The exact product designation is tams elektronik 40-03067-01 mc² digital central unit Master Control 2 - Silver Edition, Version V2-9. The digital central unit supports the digital formats Motorola-I and Motorola-II, DCC according to NMRA and RCN standard as well as m3 for controlling mfx decoders. Feedback via m3 is not included according to the information provided.

For the vehicle decoder addresses, 255 addresses from 1 to 255 are available in Motorola format. In DCC format, 10,239 addresses from 1 to 10,239 are possible. For m3, 16,384 vehicle decoder addresses are specified. This means that the command station offers a very broad address base for operating different vehicles in the digital model railroad sector.

Speed levels, functions and accessory decoders

The digital central unit is also versatile in terms of speed levels. Motorola supports 14 or 27 speed levels in variants a or b. DCC offers 14, 28 or 128 speed levels. With m3, 128 speed levels are available. This means that vehicles can be controlled appropriately depending on the digital format used.

With Motorola, the function control includes function and f1 to f4. In the DCC range, f0 to f31 or f32.768 are specified. In m3 format, f0 and f1 to f14 are available. For accessory decoders, the central unit offers 1,020 addresses from 1 to 1,020 in Motorola format and 2,040 addresses from 1 to 2,040 in DCC format.

Feedback, RailCom and DCC-A

The feedback formats include RailCom with an integrated global RailCom detector. The RailCom cutout on the integrated booster can be switched off. The control center also supports DCC-A. DCC-A enables the automatic registration of DCC vehicle decoders with the central unit.

In the information provided, DCC-A is described as an extension of the DCC format, which was available as a draft standard from the RailCommunity in November 2020 and is expected to be adopted in 2021. This information is adopted here unchanged from the information provided.

Connection options and interfaces

Several interfaces are available for connecting external feedback devices or external control units. These include Märklin CAN bus via Mini-Din 10-pin, LocoNet via RJ 12, EasyNet via RJ 45, XpressNet via RJ 12 and rec or "Sniffer" via a 2-pin connection. When connecting external feedback devices, RM 2.54 mm is also specified.

LAN via RJ 45 is available as a computer interface. Other interfaces include power supply, main track and DCC programming track. An external booster, either Märklin-compatible or DCC-compliant, BiDiB via RJ 45 and s88 feedback modules via RJ 45 in accordance with the s88-N standard are also specified. The maximum number is 64 s88 or s88-compatible modules with a total of 1,024 contacts.

Power supply and booster specifications

A 24 V / 6.67 A / 160 W switching power supply is included in the scope of delivery. This is used to supply the central unit and the tracks in the booster section of the integrated booster. The product specifications also state an integrated 9 A booster.

The following technical booster values are also specified: Maximum output current 6.5 A, short-circuit sensitivity from 1 to 6.5 A adjustable in steps of 0.5 A, output voltage from 8 to 22 V digital voltage, regulated and adjustable in steps of 1 V. The output signal is symmetrical.
