GCA127 Interface for indication with 8/16 Leds

ContentHardwareGCA


By Peter Giling

Description

Like the MGV128 switch interface, this unit is made to have a lot of Leds on a switch-board, without many cables.

Each combination of 2 Leds (i.e. red and green) is connected to one output of the GCA50.

Possible uses: * 8 turnout positions each with red and green led. * 8 auxilary function indicators.

Also combination of these two suggestions is possible.

Simply one connector runs to MGV50.

This way of signalling will prove very wire-friendly when a few of them are installes in a switch-board.

Originally set-up as a testboard for new assembled MGV50 units, it proofs to have a much more extended way of use.
