Correct, but use such a string in each TrackOut wire. :)??

?

1N5402 is sufficient., it can handle 200 Volts. The 1N5408 800 Volts ;)?

Nope, works as designed. But....

The YD7001 can fully configure and address 1-128 inputs (8x 16-bit modules) Modules above are run in "legacy mode".

?

That means that they get numbered as if it were in the DR5000 --> "First contact in feedback space" + 128? for the 9th module upwards.

?

So if you want to use more than the recomended 8 modules you are more or less obliged to follow the legacy numbering scheme.

?

That is:?

"First contact in feedback space" set to 0 and answer Yes to the automatic renumber question.

i dont?understand what you mean about out of spec when you said it was 5 mtr cable length?from the yd7001


Our spec is a guaranteed maximum of 3 meters, as is the original M?rklin spec for the s88 Bus. Provided that all YD6016ES modules are contiguous connected from the command station on. "non ES-Link modules (i.e. DR4088) should be connected AFTER the last ES-Link Module. This is required, since DR4088 do not carry the ES-Link signals "upstream" to the later modules on the string.

?

I mentioned 5 meters, because some people her and in other fora reported 5 or more meters also working. But it's in the range of "getting luky when it works".?

Re: yd6016es problem

 

';on the s88 bus module on the yd7001 the numbering of the sensors are correct in sequence up until 128 it says 8:16 then 129 shows 128 9:1 then they are all 1 out right up the scale
can you help please
Re: VOLTAGE FOR MARKLIN Z

Good evening.
I have found in a Marklin Z forum in Spain what Mr. Karst indicates about using diodes in antiparallel. Now my question, what diode do you recommend? If the 1N5402 or 1N5408.

M?rklin Mobile Station 2 en escala Z - P¨¢gina 2 Antiparal

In my case it is to go from 15v to 10v which will be 7 times what is in the image.

Re: yd6016es problem

 

can you explain this one look at the pics attached with the mouse over number 129 its shows 128 and 137 shows 136 and from then up over they are all 1 out

What if you swap Module 2 ( 4088-CS ) with Module 11 ( 6016ES-CS ) ?

Although 4.9 is out of spec by 1.9 Meters for the YD6016ES's, people report this working ok.?

?

Otherwise only a YD6016LN-CS on pos. 10 and after that your next ES is compliant option.

The UP6Z wont help in this situation because the reduction in voltage needs to be after the YD6016xx and it needs at least 14v to operate.

?

You would end up needing a UP6Z on every output from the YD6016xx ?

Mario,

Digitrax offers the UP6Z 3 Amp Z Scale Voltage Reducer - "Reduces track voltage by 4 or 6 volts at 3 amps for safer Z Scale locomotive operation . . ."? This device meets your needs.

Re: yd6016es problem

Cable length in total is 4.9 mtrs
module 1 is a yd6016es module 2 is a dr4088 module 3 to 11 is yd6016es

looks like when plugin number 11 it knocks out 10 and 11

I have tried modules 10 and 11 separately and they work ok
thanks Alan
Re: VOLTAGE FOR MARKLIN Z

 

pe,

It needs a minimum of 14VDC to operate correctly:

You can lower the output by inserting a couple of anti parallel Diodes between Track Out and your layout
Re: yd6016es problem

 

a) What is the total s88 cable length ? ( from Command Station until the last module )

b) What modules are #1 thru #9 ?
VOLTAGE FOR MARKLIN Z

Mario
 

Good afternoon.
Could you put the transformer that has the Marklin Z controls that I think are 10 volts or 12 volts and use it directly with the Yamorc yd7001-e?
If it were possible, how would you lower the output voltage to the track?
Thank you very much for your help.

yd6016es problem

 

Hello all
well considering when i turned off last night everything was running just fine.
all my yd6016es are coupled together with patch cables back to the yd7001 ext in (NO e-Link connection)
turned on this morning and my problem started with a yd6016es not working
this is module numbers 10 and 11.

I have changed the patch cables and it is not that

if I unplug module 11 then 10 works if I replug in 11 the green light goes off on 10 and 11 green light comes on but not showing occupies (sensor 174/175)?
see pic
has any one got any ideas please as this has been working great up until I turned on today

Karst

I have 4 @ DR5003 boosters and a YD7001 command station


¡°All this was for us the reason to (let) produce our own PSU's to our own specs. A decent alternative to those are the GSM60A15-P1J ( = medical use ) PSU series.¡±

I would assume, as I use 18v on my digikeijs variable power supplies it is a wise and decent investment then to use meanwell?GSM60A18-P1J in the UK?

I do respect your specific recommendations and advice at all times Karst?

Thank you John

Re: Programming Digitrax decoders

 

It the usual Digitrax documentation, they just copied a paragraph from ordinary decoders onto the TF4 manual. If you search hard enough you will discover that a TF4 can't be read.? Got the tee shirt, seen the film etc, they are a pain to use.

What is the error message you receive ??
Re: yd6016es

 

You can Link 16 in total:

Of which only 8 can be configured individually. But as you already have 12, that does not seem to be a problem ;)?

P.S. Note: The total RJ45 cable-length should not exceed 5 Meters !!
