The product line includes these main boards:
SignalMan
lets you control trackside signals. The board con-
tains programmable “logic blocks” that perform operations
based on current operational conditions (e.g., IF this occurs OR
that occurs, THEN DO something). Without this internal logic,
you would need to program PC software like JMRI Decoder Pro
to perform the same operations.
You can setup and configure SignalMan for special lighting
effects such as lamp fade, flashing lamps, searchlight red flicker,
or intermediate colors between aspects (see sidebar at the end
of this article for more). This board can drive up to 16 LEDs.
TowerMan
provides a simple and easy way to connect between
a LocoNet® bus and the layout. The TowerMan may be con-
nected at any convenient point on the Simple Serial Bus, and
can be used as a hub to connect to occupancy detectors, switch
