Sample Connections: TWIN-CENTER from Fleischmann L
Littfinski DatenTechnik (LDT) Kleiner Ring 9 • D-25492 Heist/Germany • Phone: 0049 4122 / 977 381 • Fax: 0049 4122 / 977 382 Sample Connections: TWIN-CENTER from Fleischmann The TWIN-CENTER transmits the Fleischmann owned FMZ-Format as well as the standardized DCC-Format to the Lok- or accessory-decoder. This enables the control-unit to respond to LDTDecoders for the DCC-format. The TWIN-CENTER provides the s88-feedback bus for feedback of events from the tracks. The LDT-Feedback Modules RM-DEC-88 and RM-DEC-88-Opto (both for quick-action switches) and RM-GB-8 (for track occupancy reports) can communicate with the TWINCENTER without any problems. On the next pages you will find some recommendations and sample connections of the TWINCENTER connected to LDT components. 1. Supply tracks with digital current: The rail connectors within a layout provide a considerable high transition resistance for the digital current. At a distance of 4 meters from the feeding connection the digital current can be eventually reduced to such a low value that the Lokdecoder receives no useable information anymore. schwarz black violett violet violett/weiß violet/white Vom Modellbahntrafo From transformer gelb yellow FLEISCHMANN TWIN-CENTER Via a separate main ring with several supply connections the digital-current supply to the rails will be optimized.

The wires should have 1mm² at a minimum. About every 2 meters one supply connection to the rail should be provided. 2. Using the LDT Accessory Decoder: LDT offers various accessory decoder for the DCC-Data format. Those are suitable for the use on TWIN-CENTER of Fleischmann. Under the expression S-DEC-4-DC we offer a Turnout-Decoder for the switching of single- and twin-coil magnetic accessories such as turnouts, signals or un-coupling tracks. You can purchase by us the Switch-Decoder (SA-DEC-4-DC) for digital switching illuminations on and off or switching track sections current-free e.g. at a hidden siding or in front of “red” signals.

If you intend a digital and exemplary switching of light signals on your layout you can use our Light Signal-Decoder LS-DEC. Further detailed information to the different decoder and their operation within the layout can be found on our LDT Web-Site (www.ldt-infocenter.com) at the section “Downloads”. There are all Operation-Instructions and further information such as Sample-Connections available. On the connection plan (last page) we extended the layout by a Turnout-Decoder S-DEC-4-DC which can digital switch both turnouts. To assure that the current required for switching the turnouts will not charge the digital current circuit, the decoder S-DEC-4-DC will get the supply from an external AC-output of a transformer (as the TWIN-CENTER as well). This saves expensive digital current. All our decoder offer this convenient possibility. As shown at the connection plan, the digital voltage required for the decoder will be directly supplied from the TWIN-CENTER. For this purpose you should assemble a second main ring supply below your layout for the supply of all accessory decoder with digital information from the TWIN-CENTER. As the digital information at the rails can be considerable disturbed by travelling vehicles the use of this information by a direct connection to the rail should be avoided. 2.1 Recommendation for operating LDT-Decoder on TWIN-CENTER: 2.1.1. Registration of DCC Decoder on TWIN-CENTER As per factory adjustment the TWIN-CENTER transmit FMZ-data to the decoder. To operate the LDT-Decoder the respective addresses have to be changed to DCC. This operation is described within the TWIN-CENTER operating manual at paragraph 8.1 turnout/signals registered at the TWIN-CENTER on page 39. Four statements have to be adjusted for each address: 1. The so-called Virtual Address (from 1 to 2048). This complies e.g. to the number of a turnout. 2. The Decoder Address or the decoder number. There are values of 1 up to 512 adjustable. 3. At the decoder output values between 1 to 4 can be adjusted (as all LDT-Decoder contain four outputs). 4. The Data Format. It has to be set to D for DCC, if the LDT-Decoder shall take over the switch events.

Please load the file twin-center_adressierungstabelle1.zip to your PC. 2.1.2. Programming the decoder address During the operation at the TWIN-CENTER it can happen that after actuating the programming key the decoder will switch the turnout at output 1 immediately into a fast sequence such as it would confirm the programming of an address. In this case the address repetition storage of the TWIN-CENTER contains by error data on which the decoder is already reacting. Proceed now as follows: 1. Program the decoder immediately after switching-on the digital central unit, before any loc is travelling. 2. Proceed with a RESET of the digital central unit. All stored data will be preserved, only the address repetition storage will be deleted. On the TWIN-CENTER you have to activate at switched-on status the keys GO and STOP together until “reset” will be shown at the display. 2.1.3. Adjusting the switching times The TWIN-CENTER output is not a clear DCC-data format but a mixture of FMZ and DCC format. LDT-Decoder are optimal tuned to this data format. But will the decoder not switch always reliable it is possible to adapt the TWIN-CENTER to the requirement. At the paragraph 8.5 Adjustment of switching time (page 42 of the TWIN-CENTER Operating Manual) this procedure is explained in detail. The factory adjustment has been set for the minimal and maximal switching time of 50ms. To solve the above described problem please extend the switching time up to 250ms.

Operation of LDT Feedback Modules on the s88-feedback bus: The TWIN-CENTER is equipped with a s88-feedback bus and enables therefore the possibility to operate the LDT-Feedback Modules with this system At the s88-feedback bus all feedback modules are connected behind each other and build therefore a feedback line. Different feedback modules (even from different manufacturer) can be combined within the feedback line. The first feedback module shall be connected directly to the TWIN-CENTER (LDT-Feedback Modules are equipped with an original plug for the TWIN-CENTER), all further modules shall follow and build together a feedback line. 2.8 2.9 2.10 2.11 1 8 IN1 2.7 2 7 2.6 2.12 2.13 2.14 2.15 2.16 6 5 IN2 4 3 2 1 IN1 Littfinski DatenTechnik RM-GB-8 ST2 6 5 4 3 2 1 märklin digital IN IN Rev. 2.1 pink grey yellow green brown white pink grey yellow green brown white rosa grau gelb gruen braun weiss ST2 ST1 weiss braun gruen gelb grau rosa ST1 OUT 7 RM-GB-8 ST2 Rev. 2.1 8fach Rueckmeldemodul mit Gleisbesetztmeldern Octal feedback modul with occupancy detectors decoder s 88 rosa grau gelb gruen braun weiss Littfinski DatenTechnik D-25482 Appen www.ldt-infocenter.com OUT 8 IN 16 galvanisch getrennte Rückmeldeeingänge für den s88-Rückmeldebus.

At the sample connection is at first the Feedback Module RM-DEC-88-Opto with 16 inputs for quick action switches (reed contacts etc.) directly connected to the TWIN-CENTER as the first module. It follows by two RM-GB-8 with 8 track occupancy detectors each and a s88-standard module from Märklin.

Those can be loaded to your PC from our Web-Site (www.ldt-infocenter.com) at the area “Downloads” or red and printed with the Acrobat Reader. If you require a transmittance of track occupancy reports from a 2-conductor rail system to the TWIN-CENTER (and eventually further report to the model railway software at the PC), our Feedback Module with integrated track occupancy detector RM-GB-8 will be an excellent solution. The monitored track sections get the digital current supply via the feedback module. Has been a current consumer located at the monitored track section this will be reported to he TWINCENTER via the s88-feedback bus. 3 2 1 IN1 Littfinski DatenTechnik violett/weiß violet/white 4 violett violet IN2 schwarz black 5 Ç 6 Ç 7 Ç Vom Modellbahntrafo From transformer RM-GB-8 RM-GB-8 Rev. 2.1 pink grey yellow green brown white ST2 8 Ç rosa grau gelb gruen braun weiss gelb yellow ST1 8fach Rueckmeldemodul mit Gleisbesetztmeldern Octal feedback modul with occupancy detectors FLEISCHMANN TWIN-CENTER S88- Rückmeldebus S88- feedback bus Track occupancy reports transmitted with very low wiring effort by the LDT-Feedback Module RM-GB-8 via the s88-feedback bus to the TWIN-CENTER. .
