From the project
DCC / Railcom decoder (NEM651, double sided)
My Homebrew D20 decoder is a double sided mobile decoder with NEM-651 connector. The decoder is designed to integrate into the RTB digital control infrastructure.
- RTBD12 - custom (Fleischmann V100) - RTBD13 - custom (Minitrix coach) - RTBD15 - custom (Minitrix V160) - RTBD16 - NEM651 - RTBD21 - Next18 - RTBD22 - Plux16 - RTB_D23 - NEM652
The decoder has the following features, - NEM-651 connector - DCC - DCC-A automatic logon - DCC-R protocol extension - Service Mode Programming - Railcom - Channel 1/2 - POM, xPOM - DYN: Speed, QoS, Track-voltage, Motor-current, AUX-current, Temp…
