Special Functions Al
to
A7
The
special
functions A1 to A7
of the
decoder
can
only
be
used when the
designated user are
already
connected to the
interfaces PluX22
in
the
vehicle
or on
when
there are solder
pads
available on the main
circuit board.
A
short circuit with the motor, lighting,
third rail
pickup
and
wheels
can destroy
the device
and eventually
the locomotive
electronics!
Decoder Startup
(delivered
condition)
Enter address
3
into
the
control unit.
The
decoder operates
depending
on
the
data
format
used
in DCC-Operation
with 28
speeds
or in Motorola operation. Wth a
RailCom
Plus@
capable digitalcenter
or
with
an
mfxo capable
digital
center, the decoder
is
up and running within
a few seconds and can
be operated
immediately.
lf the decoder is
used on
conventional systems, it can be controlled
with a DC orAC drive
unit. The operating mode is
automatically
recognized
by the decoder. The
status of
functions F0
-
F12 can be set for
analog operation via CVs 13 and 14.
Analog
Operation
with AC
or DC
Voltage
The locomotive
decoder
is
suitable
for
analogue operation with DC
orAC
voltage,
which is
seltdetected.
NOTE:
ln
DC
operation,
your
vehicle will
only start up at
higher
voltage
(speed
controller turned
up
furlhe$
than
you
might have been used to
in
operation
with
analogue
vehicles.
Function
outputs
in
analog
operation
It is
possible
to set
the
decoder
in
such a way
that the function keys
F0
-
F12,
as assigned
in Function
Mapping,
can
also be switched on
in
analog
mode.
For
this
purpose,
CVs 13
&
14 must first
be
programmed
with
a digital control
unit.
The
conesponding values can
be
found
in
the
CV table.
Motorola
ln order
to
be able
to reach the
functions
F1
-
F12
when
used
with Motorola command stations, the decoder
has
3
Motorola
addresses, which
are stored
trinary in
CV4749.
These
3 addresses are also used for decoding. lf
an
address
is
programmed
decimal
in
CV1, the
decoder automatically
stores
the trinary
equivalent
in
CV47
up to
ad-
dress
79. For
example,
in
order
to
use
Motorola locomotive
addresses
up to 255, CVs 47
-
49
must be
programm€d-,,,,,.n,,...,,,
directly
decimal
via Motorola
programming.
These
CVs
can
be read but not
programmed
on
the
DCC
programming
track.
lf the CV47
is
programmed
via Motorola,
CV1 is not changed and therefore the
DCC
data format in CV12 is
switched off, so
that the
decoder cannot be
accessed
by mistake via
2 addresses.
lf
bit
5
(DCC
Long address) is set in CV29, the Motorola data format is
switched off except for Motorola
program-
ming,
so that
the
decoder cannot
react
to
2
addresses.
RailComo,
RailCom Plus@
The RailComo technology developed by LENZ@ is based on
the
transmission
of data
from
the decoder into the
specially
prepared (Cut0ut)
DCC digital signal on the
track. Detectors
must
be located on the track to evaluate this
decoder data and, if necessary fonrvard it to
the control center. The decoder sends, depending on
the
setting, the
decoder address
and, when read
out
via
the main
track
programming,
CV values
which
can be
displayed
by the
digital control
panel
(depending
on
the
detector and
control
panel).
The
CV29
RailComo
can be
switched
on or off
in
the
decoder
via
bit 3
of the
CV29
RailComE. Further RailComo
settings can be
made in
CV
28. There, for
example,
RailCom Plus@
is
also
switched on
via
bil
7.
lf RailCom Plus@ is
switched on,
the
decoder
will
automatically
log
on
to a
RailCom Plus@ capable
control unit
(e. g.
PIKO
SmartControl)
wilh its locomotive
symbol, decoder
name
and
special function symbols
within
a
few
seconds.
Thanks
to
this
RailCom
Plus8
technology,
there is no
need to
store
locomotive data
in
the
central control unit and
no locomotive
addresses have to
be
programmed
into
the decoder.
mft'
The
PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1
for
Sound supports
the
mff data format.
lf
the
digital central unit used
is mfxcapable,
the decoder
with its locomotive
symbol,
decoder name and special
function symbols automatically
logs
in
within
a
few
seconds.
Due to this
mfxo technology,
no locomotive
data
has
to
be stored
in the
control center and
no locomotive
addresses
have to
be
programmed
into
the
decoder,
