Stick back to the topic!
Ranjit did asked for help by start digital. This one really made my day!  |

Hopefully Ranjit has now ordered his CS3plus as this topic as usual ends up being an argument and of no use to the original poster.
The CS3PLus has advantages over the CS3 in particular when using a S88 and is not a waste of money and in no way compares to a MS2.

Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer. |

I did count up what is cheapest way for Ranjit by start digital if he likes it.
There is difference in cost between CS3 and CS3+.
60226 €649,99
60883 €99,99
66360 €49,99
Total amount: €799,97
60126 € 799,99
60881 €54,99
Total amount: €854,98
In fact it is more cheaper way by use CS3 and enough for a big large layout too.
The way of use response signal is not always necessary for the train layout.
It will be fine by use m84 and reed switch too via magnet under the frame of the trains by pass over the reed switch.

Goofys prices are way too high. Look at MSL and others for a CS3 plus at 699 euros and if you wish join the MSL club and you will get it for 629 euros plus another 4% added to your account. Also a S88 connects straight to the CS3 plus. The is hardly any price difference between the two controllers if you use a S88.
MSL has a 49 euro fee to join but you still save a considerable amount. Nobody needs to pay Marklin retail prices. Shop around for the best deals. |

I agree, these prices, pulled from the Marklin website are high when, if you use the same part numbers at any reputable online hobby shop are lower For example; 60881 at Marklin is €54,99, but at Lippe is €45,99 (20% cheaper) Likewise 60226 is €649,99 from Märklin and is €584,99 at Lippe (again, cheaper) Just my 2c... |

It allows to compare between options from the same brand and between brands. ONCE you have found the best technical (or cheapest) solution THEN it is time to shop around. Difference in prices at OVP, should be relative to prices in huge shops that can sell 15-20% below the OVP. One should still look around/shop around, as shops may have taken action on specific products. Some may have the wanted product from split-up sets, etc. Just TALKING to the owner can get you a discount... |

Quoting Marklins prices could put off many buying as they are way to high. Ranjt should be looking at the two controllers and deciding which is best for him taking into account the advantages of the CS3 PLus then look at prices from various dealers but not the Marklin shop.
I see Ranjit has not come back to the the thread which is not surprising. |

Per. came across this: The galvanic isolation in the CAN interface shall protect the CAN controller and also the PC from high voltage incidents on the bus.
Under certain circumstances, the voltage differences in a CAN network can reach values far beyond specification. This can not only destroy CAN transceiver and CAN controller in the interface, it might as well have an impact on the PC hardware.
With a galvanic isolation, you still might have a defect on your CAN interface (in most cases the CAN transceiver), but your much more expensive host system will not be affected.
And this led me to a question, Is the whole CS3+ powered by a galvanic isolated power supply or is it just the CS3+ CAN interface module that have a separate galvanic isolated power supply. ?
