RailCom and RailComPlus - DCCWiki

The basic functionality of RailCom is based on the fact that in the otherwise continuous DCC energy and data stream, short gaps (“cutouts”, max. 500µS) can be inserted into the DCC signal on the rails, providing decoders with the time and opportunity to send data bytes which can be evaluated by stationary detectors. With the help of RailCom ...

Railcom & Railcom Plus, what are these ? LocGeek


DCC is the most popular norm for running a digital model train layout. There are other digital protocols (Motorola, MFX, Selectrix…) that I won’t discuss here. The bottom line is: with the right command station and decoders, you can achieve much more than on an analog layout. DCC was defined by the 2 main model train organizations: 1. MOROP (MOdellbahn EuROPe), the standardization body in Europe, publishing the well known “NEM” rules (Norms for European M…

RailCom Uses - DCC₄PC


RailCom™ is a technique whereby a RailCom™ enabled decoder transmits variouspieces of information onto the tracks. Obviously while the command station orbooster is putting a DCC signal onto the tracks, this is not possible. Thesolution was to create a short ‘cutout’ in the DCC signal lasting a mere 448µsduring which time both track outputs are effectively wired together. This cutoutis short enough to be ignored by all NMRA compliant non RailCom™ enableddevice…

Railcom compatible equipment - DCC Discussion Topics

when I set up the dr5000 with a RailCom cutout, with iTrain in charge, I see the following problems: 1) on startup the dr5000 tries to set the turnout motors. Often, during the set process the dr5000 will cut out. It is not a short, as I can just press the green button and we are off and running again.

Deciding on command station & throttle Model Railroad

The booster design is quite far along, but needs a bit more software development yet. RailCom is an important feature to the TCS ecosystem going forward, and the boosters are designed to work directly with the command station using a new OpenLCB standard in development for collecting global RailCom feedback from each booster at the command …

LCC - it's not replacing DCC, it's adding to it. Model

Jun 29, 2017 . Instead, LCC is a separate standard for doing things that DCC, which really has limited bandwidth, shouldn't be. It all comes down to bandwidth, or, how many bits you can shove down a single path. DCC is pretty slow - 8000bps (8Kbps). Your average computer network operates at 100Mbps, or approximately 12,500 times faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What decoders are compatible with Railcom command stations?

    A RailCom or RailCom Plus command station. RailCom implies slightly modifying the DCC signal on the tracks. It will remain perfectly compatible with non RailCom decoders, but adds a short electronic “cutout”. So you will need a CS that is either RailCom (or better RailCom Plus) compatible.

  • What is Railcom and how does it work?

    Lenz demonstrated the RailCom concept at a DCC Working Group meeting in the spring of 2000. It has been incorporated into an NMRA RP for Two-Way communications between the command station and multi-function decoders on the track. RailCom is completely backwards compatible with Digital Command Control.

  • What is the difference between DCC and Railcom?

    They developped (with or without other firms, stories differ), another layer on top of DCC: the RailCom technology. RailCom is backward compatible with DCC, which means you can run any DCC decoder with a RailCom command station, and that RailCom Decoders will work normally with non RailCom stations.

  • Is railrailcom an official NEM norm?

    RailCom, as said above, is not an official NEM norm. It starts being adopted however by several German manufacturers: This has been around for about 2 years, and is yet another layer on top of DCC.

  • What is the difference between DCC and Railcom?

    They developped (with or without other firms, stories differ), another layer on top of DCC: the RailCom technology. RailCom is backward compatible with DCC, which means you can run any DCC decoder with a RailCom command station, and that RailCom Decoders will work normally with non RailCom stations.

  • How does railcomplus work with Railcom?

    RailComPlus adds the ability to read the multi-function decoder's function capabilities and automatically register the locomotive with the command station. Immediately prior to the cutout occurring a RailCom compatible command station transmits an Idle Packet. This signals to a RailCom enabled multi-function decoder that the cutout will follow.

  • What decoders are compatible with Railcom command stations?

    A RailCom or RailCom Plus command station. RailCom implies slightly modifying the DCC signal on the tracks. It will remain perfectly compatible with non RailCom decoders, but adds a short electronic “cutout”. So you will need a CS that is either RailCom (or better RailCom Plus) compatible.

  • What is Railcom cutout and Railcom message?

    RailCom Cutout: A gap in the DCC transmission, created by a RailCom Cutout unit, of approximately 500µs, for the decoder to send RailCom Messages. RailCom Message: A message which a RailCom-capable decoder sends out in the RailCom-specified procedure. Consists of at least one, often several RailCom Datagrams i.e.:
