Common Features of All CTC Control Modules

Property Description
Input voltage approx. 9 V to 24 V DC, digital current - (AC only with auxiliary capacitor)
Interfaces CTC-IR-balise

Starting from February 2025, we will include a TVS diode with all CTC control modules. See the “Overvoltage Protection” section on the “Power Supply and Router” page for more information.

Overview CTC Control Modules (from 40,- EUR)

For switching turnouts, signals, light, etc., the following CTC modules are available:

Notes:

  • Operating CTC modules on alternating current (AC) or unsmoothed direct current without an additional capacitor will cause irreparable damage to the CTC module.
  • Switch outputs are differentiated by whether they switch the ground or minus (LowSide) or the plus pole (HighSide). Especially with LED boards, there is often a common line for one pole. It is then important whether the switch outputs of the module are designed as High or LowSide.
  • A half bridge can be switched between the plus and minus poles, but is never switched off. In particular, so-called magnetic items (e.g., classic turnout drive) can be permanently damaged if the half-bridge is incorrectly configured and should therefore not be connected to a half-bridge.
  • An additional power supply module is required for servos.
