10.5.1. linear braking

CV253 = 0: The locomotive begins immediately after the occurrence of the
braking command, linearly decelerate. The braking force is selected coder so the
de- that regardless of the Ausgangsgeschwin- speed after reaching the defined
path in CV 254 the locomotive is. The dashed line in Fig. 35 shows the
relationship.

10.5.2. Constant linear deceleration

CV253> 0: If the value in CV253 higher than 0, the locomotive runs at entry onto
the braking distance initially for some time unchanged WEI ter, then abzubrem-
with the set in CV253 braking time sen. The strength of the braking effect is
constant here and set in CV253. The decoder changes the brake timing so that
at the end stops at the correct point, the locomotive. Fig. 35 illustrates the
relationship.

10.5.3. pull trains

Thus turning trains arrive correctly before the red signal to a stop, the braking
distance for reverse travel can be set separately on request. This purpose is
served CV 255. If there is a value greater than 0, the value of CV 254 applies
Windwärts ride for starters, the value in CV 255 of reversing. Typically, the value
of going astern (ie control car ahead) shortest must be set zer.

10.5.4. Braking at speed level 0

Thus the (constant) braking distance is applied, the decoder must normally
detect a braking distance. This is sometimes disadvantage way particularly
systems with computer software, because the software sends the "brake
command" directly in the form of speed step "0", whether physically present
brake section. Thus 5 takes into account the braking distance even in this case,
the operation LokSound can be bit 7 defined by set of CV 27, that is to be
braked also in maintaining the speed level "0".

10.6. braking functions
LokSound decoder 5 have three brake functions to influence the desired braking
times. Is withdrawn as soon as the brake function is active: For each of the three
braking functions, a percentage value can be set individually, that of the actual
braking time (CV 4 say). The braking functions arbei- th cumulative, so that the
braking time is getting shorter as braking functions are active. The braking
functions can be individually or joint at any function key. The proportions to be
subtracted from each CV 4 are indicated in the CVs 179, 180 and 181st A value
of 0 means 0%, the value of 255 means 100%.
For example, the value 60 in CV 4 results in a regular braking time of 15
seconds. In CV 179 of the value 90 for the Bremsfunktion1, in CV 180, the value
200 is stored for braking function. 2 Now, if one brake function is active, then a
real brake time results of 60 * (256-90) / 256 = 39. When brake function 2 is
active, the result is 60 * (256-200) / 256 = 13. If the brake functions 1 and 2 are
active, the result is 60 * (256-90-200) / 256 = 0 (negative brake values ​ ​ a re not
allowed!)
Usually affects a braking function only th the Bremszei-, but does not initiate
braking. For each braking function is now exis- advantage a CV (CV 182, CV
183, and CV 184) to define the maximum speed level during active braking
function. This maximum speed level can not be exceeded. Example 1: You want
that the locomotive brakes to 0 with activated braking function. 1 Be therefore
CV = 0. 182 Example 2: You want that while the locomotive brakes during active
braking function 2, but a minimalistic gear 8 does not exceed proceeds (speed
limit). Write therefore CV 183 = 8. In this case, the locomotive will drive never
travel faster than speed level 8, no matter how high the controller is turned up.
Turn the knob, however, manually down further, the locomotive will drive slower
course.
