Tmcc unresponsive

bigdogjeff1OGR Forum Member

hi all I have a tmcc and dcs with tmcc connected directly to outer rail of track it was running tmcc as good as tmcc runs but lately all my tmcc is like it doesn't get enough electric I have my track at 18 v and runs my mth engines fine but the tmcc I scroll to 30 and nothing apply to 20 volts and it hardly moves change to 128 step and when I get it to 100 it starts to move a little with a push 128 it goes but very slow.what is the problem. I have 5 tmcc engines and they all do the same thing.

You might try resets on your TMCC engines, I don't know if you are controlling these with DCS or TMCC but the reset is the first thing I would try.

Well, since all of them do it, I'd be looking at common causes. Sounds like the command base or remote have a problem.

Are you running the older CAB1 or Legacy CAB2? Have you checked the batteries in the remote? Have you made sure that the command base has a PROPER grounded outlet connection?

It's pretty amazing that all the TMCC stuff needed a reset, I've been running it a long time and never seen something like that!

John, I find so much of these control systems amazing, and they make trains so much more fun.

Jeff,

I am kind of new to Legacy/TMCC however Guns has a real good point, having to reset every TMCC engine is a might strange. I would be looking at your remote control or TMCC Base as the real problem, some how I can't imagine every TMCC engine needing to be reset at the same time. Your real problem may reoccur some time in the future.
