Welcome!
You are here: on the website of the inventor of DCC standard. Digital plus is the ultimate digital control for several trains on the same track. Modell plus is the name of Lenz Elektronik's model series for gauge H0. And Lenz Spur 0 is the return of the big gauge.

New products spring 2010:
Convincing by new useful features and extensions: the new command station LZV200. A software update will be available for LVZ100. According to many modell railroaders demands the SILVER mini + now features a SUSI interface. And the RailCom transmitter LRC110 serves to transmit global RailCom data from one supply section to the next.
A real hit in H0: Köf II with absolutely unique features...
The DB shunting locomotive par excellence V 60 and the converted coaches 3yg ("Umbauwagen") broaden our gauge 0.

The ultimate digital control for several trains on the same track
Right from the start we have disclosed our technology. The transparency, capacity and, above all, expandability 'fitted into' the system led to Digital plus being chosen as the basis for the standardisation of digital railway control systems, after extensive testing by independent NMRA experts (US National Model Railroad Association, the largest association of its kind worldwide).
The NMRA standard describes
- the technical properties that digital control components must satisfy as a minimum requirement
- the 'RPs' (recommended practices).
Compatible or conform?
'Compatible' simply means 'compliant'. 'Conform' means 'approved', 100% conformity with the standard. The NMRA tests components for their 100% conformity with the NMRA standard and awards its 'conformance seal'. Lenz Elektronik GmbH has all its components tested for standard conformity.
What does 'standardised' mean?
'Standardised' describes the way in which information is sent to locomotive decoders via the track.
Who created this norm?
The NMRA's 'DCC Working Group' of digital control manufacturers, of which Lenz is a member, developed this standard based on the Digital plus control system.
How does this standardisation benefit you?
First and foremost, this standardisation ensures the functioning of components in accordance with the standard. Standardisation will eventually secure the future of this type of model railway control: You are not dependent on a single manufacturer, but able to supplement your control system with devices of other manufacturers which also conform to the standard.
