CONTROL MODULES

Dedicated electronic modules have been developed for electrically controlling a layout using the "block" method. The two main module types are:

• The "Throttle controller" or "PWM Controller" Module
  The main module task of the PWM control modules is to deliver the block power supplies. Each module controls 4 blocks. "PWM": stands for "Pulse Width Modulation". The PWM modules also inform CATrain about the block occupation. They detect the presence of a train by its electrical power consumption
  
  
  
  
  
• The Device controller Module
  This module controls the layout devices, like signals and switches. A single "Device Controller" module delivers 8 independent pulses to drive 4 twin coil devices, or 8 simple devices (e.g. LED signal, relays, ...)
