Radio control interface 2.4GHz (DCC and PC)

The interface controls the Krois radio decoders installed in the vehicles and also monitor tthe decoder status. Commands can be accepted from (up to two) DCC digital central and also from a PC via USB. Communication is bidirectional between car decoders and interface, as well as between interface and PC, so data information can be transmited to the vehicles and can also be read out from them. By processing this information with a PC, a whole new range of possibilities opens up in the vehicle and drain control system.

Functions:

Communication with vehicle decoders

The radio center converts the DCC commands from the "tracks" into radio data packets and sends them to the decoders, depending on the address. Alternatively, it's also possible to transmit commands directly to from the interface with out any DCC central via the USB interface using a PC.

Monitoring the vehicle functions

At regular intervals, the status of each vehicle is interrogated and evaluated by the radio control center. Depending on the events occurring (for example, critical battery status), the corresponding actions can be set from the control center or a control program on the PC.

Performing software updates

If the central unit is connected to a PC (via the USB interface), the software on the control center itself, as well as on the vehicle decoders, can be updated at any time by the user via the (free) configuration software.

Vehicle programming

CV programs can be directly modified from the radio control center and transmitted to the decoders. In addition, it's also possible to make all settings conveniently via the configuration software and transfer it to a selected vehicle with one click.

Confirmation of vehicle positions

The vehicles can return their own position to the control center by radio (appropriate position modules presupposed); occupancy detectors in the form of reed contacts can thus be omitted.

Displays the operating state

A (simplified) information on the operating status can be read directly via the 24 LEDs on the control center itself. This makes a basic function check or error detection possible at any time without any additional software.

Control of expansion modules

With a total of four RJ45 expansion connectors, you can simply retrofit any desired function in the future. An expensive purchase of the hardware is not necessary, only the corresponding module has to be connected to the radio control center and a (possibly outgoing) free software update can be downloaded from the PC.

Standalone operation

Due to the performance of the built-in processors, it is not absolutely necessary to have the radio control center connected to a PC at all times - basic procedures and the control of the vehicles via DCC can be coordinated by the hardware at the sole operation

Manual

Driver

Software

System Requirements:
Operating system: Windows 7/8/8.1/10
Processor: Intel Core i3 or higher recommended
Memory: At least 2GB
Storage requirements: 200MB

Installation instructions:
Install first the USB driver and then the configuration software. Extract the "zip" archive before installation and run it before connecting the central unit to the PC for the first time. Depending on the system, run the appropriate installer: file extension "_x86" for 32-bit systems or "_x64" for 64-bit systems (recommended). Connect the radio central and start the program (at the very first start an active internet connection must be available). Before using a new decoder for the first time, it should first be configured via the PC program.
