System KROIS” and “System ROCO”
If one or two of the function outputs FO1 - FO8 is assigned to the uncoupler function (CV #127 for FO1
etc.), the control of the couplings as well as the entire uncoupling process is defined by
CVs #115 and #116
These CVs limit the time it is switched on (to prevent overheating), define a hold-in voltage if required (i.e.
System “Roco”) as well as the automated coupling unloading and train disengagement.
It is recommended to use the following settings for the Krois system: CV #115 = 60, 70 or 80; these
settings will limit the pull-in time (at full track power) to 2, 3 or 4 seconds respectively.

The uncoupler function is only active if “uncoupler” is
selected (value 48) in one of the CVs #125 – #132,
#159, #160:
Tens digit (0 – 9): Time in seconds the coupler re-
ceives full voltage (pull-in time):
Value: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
sec: 0 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.8 1 2 3 4 5
Ones digit (0 to 9): PWM – voltage reduction (0 % to
90 %) to control the coupling during the pull-in time
(ROCO coupling, not KROIS).

Tens digit (0 - 9): Length of time the loco should move
away (disengage) from the train; coding as in CV
#115.
Ones digit (1 – 9) x 4 = Internal speed step applied for
disengagement (Acceleration per CV #3)
Ones digit = 0: Standstill
Hundredths digit
= 0: No unloading.
= 1: Coupler unloading: engine moves toward train
in order to relieve coupler tension, before uncoupling
and disengaging from the train.
EXAMPLE:
CV #115 = 60 (driving off after disengagement for 2
sec), and
CV #116 = 155 (active pushing to disengage, speed
step 20, 1 sec)
Notes to automated uncoupling with coupler-unloading and train disengagement
- The automatic train disengagement is active if the tens digit in CV #116 is other than 0; if desired with prior coupler
unloading (when CV #116 > 100).
- The automatic train disengagement (or the preceding coupler unloading) is started at the same time the coupling is
activated, but only if the train is standing still (speed 0); if the train is still moving, the uncoupling, unloading and
disengagement procedure will not start until the train comes to a full stop.
- The procedure terminates when the “temporary” function key is released (or pressed again if in latched mode), or
when the predetermined times (CV #115 for the coupling, CV #116 for the disengagement) have expired.
- The uncoupling and disengagement process is aborted immediately if the speed regulator is operated at the same time.
- The driving direction for the train disengagement is always according to the direction set; directional settings in the
“special effects” definition for uncoupling will not be applied.
The "SUSI pins" described in this manual are multi-functional; they can be used either as SUSI interface, as I2C
interface, as logic level outputs or inputs or as servo control lines *
)
. The "SUSI pins" are located on PluX or MTC
connectors, or (for wired types) on solder pads, see connection diagrams, chapter "Technical.Data, ...".
*) In case of "small" decoders (H0, N, TT, etc.) the SUSI pins in alternative application are the only possibility to
connect servos; large scale decoders on the other hand have dedicated servo pins; only if these are not sufficient,
the SUSI pins are used for additional two servos.
By default, the SUSI data and clock lines are active on the "SUSI pins", in case, logic level outputs shall be
active instead, set CV #124 Bit 7 = 1 (value 128) (Bit 7 in add.to other possibly set bits)
These logic level outputs are then always numbered as those following the "normal" outputs: e.g. on an MS450
which has 10 "normal" function outputs (Lfor, Lrev, FO1 - FO8), the logic level outputs are addressed as FO9,
FO10, whereas on an MS440 they are addressed as FO7, FO8.
The CVs listed below define all alternative uses of the "SUSI pins". In factory default state (unless otherwise
specified by Sound-Project) these CVs are normally set = 0, so that the "SUSI-Pins" actually form the SUSI
interface. In the query order of the CVs the following applies:
the first CV <> 0 (or bit 5 in CV #393) determines the application; subsequent CVs have no effect.
Order: logic level outputs / logic level ("reed") inputs / I²C interface / servo control lines / SUSI
