The Coupler Driver Board has four outputs, two servo and two solenoid connections for the Phoenix Remote Knuckle Coupler. Two physical trigger inputs are included on the coupler board allowing couplers to be fired by non-DCC remote control systems such as Locolinc and Revolution. Physical trigger inputs allow the coupler board to have two independently triggered events; each event can trip either a single servo, two servos, a single solenoid, two solenoids or a servo and a solenoid.
