3.14 Special Effects for Function Outputs
(US and other lighting effects, Smoke generator, Uncoupler…)
Special effects can be assigned to a total of 10 function outputs with
CV’s #125, #126, #127 … #132, #159, #160
for F0fr., F0rear, FO1 ...... FO6 , FO7 , FO8
The values for these special effect CVs contain the
actual 6-Bit – special effects code and the 2-Bit directions code
Bits 1,0 = 00: bidirectional (active in both directions)
= 01: active in forward direction only (+ 1)
= 10: active in reverse direction only (+ 2)
Bits 7 ... 2 = 000000xx No effect, except for direction = (0), 1, 2 (bidirectional, forward, reverse)
= 000001xx Mars light + direction = 4, 5, 6 (bidirectional, forward, reverse)
= 000010xx Random flicker + direction = 8, 9, 10 (ditto, ditto, ditto)
= 000011xx Flashing headlight + direction = 12, 13, 14 …
= 000100xx Single pulse strobe + direction = 16, 17, 18
= 000101xx Double pulse strobe + direction = 20, 21, 22
= 000110xx Rotary beacon + direction = 24, 25, 26
= 000111xx Gyralite + direction = 28, 29, 30
= 001000xx Ditch light type 1, right + direction = 32, 33, 34
= 001001xx Ditch light type 1, left + direction = 36, 37, 38
= 001010xx Ditch light type 2, right + direction = 40, 41, 42
= 001011xx Ditch light type 2, left. + direction = 44, 45, 46
= 001100xx Uncoupler as defined in CV #115 = 48, 49, 50
automatic disengagement in CV #116
= 001101xx “Soft start” = slow power-up of function output = 52, 53, 54
= 001110xx Automatic stoplights for street cars,
stoplight-off delay, see CV #63. = 56, 57, 58
= 001111xx Function output turns itself off at speed >0 = 60, 61, 62
(i.e. turns off cab light when driving).
= 010000xx Function output turns itself off after 5 minutes = 64, 65, 66
(i.e. to protect smoke generators form overheating).
= 010001xx As above, but after 10 minutes = 68, 69, 70
= 010010xx Speed or load dependent smoke generation = 72, 73, 75
for steam engines as per CV’s 137 – 139 (i.e. pre-heating at
standstill, heavy smoke at high speed or high load). Smoke
turns itself off as per CV #353; function key has to be pressed to
reactivate smoke.
= 010100xx Driving state-dependent smoke generation for diesel engines = 80, 81, 82
as per CV’s #137 – 139 (i.e. pre-heating at standstill, heavy
smoke during motor start-up sound and acceleration).
Synchronized control of fan connected to the fan output. Smoke
turns itself off as per CV #353; function key must be pressed to
reactivate smoke.
