Consisting
It is common for operators to create and disband Multiple Unit “MU” con-
sists during operating sessions. The UWT-100 features a simple method
for quickly creating and managing consists that is completely self-
contained in the throttle. This method is konwn as “in-throttle” consisting
which operates independently of the command station. In-throttle consist-
ing can be used in conjunction with or independently of decoder-based
“advanced” consists.
The UWT-100 consisting system is capable of controlling the speed,
direction, and functions for all locomotives within a consist. The UWT-100
can also select JMRI-created and managed consists.
Our consisting system features “in-cab control” which allows the user to
select the lead locomotive of the consist, effectively putting you “in the
cab” as an operator. The Enter button can be used to quickly page
through consist members and select the active cab.
Managing Consists
When a consist is created, the current cab address will become the rst
member of that consist. The following options in the “Consisting” menu
can be used to manage consists.
Add Loco To Consist
Enter the address of the locomotive to be added, or select from a list.
Pressing the button changes the direction of the locomotive being
added to the consist.
View Current Consist
Shows all members of current consist and their direction within the con-
sist. Selecting a locomotive from the consist provides options to switch to
that cab, remove that member, or change direction.
Clear Current Consist
Dispands the consist, returning all locomotives to independent operation.
Consist Functions
Determines what functions are assigned to the consist or to the selected
cab.
