SPEED TABLE CV67-CV94 FOR 28 SPEED STEPS
When CV29's bit 4 is set to "1" it will use the speed table formed by CV67-CV94 to
control speed (motor voltage). It allows you to setup each speed for all 28 speed
steps. First, program CV29 to 18 for short addresses (1-127) or program CV29 to 50
Range
Default
for long addresses (128-9999) to enable speed table control. Then select throttle to
1-127
3
28 speed steps and run your loco at speed step 1. Use program CV on the main to
0-32
0
change CV67's value (1-255) to adjust step 1's speed. The kick voltage, CV65 is only
0-32
0
applied when the speed step changes from 0 to 1. You should switch between 0 to
1 many times to check step 1's speed. When done with CV67, select speed step 2
0-32
0
and program CV68. CV68's value must be greater then CV67's. When done with
0-32
32
CV67-CV94, use read back CV to make sure their values are in increasing order.

Note: When using MRC Prodigy DCC to program addresses it will automatically disable

the speed table (set CV29's bit 4 to "0"). Programming CV125 to 1 will also disable the
speed table and re-program CV67-CV94 to a default linear speed setting.

This decoder is equipped with adjustable back EMF closed loop speed control. Its
proportional gain (CV113), integral gain (CV114) and derivative gain (fixed) are pre-
0-1
0
tuned for most locomotives. We recommendend that you do not change these set-
tings. Too much gain may cause the motor to oscilate (become unstable). Too little

gain may cause slow reponse. Please get some basic knowledge of PID feedback
