ATLplus,
the exceptional DCC system from UMELEC
The ATLplus digital block allows a universal and all the same quite simple block control on your layout. In principle it's a Domino along the track, interconnected by a few wires. As with the engine module, it was our goal to integrate all the necessary functions related to signals and security requirements. So the function list became quite impressive.
|
Fully compatible to NMRA centres, remote control via four switch addresses | |
Programmable like an engine with Direct, Page, Register and Bit mode | |
Remote control of occupation left or right resp. cancellation, with count function, for manual insert or corrections | |
Fully automatic track control with high security, PC independent | |
Integrated driver for the brake area (signal contact) | |
Works in both directions, state-event behaviour (avoids not allowed actions and reactions) | |
Minimal wiring, 1 to 2 crossover contacts for each switch | |
Block status: free (direction neutral), reserved, occupied (with direction information) | |
Axle or engine/waggon counter with Reeds resp. microswitches or current sensor | |
Automatic entering and leaving secured area (from shunting yard, e.g.) | |
Drivers for signals in both directions (bulbs or LEDs) | |
Realistic slow change from one colour to the other | |
Idle red or green programmable to follow the reality | |
Dimming function for day and night on the whole layout, remote controlled via selectable address, + for day, - for night, | |
day and night brightness programmable | |
Programmable hold time for station blocks, from 7 sec. to 27 min. since entering. | |
Remote controlled switch on and off of hold timer | |
Advanced switch to green light to shorten time at will | |
Directed call function for entrance blocks of stations, with desk switch or via controller | |
Shuttle automatism with hold time, changing direction after half of the hold time, perfect combination with engine shuttle function | |
Memorization of actual status at power off | |
Additional remote controlled function (on-off, for switches, crossing barriers) | |
Sum alarm via bus wire, bit by bit feedback for status analysis (with PC and Interface) | |
Overriding separate supply input for cheap current supply (to unload digital supply) |
