The circuit breaker topic went?in an unexpected direction, but I thought I needed some confirmation about another essential requirement - detection. Hence the new topic.
Adding in Railcom to a layout design does require at least 1 feedback module for each booster.
In general the YD6016LN-RC looks like it will fit my requirements for a Loconet based detector that is both a 3mA current sensor and a Railcom reporter.
If I read it correctly it has 16 inputs that would be tied to one booster. That's a lot of inputs that can go to waste. I would rarely use more than 8 of them and often less.
For example in comparing it to the Digitrax BDL-168, it has 16 inputs that can be grouped into groups of 4 inputs that can each feed different boosters or circuit breakers if needed. Quite flexible.
Also what is the YaMoRC solution for reversing loops?
