SRC162 - Switch&Route Controller
The SRC162 is a DCC accessory decoder that has 16 inputs and 16 outputs. The standard input configuration is for connecting of eight (8) pair of push buttons for switch (turnout) control. The standard output configuration is for connecting eight (8) pair of LEDs for switch (turnout) status indication or eight (8) Tortoise™ switch machines. With the addition of Team Digital MotoDs it can control up to 16 Tortoise™ switch machines.
MotoD and Cable Connector Kit sold separately.

Features differences from SRC16:
Operation:
The SRC162 has 16 inputs and outputs which can each have a unique address. By assigning the same address to a pair of inputs and outputs, called a group (classic SRC mode), the SRC162 can control eight turnouts (switches) or display the state (closed or thrown) of eight turnouts. Activating an input (close or throw) sends a turnout command (messages) that correspond to it’s address over the serial bus. Any device connected to the bus can receive the command. The SRC162 monitors the bus for commands from all sources, including those from itself (sent by inputs). The SRC162 does not require a serial bus connection to operate. When the SRC162 receives a turnout command with an address that matches a group’s address, that output (closed or thrown) is activated. LEDs or Tortoise™ motors can be connected to the outputs.
Since the SRC162 is a accessory decoder, it can be controlled via DCC commands. It can also be controlled via the serial bus (LocoNet® compatible). A DCC gateway feature allows DCC switch or accessory commands to be passed directly to the serial bus. This allows DCC switch commands to control devices connected to this serial bus. Other devices (SRC162s or SIC24ADs for example) connected to this “accessory” serial bus can communicate with each other. This can provide several advantages for a DCC system.
Configuration Variables (CVs):
The SRC162 supports Paged Mode Programming in Service Mode and Operations Mode (Programming on the Main).
Smart Programming:
“Smart” programming is a term used to describe an easy way to program Configuration Variables (CVs). The throttle is used to issue switch or accessory commands just like controlling switches (turnouts).
Compatibility:
The SRC162 is not fully compatible with the Atlas, Backmann or MRC (except Prodigy Advance) DCC systems because they do not support accessory commands or can not program the number of CVs in the SRC162.
