INSTRUCTION MANUAL CENTRAL COMMAND STATION MX10, MX10EC Page7
•
Primary power supply
power supply unit with
20 - 35 V =
80 - 600 watt
You can only use galvani-
cally isolated power supply
units!
MX10 powers up automat-
ically after connect-
ing/turning on the power
supply unit.
Sockets for ZIMO CAN and LAN
CAN bus
- for a 6-pole connection to ZIMO controllers
and modules; and/or
- for an 8-pole connection to ZIMO stationary
equipment modules “StEin” and compatible
boosters as well as booster input and booster-
error output (CAN and synchronization for ex-
ternal DCC-power amplifiers).
LAN interface as networkable alternative to an
USB-computer connection, or to a WiFi router
(tablet apps, etc.)
AOS inputs and LED outputs
8 logic-level inputs (react to ground and positive voltage, e.g. track signal) for
- External buttons for emergency stop and emergency OFF,
- Track contacts for internal AOS (automatic operation sequences)
- Track contacts for external AOS (automatic operation sequences)
6 LED outputs (resilience of up to 25 mA) for
- Signals, various lights, controlled by AOS,
Supply pins 5V and GROUND.
2.4 GHz antenna for Mi-Wi radio
To communicate with radio modules, ZIMO us-
es “Mi-Wi”, a “mesh network” based on compo-
nents and software of the company Microchip,
derived from the ZigBee standard. The mes-
sages are forwarded from nod to nod until they
reach their destination, even if there is no direct
radio connection at the moment.
It can be expanded to train radio.
Outputs: Track / Track DC (DC out)
2-pole socket “track” - usually main track / programming track
“Digital current” (DCC, MM, in future possibly other track formats like mfx, sx)
Polarity N,P without meaning in simple applications,
important on layouts with sections or track sections
(MX9, StEin, booster application)
Settings for the output “track”: Voltage, current limits, etc.
3-fold socket “DC out” “
-
S, GROUND, 12 V
(S=track)
to supply stationary equipment modules StEin, track section
modules, terminal loop modules, and others (within the MX10 DCC power amplifiers).
All necessary connectors are included in the scope of supply.
