X2011 NMRA Clinics on using Aspect Signaling. (14,July '11)
BOD-1 (Block Occupancy Detector, 1 channel) The BOD-1 DC/DCC occupancy detector is a modern re-spin of our original BOD-h detector from 15 years ago. This
new version still works with both analog DC and DCC layouts. This
version has dual opto isolator outputs which allow it to drive
virtually any signal logic designs, and of course it may be used as an
input to our TC-64 and LNCP LocoNet interfaces. The new BOD-1 uses 3A
Schottky diodes for minimal voltage drop across this unit.
One BOD-1 output is active when the block is occupied and the other is active when the block is clear to give even more versitility to the design. Like all of our detectors the BOD-1 has internal filtering to give it a fast pick up, but a 3-5 second drop out similar to the prototype relays.
This 1" x 2" board normally uses a few ma. from the DCC track
to power itself. For DC use it requires using a separate power source.
LNCP (LocoNet Control
Point) This single
board
includes all the inputs and outputs necessary to signal a complete
passing siding. The LNCP communicates over the LocoNet compatible serial
port with other LNCP units and operates with layout control software
such as JMRI and RR&Co. via the LocoBuffer-USB.
