Hi everyone! As I understand, the CS3 and CS3+ have two components: the GUI (or Graphical User Interface Processor) , and the GFP (or Gleis Format Processor). As far I have investigated, both units are individually connected to the Märklin CAN Bus. They have different UIDs, Hash values and its own software module. But my question is, which are the precise functions of these units, the GUI and the GFP? Something that I guess is that the GFP has a kind of booster function, but also a kind of S88 interface roll. The CAN-UDP-Gateway is another unit. I think it is not linked to the CAN bus, and again I guess it is linked to the GUI. But I'm not sure about all I guess. Does anyone know or have more information about these component units? Thanks in advance. Francisco Edited by user 05 March 2022 07:42:56(UTC)

The GFP or Track Format Processor creates the digital track signal. There is only one GFP in the system and the signal is distribute in parallel with the CAN bus. All boosters amplify the digital track signal from the same GFP. |

As far as I know, then there is a GFP in booster's like 60174 and 60175.
There is also a GFP in every CS 2 or 3 used as slaves.
The GFP in the CS3 is called GFP3 and the other just GFP.
The new software update also has a GFP update.

Thank you H0 and PerR for your messages!  I think I can now understand the function of the GFP or GFP3. And as such, I suppose that the 60116 Digital Connector Box (for the MS2) includes also a GFP inside, doesn't it? And about the GUI (Graphical User Interface processor) of the Central Stations, does anybody know its functions? Very kind regards! Francisco |
