3.5. Boosters
Integrated booster
A booster is integrated in the mc², which can provide a maximum of 6.5 A current. This
current is usually sufficient for the operation of layouts of all nominal sizes. Depending on the
nominal size, the maximum output current must be limited.
Short-circuit sensitivity: 1 - 6.5 A. It can be adapted to the nominal size of the installation in
steps of 0.5 A.
Track voltage: 8 - 22 V. It can be adjusted in steps of 1 V.
Track signal: symmetrical
RailCom cutout: can be switched off.
The status messages of the integrated booster are reported to the control software via BiDiB.
They are then available as a basis for booster management.
External boosters
If one booster circuit is not sufficient for the operation of the layout, or if the signals for
vehicle and accessory decoders are to be output separately, additional external boosters can
be connected. Both Märklin-compatible boosters and DCC-compliant boosters can be used.
Boosters conforming to the BiDiB specification or boosters for use in LocoNet can be
connected directly to the corresponding interfaces. The use of different booster types for
separate parts of the layout or separately for the tasks "driving" and "switching" is basically
possible.
Output of the driving and switching commands
For the track output of the integrated booster and the interfaces for Märklin-compatible and
DCC-compliant boosters it is set separately whether
driving and switching commands or
only driving commands
are to be output. The setting for the integrated booster also applies to boosters on the BiDiB
and LocoNet interfaces.
