HI,
I have recently upgraded my DR5000 to a YD7001.? Its working great, I was getting intermittent disconnects with iTrain but these have now gone.?
My iTrain/YD7001 interface uses a LAN connection, no problems., however I cannot? I cannot establish a connection over my network from the YD7001 Configurator App to the YD7001. I get an error message saying that it cannot establish a connection, when I look in the log there is a entry saying that it could not establish a connection within 1 second.
I change the control back to USB and all is well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Alan

Re: DR4102 Relay Alternatives
Does the DR4024 servo decoder also have the diodes inside please as that’s what I am using the relays on.
Thanks Alec

Re: Digikeijs to Yamorc conversion......
Pete,
Do you already have any DR4024s? YaMoRC is not a closed ecosystem, it supports NMRA DCC and Digitrax's?proprietary?(but licensed to several companies) LocoNet, so there's a lot of different equipment that's compatible with it one way or another.
A QuadLN_S is a good option for servos, if you want DCC, TAM Valley has some options. Probably best to steer away from the Digitrax DS78V, but that is technically a compatible option. ESU has a SwitchPilot Servo that's meant to go with their ECoS system, but it is NMRA DCC compliant.

Hi Guys,
I'm running my home layout on Itrain with Digikeijs equipment, apart from the DR5000 which has a YD9401 upgrade. I have been asked to plan a new layout for our club. We would like to use one manufacturers equipment throughout. I have managed to find the Yamorc equivalents for DR4088 = YD6016, DR4018 = YD8116, DR5000 = YD7010. But, I cannot find the equivalent for the DR4024 servo controller. I could use a YD8116 with relays or opto couplers on the output to feed an Arduino that drives the servos and the frog switching. But that seems to be the long way round when there used to be a really nice solution with the DR4024.
So, my main question is this, is there another module that will drive servos or do I go to my Arduino?
My follow up question is that while some Yamorc dealers are out there, there does not seem to be much in stock. And looking on the Yamorc web site many items are price TBD, delayed, na, cancelled, etc. So if we (the club) decide to go ahead and fit Yamorc equipment, where do I get it from? And bearing in mind I am in New Zealand, the answer could be anywhere in the world.
Regards
Pete S.

Re: DR4102 Relay Alternatives
I use those relay modules you can buy online. They are a neat package with an opto for the trigger input(s) and diode(s) for the relay as well as an LED indicator.

The YD8xxx have these diodes inside. :) And... on the DR4102 the were never needed as well. Since the DR4018 also had those diodes inside....

Re: DR4102 Relay Alternatives
Hi,
Up to now, I have been using the RL1 Twin Channel Relay Controller for DC/DCC made by Train Tech, the SPDT relays can be individually addressed.? Using these avoids issues that may be encountered from connecting general purpose relays to switch decoders such as overvoltage. Unfortunately, they seem to be out of stock at all vendors.? I believe that there are similar products available but I have no experience in using them, I may have more to say on the other products if the RL1 continues to be out of stock.

Re: DR4102 Relay Alternatives
Check your outputs from DR4018/YD8116 as they may be more than 12v depending on your power supply. If it is a lit higher get the 24v versions
Thankyou, will order some in.?

Re: TT-DEC feedback with YD6016LN
Thanks Karst,
The only difference between my set up and the diagram is that I do not have the extra Bridge occupancy detectors (Shown with an X on the diagram). The detector from the DSU works as my occupancy detector (green circle).
I shall double check that all my wiring works as it should!

Re: DR4102 Relay Alternatives
Always used relays like this
Hi
I have traditionally used DR4102 relay boards connected to DR4018 or YD8116 switch decoders to control frogs or isolate track sections.?
As the DR4102 boards are now rarely available can anyone suggest a suitable alternative relay board please?
Many thanks

Re: TT-DEC feedback with YD6016LN
I checked the original schematic.

Here you go :)

Re: TT-DEC feedback with YD6016LN

Where does that brown wire go ??
To let the YD6016LN-CS to work, it needs to go to the left "C".
But.... if both red and brown go to the bridge, you can not use inputs 2-8 for anything else.

YD7001 handles all the ex-Digikeijs DR5000 REV-A through REV-D
YD7001-E are commandstations directly made by us. ( so no ex-Digikeijs ) and have been modified to a.o. include hardware for measuring input and track-voltages. From the outside the can be identified as having real bright green LEDs instead of the yellowish, dim LEDs on the ex-Digikeijs samples.
?
So... everybody who upgrades with the YD9401, needs to install the YD7001? (without -E)

Re: TT-DEC feedback with YD6016LN
 some of the image may appear black - this is just where I've edited the original image and added the YD6016 image
|
I have just updated to the YD7001 and noticed that there was also a YD7001-E. Did I pick the correct one and I wondered what the difference is?
Thanks

Re: TT-DEC feedback with YD6016LN
Please post a picture how you connected the TT-DEC to the YD6016LN.
Best is a picture of/with both modules.
