bus.
This jumper can (optionally) provide for one of the required terminators.

''Note: In practicality, a very short (less than 10ft or 3m) LCC-CAN bus can still work reliably with one terminator.''
|-
|N/A (2)
|''Not Used''
|-
|DCC/F (3U+AB &U+AB 4)
|The LT Panel is designed to be use with a "Layout Throttle", such as an LT-50, plugged into the front facing port with the "LT" logo. [[File:DCC-F Simplified Diagram.png|thumb|300x300px|Simplified diagram showing the electrical connection for DCC/F jumpers.]]Insert these two jumpers to pass the low power DCC signals from the Layout Throttle through to the other three LCC jacks (pins 4 & 5 of the LCC-CAN standard). Remove these jumpers to disconnect the low power DCC signals provided by the Layout Throttle.
''Note: The Layout Throttle uses the [https://www.nmra.org/sites/default/files/standards/sandrp/pdf/s-9.1.2_power_station_interface.pdf NMRA S-9.1.2 Full Scale Interface]''

DCC/F is a low-power mirror of the track output from the command station (in this case, the [[LT-50]]).

This circuit is only intended to be used to provide the signal '''from''' the LT-50 '''to''' other devices on the LCC-CAN bus. This circuit is '''not''' intended to supply signals to LCC boosters such as the B-106. This circuit '''must be disabled/open''' if another LCC device is driving the LCC-CAN pins 4 & 5 as allowed by the standard. The '''LT''' Panel is not designed to be used along with another LCC/DCC command station, such as the CS-105. In this case, an '''LCC''' Panel should be used instead.

CS-105 Throttle and Device Capacity

2022-10-01T20:38:49Z

TCSEngineering:

The CS-105 has several interfaces for connecting throttles and other devices. There are capacity limitations to these interfaces out-of-the-box, however the CS-105 can be paired with a number of accessories in order to expand the capacity.

==Wi-Fi==

===Access Point Mode===
In this mode, the CS-105 broadcasts a WiFi SSID which supports WiFi client connection of up to four devices (throttle, PC, smart phone, etc...).

[[File:CS-105 AP Mode.png|500px]]

===Client Mode===
In this mode, the CS-105 connects to an external WiFi access point (router). It can accept connections from up to 10 other devices that are also connected to the same network.

[[File:CS-105 Client Mode.png|500px]]

===Connecting Additional WiFi Devices===
On its own, the CS-105 is limited to 4 WiFi connected devices in Access Point Mode and 10 WiFi connected devices in Client Mode. However, the number of connected WiFi devices can be expanded by the addition of an LCC hub or router. An LCC hub or router may be connected to the CS-105 operating in either AP Mode or Client Mode by WiFi or may be connect to the CS-105 through the LCC CAN bus (dual RJ-45 jack).

[[File:CS-105 with External Hub or Router.png|frameless|512x512px]]

====Configuring JMRI as an LCC Hub====
From the LCC menu, choose the Start Hub option.

[[File:JMRI Start Hub.png|frameless|529x529px]]

A window will open indicating that the hub has been started. JMRI also starts advertising itself to the network using mDNS so that other LCC devices can find it.

==LCC CAN Bus==
The CS-105 integrates an NMRA Standard LCC CAN bus through a dual RJ-45 jack (labeled on the enclosure). This bus topology must meet the following requirements:

#Maximum length of 1000ft / 300m.
#Linear in topology with branches or T's limited to 10ft / 3m.
#Branches and T's should only be used for wired throttles.
#For each connected device, the maximum length should be reduced by 20ft / 6m. This means the practical limit [electrically] is around 48 connected devices.
#Contain exactly two terminators at the two farthest ends of the bus.

These requirements ensure reliable operation in all environments. Practically speaking, the LCC CAN bus is typically resilient to minor deviations from some of these requirements. An LCC Repeater can be used to extend the LCC CAN Bus beyond these limits. TCS recommends the [https://www.rr-cirkits.com/ RR-CirKits] LCC Repeater for this purpose.

==Auxiliary Bus==

===Cab Bus Mode===
When running in Cab Bus mode (compatible with devices from NCE, Ramtraxx, SystemOne, and WifiTrax), there is a limit of 62 connected devices (throttles, etc...). For more information, see the [[Cab Bus]] documentation page.

===XpressNET Mode===
When running in XpressNet mode (compatible with devices from Lenz, Roco, ZTC, and others...), there is a limit of 31 connected devices (throttles, etc...). For more information, see the [[XpressNET]] documentation page.
