-[[http://www.4qdtec.com/trd.html|Dead Link Please Replace]] +An example of mechanical latching would be a push on / push off switch, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latching_switch|see here.]] See also description of a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay#Latching_relay|latching relay.]] (e.g. [[http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/EE2-5NU/399-11056-5-ND/4291122|relay]])\\ 
 +An example of an electronic latch would be [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)|a flip-flop]] or bistable circuit.\\ 
 +A standard relay may be made self latching by supplying a current path for the coil through one of its normally open contact sets.

It is a bi-directional data bus that can send and receive data.  Since it is an NMRA Standard, you are not confined to one manufacturer's products. Any manufacturer can make LCC compatible devices.  +[[:lcb:start&#layout_command_control_lcc|Layout Command Control]] (LCC) s a system for controlling all the functions on your layout that don’t have to do with how fast the locomotive is moving -- things like signals, or sounds, or passenger car lighting.  LCC is NMRANet, just under a different name.  LCC is designed as a separate, generic control bus which is positioned to take the load off your throttle bus.
