Digitrax systems have been kown to mysteriously shut off track power for no apparent reason. This is a known issue when utilizing a DT602 throttle. Sometimes you can recover from this by immediately turning track power back on with the throttle. However, there have been times when the throttle cannot turn the power back on. This can be an extremely frustrating and disrupting event even if you get the track power on immediately.
There are a couple of things you need to do to remedy this. First and foremost both the throttle and the command station need to have their latest respective firmware upgrades installed. However, even with the firmware upgrades in place there is another setting the author recommends you employ. This is mentioned in a Knowledge Base article from Digitrax (KB1063) which can be very easily missed. It is located at the very bottom of the Knowledge Base article in the section labeled TRACK POWER. Thanks to Mick Moignard of the groups.io Digitrax forum for shaking the author's tree concerning this.
This OpSw setting goes all the way back to the venerable DCS100!
