Accessory decoder  

for Selectrix

®

 

for 8 turnouts, signals, uncouplers, relays 

WDMiba 3 

v5-2010 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

Degree of difficulty:

Required capabilities: 

-  Easy assembling and soldering of the PCB 
 

 

The  accessory  decoder  WDMiba  is  an  output  device  for  con-
trolling  8  turnouts,  semaphores,  light  signals,  uncouplers  or 
relays of a Selectrix-controlled model railway layout. 
Solenoid  based  consumers 

(additional  recovery  diodes  are 

required!)

  are  powered  by  pulsed  current.  Light  signals  are 

powered  by  continuous  current.  To  power  accessories  with 
electric motors the extension kit ESMot has to be populated. 
The  accessory  decoder’s  SX  bus  address  and  its  settings 
(pulsed or continuous current) can be configured through SX 
bus individually for each of the 8 output channels. 
When (re-) powering the Selectrix bus, the accessory decoder 
feeds  back  its  last  state  (position  of  the  turnouts  etc.)  to  the 
central unit.) before the system was switched off the last time. 

Special features 

-  Especially for Selectrix

®

 

-  Further improved reliability by using input comparators at the 

SX bus 

-  Population option for motorized consumers already foreseen 

(ESMot) – no additional PCB is required 

-  Space for series resistors for LEDs already included on PCB
