The RB5300 module is designed for the "digitization" of analog control panels, including pre-made modular panels and DIY configurations. It enables the control of accessory decoders (such as turnout and signal decoders) via buttons and switches. Additionally, the module facilitates the display of turnout positions, signal states, routes, and track occupancy using LEDs integrated into the control panel.
