2. Possibilities
There are many ways to use the DC-Car system:
Einstieg_in_das_DC-Car-System
Control without DCC adressing
Function decoder This can be use Address of Crossings.
More information Function-modul.
Control with DCC adressing
With Progset´s you can control the DC-Cars like a model railroad.
3. Request
Importent for controlling via a PC is the request:Request-Modul
4. Turn Offs
To turn off of into a new direction, one needs a turn-off.
The simplest solution is with a servo driven turn-off. To control it one needs electronics to operate the servo.
Additional elecctronics, the Category:Function-Modul, DC-Cars get the turn signal instructions as a result of the turn-off being set.
Automatic Turn-offs with TINY
Using feedback sensors on can operate turnoffs from the vehicles themselves.
This works with Servotiny´s in a few turn-offs.
Automatic Turn-offs with Servos and Servo Decoder
Better than electromagnets/coils is using servo turn-offs and servo decoder.
Via the Inputprint on can operate servo decoders via feedback sensors.
The Advantage: By coupling a Servodecoder#S4DCC-Car with a function module one sends turn signal commands to the DC-Car's.
5. Control of Traffic
Traffic control
For Traffic control you can use traffic signals.
This traffic signal decoder can be controlled with DCC addresses via a model railroad DCC capable controller.
So you can control the traffic signals with the PC.
Using Stoptiny or category:Function-Modul stops the DC-Car.
6. Vehicle Conversion
Mechanical Conversion

Electronic Conversion
As a first model, the [DC07-SI-LKW]] or DC07-SI-Bus is recommmended. Also see DC07-SI.
