Dual 3-Way Servo DCC Accessory Decoder

for semaphores and 3-way stub switches.




Features
  • Control two servos independently with 3 positions each
  • Speed Controllable from very slow to very fast
  • Drive circuitry for external LED indicators - common anode OR common cathode
  • Inputs for momentary pushbuttons
  • Bounce Simulation - blades bounce at end of throw
  • Variable Bounce Amplitude
  • DCC accessory decoder built in (can be used with JMRI PanelPro)
  • Anti-backlash for stub switch center position ensures accurate positioning each time
  • Time-delay option - simulates a signal system by turning from red to yellow to green with a time delay.
  • Can be used with most signaling systems such as CMRI or Logicrailtech

(Note: not for 3-way turnouts, more properly known as lap turnouts, which are actually two overlapping but independent turnouts.  For those use two servos driven by singlets or half of a quad.)

Dual 3-way II

The dual 3-way can be used to control 2 servos with 3 positions each.  Typical uses are semaphores and 3-way stub switches.  Comes with 2 I/O connectors that are used to connect to your signal system and/or indicator LEDs (or just use DCC).

Video of the Dual 3-Way on my Donner Summit layout being used to run a lower-quadrant semaphore.
Here are some shots of the coming Dual 3-Way Servo Driver being used to drive a Tomar upper-quadrant semaphore.  The action is controlled by a Logic Rail Tech Signal Animator both of which can be purchased here.



Dual 3-way In Action

Here is a photo sequence showing the Dual 3-Way driving a 3-way stub switch.  Thanks to Jason Reis for building the switch for me.  The Hex Frog Juicer would be the ideal way to power the 3 frogs.
