TIU HELP NEEDED

John,

Did you neglect to add the second TIU (#2) to your DCS Remote? If so, do so as follows:

Menu/System/TIU Setup/Add TIU, select TIU #2 and press the thumbwheel.

This and a whole lot more is all in “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition!" This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at OGR’s web store!

Barry I believe I did,  I will go down to the man cave and check it now and get back.

John

The TIU's where all given a number that differed from the last, the TIU's are #2, 4, and 5. presently. I did like you said however when I get to add TIU in the TIU setup section it will only let me add #1. also when I do a read it will only find #2.   Sorry if I did not explain it more clearly, they sent a camera inside me today and I am still a bit groggy.

Back to the basics....We have to find out the TIU  (IDs)numbers by counting the red led blinks on power up.. Unfortunate dcs will allow us to Willie Nellie add tiu even  if they don't exist... You may have to edit  delete reset or add . But we need to know the blinks on each tiu to find out exactly where you're  at.

WE know you definitely have a 2 blinker  TIU #2  and it's found. That's good. I smell another super mode runner in the future.

Greg thank you, The TIU's are blinking correctly, #2 gets two blinks, I get 4 blinks on 4 and 5 on 5. that's all good.

the last time I reset them was last night and I did the following.

I deleted all of them.

I then reset all of them.

I then added all of them and gave each one its own number not using the one the TIU # the TIU had prior.

I just checked, it will not let me super them up, it is only seeing one TIU #2

Yes they will all be in super modes.

All 300+ running feet of that 3rail heaven.

If TIU #4 and TIU #5 have been added to the DCS remote I can't figure out why the" read "is not finding them.

Just for fun,,,, Don't delete anything but what's available to delete under the tIU set up menu?   Should be tiu 2, 4 & 5. Right?

Gregg, I will go down and check. I have one and three TIU's available to delete.

I did as asked and wha laa, it works! I took it one step more and disconnected the 3rd line I hooked up yesterday. It all works great.  Now tomorrow I need to check out the third line and see what gives.

Thank you very Much Barry and Greg.

As they say in South Philly. " youo guzs are da best!

John if you have a TIU as #1 set  put a program track on that TIU and turn on all the TIU's and set them to Super TIU then turn all off but TIU#1on a program track have it unhook from the rest of the layout ,it help's if none of the layout track is on just that program track ,put your engine's in your remote one at time on that TIU it take time but I had the same thing happen to my layout ,it has about 2000 Ft. track and I have 2 TIU , then the engine's will be see on the other TIU's , what happens if you don't have it in super TIU when you program your engine say on TIU #2 then TIU# 3 will not see it but it will run fine on#2 but not on #3 , if you get one of your TIU's on #1 this will help and have the program track on that TIU.
