Station Stop on circuit using DCC Concepts Zen Black ABC
« on: July 12, 2024, 09:22:58 AM »
This is for a station stop only on a circuit, not for shuttle or intermediate stopping on a shuttle, they will be covered separately.

Read in conjunction with the DCC Concepts manual

ABC Board:
T1 = Isolated section
T2 = Bus feed
All jumpers on lower pins (see image)

Tested using Zen Black 8 pin and Zen Black 21pin decoders. I found that changing the following CV's got it working.
CV27 = 4
CV55 = 0
CV56 = 0
CV58 = 0
CV59 = 0
CV60 = 1 ( 1 = 10secs, 2 = 20secs, etc., increase number for longer stopping time ).

Notes:
1. The rail breaks are shown on the inner loop for ease of showing image diagram, you can have them on the outside rail instead.
2. Where you have N Gauge locomotives with 6pin ( DCC Concepts currently do not do a 6pin Zen Black decoder ), an 8pin plug from a wired 8pin Zen Black was removed and the wires soldered to a 6pin adaptor board ( alternatively you could 'hard wire' it ).
