Feedback With Railcom** And Railcom Plus - tams elektronik 30 plus Series Manual

English Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus
coupling from damage, the current is switched off automatically after
the set time. The driving direction is changed over to the set direction
of motion and the locomotive drives away a small distance from the
decoupled carriage.

4.7. Feedback with RailCom** and RailCom plus **

RailCom is a log for bi-directional communication in digital model
railway layouts controlled in DCC-format. It allows e.g. the feedback of
the address and the CV values from the decoder to the digital central
unit or to special receivers (so-called detectors). The decoders must be
designed to send the RailCom messages.
When so programmed, the locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus send
(continuously) the (basic, extended or consist) address to the detectors (so-
called RailCom broadcast datagramm) and transfer a CV message after a
DCC CV read-out command.
Sending RailCom messages is only possible in layouts with a DCC signal
on the rails. It is not possible to use the RailCom-function in a pure
Motorola environment.
RailComPlus enables the decoder to log in automatically at the digital
control unit. In doing so the locomotive address and name as well as
the functional mode and range are transmitted. The precondition for
using RailComPlus is using a control unit providing this type of
feedback.
