Faller car system

Can someone please explain how would the Pc 161351 module be used with the analog car system. Faller is saying to me that yes it is compatible but I don’t understand how would it be able to communicate with the analog cars? Please help

Thanks

Welcome to this site Rudy. Sadly I have not a clue about this Faller system, and a quick search suggests that the last active interest was in 2017 from someone we haven't heard from lately.

I think you might do best if you post this question in the HO forum, where there is most likely to be some know-how. HTH
The analogue cars just have a reed switch, so not sure how this interface could communicate!
I had a quick look at Faller's web page for this product - PC-standard module and had a quick read of the manual from here:
https://medien.faller.de/xs_db/DOKUMENT_DB/www/anleitungen/161351_anl_01.pdf

It looks to me like the 12 outputs are for switching things like the Branch-off junction and equivalent stop and bus stop solenoids. You could probably control the traffic lights as well.

The 11 inputs would read these sensors - 3 Sensors.

The PC would run software to check the inputs to detect a magnet equipped car and the program the stop functions or whatever to suit.

There is no direct connection to the cars so far as I can tell.
