Frequently Asked Questions |

|
What's an MRE Bus? |
|
An MRE (Model Railway Electroincs) Bus is a propriety interface between modules. |
|
This interface is used to pass information about Signals, Points, Detectors, etc |
|
to other modules. |
|
The Bus consists of two wires connected between two or more modules. |
|
These wires MUST NOT be connected to any other device. |
|
|
|
How do these Controllers Work? |
|
All our controllers have an onboard micro computer. |
|
This micro computer has our software loaded into at time of manufacture. |
|
The software receives information from Point Positions, Train Detectors, Other |
|
controllers and timers. The software uses this information to set the state of the signals |
|
it controls. Information about the state of these signals is passed to other modules on |
|
on an MRE-Bus. |
|
|
|
I can't get my Controller to work? |
|
There could be a number of reasons why your controller fails to work correctly. |
|
For this reason we have write some test sheets for each type of controller. |
|
Download the sheet for your controller type and follow the test flow. |

|
Why do I need another Power Supply Unit? |
|
All of our modules have an in-built micro computer. This micro computer |
|
requires a very "clean" +5 Volt Power Supply to operate |
|
correctly. Most Model Railway Power Supplies are to |
|
noisey and can cause incorrect operation of the |
|
modules. For this reason we sell a range of tested power |
|
supply units to power our modules. |
