Accessory Decoders
|
|
Any accessory on your layout can
be controlled digitally. Digital control provides an
incredibly reliable and easy way to remotely operate
turnouts, signals, lights, motors, etc. with a minimum
of wiring. Digital accessory control is also the basis
for more advanced layout processes such as route
programming and automation.
Most accessories fall into one of
two categories, based on how they are operated:
momentary or continuous. Items such as
turnouts and signals contain solenoids or relays that are
activated by supplying a brief, or momentary,
connection of their inputs to the power return of your
layout. Digital control of these type of accessories
requires a decoder with "Pulse" outputs such as the MZE
Decoder Z83/84 or Viessmann 5211 or 5231. Accessories
that are switched on or off for some length of time are
considered continuous accessories and would
include lighting, motors, and track circuits. Decoders
containing "Switch" outputs must be used to digitally
control continuous accessories, and are present
on the MZE Decoder Z83/84 and Viessmann 5213. The
specific details of each decoder are listed in the
product summaries below. For more information on digital
decoders and how to use them, please also see our
"How-To" articles. |

Decoder Z83/84 |
|
MZE's own universal accessory decoder
for Märklin Digital and Systems. This decoder can be used to control
virtually any accessory on your layout including turnouts,
signals, lighting, track circuits, etc. The decoder has four
accessory channels, each with momentary Pulse and
continuous Switch outputs. The decoder outputs may be used in
any mode or order necessary to fit your specific application,
preventing the need for multiple decoder types. Connections are

Feedback
Decoders
|
|
Digital
feedback modules quickly become a necessity on larger
layouts to simplify
control and insure train safety. As trains travel
around the layout, feedback modules monitor their
locations through track sensors. The feedback information
is reported back to the control system, which responds by issuing commands to control trains and
accessories.
There are two different types of feedback modules that
may be used, depending on the interfaces available in
the control system. The MZE Decoder Z88 utilizes the
Märklin s88
data format and is suitable for use only with Märklin
Digital compatible devices. The Uhlenbrock 63350
communicates over the LocoNet device network common to many
DCC equipment manufacturers. However, both modules may
also be used with the Uhlenbrock Intellibox. Please see the product descriptions
and online manuals below
for more information. To learn more about digital
feedback modules and how to apply them, please also see our
online
"How-To" articles. |

Decoder Z88
|
|
The Decoder Z88 is MZE's feedback
module for use with Märklin Digital s88-compatible interfaces.
The decoder supplies layout feedback for automated functions
through an interface unit such as the Uhlenbrock Intellibox or
Märklin Interface, Memory or Central Control-I. The Z88 has 16
detection inputs, which may be activated by circuit tracks,
contact tracks, or other connection to digital power ground.
Several decoders may be connected to a single interface unit to
create a large feedback network. A special data cable (1m
length) is
supplied with each decoder. Made in the USA by Modell-Zug
Elektronix.

The 63350 feedback module is
designed for use with other LocoNet devices, including the
Intellibox and IB-Switch. The 63350 has 16 detection inputs with
many user-definable characteristics accessible through the
LocoNet Program feature of the Intellibox. Each input may be
freely assigned with a unique address, as well as individual timing delay
for status changes. The
detection inputs are activated by circuit tracks, contact
tracks, or other connection to digital power ground. Several
decoders may be connected over LocoNet to form a large feedback
network. A 2m LocoNet cable is supplied with each
decoder. Made in Germany by Uhlenbrock.
