5.11 Coupling control
The decoder allows for a comfortable controlling of remote couplings at all function outputs. The
selected output provides full power for a settable period of time (kick duration) and reduced power
after this period has expired. By how much the power is decreased can be set using the value for
brightness for the choosen output. You can also set if and how long the locomotive is to move
during the coupling process.
5.12 RailCom
The decoder is equipped with the RailCom function. In addition to the locomotive address, other
data (e.g. speed, CV content) can be transmitted from the locomotive via the track back to the
system. The information sent is received by a RailCom detector and then displayed. Bit 4 in CV29 is
set to enable the transmission function.
6 Programming the decoder
The locomotive address, acceleration and deceleration delay, and all other features of the
locomotive decoder can be changed as often as desired by reprogramming the decoder. The
features are "stored" permanently in special locations even when the operational voltage is switched
off. These locations are called "configuration variables" or simply "CV". The values are configured
electronically, which means that it is not necessary to open the locomotive again after the decoder
has been installed.
You need one of the following Digital plus systems to program the locomotive decoder:
LZ100 / LZV100 (with manual controls or interface); SET02; compact.
You can alter the content of CVs both through "Programming in operational mode (PoM)" (except
for CV1, CV17 and CV18) or "Programming on the programming track".
