Booster B-6 tams elektronik
2.6. Use with BiDiB
The Booster B-6 is in the sense of the BiDiB specification a device of the class "Booster" with
the additional specification "BiDi-(RailCom-)Detector".
2.6.1. Features
According to the BiDiB specification, data can be sent to and from the B-6 via the BiDi bus.
Setting options
On the PC, all settings for the B-6 can be made, e.g.:
 output voltage
 RailCom cutout on/off
 maximum output current
 reconnection time after a short circuit
In addition, an update can be carried out via the software.
Status messages and reporting of operating values
During operation, the B-6 sends its current operating status, including information about the
cause of the current status, as well as its current operating values to the PC via BiDiB, e.g.
 track voltage at the booster output is switched on ("GO")
 track voltage at the booster output is switched off, e.g. due to short circuit,
overtemperature, missing mains voltage ("STOP")
 actual current consumption
 actual voltage at track output
 current operating temperature
These messages can be evaluated by the PC control software and serve as a basis for booster
management.
Integrated RailCom detector
The integrated global RailCom detector sends the RailCom messages from the connected
booster circuit to the PC via BiDiB:
 vehicle addresses
 CV responses of the vehicle decoders
 dynamic information, i.e. CV contents that change during operation: e.g. real speed,
reception statistics, tank contents
