Using the SmartFrog with the Servo range by ANEmodel.

If you require switching for the frogs (Modified Peco Electro Frog or similar) on your turnouts, there is also a small board available - SmartFrog. This plugs into the driver board between the servo and the driver board for "short free power routing" as shown below.


How the Smartfrog works

In Fig "Smartfrog", terminals A,C. got to the rails and B goes to the frog. The 3 terminals below these go to a signal or some other indicators. I use dead frogs so I did not need this board. In the same way, Peco Insulfrogs (though not dead) do not need this board. Once the signal to change the tunout has been sent to the driver board (from the switch, push button or decoder), the Smartfrog disconnects the frog until the movement is complete.


How to connect the Smartfrog

The Board is mounted near the turnout and is connected in line with the servo - no extra wires to run.
