What you can do
One command station, a complete control room
The integration is available as a finished, fully supported LocoLink connection. The physical interface, network settings, drivers and command-station firmware can still determine how a specific installation is connected.
Operate turnouts and routes
Keep accessories, signals and routes visible instead of recalling addresses during a session.
Program DCC decoders
Use guided and direct CV workflows while NCE remains the command station that creates the DCC track signal.
Build the track plan
Combine the roster and accessory controls with blocks, feedback and a visual layout panel.
Add automation gradually
Start with manual control and add shuttle services, timetables and automatic routes after testing.
Diagnose the connection
Use the correct NCE interface and confirm driver, port and command-station mode before operating.
Connection path
Set up carefully in four steps
