|
<p>In short, DCC is Digital Command Control, a system for operating model railroads in a more
|
|
prototypical manner. Each locomotive contains a tiny, specialized controller. These
|
|
controllers (DCC decoders) accept digital commands over a network (the rails) addressed to
|
|
them and interprets them to control the locomotive's speed, direction, lighting effects,
|
|
sound, and other functions. Each decoder responds only to those commands addressed to it. Not
|
|
every decoder will have functions beyond basic throttle commands available. Although there
|
|
are NMRA® standards for the format of communication (allowing the decoders from different
|
|
manufacturers to work on the same railroad), beyond that there is considerable variety in the
|
|
functions supported and the implementation of those functions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Although this Manual deals with just OperationsPro, the JMRI® suite of applications also
|
|
contains software to program and run DCC equipped locomotives, turnouts and signals.</p>
