DiCoStation – Manual
5. Feedback Modules connection:
The application of the DiCoStation allows installing three s88 Feedback Lines instead
of one. The request of the feedback modules will be therefore three times as fast.
Additionally is the arrangement of the feedback modules below the layout base plate
considerable simple.
Start always to connect the first line to the terminal Left (L). The second line connect
to the terminal Middle (M). If you need a third line you should connect this line to the
terminal Right (R).
Please use the s88-standard bus connection. Plug-on the s88-bus plugs that way to
the 6-poles pin plug bar that the white single wire will correspond to the white
marking at the pin plug bar.
Pay special attention that the bus-plugs will not be plugged to the pin bar in an
offset position. Otherwise the s88-inputs of the DiCoStation will be damaged.

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.

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.

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

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 -
