5211 decoder question.

  • Hello.


    In 2 cases I have had a switch-motor burnt. They were both connected to a 5211 (I have 48 of them...) decoder. Is it possible that the decoder for some reason have not reacted (or not received, because of a computer-glitch) to the "switch-off" signal from the PC? So the voltage to the switch-motor has not been cut off ? So eventuelly the switch-motor burnt...?


    I knowe there is overload-protection etc, but is there also an automatic cut-off after a second or two?


    Best regards,
