Connection decoder with LGB PCB

When using the orig. LGB pantograph control the switch boards can continue to be used sensibly become. With the direct connection of the motors (page 10) the shutdown only takes place over time. In this example the switch-off occurs through the end contacts. The pcb must be completely new designed and the motor must be connected in a schematic new way.

Product description

The mXion PGS is a versatile module. Ideally it is to control pantographs too. This is ever a pantograph to each one motor output connected. About the corresponding contact input, the engine then high or be shut down. K1 switches Mot1 and K2 switches Mot2.

The module can be used both, analog & digital

In analog , the contact inputs can be simple to be connected to the track, then drive the pantographs depend on the direction down.
In digital the module can be connected to one already existing decoder. If there is no one our GLD decoder is the perfect choice. In digital connect the module to DEC+ and DEC- for supply voltage. K1 and K2 then connect to one each function output with which you then the pantographs can control.

The speed and travel time of the engines can be adjusted via the 2 potis. The two outputs A1 and A2 enter permanent alternating flashing again.
