4.6. Automated processes

The control software in the locomotive decoder allows you to automate
procedures and to reduce complex processes to one keystroke.
Automatic commuting operation
It is possible to install an automatic commuting operation between two
terminal stations, via the switching inputs. You can assign a function
key to the automatic commuting operation, in order to switch it on or
off during operation.
Sequence: As soon as the switching input has been released (e.g. by a
magnet in the track in combination with a Hall sensor or a reed
contact), the locomotive breaks with the set brake delay. After the set
stop time the locomotive starts with the set acceleration delay.
Depending on the settings, the direction of motion is altered internally
and the locomotive runs back into the opposite direction or goes on in
the same direction.
When so programmed, closing one of the switching inputs on the main
track between the terminal stations will be ignored by the commuting
automatic and can be used to trigger any function during commuting
operation. Please note, that always all active functions assigned to the
switching input are released as soon as the switching input is closed.
The second switching input can be used to release additional stops on
the commuting line.
Possible settings for CV programming:

length of the stop time (0 to max. 160 seconds), either commonly
for both directions or separately for advancing and reversing;

whether a change of direction has to be performed after a stop;

switching off the commuting automatic with function key F5 to F12;

number of switching impulses between two terminal stations to be
igrnored (and not releasing the braking for terminal station).
