With the NMRA function mapping it is only possible to have function F0 directional and was intended
for the headlights, so they automatically switch between "front" and "rear" when changing direction. All
6
5
other functions are controlled direction-independent.
4
The special effect CV's #125 ... 132, #159 and #160 (see chapter "Special function output effects"),
3
each assigned to a function output (up to FO8), make it possible to have more direction dependent
2
functions. To utilize the directional capabilities of these CV's use only the directional Bits (0 or 1)
7
without the actual effect Bits.

5
Example 1: A couple of red taillights are connected to function outputs FO1 and FO2 (front and rear
4
of engine). Both are to be actuated with F1 but should also change with direction. This requires the
3
following CV settings:
2
CV #35 = 12 (Bit 2 for FO1 and Bit 3 for FO2), as well as
7
6
effect CVs: CV #127 = 1 (for FO1) and CV #128 = 2 (for FO2).
5
Therefore FO1 is only activated in forward direction and FO2 only in reverse, and only if the function
4
is turned ON with the function key F1.

2
Example 2: Contrary to example 1 where the red taillights were switched independent from the white
7
headlights, in this example the headlights and taillights are switched ON/OFF together at the proper
6
end of the locomotive with F0 or F1 (depending on which end the loco is coupled to the train).
5
This can be done as follows:
4
Connect: White front headlights connected to function output "front headlights"
3
Red front taillights to function output FO2
2
White rear headlights to function output FO1
7
Red rear taillights to function output "rear headlights" (!).

CV #35 = 6 (both white headlights as well as red taillights in the rear on F1!)
CV #126 = 1 / CV #127 = 2 (Direction dependence for rear white and red lights by means of "Special

This new feature
(since SW version 30.7, supplemented with
it possible to switch off all lighting on one side of a locomotive with the push of one function key (usu-
ally on the "train side", i.e. where cars are coupled to the locomotive).

3.17 The "Swiss Mapping"
(SW version 32 and higher, dimming possibilities added with SW version 34)
The "Swiss mapping" is a function mapping that allows the loco lighting to be used as is required by
Swiss locomotives, which is of course also useful for locos of other countries.
The purpose of the "Swiss mapping" is to switch the various states of the locomotive lighting with dif-
ferent function keys, i.e. for situations like driving a single locomotive, cars coupled on driver's cab 1,
or at the driver's cab 2, push-pull, shunting, etc.
Using this relatively complex method is of course only worthwhile if the vehicle is equipped with many
independently connected lights (or LED's) and the decoder offers as many function outputs, at least
6. ZIMO decoders offer indeed between 6 and 10 function outputs (with the exception of a few minia-
ture decoders), large-scale decoders even more.
The desired lighting states are defined by a total of 17 CV groups, each group containing 6 CV's.
A total of 10 such groups can be used (= 78 CV's; CV #430 - #507). The principle is simple in itself, in
that the first CV of each group contains the number (1 to 28) for a function key F1 .. F28, and the oth-
er CVs define which function outputs are to be switched on when pressing this key, each dependent
on the direction of travel.

Description
The value of this CV is calculated as follows:
The number of a function output (FO1...FO6) x 32
+ number of a function key (F1, F2...F28)
0
= Value of CV #107
Function Key: The key (F1...F28) which should turn off
ALL lights on the cab side 1 (front side) AND
Function Output: i.e. taillights on the same side.
0
Same as CV #107 but for other locomotive side.
0
Function output is turned off together with CV #107.
0
Function output is turned off together with CV #108.
