8Wiring the outputsb)a)c)R8.5 Wiring the outputs8.5.1. Connecting double-coil solenoidsYou may use all commercially available double-coil solenoid drivesby all major manufacturers with SwitchPilot. Figure 4 shows howto wire output 1:a) The common wire of the solenoid is wired to screwterminal C.b) The wire leading to the first coil is connected to terminal OutA.c) The wire leading to the second coil is connected to terminalOut B.Figure 4: Wiring the transistor outputs 1 - 4Should the aspect shown on your control panel not be as desired(in other words: if straight and diverging route are exchanged)simply swapp the wires between terminals Out A and Out B.SwitchPilot can also handle Peco turnouts. However, their currentconsumption is so high that you must adjust the overload settingof the SwitchPilot. Please refer to chapter 9.4.2 for details.
8.5.2. Wiring daylight signals and light bulbs or LEDsIf you use daylight signals with incandescent lamps (light bulbs)or LEDs you must set the corresponding output to continuousmode.If the signal has incandescent lamps as shown for output 2 infigure 4 you may wire the lamps directly to the terminals of theSwitchPilot.In order to limit the current for signals with LEDs a resistor mustbe wired in series with the LEDs. This is shown for output 4 infigure 4.Please check if your signal already has a built-in resistor. Applyingpower without this resistor will destroy the LEDs immediately!If there is no resistor in place you must wire this resistor marked“R” in series to the LEDs. Subject to the supply voltage and thedesired brightness of the signal the resistor should have a ratingof about 1 kohm to 2.2 kohm.The screw terminal C of each output has positive potential.Therefore the cathode of the LEDs must be connected to theterminals Out A respectively Out B.+ -MU+ GNDPower Supply of Motor(could be separately)Figure 5: Motor drive used with SwitchPilot Extension8.5.3. Wiring a motor driveThe SwitchPilot can operate motor drives for turnouts with theaid of the SwitchPilot Extension. The direction of the motor isreversed by changing the polarity of the voltage on the motorterminals thus changing the position of the turnout or the aspectof a semaphore signal.Only use motor drives with limit stop contacts to avoid overheatingor a burnout of the motor. The relay outputs of the SwitchPilotExtension always connect the supply voltage to the load.A motor drive is wired as shown in figure 5. The two wires forthe power supply of the motor drive should be connected to thescrew terminals as shown. Alternatively, they can be alsoconnected to a separate DC-source and thus do not draw anycurrent from the digital system.Please take note of the permitted maximum supply voltage ofyour motor drive as stated in its manual.a) b)Figure 6: Wiring the feedback contacts9
