2.0 Product overview

2.1 General product informaon

The DR5052 is a turntable decoder that can control almost all turntables. All common control protocols are supported. When using the DR5052 in the Basic or Basic Plus ver-

sion, no modicaons to the turntable are necessary, the turntable can be connected and operated "Out of the Box". For the turntables of Roco® and Märklin® corresponding

adapters are available, so that also here a conversion of the turntable is omied, when using the Basic or Basic Plus version. For the professional version we oer a complete

conversion kit including an adapter board for a Plux22 decoder (The decoder must be purchased separately.). The polarity of the bridge track is reversed directly in the

DR5052, so no addional hardware is required. Of course, a RailCom® detector and a "normal" occupancy signal for the bridge track are also integrated.

Features of the individual versions:

DR5052 Basic The posion is detected by the latch of the turntable plaorm, so there is a "click" to be heard at every exit. Slow braking at the selected siding is

possible. The motor control is carried out directly via the DR5052. The speed can be set individually in the tool.

DR5052 Basic-Plus Posion detecon is carried out via addional feedback sensors on the track connecons. The un-latching of the turntable plaorm is performed once

and remains unlocked unl the DR5052 detects the selected siding. Now the DR5052 brakes down and drives slowly into posion. Aer reaching the

posion, the turntable plaorm latches safely again. The motor is controlled directly via the DR5052. The speed can be set individually in the tool.

DR5052 Professional Posion detecon is carried out via addional feedback sensors on the track connecons. The motor control is carried out via a separate

Locomove decoder (PluX22). Depending on the decoder used, load control is also available. Of course you can also use sound (at decoder) can be

played back. The light of the bridge house and the entrance and exit signals can also be controlled if the locomove decoder used provides sucient

funcon outputs. The maximum speed (CV5), the acceleraon ramp (CV3) and the deceleraon ramp (CV4) are programmed directly in the tool of the

DR5052.

Basic requirements for the use of the DR5052:

The turntable must be mechanically in order and funcon absolutely problem-free!

It is important that the latch-magnet coil (Fleischmann® or similar) of the turntable drive opens completely. There must be no clicking noises when turning when the locking

device is pulled out!

The DR5052 is directly supplied with track voltage and can also be operated via a separate DC power supply. The separate power supply must always be used when the track

voltage is below 16V. A voltage below 16V is not sucient to safely control the turntable!

! Aenon!

In principle, the track connecons of the turntable must be insulated from the shed tracks on both sides! This must be observed in order to avoid a short circuit. The connu-

ing tracks can then be normally supplied with track voltage again or monitored with a feedback signal. The polarity of the sidings can be set in the conguraon program.

2.2 Technical Specicaons

The terminals are designed for a cross-secon of 0.25mm² (Turntable and Sense) and 0.5mm² (Track Input). For the 0.25mm² terminals, a screwdriver should be used with a

blade size of 0.3×1.8mm (e.g. Wera® 118004) Other sizes can damage the terminals.

Roco® H0 turntable with 16 track connecons is to be operated as Basic-Plus version:

Aenon! The DR5052 can only be operated as Basic Version and without LocoNet® on a digital system that operates according to the "Common Ground"

principle (for example Uhlenbrock®). Failure to do so may result in damage to the DR5052 and/or the control unit.

3.4 Connecng the DR5052 to the PC via USB

With the desktop symbol the soware can be started. Do not start the soware unl the following steps have been performed!

First connect the PC with the supplied USB cable and then with the DR5052.

Windows "detects" the new hardware and installs the drivers.

Wait unl this process is completed and you receive a message from Windows that the hardware has been installed correctly.

Windows will assign and reserve a COM port to the DR5052.

(The numbering of the COM ports depends on the conguraon of the PC)

Here the COM412 port is used.

COM412 is the communicaon port for the DR.Command protocol.

4.4 Updang the So- and Firmware

The development of the DR5052 soware connues and is constantly being improved. Firmware updates allow you to equip the DR5052 with the latest so-

ware. The new rmware is integrated in a new conguraon soware. Before a rmware update is performed, it is recommended to save the current sengs

using the "Import/Export Sengs" funcon.

You must rst install the latest version of the conguraon soware before the current rmware update is available.

Procedure:

1) First uninstall the current installaon of the conguraon soware from

2) her PC.

3) Disconnect the DR5052 from the PC.

4) Download the new version from our website.

5) Install the conguraon soware.

6) Connect the DR5052 to the USB cable and the PC.

7) Open the conguraon soware.

8) Go to the USB2.0 menu.

9) Use the "Update DR5052" buon to acvate the rmware update.

IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect the DR5052 from the PC when updang the rmware!

This may cause the DR5052 to become unusable.

IMPORTANT!!! Before the rmware update, the DR5052 automacally saves the sengs.

However, it may happen that the DR5052 module is reset to the factory sengs. Therefore,

check all sengs of the DR5052 aer an update!
