Is there a Tomix equivalent of Kato power point or accessary adapter?

While incompatible, Kato and Tomix follow the same general formula with their controllers, using clip on switch boxes to control points and the like. For example Kato's 24-840 switch box has a counterpart with Tomix's 5531 switch box.

 

I'm wondering if there is a Tomix counterpart for these two Kato control accessories:

 

Point Power Adapter

Used to power a set of Kato switch boxes without a Kato controller (powered by AC output, providing a DC clip on for Kato accessories)

 

Accessary Adapter

Opposite conversion, taking the DC power of Kato's clip on system and converting to AC for accessories. I'm positive there must be a Tomix counterpart for this given it would be needed for Tomix's signal lights (unless there is a seperate AC output on Tomix controllers).

Tomix signals and other accessories use a system they call TCS, and most Tomix powerpacks have one or more TCS ports on back. I don't think they make breakout boxes, you just have to have a TCS throttle. As I understand, they output 12VDC? I haven't measured the output on mine, but I suppose I could do that for you later today.
