Auf meiner #Modellbahn gehts endlich wieder weiter.
Mit neuem Licht und Elan hab ich letzte Nacht die #Stöpselbuchsen für das #Loconet in meinen Modulen des #Bahnhof #Agonitz eingebaut.

In den nächsten Tagen sollen noch die Kabel, Stecker und Kabelprüfer kommen, dann steht der Fertigstellung der Elektrik nix mehr im Weg.

Noch ein paar Bäume drehen und schon kanns grün werden in Agonitz.

Making a #Digitrax #LocoNet cable.

https://dccwiki.com/LocoNet/Making_a_LocoNet_Cable

It is critical that the type of RJ connectors match the type of wire it will be crimped on to. Stranded wire needs a plug meant for stranded wire.

Plus a good set of crimpers. Cheap ones often don't work well.

Have fun with your DCC #ModelRailway .

Digitrax: Making a LocoNet Cable

Constructing a LocoNet cable is easy with the proper tools, flat six wire cabling and RJ12/RJ25 modular plugs. The crimping tool will strip the proper amount of insulation from the cable. The connectors have stabs to pierce the insulation of the individual wires when the connector is crimped on, as well as a strain relief. A cable can be constructed easily in a few minutes.

Quick Guide to #NMRADCC Consisting:

Basic: Multifunction Decoders share a Primary or Extended Address.

Advanced: Consist Address created by command station and written to CV19 in each multifunction decoder in the consist.

Command Station: Consist managed by the command station. It keeps track of which locomotives are part of the consist.

MU Consisting - Multiple Unit Consists

When one or more locomotives are assigned to pull a train, they can be programmed to operate as one unit, or consist. This is also known as "M.U.'ing." The three main types of consists: ''Basic'', ''Universal'', and ''Advanced''.

Multiple Unit Consisting isn't that complicated, is it?

#LocoNet should not be arranged into a loop, as it is very important to make sure the RAIL SYNC signals are connected correctly and in sync. Otherwise they will cancel out. For this reason #Digitrax does not recommend wiring LocoNet in a loop.
