LocoNet® is comparable with ethernet and opens the possibility of accessing the network with more than one computer using multiple LocoBuffers. For example one for controlling the layout running Rocrail, and the other one for maintenance and monitoring.
The Rocrail support is based on the Loconet Personal Edition:
<digint iid="loconet_1" lib="loconet" device="/dev/ttyS0" bps="19200" sublib="default"> <loconet cmdstn="db150" purgetime="200"> <options opsw="0000010000000010010000000100000001100000000000000000000000000000" store="true"/> </loconet> </digint>
The options node is added automatically by the loconet library after reading the config slot of the command station. These options are shown in a human readable form using the LocoNet properties dialog were you can change them and store them back to the command station.
Uhlenbrock LocoNet 63350 modules are NOT useable in a Digitrax environment because of the lack of an optical isolation a current will flow from the layout over the LocoNet back to the Command Station!
(Uhlenbrock is Digitrax Certified…)
Those problems are directly caused by the different booster circuits.
The Uhlenbrock old LocoNet cables are NOT conform the LocoNet specs. The same wire should be on both sides at the same pin!
However Uhlenborocks did change the new cables and are now conform LocoNet.
Mixing GCA and Digitrax stationary decoders need special attention in wiring:
