WFS-42 Quad Wi-Fi Stall-motor Switch Machine Controller

This module provides Wi-Fi control of four stall-motor switch machines such as the popular Tortoise from Circuitron and others.
There are many ways to operate the turnouts controlled by the WFS-42.
The simplest is to connect a browser to the WFS-42 web pages and operate the turnouts by tapping buttons on the web page. You'll probably use this for initial checkout.
But to make best use of one or more WFS-42, you'll need a Wifitrax WFD-60 Wi-Fi and DCC Gateway. This device discovers and controls a set of WFS-42 (or other Wifitrax WFS series) to provide centalized control. The WFD-60 provides a WiThrottle server so that you can use an app such as Engine Driver or WiThrottle or a device like TCS UWT-100/50 to control turnouts. You'll likely use this method if you are using a WFD-60 to control large-scale locomotives.
The WFD-60 also provides a DCC input, so you can use an existing DCC Command Station/Booster to control your turnouts by simple connecting its Track DCC output to the WFD-60 DCC input
But that's not all. The WFD-60 also provides its own set of customizeable schematic panels so that you can build a schematic diagram of all or part of your layout and control your turnouts by clicking or tapping on the turnout image in the panel.
Please read the Quick Start Document or Full Manual to see diagrams of typical usage.

The WFS-42 can operate stall-motor switch machines only. It does not have its own DCC input but relies on the WFD-60 to accept DCC for a collection of WFS-42 modules.
DIP Switches on the WFS-42 module allow a range of output voltages to be selected.


With this module you can use Wi-Fi to control up to four stall-motor switch machine channels in many different ways

(1) Use its internally generated web pages on any browser,
(2) Use a Wifitrax WFD-60 with its schematic layout panels to control a set of WFS-42s each with 4 turnouts,
(3) Use any DCC Command Station/Booster into the Wifitrax WFD-60 to control those same turnouts,
(4) Use a Wifitrax WFD-30 or 31 together with an NCE Command Station/Booster and WFD-60 with an app such as Engine Driver, WiThrottle or the TCS UWT-100/50,
(5) Use a Wifitrax Command Station/Booster, WFD-60 plus the same apps.
(6) Use our free Tower Operator App. This app controls four of your model railroad switches by tapping a switch symbol on the custom layout map you build on your Windows 10 or Android computer or tablet.
