In this short course, we'll show you more about RailCom® and introduce you to the benefits it brings to model railways. 
RailCom® is a communication protocol for model railway systems that allows two-way communication between the digital command station and decoders in locomotives and accessories. It offers numerous possibilities for model railway enthusiasts, including real-time feedback on the status and performance of locomotives, allowing operators to monitor speed, voltage, current draw, and decoder temperature. We will also explain automation using RailCom® and how advanced software can use RailCom® data. We include detail on the protocol and data messaging involved, offering a glimpse beyond simple operation. A lesson on binary principles is included for those needing revision.

With this structured approach, and step-by-step explanations with ample examples, learners are equipped with the knowledge of this advanced subject. Multiple-choice questions are used as a revision aid, for participants to reinforce their understanding of this protocol, all within this self-paced environment.
