Selection of the
braking occasion
and the
braking behavior
Activation of distance-controlled stopping (Constant Brak-
ing Distance) as defined in CV #141 instead of time con-
trolled braking as defined in CV #4, for
= 1 automatic stop with ZIMO HLU ("signal-controlled
speed influence") or ABC (signal stop by "asymmetric
DCC signal").
= 2 manual stop by speed controller.
= 3 automatic and manual stopping.
In the above cases (= 1, 2, 3) braking from partial speeds
is delayed so that the train does not "creep" for an unnec-
essarily long time (this is the recommended choice). On
the other hand
= 11, 12, 13 as above, but braking is always initiated as
soon as the train is entering the stopping section.

Constant Braking Dis-
tance
The braking distance
The value in this CV defines the "Constant Braking Dis-
tance". The value suitable for the existing braking dis-
tances must be determined by trial and error; as a guide
can serve: CV #141 = 255 means approx. 500 m in the
prototype (i.e. 6 m in H0), CV #141 = 50 is approx. 100 m
(i.e. 1.2 m for H0).

Braking distance for-
ward High Byte
Extended definition of the Constant Braking Distance:
With CV #830 - #833 a more precise and direction depend-
ent braking distance can now be set. The factor compared
to CV #141 is 1 to 16.
The braking distance to be defined is calculated from:
(256 * High Byte) + Low Byte.
CVs #830 - #833 are only effective if CV #141 = 0.

Compensation for
HLU method
Since HLU is more error-resistant than ABC, no detection
delay is usually necessary; therefore default 0.
Compensation for
gear backlash during
direction changes in
order to prevent
start-up jolt.
= 0: no effect
=1 to 255: in ase the driving direction was changed be-
forehand, the motor spins at minimum rpm for a defined
timespan (according to CV #2) for a specific time and
only starts to accelerate after this time has elapsed.
The time of these “idle rotations” can only be tried; typical
values:
= 100: the motor turns about 1 revolution or a
maximum of 1 second at the minimum speed.
= 50: about ½ a turn or max. ½ second.
= 200: about 2 turns or max. 2 seconds.
Important: The minimum speed in CV #2 must be config-
ured correctly, so that the train moves perfectly at the
lowest speed step (1).
Fine adjustment of
the
PID parameters
NOTE: are adjusted
automatically with
CV #56!
Integral value of the PID-motor regulation,
recommended for „modern“ powertrain: CV #147 = 65
Differential value of the PID-motor regulation,
recommended for „modern“ powertrain: CV #148 = 45
Proportional value of the PID-motor regulation,
recommended for „modern“ powertrain: CV #149 = 65

The tens digit reduces the motor compensation to 10 % –
90 % according to the value in CV #58.
= 0: brake not active
= 1 - 9: In case of “zero power supply to the motor”
(Motor PWM = 0) the speed to the desired speed step is
still not reached (speed is still too high), the motor brake is
slowly activated (distributed to 1, 2, ... 8 seconds until the
full effect by short circuit on the motor through the power
amplifier). The higher the value, the stronger the brake is
applied.
= tens digit (1-9): Reduction of the motor regulation if con-
sist-key is active. The values 1 - 9 in the tens digits in
CV #151 reduce the control to 10 % - 90 % of the value
set in CV #58.

Time limit for

available.
