Hi @vikr,
Yes that would be nice, although I expect it to work with Traintastic, I’ve a DigiKeijs DR5088RC (16+1 input LocoNet RailCom detector), the DR5088RC was also designed by Karst Drenth, so the YD6016LN-RC most likely is an improved version of the DR5008RC.
That won’t work, the limit here is LocoNet, for standard RailCom the LocoNet OPC_MULTI_SENSE message is used, it can only carry an loco address and a detector address. The DR5088RC and YD6016LN-RC have an option to use the highest bit of the loco address or detector address as direction indication. Traintastic supports both. Alternative is the unofficial OPC_MULTI_SENSE_LONG message (also supported by Traintastic) that can be enabled on the DR5088RC and YD6016LN-RC, this message can carry more RailCom data, e.g. quality of service and some other.
For the ECoS these can’t be used, the ECoS LocoNet modules doesn’t forward OPC_MULTI_SENSE to the ECoS, only normal detectors OPC_INPUT_REP work, I’ve tested that about two year ago. (Might be added, but I think ESU prefers to sell their own RailCom detectors.)
Greetings,
Reinder
