Our primary products at this time are our breakout boards. These board eliminate having to solder connections to your Digitrax(c) PM42, BDL168 and SE8c DCC accessory boards. Future products will include Loconet(c) and OpenLCB/NMRANet compatible accessories that are built with operations in mind. The breakout board products are sold direct from Acculites and many dealers as well. Please see the how to buy page for more information.
Our current products are as follows:
The PM42 breakout board is setup to accept up to 2 inputs and 4 distinct outputs. Each output has a set of jumpers that allows you to set that particular section to reversing, assuming the correct OpSwitches have been set inside the PM42's memory. Please consult the manual on how to set this. For connection instructions, please use this link to download the instruction sheet.
The SE8c breakout board brings out all the connections available on the SE8c's edge connector. This includes the 8 slow motion switch machine drivers, the 8 pushbutton inputs and the 8 sensor connections as well.
The multiple input breakout board for the BDL168 block detection eliminates soldering connections to the card edge or card edge adapter of this product. This design has 4 inputs separate inputs, each tied to a specific detection zone; each zone has 4 individual detection sections. If you would like to detect a reversing section of track or use additional boosters all on a single BDL board, this is the product for you. For connection instructions, please use this link to download the instruction sheet.
The single input breakout board for the BDL168 block detection eliminates soldering connections to the card edge or card edge adapter of this product. This design has a single input, meaning all 4 detection zones (and all 16 sections) are connected to a single booster, command station or DCC circuit breaker. For connection instructions, please use this link to download the instruction sheet.
If you have a need for a custom breakout board that needs a different physical footprint, custom inputs, wire terminals, or you would like to have a single board that will allow you to connect a PM42 directly to the BDL168 with no additional wires, we will work with you to design a solution to resolve your quandry.
