Short Circuit Detection

[drgw0579]

I have a couple DCC Specialties PSXX DCC Circuit Breakers that work great.   I've been looking at connecting them to my CMRI system so if there is a circuit, I can turn on a LED on my fascia and maybe do some other things.   I could put a rectifier/regulator on the track output and use that as an input the CMRI, but that would just tell me there is/is no power, not that the breaker has tripped.  In looking at the manual, I see the board has an optional short indication, and a "sonalert" can be purchased for an audible alarm.   Has anyone done that?   Maybe its a 5V component and maybe instead of the buzzer, that circuit could be an input to a cmri port?   Before I try this, has anyone done that before?

Iirc.  The breakers have outputs on the board that could be used for network feedback.  Also led outputs that do what you want.    The docs are linked at Tony’s.   I just don’t have time right now since I’m on a phone

Thanks.  I see the LEDs jumpers and I can try that.   Will report back how that works with JMRI.
