Cruise Commander Lite
TMCC Compatible DC Cruise Command Upgrade Board
Overview
The patented Cruise Commander Lite with SMS* Technology
tm
is a breakthrough in
cruise control technology for 3-rail. The Cruise Commander product line uses motor
commutation and back-EMF to monitor the speed of the motor(s) attached instead of
an external tachometer sensor. This method of motor control is easier to install than
attaching an optical tachometer and timing tapes, and does not require a flywheels on
the motor. With the Cruise Commander product installed, the performance of the
locomotive will be greatly enhanced.
The Cruise Commander Lite has a lash-up feature, referred to as “nudge mode”. The
mode allows a person to match the locomotives in a lash-up. Once the speeds are
matched, they dynamically adjust with throttle position. The “nudge” settings are
saved for future operating sessions, however may be easily reset.
The Cruise Commander product line is capable of operating in 32 - speed step mode
for speed profile compatibility with most existing engines. The default setting for the
Cruise Commander Lite is 100 speed steps. The Cruise Commander product line
uses the sound system to indicate configuration changes by blowing the whistle/horn
for acknowledgement.
