Description from the seller
VPEB All shells - TM44 - Digital control unit (1) - TM44 Dinamo system The TM44 is a module for controlling the trains on the model railroad and reporting the positions of the trains.
The TM44 is a module for controlling the trains on the model railroad and reporting the positions of the trains. The TM44 is part of the “Dinamo Plug and Play” concept, but can optionally also be used in a Dinamo Classic system up to and including firmware version 1.21. The TM44 offers: – Control of 4 blocks – Detection of trains in 4 sections per block – Control of analog trains with pulse-width modulation in 64 steps – Permanent lighting of analog trains when stationary (switchable) – Control of digital trains via DCC 28/128 steps – Adjustable short-circuit protection per block – Communication via RS485 – Each block has its own booster of 2.5A – Each block has an internal bypass function All connections on the TM44 consist of screw-terminals or “clip” terminals. This means you do not have to solder to connect the TM44. Block control The TM44 provides outputs to independently and individually control 4 blocks. The control of a block can be analog or digital. The switching between analog and digital is performed Dynamically under the control of the RM-C module, so you can actually run analog and digital equipment on your track at the same time. Train detection Each block output of the TM44 is split into 4 sections for train position reporting by current detection, so that in all cases accurate positioning of trains can be achieved. Analog trains The control of analog trains is done via pulse-width modulation. This method of control ensures good handling of your equipment, provided that it is technically reasonably in order. With PWM you can comfortably crawl at slow speed under those conditions. Of course you can drive both forward and backward. The 63 speed steps per direction ensure that equipment with varying characteristics can be controlled in such a way that natural driving behavior is always obtained. Permanent lighting (analog) The TM44 provides (if desired) permanent lighting for rolling stock. The lighting is done with an alternating current of about 18 kHz and is adjustable in 16 steps. The permanent lighting can be enabled or disabled per block (also dynamically). When driving that permanent lighting, the locomotive lights can even be made directionally dependent. For the latter, a simple auxiliary circuit in your locomotive is required. Digital trains For digital control, the TM44 provides the digital power for each block and the DCC packets for the trains. The DCC packets are generated per block separately and only for the train that is in that block. The benefit of such a solution is that this method is extremely scalable. Per block up to 10 DCC packets can be generated, sufficient for multiple locomotives (multi-unit), control stations and extensive bells and whistles. The management of the DCC information across the different blocks and TM44 controllers is handled by the RM-C. Short-circuit protection The TM44 is short-circuit protected. As soon as the current exceeds 2A, the controller disconnects the voltage (individually per block) within a few microseconds and reconnects within 10 milliseconds once the overload has cleared. Any overload is signaled to the controlling computer. Power supply The TM44 requires only a single supply of 8..24V DC. The supplied supply voltage is the voltage that will be on the rails for the trains. In general, a voltage of 15 to 18V DC is a good choice. Communication The communication between RM-C and TM44s is via a serial (network) connection based on RS485. This allows you to bridge large distances (up to 1200 meters), so you can place the TM44 modules remotely (e.g., under your track) close to the blocks that the module controls. With the network connection you have the choice of making your own connecting cable or using standard RJ45 cables.
