8170010 DiMAX FB Feedback Module

Description

The DiMAX FB Feedback Module is used to detect events on the model railway layout, e.g. the message of a train on a certain track or the feedback of a switched turnout. The module monitors 16 contact inputs (compared to 8 previously with 8170001). When a switching change occurs on an input, a command is sent to the control center on the DiMAX FB Feedback bus. This can cause different actions depending on the programming of the module. Either a turnout is switched directly, an automatic function is started in the DiMAX control center or the feedback is forwarded to a PC.

Alternatively, the contact inputs can also be used to connect an LED. Thus, the feedback module can also be used as a kind of display module, e.g. for building a track diagram with occupancy indication.

For future extensions the new DiMAX FB feedback module is of course updateable and still offers a radio interface (future use).
