Re: PR3 Power supply
Tom, The PR3 is a combination LocoNet to PC interface and *stand-alone* programmer. Using a 16-18VDC power supply with it does NOT "add more voltage to the layout". Steve "Breezlys"

Re: Feedback to Panel for NCE throttle commands
Thomas, The NCE command station monitors the last-commanded state of each of the 2048 possible accessory addresses and stores that in non-volatile memory. This covers throttle commands, NCE macros,

Re: Feedback to Panel for NCE throttle commands
Tom, PH Pro and PowerHouse Pro are just a slight name change that happened along the years. Key difference is it is a big black box with a serial 9 pin port and not something you use the NCE USB

Re: Feedback to Panel for NCE throttle commands
Dave, I¡¯m not sure from your note as to where Monitoring is done, JMRI or NCE. I saw this in the link you provided: MONITORING Default for LocoNet and XPressNet turnouts, this means the network is

Re: Detection in JRMI with NCE Accessories
Dave, Part of the problem is that different people use the term GND differently. In this case we mean the common return for whatever switches or detectors are being monitored by the AIU. We do NOT

Re: Detection in JRMI with NCE Accessories
Dave in PA, Yes I saw your other comment about 'where the gnd comes from'. For the AIU with respect to the Tortoise, it is the first pin of the connector with the other 7 inputs. While the gnd on both

Re: Detection in JRMI with NCE Accessories
Dave, For each Tortoise, both of those connections must be removed and replaced by a separate (otherwise unconnected) direct wire going between pin 5 and the single relevant AIU GND. Dave in Australia

Re: Detection in JRMI with NCE Accessories
Dave, The AIU GND is connected to the NCE Cab Bus ground and hence to the case of the Power Pro. No connection is to be made between the AIU GND pins and anything else except the ground returns of all

Re: Detection in JRMI with NCE Accessories
Thank Dave for the link and further advise. The GND in question has no relationship to the layout, since it¡¯s powered by a wall wart only. Maybe my designation of Assy. Bus is what may be confusing.

Re: Detection in JRMI with NCE Accessories
I think a good way to explain this is to insure the current that flows out to the contacts on the Tortoise flows back to the same spot and takes the same route. This is the best way to insure things

I'll chip in with my PowerPax history. I came before the PTB-100 was available, maybe before the PR3 too. But it came with an 18V supply. I've been using it successfully for at least 6 years now,
