NWSL Stanton CAB (S-CAB) radio control Digital Command Control (DCC) system The NWSL S-CAB radio DCC control system was designed for both simplified installation and simplified operation, and even has an optional battery system that can act as a backup if the system senses a lack of track power (dirty track, etc.) Or, you can run your engine completely off battery power and never worry about dirty track again. So...what makes the S-CAB different from the DCC systems already on the market? Glad you asked!First and foremost, the entire system is contained in the handheld unit shown in this newsletter. Traditional DCC systems have a base station (and, optionally, boosters) whereas the S-CAB does not. The entire S-CAB system is built into the handheld CAB (controller.)
Traditional DCC systems require that you re-wire your layout for the electricity it uses to both supply power to the loco and to send DCC signals through the track to the DCC decoder installed in the loco. The S-CAB requires no re-wiring: S-CAB will work with whatever power you already have (DC, DCC, or AC...or battery!) DCC signals are sent directly from the handheld controller to a radio receiver connected to the DCC decoder inside your loco.
Finally, you have the option of installing the S-CAB BPS (Battery Power Supply) in each S-CAB-equipped loco. The BPS sits in the system and makes sure the decoder always has 12V, whether from the track, or if there is no track power due to say dirty track, then it runs entirely off battery power. In fact, if your track is completely unpowered, the S-CAB BPS will simply power the loco for the entire session--true battery power!
