    Dear Sirs
    I want to use at the same time digital and analogical control of tournouts with indication of the tournout position. I had an analógical commandament (with switces and leds) and now I'm using digital control with 5211 Decoder (for minitrix tracks and Ecos controller) . I burned one 5211 trying to connect both circuits. I have now a circuit that has been working for two days. I have the image but I don't know how to put here. From this image I will like to ask if you can tell if it is correct. Or better if you have any system for this goal: To use at the same time Digital and nalogic systems with identification of tournout position.
    Sincerely

    Thanks for your comments
    I don't use module 5217 in these two rails system, all the feedback decoders are 5233. But only adding, at the end of the really working modules (5233), a 5217 I got information on my system about the occupaid track sectors. I checked everything on my ECos and I read carefully the 5233 manual. I coudn't buy any 5234 but I prepared one followinf the instructions and details on the manual. I didn't see any improvement. With other systems, and not in trains, I had to put at the end of the bus a resistance (specially when the bus is trough coaxial cable). My question was about this, Do you have noticed any problem with Eco's and 5233 and how o solve it?. On the web many other users explain their problemms similar to the one I posted hear and no answer I found to solve it.

    Dear Sirs
    My german is really poor and I'm not able to write one word, for this reason I write the question in engish.
    I have a ECoS-ESU Comander, N-Gauge, and I'm using the Viessmann 5233 as a retromodule to detect rail occupancy.
    I had few problems when I used only one 5233 (some times the signal was lost), but the first problem was when I put the second and the third 5233. Not signal at all, or only signals for the last module, but not constant.
    Then I've seen that 5233 and ECoS don't work enough well together, because they use the same """????""" to control differnt things?.
    Finally I had a 5217 module (not useful for N-gauge) but I found that connecting this module at the eand of the modules chain, the system works perfectlly.
    What can I do to avoid the installation of 5217, but with the 5233 responding.
    Many Thanks
