vides servo outputs, relay outputs and inputs for the model railway layout.
Servo turnouts 4 turnouts
Servo turnouts with polarisaon 4 servo turnouts with polarisaon
Semaphore signals with lighng 4 semaphore signals
Barrier crossing with St. Andrew‘s cross 2 level crossings
Double slip switch / three-way turnout 2 Mul-way turnouts
Online Documentaon
Nowadays, printed manuals can become outdated very quickly.
The most recent version of this manual can be found in the download secon of the
FichtelBahn webpage. The version number in the footer will shows the current version.
New funcons und addions are always published in the online version on the
webpage rst.
Further informaon on this product can be found also in the BiDiB-Wiki on
hps://wiki.chtelbahn.de (Unl now unfortunately mainly in German)
Please noce:
The ReadyServoTurn cannot be controlled by digital command staons that only
send digital turnout commands to the accessory decoders (e.g. DCC format).
The ReadyServoTurn requires the BiDiBus for operaon.
The ReadyServoTurn allows the posion and speed of each servo output to be set.
With the help of the relays, the frogs or switch blades can also be polarised.

01. Safety Instrucons
To reduce the risk of electric shock and injuries do not touch parts that carry voltage.
Do not touch conducve material that might carry voltage in case of a fault, e.g. short
circuit, improper input voltage, excessive humidity and accumulaon of condensate.
To reduce these risks, keep these safety precauons in mind:
Use this module only indoors and in a clean and dry environment. Avoid moisture and
splash water in close proximity.
Switch o the voltage supply before carrying out wiring work. Only use wire with suf-
cient cross-secon. Wait for 2 hours aer accumulaon of condensate.

The current consumpon of up to max. 2A, depending
on the simultaneously acve servo motors, should be
taken into account when selecng the power supply.
Several modules can be connected to one power
supply at the same me if the power supply used can
provide the necessary output current.
Please noce:
DO NOT connect a transformer (alternang volt-
age/AC) or reced alternang voltage. Doing so
will lead to unrepairable damage to the module!
04.2 Connecng to the BiDiBus
The ReadyServoTurn has two parallel BiDiBus sockets (B1/B2) which can be used to
place the module at any desired posion within the bus by using patch cables. .

Please noce:
If the rst and last module of the bus are not terminated with the terminaon
jumpers the distoron of the signal might lead to errors in the data transmission.
If the terminaon jumper is ed on a module within the bus the transmission
might be disrupted. Both cases will not lead to any damage of the modules.
In the previous gure, the module is placed within the BiDiBus. Therefore, no termina-
on jumper ( X terminaon) needs to be ed on the ReadyServoTurn. (For further
informaon on the subject of terminaon of the BiDiBus, please refer to chapter “08.
Background knowledge” on page 32.) A BiDiB-IF2 is shown as symbolic interface for
any type (e.g. GBM Master / GBMboost Master)..
In the following gure, the ReadyServoTurn was placed as the last module of the
BiDiBus. In this case, the two terminang jumpers for the BiDiB and DCC terminaon
must be ed on the module.

04.3 Connecng a servo
Four servo motors can be connected
to the ReadyServoTurn for isolated
applicaons, but also in combinaon
with the relay outputs and the inputs
of the module.
Switch o servos aer movement:
The servos can be de-energised aer
the switching process. This oponal seng
avoids a possible servo hum. This seng can
be acvated individually for each servo in
the “Servo ports” secon.
Please noce:
It is recommended to keep the cable length between the module and the servo
short for safe operaon. Cable lengths exceeding 2 metres should always be
avoided.
In the FichtelBahn-Shop you will nd a 50cm servo cable extension with the arcle
no. 000830.

Wiring length:
The servo motors are controlled with a PWM signal that can interfere with other
consumers if the cables are long. Long cable lengths also lead to signal distorons that
can be noced by a twitching servo.
Moon prole
The module has 4 dierent moon proles
to choose from, which can be selected for
each movement direcon and for each servo in the sengs of the “Servo ports”.
There is a “so movement” for turnout drives and “rocking or kickback” for signals or
level crossings.

04.3.1 Servo protecon mechanisms
The ReadyServoTurn is designed for operaonal safety
with monitoring funcons.
Each servo output has overcurrent and short-circuit
detecon, which switches o the aected servo output
in the event of a fault. The remaining servo outputs can
sll be used.
The error status (shut-o of a servo output) is signalled
by a stac red error LED on the module.
If a new servo control command is issued for the defecve
output, the control programme receives a message via the ac-
cessory feedback that the servo output could not be switched
and therefore the route is not locked.
The shut-o and error message can only be reset with a
power reset of the ReadyServoTurn.
Which servo is suitable - digital or analogue?
One major dierence is that a digital servo can move to its posion faster and hold the
posion more accurately. An analogue servo uses an ohmic potenometer that loses
its repeon accuracy with temperature chages (tolerance).
Both types of servo can be connected to the ReadyServoTurn.
In the case of an eect, the advantage of the digital servo might make a dierence. For
a turnout or other movements with a mechanical posioning spring and strain relief,
the tolerance is unimportant. Here a large travel distance should be chosen and servos
with metal gears should be used. In the FichtelBahn-Shop you will nd a reliable and
inexpensive soluon with the arcle no. 410100

on the BiDiBus. The current version BiDiB-Wizard 2 is available for free download in
our BiDiB-Wiki at hps://wiki.chtelbahn.de (in the overview tree under „Programme für BiDiB“
/ „BiDiB-Wizard“).
The BiDiB interface (BiDiB-IF2 or GBMboost Master) is connected to the computer
through a virtual serial port (USB). To establish a connecon the correct serial port (3.)
has to be selected under Edit (1.)/ Preferences (2.). In the drop down menu the cor-
rect Serial port has to be selected.
05.1 Establishing a connecon to the BiDiBus
Please noce:
Only one program can access an acve serial port simultaneously. If the railway controlling program is
using the serial port this connecon has to be terminated before the BiDiB-Wizard can make use of the
serial port.
Please noce:
The new automated BiDiB node congurator for this ReadyLine module is only available with the new
BiDiB Wizard 2 version.
The Wizard version 1 is also compable with this module, but only the classical macro programming is
available.
When using a BiDiB-
Ethernet
interface, e.g. IFnet,
you will need the
IP address of your
interface.

05.2 Node Congurator
The node congurator is available for
simple applicaons, with the help of
which the module is automacally
congured.
Clicking on Acons / BiDiB Node Con-
gurator opens a wizard that guides
you through all sengs and queries.
In the following window you can
choose between the four main cat-
egories.
A detailed funconal descripon with a potenal
connecon diagram is described at the end of
this chapter.

05.2.2 Servo sengs
The following sengs for servo 0 are examplary for all 4 servo motors.
The window is part of the wizard, but can also be displayed at any me via the “Servo
ports” tab.
Seng Explanaon
Servo name Field for entering a user-dened name
Speed Denion of the servo’s orbital speed
Trim value boom and top Denion of the working range of the rotary movement (down = 0% / up = 100%).
Key commands: down = arrow right and le / up = CTRL + arrow right and le)

Servo power o The servo is de-energised aer reaching the end posion.
This funcon prevents servo hum, but the servo loses its holding force.
Adjust desnaon value The 0% / 100% buons and the slider can be used to test the servo sengs.
Clicking on “Apply” is necessary for the seng to be applied!
Changes to the sengs are made locally and are not
yet saved on the module. These changes are only saved
on the module with a click on “Apply”. The “Desna-
on value” funcon test can only demonstrate the new
changes if they have been saved beforehand. The last
saved values can be read with “Revert”.

05.3 Manual Conguraon
In addion to the predened conguraons provided by the node congurator, you
can also create your own conguraons and sequences using the macros and acces-
sories.
Please noce:
With the manual conguraon even conguraons created by the Node
Congurator can be amended.
Correlaon of output, input, macros and ac-
cessories:
The specic parameters of the outputs and
inputs can be dened in the hardware sengs
(servo, switching outputs and inputs).
These ports are linked in the macros as se-
quences and thus result in the desired eect,
movement sequence or switching process.
A macro describes the sequence of an ac-
cessory aspect: e.g. servo movement from
turnout posion “straight” to turnout posion
“diverging”.
Accessories
Makro Makro
Servo Relais Input
Example:
A turnout with two aspects has 2 macros. A signal with seven aspects has 7 individual
macros.
The top level accessory is the linking element and creates the link between aspects
and an acon. This link is called an accessory and can be controlled by the control
program.
In the following chapters, the individual windows (Ports, Macro and Accessory) are
explained in more detail, with the example applicaon “Servo, Relay and Feedback”
from the Node Congurator. For other applicaons, individual steps can be omied or
congured dierently.
