ESU 50094 ECoSDetector feedback module, 16 digital inputs

Current sensor The ECoSDetector can monitor 16 track sections. The inputs can be individually switched between switching input (ground input) or current sensor by a jumper. The ECoSDetector can therefore be used universally on all track systems and is therefore the first choice for all 2-wire operators. Since the inputs, in each of which a maximum current of 3A may flow, can be supplied with current separately in two groups, each ECoSDetector can cover up to two booster circuits. Optocouplers ensure reliable detection.

Train number detection In addition to conventional track occupancy detectors, the ECoSDetector is also capable of special monitoring of four of the 16 track sections: With the help of RailCom® technology ("local detector"), it is possible to find out on these sections not only whether there is a train on them, but even exactly which train it is (train number detection). To do this, of course, you need Railcom®-capable locomotive decoders.

Clever Knowing which train exactly is on a section leads to new functions in connection with the route module of the ECoS: For example, the barriers of a level crossing can be lowered automatically, or the trains look for a free track in the staging yard. Here, the switching inputs or track occupancy detectors are electronically "debounced" to ensure reliable feedback even in the event of unreliable contact or heavily soiled rails.

ECoSlink connection Each ECoSDetector is directly connected to the control center via the ECoSlink bus. Suitable are all ECoS command stations as well as all Central Station® Reloaded with Update from ESU. The galvanic isolation of bus system and command station ensures highest operational safety and secure transmission to the command station. All ECoSDetectors are automatically detected at the command station and integrated into the operating sequence. The configuration of the devices is done comfortably and conveniently directly at the command station and can also be done after installation.

Future built in The operating software of each ECoSDetector can be updated and extended by additional functions if required: The "update" required for this is carried out fully automatically by the control panel, if necessary. In this way, your ECoSDetector is always up to date with the latest technology.
