==== Introduction ==== | ==== Introduction ==== | ||
- | When first introduced, | + | CBUS is a Layout Control System |
- | + | cbus.php and cbus2.php | |
- | + | ||
- | The intention was to develop a system for comprehensive layout control | + | |
- | + | ||
- | So what are the functions of a layout control | + | |
- | - Control of devices (outputs) | + | |
- | - Detection of ‘states’ (inputs) | + | |
- | Examples of (1) are changing turnouts (points), signals, power to block sections, turntables, level crossing gates, layout lighting, setting routes, controlling the speed and direction of locomotives (by DCC or analogue DC) and any other electrical or electro-mechanical devices that may be on a layout. | + | |
- | Examples of (2) are control panel switches, block occupancy detectors, bar code or RFID readers, turnout direction sensors, turntable position and ‘RailCom’™ track detectors. | + | |

- | At the basic level, we wanted | + | |

- | So far, CBUS has been referred to as a ‘system’. The CBUS system can be regarded in two parts. | + | |
- | - The hardware | + | |
- | - The messages | + | |
- | The two are not completely independent as the style and frequency of the messages is determined by the hardware capability. However, they will be described | + | |
