5.2. General Properties of all Decoders

5.2.1. Operating Modes

All LokSound V4.0 decoders are true multi-protocol decoders
with automatic detection of the operating mode „on-the-fly."
The decoder analyses the track signal and filters out the part that
is reserved for it. Changing from digital to analogue and back
represents no problem whatsoever. This is important in case your
e.g. fiddle yard still works in analogue mode. Furthermore, all
LokSound decoders support the relevant brake modes such as
ROCO®, Lenz® or Märklin® and stop as intended.
Especially the ABC brake sections are suitable for a simple stop
in front of the signal. LokSound decoders achieve the maximum
compatibility with the operating system in order to enable you to
simulate even some unusual operational requirements.
The LokSound V4.0 supports and automatically detects the DCC
protocol with 14, 28, or 128 speed steps. Of course, operation
with the long 4-digit addresses is possible as well.
Contrary to the original Märklin®-decoders, LokSound V4.0 de-
coders support up to 255 addresses and 28 speed steps in Mo-
torola® mode. With the appropriate command station such as
the ESU ECoS, you can expand the system limits of the Motorola®
system considerably.
Furthermore, all LokSound V4.0 decoder support RailComPlus®.
A RailComPlus®-compatible command station immediately recog-
nises a LokSound V4.0 decoder fully automatically. The decoder
will transfer all of its important data to the command station. Fi-
nally, you will never have to look for a loco address once again or
carry out any function mapping!

5.2.2. Motor Control

The most important function of digital decoders is motor control.
All LokSound V4.0 decoders are designed for universal use and
therefore can control all commonly available DC motors, regardless
if they are by ROCO®, Fleischmann®, Brawa®, Mehano®,
Bemo®, LGB®, Hübner®, Märklin® or others.
Coreless motors (such as Faulhaber® or Maxon®) also work fine
