DTM30 Super Tower Master - $85
Brand new CML Electronics DTM30 Super Tower Master DCC board for Loconet.
The DTM30 Super Tower Master is a 30 channel point, signal & sensor controller / display unit for automation of layout control panels. Many users want to be able to control and display their points and signals using pushbuttons and LEDs, not just with a handheld throttle. This unit allows just that: this is achieved with just a LocoNet and a 9-12v AC or DC power connection, thereby eliminating individual wires to point motors, accessory decoders or detection circuits.
Some of the capabilities are illustrated in the diagram above:
A point can be displayed by two LEDs. these would sit in the two tracks coming out from the point; one would be lit to show that track was active.
A point can be operated by a pushbutton. Press the button to change its position. (Alternatively, there can be one button for "closed" and one for "thrown".
A sensor cell (e.g. from a BDL168) can be displayed as an LED which is lit when the track is occupied.
A signal can be displayed in various ways. Signals controlled by the SIGM20 and the Digitrax SE8c can both be displayed.
The track "running" direction for SIGM20 signals can be shown.
