Creating blocks using DR5000 and iTrain 5

If you are looking to have blocks and track detection using the Digikeijs range of equipment, you need to do the following. So the Digital system DR5000 from Digikeijs is designed to give you the ability to connect to your computer and also then also give you track detection. We are are going to use the following items to explain how to do this.

iTrain
DR5000
DR4088LN-CS

Step one how to connect DR5000 to the iTrain. The DR5000 gives you many different ways to connect to iTrain.

USB
Wifi
LAN

We will in this case use USB for our example.

Then select in the drop down list DR5000 USB (LocoNet®)

you can then in the tab connection choose the right comport.

Hi, I’m looking for a simple diagram showing how the DR5000 connects with the boosters and track detection - I’m sure there must be one somewhere, I just can’t find it. Thankyou.

Hello Dave

The above picture does show you what you are asking.
Also here is a download of the manual also explaining this.

Hi Have ITrain running Lenz DCC command station with Lodi block detection. My question is, have 7 block detection units placed around layout numbered 1 through 7. Number 1 has 5 block detection points but required 3 more to complete the loop, used number 7 to detect the remaining 3 sections i.e. 7.1 - 7.2 and 7.3.( other blocks are 1.1-1.2-1.3-1.4 and 1.5)
The Lodi units see the train passing through but ITrain does not see them. Am stuck as to what i am doing wrong can anyone help please.
