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 - 3rail Wiki

RailCom. RailCom is een techniek die 2 richting verkeer tussen DCC decoder en centrale mogelijk maakt. RailCom is een NMRA-standaard (NMRA 9.3.2) is ontwikkeld door de firma Lenz. Bij RailCom stuurt de centrale een DCC pakketje en nadat dit verzonden is schakelt de centrale even voor een korte periode om van verzenden naar ontvangen.

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 - TINET

RailCom is the name of the technology of bi-directional communication developed by Lenz according to the RP 9.3.1 and RP 9.3.2 of the NMRA . RailCom allows an external device to be able to read real data transmitted from a decoder. These data can include among others: the actual speed of decoder, its load, the contents of any CV and its address.

Cobalt Alpha & ECoS Model Railway Forum

Mar 13, 2016 . RailCom is not lost in our tests using Alpha with RailCom systems as alpha does not replace normal bus information, it merely adds change commands. Your original control system should still see them if they are present. However if Alpha is being used with levers on a separate accessory bus it is also not so relevant. Richard

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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 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.

  • 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.:
