Littfinski DatenTechnik D-25492 Heist Multi-Digital www.ldt-infocenter.com LED1 + ST1 GO LED2 Littfinski DatenTechnik (LDT) ST2 + USB STOP ST6 BOOSTER EXT-PORT Computer USB If the DiCoStation will be extended by the adapter Adap-HSI-s88-N is it possible to use screened patch cables as s88-bus cables to the first feedback module. Even if you use only a few feedback modules at your layout you should distribute the modules evenly on the three lines. This will give you the advantage that the reading of the feedback events will be considerable faster and reported to the PC. The numbering of the feedback modules: The standard feedback modules of the s88-feedback systems consist of 16 inputs. The first 16-fold module at the Left input will be always the first feedback module within the feedback system. The further counting will continue via the terminal Middle until the end of the right line. - 12 - DiCoStation – Manual The software DSI and as well the model railway software offers mostly the possibility to number each line from 1 upward. With the DiCoStation is it possible to control up to 31 16-fold standard-feedback modules respectively 62 8-fold feedback modules (e.g. RM-GB-8-N with integrated track occupancy report). To each bus line can be a maximum of 31 respectively 62 modules connected. But in summary to all three lines cannot be more than 31 16fold respectively 62 8-fold modules connected. It is possible to connect all s88-feedback bus compatible feedback modules to the DiCoStation. Apart from the LDT-Modules RM-88-N and RM-88-N-Opto for the 3conductor rail-system and the RM-GB-8-N with integrated track occupancy report for the 2-conductor rail-system is it as well possible to use feedback modules from other manufacturers. Different brands and types can be mixed within the feedback lines. Various application- and wiring-samples are available on our Web Site at the Internet within the section Sample Connections and Downloads. If your model railway software supports the HSI-88-USB which is integrated at the DiCoStation the feedback system will work event controlled: one or several changes of feedback inputs will be reported to the PC at once. This saves considerable computing time and will be noticed within a reduced reaction time because the PC has not to request (and therefore delayed) about changes at a cyclical mode but receives those reports actual from the DiCoStation respectively from the integrated HSI-88-USB. Functional control: Whenever during operation (GO) feedback changes will be transmitted to the PC the red LED of the DiCoStation will flash up. The software DIGITAL-S-INSIDE (DSI) contains an integrated feedback monitor for indicating the occupancy status of single feedback modules. For using the feedback monitor you have at first to set the HSI-88 within the DSI to “active“ and register the quantity of the 16-fold feedback modules of each feedback line. At the directory “Feedback Monitor” you can select the bus-line and the feedback-address section for your indication of the occupancy reports. Occupied contacts will be marked by a dot. Additional information is available at the DSI Installation Manual attached to you DiCoStation. - 13 - DiCoStation – Manual 6. Firmware Update: The software of the DiCoStation is a so-called Firmware. This software can be easily actualized via the PC. 1. At first load-up the file “DiCoStation HSI-88.exe“ to your PC. This file can be found at the section “Downloads“ on our Web Site at the downloads for DiCoStation. This file is a ServiceTool, which includes the actual Firmware as well. At first click with the right mouse button onto the file “DiCoStation HSI-88.exe” and then with the left mouse button onto „Ziel speichern unter ...“ (“Saving under….”). 2. As memory cell on your PC select at the window “Speichern unter” (“Store under”) “Desktop” (“Desktop”) and click onto “Speichern” (“Saving”). 3. Click on “Schließen” (“Close”) as soon as the window “Download beendet” (“Download completed”) appears. - 14 - DiCoStation – Manual 4. For the following procedure has the DiCoStation to be connected via the USBinterface to the PC. The model railway layout has not to be switched-on. 5. Call with a doubleclick the program “DiCoStation HSI-88” from the Desktop and click onto the section “Update”. Under “Installierte Firmwareversion“ (“Installed firmware version”): the present version stored at your DiCoStation will be indicated. If under “Verfügbare Firmwareversion“ (“Available Firmware Version“): a higher version number will be indicated please click onto ”Firmwareupdate”. Important Information: The device number should never be changed. Otherwise the model railway software will not recognize the DiCoStation any more. The device number will be important as soon as you use more than one DiCoStation or additionally an HSI-88-USB. The first DiCoStation will get automatically always the device number 1. 6. Click at the window “Firmwareupdate” on “Ja” (“Yes”). - 15 - DiCoStation – Manual 7. During the updates should be the USB-connection to the DiCoStation not interrupted. After a short transmittance time which will be indicated at two additional windows please click under the report “Firmwareupdate erfolgreich abgeschlossen” (“Firmware successful completed”) on “OK”. 8.
