Product Overview

Team Digital products provide a variety of functions for your Digital Command Control (DCC) model railroad. You can remotely control turnouts (switches), detect the presents of a train and control signals and crossing gates. There are two general categories. One is a DCC accessory decoder sometimes called a stationary decoder. It receives it's instructions from the DCC signal that is present on the track rails. It may or may not be powered from the track. Another is not a DCC accessory decoder because it can not be controlled via the DCC track signal. However, it requires a DCC system for operation and programming.

A switch (turnout) machine is an electromechanical device that moves a lever or arm when a voltage is applied. They are used to remotely control switches (turnouts). Some machines like a twin coil solenoid require more power than other types like a stall motor.

Several of Team Digital products are programable. Programability provides for enhanced features and customized operation. “Smart” programming is a term used to describe a method to program Configuration Variables (CVs). CVs provide the means for customized operation. This method is a much easier way to program CVs. Team Digital products that are programable are ready to use right out of the box.
