HSI-88-USB

High Speed Interface for the s88-Feedbackbus!

The HSI-88-USB is a Feedback-Interface from a s88-Feedbackbus to an USB-Interface of a Computer.

The interface includes three s88 bus-plugs. This offers the advantage of a much faster s88 bus handling and the possibility to build up three bus-lines at the layout-system!

All Feedback-Events will be fast transmitted, without any detour via the command station, via the USB-Interface directly to the PC.

Features of the HSI-88-USB

  • A fast (1.1/2.0 Full-Speed USB-Connection) galvanically isolated connection to the computer via USB. All USB-Units require a so called USB-Unit Driver Software which can be found at the section Downloads for the HSI-88-USB.
  • The 3 feedback lines additionally enhance the reading-time of the s88-feedback bus by 3-times.
  • 3 feedback lines will give you the advantage of a more simple arrangement of the feedback modules below your layout.
  • It is possible to monitor a total of 31*16 feedback contacts with one bus-line. But in summary of all three bus lines are not more than 31*16 contacts readable.
  • Besides all standard-feedback-modules such as s88 from Märklin or our RM-88-N / RM-DEC-88 you can naturally operate on the HSI-88-USB as well our feedback modules witch optocoupling RM-88-N-O / RM-DEC-88-Opto and our feedback modules with integrated track occupancy report RM-GB-8-N / RM-GB-8.

Correct connection of the s88-standard feedback cables of all three feedback lines to the High Speed Interface HSI-88-USB: Right hand and at the middle an interference-free twisted s88-standard bus cable from our delivery program. Left hand a ribbon-cable from Märklin or other manufacturer.

With the adapter Adap-HSI-s88-N is it possible to connect s88-Feedback Modules such as RM-88-N, RM-88-N-O or RM-GB-8-N directly via the screened Patch-Kabel to the HSI-88-USB in accordance to s88-N.
