Need some help. I have a question on wiring a dz-2500 z-stuff switch machine for tmcc. I have a cab2 and my data wire is connected to my common output. My question is that is says to connect the blue wire on the switch machine to the Data Wire. Can I just connect to common? or do I need connect wire back to the tmcc driver on the cab2? Hope this makes sense.

Thanks Matt

I believe you may have issues connecting directly to the serial data output. I'd suggest the DZ-2001 data driver, that's how I control mine. I have 25 switch machines running off the one data driver.

No

Blue Wire is the Data wire from the DZ-2500C. It connects to the

Data Line Driver

This is the O-Scale Data Line Driver by Z-Stuff for Trains.

Do not try to buy this direct, it takes forever to get stuff direct from Z-Stuff. I recommend the link I provided if you want it this year.

Thank you for the guidance! Got everything working. Tmcc and non- derailing working great. This was my first switch machine.
