Topic 0305001 - Medium Plug Enhancement

Roco has several different proposals to expand the Medium connector in locomotives to support more functions.

S-Helper Service has also enhanced the medium plug, which needs to be investigated.

• A counter-proposal was discussed to include a function interface (ala SUSI)
• More information is needed about pin assignments
• A suggestion was made to use a second connector for functions
• A further suggestion was made to use a JST connector for additional functions (not the 9-pin in current use), and that this connector should include a serial interface

July 2004

Reinhard Muller has taken over coordination of this, and will work with the various manufacturers to come up with useful recommendations.
