Cruise Commander TM

Overview:
The patented (#7,132,807) Cruise Commander M with SMS* Technology^tm is a breakthrough cruise control technology, unprecedented in 3-rail "O" Gauge. With the Cruise Commander M you get ultra-slow, constant speed, operation of your locos without complicated installations. Imagine how many locos that do not have flywheels that can now have cruise functionality!

The Cruise Commander M replaces the Lionel modular motor driver (DCDR), is plug compatible, and a minimal install only requires the addition of a single wire to the serial data for operation.

While in operation, velocity information is monitored from the motor directly. If dual-motored, each motor is balanced to the other, synchronizing the motors for smooth operation. By using high current HEXFET drivers and operating at 20khz PWM on the motors, silent motor operation is attained. Additionally, lash-ups are possible when the locos are matched using the exclusive "nudge" feature.

Cool Features:

Simple Tach-Less installation and operation

High Frequency (20khz) PWM for silent drive

DC motor capability (6 Amps)

Operates in command and conventional modes

CAB-1^tm selectable 32 or 100(default) speed steps

Serial data out for configuration acknowledgement

Directly drives LED's lighting without complex "load" resistor wiring

LED's lighting features include markers and oscillating ditch lamps

On-board micro-controller provides future enhancement capabilities

Uses R2LC (not included) to be fully compliant with TMCC standards
