I'm using LGB 51755 momentary control boxes for the switches.
They use AC input (24V max). They have a diode(s)s that sends out 1/2 wave AC to the DC switch motor. That's correct 1/2 wave AC to control the DC motor.
Which way the points move being dependent on which 1/2 of the AC wave the diode(s) in the controller sends.
What I want to do is by pushing the switch is to align up to 4 switch motors in the desired route. I've tested and it will power 4 LGB 12010 EPL switch motors.
I have up to 6 routes to consider. They all are combinations of the switch machines.
In essence what I would be doing is back feeding to one or more of the control box switches.
So the question is, would this damage the diode(s).
Wiring I know about, diodes I don't.
