Dynamis DCC

[Reinhard S]

Hi All.

I am currently using the Bachmann EZ Command on my modest layout, however, I have, and am planning, more DCC turnouts than the unit can support and thus to my question: How many DCC turnouts can the Dynamis system control?  I am looking at a maximum of 20 DCC turnouts.

All the best.

the manual , on page 15, states

"Adresses up to 100 (25 decoders) can be supported."

"Adresses up to 100 (25 decoders) can be supported."

What does that mean in terms of number of turnouts?  Does each of those 25 decoders have 4 outputs?  How many outputs does it take to operate a decoder?  I could guess two outputs to drive a dual solenoid decoder, but how about stall motor decoders like the Tortoise?

Hi Again.

The turnouts that I am using are the Bachmann DCC type.  I am able to operate 8 of these (independently) with the EZ Command.  I am not sure as to the number of decoders in each turnout (I was under the assumption 1 each).  Would the Dynamis be able to control 20 Bachmann DCC turnouts in the same fashion as the EZ Command?

Thanks again, and all the best.

I would say yes.
