Description
The NCE 5240230 Mini Panel puts layout automation at your fingertips — without a computer. Wire simple pushbuttons or switches to its inputs, program each input with a sequence of DCC commands, and a single button press can line an entire yard ladder, set a passing-siding route, trigger accessory decoders, or even run simple locomotive automation sequences.
The Mini Panel plugs into the NCE cab bus and stores your programmed macros/command sequences internally, executing them whenever the corresponding input is triggered. It is the classic solution for fascia route buttons, staging yard control panels, and hands-free display running on NCE-equipped layouts.
Compatibility
- Connects to the NCE cab bus (Power Cab and Power Pro systems)
- Controls any DCC accessory decoders and locomotives on the layout
- Inputs accept simple pushbuttons, toggle switches, or detector contacts
How to Use
- Plug the Mini Panel into the cab bus and program it using an NCE Pro Cab / Power Cab
