Incorporating DCS on a large layout?

Contact me off-list. I have an idea that might work for you.

Maybe start with one loop. Hook it up and see what happens.  You should be able to get a decent track signal If you take advantage of the TIU's  4 signal generators . It's also much easier if it's a strictly  command  loop. I can't see a problem with your equipment you have. 

PS hook up a block . test the track signal if good add another block...You may not need to use all  tiu channels..

Good luck & have fun.

When I got DCS, I merely inserted the TIU red circuits into the lines from transformer to the various sections of the control pane--in other words moved wires from transformer posts to TIU output posts and ran wires from transformer posts to the TIU red input posts.  I connected the 4 black outputs together and connected them to the layout ground buss.  Connected nothing to black TIU inputs.  Been working essentially like that for past 15+ years

I had that question also with a bigger layout. I have 2 TIU's.  I have 100 watt z1000's.  4.  Ive typically just hooked 1 brick per channel.  But I guess with bigger layouts you need more power.  I have run wires from realtrax lockons. Like 3 lockons on one loop.  Run them to the TIU output.  so power is split up around the layout.  seems to work.     I have not designed my permanent one yet, so not sure what the needs will be.
