Common Features of All CTC Switching Modules
| Property | Description |
| Input Voltage | approx. 9 V to 24 V DC, digital current - (AC only with smoothing capacitor) |
| Interfaces | CTC-IR-Balise |
From February 2025, we will include a TVS diode with all CTC switching modules. See the section "Overvoltage Protection" on the page "Power Supply and Router" .
Overview of CTC Switching Modules (from 40,- EUR)
For switching turnouts, signals, lights, etc., the following CTC modules are available:
| CTC-Turnout-Module | Optimized for | Dimensions | Switching Outputs | Servos | Sensor Inputs | IR-Balises | Max. Current Sum |
| CTC-Turnout-Module | Solenoid-driven, Märklin C-Track | 68 x 26 mm | 4x 0,5 A Lowside | - | - | 2 | 2 A |
| CTC-Turnout-Module-G | Garden railway, motor drive | 53 x 31 mm | 4x 2 A Half-Bridge | 2 | 4 | 2 | 3 A |
| CTC-Multi-I/O-Board | Solenoid-driven, servos | 74 x 46 mm | 8x 0,5 A Lowside | 2 | 4 | 2 | 2 A |
Notes:
- Operating CTC modules with alternating current (AC) or unfiltered direct current without an additional capacitor will cause irreparable damage to the CTC module.
- Switching outputs are differentiated by whether they switch ground or negative (LowSide) or the positive pole (HighSide). Especially for LED boards, one pole often has a common line. It is important to know whether the switching outputs of the module are designed as HighSide or LowSide.
- A half-bridge can switch between positive and negative poles but is never switched off. Especially classic solenoid-driven turnouts (e.g., Märklin) can suffer permanent damage if the half-bridge is configured incorrectly and should therefore not be connected to a half-bridge.
- For servos, an additional power supply module is required.
