Switching electrically isolated with the Relay board for the Servo-1 module

09.10.2014 up
PCB of relay of Servo-1 ModulePCB of relay of Servo-1 Module

The Relay board is an extension for the Servo-1 module to steer e.g. a frog polarisation via a relay.

It can also be used in combination with an accessory decoder to realise an electrical isolation e.g. for the steering of lighting.

Stärz Decoder Programmer Version 2.1.4

30.09.2014 up

The Programmer was updated for the ROCO-Adapter for the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC.

The new version of the Stärz Decoder Programmer is available free for download.

Easy steering of ROCO turning platforms

29.08.2014 up
The ROCO-Adapter DSM-PIC-R is an adapter module for connecting turning platforms of the brand ROCO to the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC. It is a pure accessory module and can only be used together with the Turning Platform Module DSM-PICThe ROCO-Adapter DSM-PIC-R is an adapter module for connecting turning platforms of the brand ROCO to the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC. It is a pure accessory module and can only be used together with the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC

The ROCO-Adapter for the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC is an adapter module for connecting turning platforms of the brand ROCO to the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC.

In combination with the Turning Platform Controller DSM-PIC-H Z it is then possible to steer the turning platform via pre-selection of the position. Alternatively the steering can be done via the SX-Bus.

Many parameters allow a personal ajustment of the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC.

Still, not every detail is translated completely, but we'll continue working on this over time.

In the event that you find any translation issues, please do not hesitate to inform us about them.

Clean soldering with the proper soldering station

11.05.2014 up

To solder our module kits we finally can link to a product distributed by us: The Soldering station 937.

It is a digital soldering station with external soldering iron holder, an LC-display and can be adjusted to soldering temperatures between 150°C and 450°C. A sponge as well as a soldering tip are included.

In addition to it, we can recommend the Soldering station 8906N.

It is also a digital soldering station with LC-display, but has the soldering iron holder integrated. Despite it offeres a larger range of soldering temperature: It can be adjusted between 160°C and 550°C. A sponge as well as a soldering tip are included.

Tiny module for tiny servos

29.11.2013 up
The Single Servo Module is a very small switching module to control a servo motor with JST or JR connection. Steering of the Single Servo Module is done by external buttons or alternatively directly in combination with a switching decoder.The Single Servo Module is a very small switching module to control a servo motor with JST or JR connection. Steering of the Single Servo Module is done by external buttons or alternatively directly in combination with a switching decoder.

The Single Servo Modul with 3 positions is a very small module with JST- and JR-plug to control a servo motor.

The steering is done by keys or alternatively via the output of an accessory decoder without the need of any additional decoupling relay.

As for the Servo Decoder, a variety of settings and options (Deactivation of the servo after steering, post luffing of railway crossing gates, etc.) are standards.

D&H decoder with Next18 interface.

17.11.2013 up

From now on the new D&H loco decoders of series DH18A with Next18 interface are available!

That makes D&H supporting yet another interface. In any other feature it is equal to series DH16 decoders.

As usual, we grant discount for orders of 5 and 10 items. Of course, we will make you a separate offer for larger amounts.

The new Starter Sets with central unit and sound - that's for the ears!

19.10.2013 up

Also for scales and we now offer attractive starter sets with the central units ZS1 or ZS2 and sound, too!

The PIKO starter sets are now available in attractive combinations with the central units ZS1 or ZS2 as well es sound!

If your desired starter set is not included in our web shop, leave us a message, we'll take care for that.

A never-ending SX-Bus: the new Selectrx-Bus-Distributor SXV-GA avoids transition resistances!

13.07.2013 up
By its terminal clamps in 5.0 mm pitch, the Selectrix-Bus-Distributor for Large Layouts SXV-GA provides a solid con-nection to distribute the Selectrix-Bus also for long distances.By its terminal clamps in 5.0 mm pitch, the Selectrix-Bus-Distributor for Large Layouts SXV-GA provides a solid con-nection to distribute the Selectrix-Bus also for long distances.

By its terminal clamps in 5.0 mm pitch, the Selectrix-Bus-Distributor for Large Layouts SXV-GA provides a solid connection to distribute the Selectrix-Bus also for long distances.

This is especially useful for large model railway layouts (of clubs) to avoid the forwarding of the SX-Bus from module to module via numerous plugs and thus to avoid signal degradation of the SX-Bus.

Different assembly options, e.g. with pluggable terminals, offer high flexibility and comfort especially for transportable and modular model railway layouts of clubs:

  • Fixed double-deck terminals
  • Fixed terminal and pluggable terminal
  • Both terminals pluggable

Controlling turning platforms easily done - with the new Turning Platform Controller DSM-PIC-H!

The Turning Platform Controller for the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC-H is a comfortable controlling unit to manually control a turning platform. The current position of the turning platform is permanently monitored.The Turning Platform Controller for the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC-H is a comfortable controlling unit to manually control a turning platform. The current position of the turning platform is permanently monitored.

The new Turning Platform Controller DSM-PIC-H is a comfortable contolling unit for manual steering of a turning platform.

The 5 keys, a rotary switch and the display allow easy steering, especially:

  • Step-by-step rotation
  • direct 180° turn (left/right)
  • rotating with comfortable pre-selection of destiantion track
  • display of current and target track
  • steering also without SX-Bus

Attention: It is a assessory only module for the Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC and cannot be used without it.

Controlling turning platforms easily done - with the new software update for the Professional Central Unit ZS1 and Digital Central Unit ZS2!

 
This PIC-Update enables the Display Board of the Professional Central Unit ZS1 to also comfortably steer turning platforms. When ordering the Display Board, always the latest software version is shipped and that update is not required.This PIC-Update enables the Display Board of the Professional Central Unit ZS1 to also comfortably steer turning platforms. When ordering the Display Board, always the latest software version is shipped and that update is not required.

The new PIC update extends the functionality of the Displayboard of the Professional Central Unit ZS1 resp. the Digital Central Unit ZS2 for a comfortable steering of turning platforms.

Numerous turning platforms can be steered. A fast access memory permits to switch two platforms rapidly. A supported turning platform module is required (e.g. Turning Platform Module DSM-PIC or Turning Platform Module SLX815).

The Update is included when purchasing the Displayboard of the Professional Central Unit ZS1 resp. the Digital Central Unit ZS2 and thus not to be ordered additionally.

More light for your model railway layout with the new SMD LEDs in different colours
