The Zimo Bus System, based on the industrial-proven CAN protocol, with at least 1000 messages / sec is the most powerful and reliable under Digital system bus systems. The ZIMO system components, such as base units, booster, driveline, magneticle and track section modules, etc., are connected to each other via the CAN bus (Controller Area Network), and wrap it over its traffic with 125 kbit / s. The protocol originated from automotive and industrial applications provides a faultless way of working. The ZIMO CAN bus cable consist of 6-pin cables and 6-pin modular plugs (also known under Western plug). Two CAN bus jacks are installed in all relevant ZIMO products, so that a loop of the CAN bus is possible from device to device, but there are multiple couplings and junction boxes for larger networks.
The company Zimo Elektronik was founded in Vienna in 1980. From the beginning, Zimo was engaged in the development and production of digital control systems for model railways. With the predecessor company "ZIEGLER & MAIR", the first systems were already sold in 1979. In the 1980s to 1990s many trend-setting production lines were introduced such as the digital systems "M1000" and "M2000" as well as the decoders "M4000", "M4001" and the operating controllers "M5000". From 1996 onwards, Zimo products were designed for the DCC rail signal standardised by the NMRA as well as for the MM system. In the following years, the production capacity of the company was increased and the product range expanded.
