GCA116 Bascule bridge driver

Content → Hardware → GCA

• The GCA modules

Originally, this unit is dedicated to lift a bascule bridge.

It will drive a motor like Conrad 227560 and will recieve its command from LocoNetI/O GCA50.

Any normal switch, connetected to the same input will make it indepandable from any other device..

Also 2 feed-back outputs to LocoNet MGV50 are able to inform Rocrail wether the bridge is in the right position.

Two more inputs are available to connect microswitches , in order to be able to switch off motor on the right position.

Three more outputs will switch red, yellow and green led-signs to control the ship traffic.

Power supply is, due to the used motor, restricted to 12 Vdc or 9 Vac.

When inactive the unit will need approx 10 mA.

In action, the indicated motor will draw approx 50-100 mA.

The speed of the motor is set in the software.

See listing of program if any other speed is desired.
