Connection to the digital system is disconnected

Connection is disconnected

There are frequent complaints about a connection interruption between the computer and the digital system.

When I start my model railway and the PC, the TrainController connection to the layout works. However, if I leave the layout inactive for an extended period, the PC loses the connection. What could be the cause of this?

Solution in Windows 10 and 11

The connection is also interrupted in Windows 10 and 11, both to the digital system and in connection with the license USB stick.

In Windows 10 and 11, the correct setting can be found in the power plan.

Solution in Windows 7 and 8

For users of Win7 and Win8, the Windows power option is often the cause.

• Select Power Options in the Control Panel.

• You will usually see that the recommended power plan, "Balanced," is enabled.
• Click the "Change plan settings" link.
• When this window opens, there is another link, "Change advanced power settings."
• Opening this link will display a window with a drop-down menu for selecting the power saving mode.

• Here you must select the power plan you are using.

• In the next window, you can change the power settings for various areas, including USB settings.
• Here you should disable selective USB power saving.

Then click OK or Apply and the problem should be resolved.
