Digital Command Control: History, Products, Standards & Measurement

Digital Command Control (DCC) is a standardized communication protocol for the control of model railways. Products conforming to DCC standards are therefore compatible regardless of manufacturer, enabling interoperability between all model railways running DCC. The standards and recommended practices that define DCC are developed by the DCC Working Group…
