Hi Timmy,

 

The ASC2 can operate any device that is currently controlled via an on/off switch. Think of it as 8 individual remote controlled switches that you could wire up to the power input of any accessory that got a physical switch on your layout.  You'll assign each of these switches a sequential TMCC Accessory ID and then you can operate them from a lionel cab remote or any LCS aware app, such as the LCS App for iPad.

 

The ASC2 is not needed in the case of the AMC/ARC Log Loader. It's already got command control built in. You can run that accessory with just the LCS WiFi and the free LCS App for iPad. There's even a custom control panel for that particular accessory and you can read about it here:

An accessory that is already command-controlled does not require the ASC2.

Cool, so the Culvert unit and Coal Loader should work with the ASC2 as they only need an on/off switch.

 

The Operating Track uses 4 wires though, although it seems like it should only need an on/off switch as well. How could you wire this to an ASC2?

 

Guess the intermodal crane never has a chance to become command controlled.

 

The manual, whenever it's available, should show you how to connect the Op track. Probably uses more than one output?
