If you wanted to monitoring and control your model railway with a PC-Software you had to implement in the past a command station with integrated PC-Interface or an additional external interface suitable to your command station.
The DirectCommandStation (DiCoStation) offers now a low-cost command station which will work without any push-buttons and speed regulator because this functions will be taken over from the PC-Model Railway Software.
The DiCoStation contains a 1.1/2.0 Full Speed USB-Connection to the PC. All USB-Units require a so called USB-Unit Driver Software which can be found at the section Downloads for the DiCoStation.
Via the 5-poles Boosterbus-connection is it possible that up to 10 DigitalBooster DB-2, DB-4 or compatible Booster can supply the required capacity to the rails and to accessory decoders such as Turnout-Decoders with digital informations.
The DiCoStation creates as multiprotocol-central-unit the data formats Märklin-Motorola and DCC which can be available as mixed formats as well.
The DiCoStation contains additionally the connections for three s88-Feedback Lines for up to 496 Feedback Contacts.
