NCE Cab Bus Hardware
Let's start by defining the NCE Cab Bus: The NCE Cab bus connects NCE Command Control hardware items to the NCE Command Station.
These items allow you [or computer software] to issue DCC commands to mobile and accessory decoders on your layout.
NCE Command Control hardware includes:
- CS02 and PH Box Command Stations
- Pro Cab Throttles
- Utility Cab throttles such as the Cab06 series
- AIU [Auxiliary Input Unit], cab bus device
- Mini-Panel, cab bus device
- USB, cab bus device
- RB02
- UTP Panels
- Modular cables with RJ-11 plugs
The number of Command Control throttles and cab bus devices with their respective address depends upon which Command Station you are using.
The Power Cab:
- Address 2 is used by the Power Cab
- Addresses 3, 4, 5 are for throttles or cab bus devices
- Addresses 6,7 are reserved
- Addresses 8,9, 10 are for cab bus devices only [AIU, mini panel, USB]
The SB5:
- Addresses 2-7 are for throttles or cab bus devices
- Addresses 8,9, 10 are for cab bus for devices only [AIU, mini panel, USB]
PH Box/ CS02 PH-Pro Command Stations:
- Addresses 2-63 can be used for throttles or cab bus devices
Additional considerations for wireless radio throttle cabs and the RB02:
- Pro Cab-R throttle [radio wireless] must use a cab address from 2-17 due to the Pro Cab's extended display requirements
- All other wireless cab throttles, such as the Cab06 series, can use any cab address from 2–49
- It is a good idea to use the upper numbers [18 - 49] for items other than radio Pro Cabs to keep the lower numbers [2-17] open for wireless Pro Cabs
