Introduction To DCS
The Track Interface Unit
Also known as the TIU, the Track Interface Unit is the brains behind the DCS system. Con-
nected between the transformer and the track, the TIU receives signals from the DCS Applica-
tion and relays those signals to each train you are controlling via the rails. The type of signal
relayed to the train depends on the operating mode at the time. If operating conventionally, the
TIU will raise and lower track voltage to control engine speed. If operating in command mode,
the TIU will send a digital signal to each train you are controlling via the track rails.
This digital signal is very powerful and contains a lot of information much like the digital sig-
nals used in today’s high tech products. These digital signals are what allow DCS to perform
the hundreds of functions designed into the system.
ATTENTION
TIU contains internal fuses.
If there is no output,
open the case (6 screws)
and check the fuse.
