MODEL TRAIN CONTROLLER.pptx
- 2. console power supply rcvr motor ECC address header command
- 3. Console can control 8 trains on 1 track. Throttle has at least 63 levels. Inertia control adjusts responsiveness with at least 8 levels. Emergency stop button. Error detection scheme on messages.
- 4. name model train controller purpose control speed of <= 8 model trains inputs throttle, inertia, emergency stop, train # outputs train control signals functions set engine speed w. inertia; emergency stop performance can update train speed at least 10 times/sec manufacturing cost $50 power wall powered physical size/weight console comfortable for 2 hands; < 2 lbs.
- 5. The Digital Command Control (DCC) standard was created by the National Model Railroad Association to support interoperable digitally-controlled model trains. Digital Command Control specifies some important aspects of the system, particularly those that allow equipment to interoperate. We need to round out our specification with details that complement the DCC spec. A conceptual specification allows us to understand the system a little better. We will use the experience gained by writing the conceptual specification to help us write a detailed specification to be given to a system architect.

- 10. Console: read state of front panel. format messages. transmit messages. Train Receiver: receive message. interpret message. control the train.

- 12. Panel: describes analog knobs and hardware to interface to the digital parts of the system. Knobs: describes the actual analog knobs, buttons and levers on the control panel. Formatter: turns knob settings into bit streams for the required message. Transmitter: to sends the message along the track.

- 14. Receiver: receive the digitizes signal from detector. Detector: detects analog signals on the track and converts them into digital form. Controller: interprets received commands and makes decisions how to control the motor. Motor interface: how to generate the analog signals required to control the motor. Pulser: turns digital commands into the analog signals required to control the motor speed.
