mXion APS Shuttle Train Control 1

Drive-Time over poti or contact inputs and drive speed will be set over the connected power supply. MOT1 and MOT2 connect together for 1 ch. with 2 Amps instead of 2 channels.
Optionally, you can use the contact inputs as limiter.

Product Description

The mXion analog pendulum control (APS) is a versatile module. In this case, corresponds to the connection diagram of the cabling on page 9 the purpose of an analog pendulum control with soft start and prototypical slowdown. This modern module is construction also without endpoint switches such as reed contacts as possible with conventional shuttle train controls. This eliminates the need for wiring the endpoints. However, the classic design is also included a limit switch possible, this can be useful if there are inclines or declines in the route so that the travel time is in both directions different from each other. In that case, turn the travel time to the max. getting as additional security on. The wiring is then carried out as shown on page 9 with K1 & K2. Set the driving speed at your existing control transformer, travel time, and hold time over the two adjust the rotary knobs (potentiometer). It is, speed” the travel time and the rotary knob with “time” is the hold time. Another advantage of this APS module is the possibility to be able to control two shuttle train routes. These are the connections MOT1 and MOT2 to be used. Any channel is designed for 1A. When more powerful loco. are on the line drive, connect MOT1 and MOT2 in parallel according to the circuit diagram to get 2A. But then it stands only one available.
