BusContro l
A BusControl distributor is needed, if you want to connect ore than one non-central control unit
to the EasyNet. One BusControl is capable of connecting a axi u of 9 control units. Further
external devices need additional BusControls.

DCC programming track
To read the configuration of a loco otive or function decoder or progra ing those, they have to
be put on a progra ing track. Every co on rail can be used for that.

Driving booster
The driving booster a plifies all control instructions sent by the MasterControl. As the
MasterControl does not have it’s own booster, at least one external ust be connected to it.
Additional boosters beco e necessary, if your overall power de and exceeds the capacity of one
booster. Every Märklin**-co patible booster or booster for the DCC syste can be used.
The MasterControl sends the following signal through the booster interface:
An output signal to switch on or off the booster. This signal is used to switch on or off
Märklin**-co patible boosters.
An output signal to control the decoder. This track signal includes all data to control the
decoders.
An input signal to receive a short circuit warning. If the booster recognizes a short circuit (too
high pow er consu ption), it calls the MasterControl. The MasterControl then switches off the
booster and displays a warning.
9
Breaking istance booster
Through the output of the breaking distance booster all breaking distances on your layout can be
controlled. Every Märklin**-co patible booster or booster for the DCC syste can be used as
breaking distance booster.
As soon as one of the loco otives enters a breaking distance, the booster receives a stop signal,
no atter which speed was set. All other data such as the status of the decoder functions and the
driving direction are still sent by the central unit.

S88 mo ules
S88 feedback devices or s88-co patible odules recognize the current status of pins connected
to their inputs. They sub it this infor ation to the next odule or the MasterControl using the
s88 bus on the principle of bucked-brigade-devices.
One EasyNet supports up to 32 s88 feedback devices or s88-co patible odules. Other
anufacturer’s odules can be integrated.

PC
Your MasterControl can be connected to your PC using its USB or it’s serial interface. Every
software, which supports the Märklin** 6050 or P50X protocol is able to control your
MasterControl. A list of control software which can ake use of all features of the EasyControl can
be found on our website. You are also welco e to call our hotline for further infor ation.
