- The
MS100 Computer Interface is designed to let a
computer with an IBM compatible COM, or RS232 communications port,
monitor Digitrax LocoNet.
Application software running in the computer can then interpret the
activity on the LocoNet and report back to
the user via the computer screen. The MS100 is a signal level
translator between LocoNet and a 25 pin DB25 style RS232 port.
- For
example, an application for a Railroad "CTC"
type display panel would display a "schematic" layout of the
railroad on the computer screen. The schematic can be set up to
respond to software messages received via LocoNet
to indicate block occupancy, signal state and other information
received from detection devices attached to LocoNet.
- Please
refer to the documentation of the third-party software for full
details of the features and capabilities of the optional software you
have purchased.
- For
IBM compatibles with only a 9 pin male DB9 type COM port connector,
you can use a DB9(female) to DB25(male)
adapter commonly sold in computer stores to make this conversion to
the regular DB25 style COM connector. Be sure you are
connected to the correct COM port and that you have it set up
as required to match the settings needed by your software package.
