4.5. Connection of external boosters
If one booster is not sufficient to supply the layout or if the commands for vehicle and
accessory decoders are to be output separately ("driving and switching separately"), you can
connect additional external boosters.
MM: Märklin-compatible boosters
Connection: 5-pole, grid dimension 2.54 mm
CDE: DCC-compatible boosters
Connection: 3-pole, grid dimension 5.08 mm
(Connector plug included in delivery)
BiDiB: Boosters according to BiDiB
specification
Connection: RJ45
LocoNet-Boosters
Connection: RJ12
Note: The control of boosters and accessory decoders for
LocoNet as well as the forwarding of feedback signals from
LocoNet are not yet supported. (Status: 04/2021).
Simultaneous use of different booster interfaces
If you want to supply separate layouts (parts) or use separate boosters e.g. for driving and
switching, you can use all booster interfaces at the same time. However, you cannot supply
several booster sections of a layout mixed with different booster types (DCC-compliant,
Motorola-compatible, BiDiB, LocoNet).
Supply of several booster sections of a layout
Basically, if possible, identical boosters should be used to supply several booster sections of a
layout.
In combination with the integrated booster of the mc² you can use:
 Booster B-4 (item no. 40-19407 or 40-19417): Connection to the DCC-compliant booster
output ("CDE") of the mc² or
 BiDi-Booster (item no. 40-19407): Connection to the BiDiB interface of the mc². The
operating values of the BiDi booster are then reported back and can be used as a basis for
the booster management of a control software.
