The LoDi System

Digital control for your model railway

Network-based, modular and future-proof – developed and manufactured in Germany.

The LoDi bus system

Three jobs, three interfaces on the network — each with its own bus and the modules that do the work. If you would rather not run a second bus under the layout, you switch over the track signal instead.

Driving

The LoDi-Rektor makes the track signal and drives the boosters over the LoDi bus, so a layout can be split into sections without replacing the command station.

The system runs gauge Z to G — the difference is power alone. How many boosters you need follows from the number of separate power districts, not from floor area.

Switching SC system

The LoDi-Shift-Commander sits on the network and the Operator modules are daisy-chained with patch cables — up to 480 switching channels on one Shift-Commander, with no load on the track signal.

Detection

The LoDi-S88-Commander LX is the network interface; the detectors hang off the s88 or S88.2 bus and deliver occupancy and RailCom data to the control software.

Switching DCC

These decoders need no interface: they sit directly on the track signal and work with any DCC command station, including one from another maker.

The hand controller

LoDi-Con: the whole layout in one hand

Running, switching and feedback on one touch display, the speed on a tactile rotary dial. The LoDi-Con connects over Wi-Fi to the LoDi system – and to command stations from other makers too.

  • Wi-Fi instead of a cable: move freely around the layout
  • Touch display for locomotives, points and signals
  • Detented rotary dial for the speed
  • Battery for about ten hours of running
