Re: NCE EB1 Circuit Breaker - is anyone using these with a YD7001 and DR5033 boosters ?
I use a couple of NCE EB1 with my Z21 in the accessory bus and only
changed the current trip to 2.5A to ensure the EB1 trips before the Z21 or
the booster. I wonder if you have reduced the current

Re: NCE EB1 Circuit Breaker - is anyone using these with a YD7001 and DR5033 boosters ?
Jay,
I have not used this combination before, but I have a couple of thoughts. What have you set the trip time on the NCE EB1 circuit breaker? I think the minimum setting is ~10ms. Can you try the

NCE EB1 Circuit Breaker - is anyone using these with a YD7001 and DR5033 boosters ?
Hi
My club, York Railway Modellers, purchased several NCE EB1 circuit breakers and we cannot get them working with our YD7001s and the DR5033 boosters without increasing the circuit breaker trip time

Re: Resistor for block detection, best size?
You will see that the block detection (i.e. when current is drawn) appears slightly before the Railcom ID is displayed. This is because it is faster being almost the instant a loco enter the block.

Re: Resistor for block detection, best size?
So let me ask a dumb question, as I’ve only set up sample blocks with DR5088RC and have seen the RC ids show up in my blocks but don’t actually detect any current.
The question:
Why do I care

Re: Programmer Busy reading CVs with Ops mode over Railcom with YD9401
I tried 2, 3 and 4. With 4 I get some (fewer) Programmer busy messages. With 2 and 3, I don't get Programmer busy, but I do see pauses., fewer with 2 than 3. It seems that 3 is the best setting for

Thanks for the thread, it appears there was no resolution to the issue. I figured quickly that after acquiring the locomotive I was able to use the 602D wirelessly for control. Seems like a conflict

Re: Can the YD7001 be used for setting CVs on accessories ?
Nope, that is not unclear ;) As of LocoNet specs, RailSync ( which drives the boosters ) must be a carbon-copy of what the commandstation sends to the track. And so it is done by our command stations,

Lower this setting: (POM packet repeat count)

Re: Programmer Busy reading CVs with Ops mode over Railcom with YD9401
Scott,
There are many factors that can impact the speed of reading when using PoM, amongst them being how busy the track is i.e. how many other locos are present, with special consideration as to

Just select the Loco PoM or Accessory PoM radio button on the YD7001 programming interface, enter the address for the device, the CV number and then the value.
You will need to try both

Re: Resistor for block detection, best size?
The resistor axles have no impact upon Railcom and simply provide occupancy
for the wagon.
FYI Railcom has nothing to do with occupancy, it is simply reporting the
details from the decoder. The
