Märklin Digital was among the earlier digital model railway control systems. It was a comprehensive system including locomotive decoders (based on a Motorola chip), central control (Märklin 6020/6021), a computer interface (Märklin 6050), turnout decoders (Märklin 6083), digital relays (Märklin 6084) and feedback modules (Märklin s88/6088).
This system requires no additional wiring as the control is directly "narrowcast" to the locomotive in the same way as a television remote control or garage door opener functions. In 2017, Lionel released a universal remote for LionChief+ that will learn addresses for up to three locos at a time, simplifying the operation of multiple trains.
Digital model railway control systems are an alternative to control a layout and simplify the wiring and add more flexibility in operations. A number of control systems are available to operate locomotives on model railways. Analog systems where the speed and the direction of a train is controlled by adjusting the voltage on the track are still ...
The DCC protocol is defined by the Digital Command Control Working group of the US National Model Railroad Association (NMRA). The NMRA has trademarked the term DCC [citation needed], so while the term Digital Command Control is sometimes used to describe any digital model railway control system, strictly speaking it refers to NMRA DCC.
The Advanced Train Management System is a train control system under development by Lockheed Martin for Australian Rail Track Corporation . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The ATMS uses Global Positioning System to locate and track the position of trains within the ARTC network. [ 3 ]
an architecture with defined train directions related to different train views; a common functional addressing concept; common communication protocol for data exchange between functions; a set of services for train communication control. The contents of the corrigendum of December 2015 and October 2016 have been included in this copy.
Juridical Recording (orange) Blackbox as part of an ETCS equipment Indusi I60 ER24 control device with the DSK recorder inside. A train event recorder – also called On-Train Monitoring Recorder (OTMR), On-Train Data Recorder (OTDR), Event Recorder System (ERS), Event Recorder Unit (ERU), or Juridical Recording Unit (JRU) – is a device that records data about the operation of train controls ...
Two ICE 2 trains operating in multiple-unit train control in Bielefeld, Germany. Multiple-unit train control, sometimes abbreviated to multiple-unit or MU, is a method of simultaneously controlling all the traction equipment in a train from a single location—whether it is a multiple unit comprising a number of self-powered passenger cars or a set of locomotives—with only a control signal ...
