Booster Interface

TCS command station and booster products (CS-105, B-106, etc...) use the NMRA Standard 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.

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 two ALT signals on pins 4 & 5:

TCS utilizes the ALT_L/ALT_H signals on pins 4 & 5 for the Full Scale Power Station Interface. These signals are used when connecting to other manufacturers' command stations and boosters.
