TIU Not found in system

Some additional information, if it helps.  My TIU has a sticker on the back that reads "REV. 13" and I'm trying to use Loader Program V 2.3.4.

WB,

Proto-dispatch to Proto-cast via mini plugs

This must be a stereo, not a mono, cable.

when you cycle power how many times the the red led inside the TIU blink?It should blink ounce.

Alan,

when you cycle power how many times the the red led inside the TIU blink?It should blink ounce.

That's completely irrelevant.

The TIU's DCS ID# has absolutely nothing to do with the PC's ability to find it for upgrading its software.

WB,

One other thing.

Make absolutely certain that the TIU is powered off when the cable is inserted between the ProtoDispatch and ProtoCast ports.

With the cable in place, the TI should not blink at all when power is applied.

When the TIU upgrade is completed, remove the cable, and then power the TIU off and then on again before doing the DCS Remote upgrade.

Thanks for all the help.  System is now upgraded to 4.3.  All engines except one are working normal.  It seems that my PS 3.0 isn't being recognized.  All I have is a simple loop of O-54 curves, but when I apply power, the PS3 engine (sd70) starts up, and sits there.  I tried the "read" button, but it says "no dcs engines available" (and it's the only engine on the track.  It is listed in my Remote, but I cannot access it ("engine not on track")

Sounds like an engine issue.  G

Folks, after many times trying to get this ps3 running, I called MTH service (which is something I should have first done).  I got the engine running, but it was a stupid fix.  I didn't realize that the early PS3 locos had a switch located in the fan area where the Smoke and Volume pots are.  It can be either set for DCC or DCS.  Two guesses where it was set to.  The tech from MTH said that they no longer have those switches on the locos, but I'm just mentioning it in case someone else comes across this problem.
