Reply to "Z-Stuff DZ-1000 wiring for non-derailing operations"

Well I've already connected the switch machine to the power supply and the ASC. Everything runs fine.

What I want to do is now set up the non-derailing option. The diagrams and instructions I'm seeing are unclear. It looks like 3 additional wires need to come from the track. One goes to the L terminal on the DZ-1000. The other goes to the R terminal on the DZ-1000. So it appears as though those 2 wires need to be spliced into the green and yellow wires that come from the R and L terminals to the ASC. Correct?  It looks like a third connection comes from the common rail and it is connected to the COM terminal. I'm not sure if that's to the power supply ground or to the ASC COMM terminal.

Great! Sounds like you're about there. You are correct, the diagram is showing non-derail for each path out of the switch. One wire for each direction and spliced to the wires going to the ASC.

If your power supplies are all in phase you can connect (they really should be) all of the commons together back at your power center, then you won't need the third connection out at the switch. Remember, this is AC, there's not really a ground.
