The software version "Komfort" is available from August 2005 and is especially suitable for the application on analogous model railway layouts and by extended requirement for the remote control of various functions.

The substantial difference against the standard version is the possibility of a remote control of single light-spots or switch-groups by means of push buttons, switches or other contacts or by a network connection.

For example is it possible to switch traffic lights by push button or by travelling motor cars. Illumination can be switched-on or -off by simple depressing a button or trains are switching a railway crossing on their own. Also the start of day times (dawn and dusk or day and night) can be adjusted.

Note: digital model railways controlled by Railware 5 contain the above mentioned possibilities without this extension. Further information here

Various other programs e.g. own developed software, can control all day times, light spots or switch groups with a few TCP/IP commands via a network.

Remote control by push button
For this circuit is a feedback module RM-DEC-88 required. Each feedback module contains16 inputs for the possible connection of push buttons or switches. For the transmittance of the switch informations to the PC is a HSI-88 module required. The HSI-88 requires a vacant serial interface port at the PC.

Remote control via network
Apart from a network connection there are no further requirements necessary. As a software developer you will require merely some knowledge about the basic programming of TCP-connections. A table of possible commands can be found within the manual.
