Allocation of
Function outputs
as (for example)
low/high beam
ATTENTION:
Certain settings in
CV #154 (Special
output configurations
for OEM projects)
the meaning of the
following CVs
changes:
#119, #120,
i.e. those are not low
beam mask any-
more.
Typical application: Low/high beam
Bit 0 - front headlights
Bit 1 - rear headlights
Bit 2 - function output FO1,
Bit 3 - function output FO2,
Bit 4 - function output FO3,
Bit 5 - function output FO4,
Bit 6 - function output FO5.
Respective Bit = 0: Output will not be dimmed,
Respective Bit = 1: Output will be dimmed with F6
to value defined in CV #60.
Bit 7 = 0: “normal“ effect of F6.
= 1: Inverted effect of F6.
EXAMPLE:
CV #119 = 131: Headlights shall be switched between
high and low beam with F6 (F6 = 1).
Same as CV #119 but with F7 as low beam key.
Adaptive
Acceleration and de-
celeration momen-
tum
Raising or lowering the speed to the next internal step oc-
curs only if the preceding step is almost reached. The tol-
erance for reaching the preceding step can be defined by
this CV (the smaller this value the smoother the accelera-
tion/deceleration).
Value 0 = no adaptive accel. or decel.
Tens digit: 0 - 9 for acceleration (1 = strong effect)
Ones digit: 0 - 9 for deceleration
= 11: strongest effect;
ATTENTION:
Bits 2, 3, 4, 6 (i.e.
selection for shunt-
ing key functions)
are only valid if CVs
#155 and #156 = 0
(These allow ex-
tended selection and
are preferred for
new projects).
Shunt key functions:
Half-speed, acceler-
ation deactivation
Bits 0,1 (i.e. type of
acceleration deacti-
vation) are always
valid, also together
with CVs #155, #156
Bit 7:
Switchover SUSI -
Logic level outputs
Selection of a shunting key to activate the HALF SPEED:
Bit 4 = 1 (and bit 3 = 0): F3 as half-speed key
Bit 3 = 1 (and bit 4 = 0): F7 as half-speed key
Selection of a marshalling key for deactivation of ACCEL-
ERATION TIMES:
Bit 2 = 0 (and bit 6 = 0): MN key as acceler. deact.
Bit 2 = 1 (and bit 6 = 0): F4 as acceleration deactivation
Bit 6 = 1 (bit 2 irrelevant): F3 as acceleration deact.
Type (range of action) of key (MN, F3 or F4) for deac-
tivating acceleration times:
Bits 1,0 = 00: no influence on acceleration times
= 10: reduces acceleration/deceleration time
to ¼ of the values according to CVs #3, #4.
= 11: deactivates acceleration/deceleration time
completely.
EXAMPLES:
F3 as half speed key, if CV #124 = 16
F3 as half speed key and
F4 to completely disable acceleration/deceleration time,
if bits 0, 1, 2, 4 = 1, so CV #124 = 23
F3 as half-speed key and for Accel. deact.
if bits 0, 1, 4, 6 = 1, i.e. CV #124 = 83
Bit 7 = 0: SUSI interface active (or servos,
if defined in CVs #181, #182, ...
= 1: Logic level activated instead of SUSI.

This is valid, if in one of the CVs #127 - #132 has set on
of the function effects “smoke generation” (i.e. “72” or
“80”): The values in CVs #137 – #139 define a character-
istic for the function outputs (FO1 - FO8; referred to be-
low as FOx).
