General functions:
The feedback module RM-88-N contains 16 inputs, which will
switch against ground. The module is compatible to the Märklin
feedback module s88.
Connecting the RM-88-N to command
stations or interfaces:
Up to 31 feedback modules RM-88-N can evaluate the reports
of a Märklin INTERFACE, Central Station 1 and 2, Intellibox,
TWIN-CENTER, EasyControl, ECoS, HSI-88-(USB) and
DiCoStation.
On each Märklin Memory can be up to 3 feedback modules
RM-88-N connected.
All feedback modules will receive the operating current from
the s88-feedback bus.
If you want to extend your layout with RM-88-N feedback
modules you can combine those with our feedback modules
RM-DEC-88(-Opto), RM-88-N-O, RM-GB-8(-N) respectively
with s88 feedback module of other manufacturers.
The addresses of the feedback modules are related to the
sequence of the connection to the command station
respectively to the interface. The feedback module, which is
directly connected to the central unit, will receive always the
address 1. Further details can be found within the operation
instruction of your command station respectively your
interface.
The feedback module RM-88-N contain two 6-poles pin-bars
for the s88-standard connection and as well two RJ-45
sockets for a bus connection according to
s88-N
. At the RM-88-
N are pin-bars and sockets marked with OUT and IN.
Out indicates the connection in direction to the command
station or interface. IN indicates the connection to the next
following feedback module within the s88-bus line.
Command stations and interfaces are always equipped with
an s88-input for an s88-standard connection.
For the s88-standard connection is an interference
protected twisted s88-bus cable with original s88-bus plugs
available.
The plugs of the s88-bus cable are correct attached onto the
6-poles pin-bar of the RM-88-N if the white single wire
corresponds with the white marking on the pc-board next to
the pin-bar.
The direction of the cable has to be directly away from the
feedback module. Additionally attend to the position of the
plugs on the 6-poles pin-bars. No offset will be acceptable.
For the
s88-N
s88-bus connection we offer a screened blue
patch-cable with RJ-45 plugs.
Attention: Command stations with PC-network connection
(e.g. Central Station 1 and 2 and ECoS) contain as well a RJ-
45 socket. It is not acceptable to connect the RM-88-N to
the RJ-45 network sockets.
