Currently the LCS wiring is in/out of each component.  Is the communication of the Bus such that you could produce a board that say had 5-6 junctions?  So you could do 1 in and go out to 5 more points, or will it always have to be a complete serial string???   JonZ/Railsounds?

 

If the above wiring is possible, anyone else think this would be a useful product?

 

I currently had to use a 2nd Serial box to just act as a junction with no actual use at the moment.  I do have some older ASC boxes I may hook up to it eventually.

So no chance for a LCS Hub.  Ok - just makes cabling routing on a semi-large layout more challenging as you have to run all the way back from the far ends.

 

I'm guessing you'd have to do some buffering isolation like a USB hub does, would make the cost higher if you could design such a beast.

 

More expensive cables sold!

 

Still nice to see expanded capabilities to the system.

Wouldn't only the sensor tracks be the pain?

 

The others could be centrally located with the appropriate wiring (Cat 5 or phone cable or heavy wires for BPC2) going out to the device.

 

I have been wrestling with the configuration trying to see how LCS could be applied to modular.

 

GRJ, so, is it a DB9 cable that you would be building?

All of this depends on the layout.  Some folks would rather run 1 PDI cable to an area that then could connect to a ASC2, a BOC2 and a sensor track and keep all the wiring to a minimum.
