Through a little experimentation, I've found that Digitrax systems
will operate switches numbered greater than 999. However since the
throttle, which appears to be the limiting factor here, will only
address 999 switch addresses, a software solution is required. My
test was performed using RR&Co software on a PC connected to the
Loconet via a LocoBuffer interface, a DB150 and an AD4 programmed to
utilize switch addresses 2037, 2038, 2039 and 2040. Using this
hardware software combination, the above mentioned switch addresses
were operated without problem.
It would be interesting to know if there's a limitation in the JMRI library. I don't think so, but you never know...
To try it, start the JMRIdemo app, and pull down "Turnout Control" from the "Tools" menu, and then enter an output (turnout) number in the little panel you get. I think it should work up to 2047.
