PSX Network Feedback ?
Posted by BigDaddy on Saturday, March 23, 2019 8:31 AM

I'm delving into the instructions to install a remote LED.  I stumbled across the fact that J4 and J5 provide terminals for "Network Feedback"  of Block Occupancy, Block Shorted, and Power On

I know what occupancy, short and on mean, but what network?  Is this a JMRI or loconet thing?  I'm running a Powercab.

 Question 2, what is the pitch, the distance between holes where a terminal block would fit?    Mine is in an awkward place to measure and to uninstall just to measure.

 There's no network, it's just effective a set of contacts. You need an interface device for your system to actually enable the detection output to do anything - a DS64 is one for Digitrax, or you could connect it to an AIU for using NCE.
