Hi Chris.

Can you tell us more about your configuration?

Did you program the Uhlenbrock feedback modules correctly? The 63320 need different addresses for each module (LNCV0).
Does the first module have LNCV1 = 1 and the second module LNCV1=9 and the third module LNCV1=17 (and so on)?

Thank you.

Guy

Hi,
Did you check when  feed back adress in the track diagram editor that you set thes to permanent cotact  not to temporary?

Hi Chris.

Another question, how many modules do you have connected to the Loconet ??

Uhlenbrock recommends not to connect more than 6 modules in a straight line.

best regards,
Guy

Hi Guy

Thanks for your reply. I have 17 Uhlenbrock modules and 6 Digirails.
I am not sure what you mean re setting permanant or temporayy.

Thanks Chris

Hi Chris.

I had a similar problem. I had to rewire the Loconet like the attached picture. This is also recommended by Uhlenbrock technicians.

Another issue is the power consumption of the Loconet modules. Each 63320 consumes 30mA. The Loconet-T connection delivers 500 mA and the Loconet-B delivers 200 mA. So on the T-connection you can have a maximum of 16 modules. Uhlenbrock has Loconet power supply so that you can add more modules to the Loconet network.

best regards, Guy
