LoDi Overview at DCC Train Automation. No 5.

[@bryan_lane]

That all looks very exciting. Two features I really like are the ability to adjust detection current on feedback and the capability to handle day/night lighting.

[@hillmanhalt]

I love the LoDi system, fully recomend to all.

[@WantstowRD]

I have a large shunting layout in scale 0. So far the Lodi Concept is the best system. Because of the 3 independent interfaces that can be used.

Hi James, exciting stuff. Railcom hasn't been taken advantage of by many - I see this as LoDi's usp. (Andreas could do with his own microphone)

[@dcctrain]

Awesome!

[@MRBenchwork]

Are there any American Distributors for this system? If you don't have one, Would you like one?

[@overdenestation]

hello James are these LoDi Feedback Moudles Loconet linked together and are they better than the dr4088lncs modules

[@DCCtrainautomation]

These are not on loconet no there are on LoDi own S88 but not the normal S88 keep watching the next videos to find out more. You will see a lot of new ideas.

James, I think it was said in this video that the current is measured for each locomotive and I am not sure if this was being obtained via Railcom? It was also said that it would aid fault detection if a loco was drawing too much current? Is it possible in Lodi to switch the power from individual feedbacks -very cool if that is what was being said. Of course, I could simply have simply misconstrued what i think that I heard. 😀

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Hi you kind of got it right. So each feedback to the block monitors the current draw in that block. Then reports this to iTrian and you can see it there. Also if a short happens in iTrain it circles that specific feedback. Also, all done using RailCom.

Very interesting, I am revisiting my systems with Digikeijs gone bust. I have 2 DR5000's and am looking at the options. Would the handset be able to work with I-train lite ?? I still like the idea of I-train but need to drive off the computer as well. Could this be a solution

[@dougjuk]

@@corjansen1958 Yes thanks I am aware been looking at videos and waiting for the chip to be available again.

[@paulgermain9157]

Is LocoNet supported?

[@DCCtrainautomation]

No the system at the moment does not use loconet as it’s not as good as there system. Why would you want to use loconet? For hand throttles?
