Function outputs
The decoder has two amplified function outputs with a maximum
current of 100 mA each, which are available to connect optional
accessories (e.g. lighting).
In DCC format the function outputs can be switched via the function
keys F0 to F12. In Motorola format the function outputs can be
switched via the function keys F0 to F4. The functions F5 to F9 can be
switched via the function keys F1 to F4 and F0 by assigning them to a
second address. The functions F10 to F12 are not available in Motorola
format.
You can assign the function keys to the function outputs freely. It is
possible to assign several function keys to one function output.
Effects of the function outputs
It is possible to set the following effects for all function outputs
individually:
Dimming: Example of use: The electric bulbs of older vehicles made
for analogue operation can be dimmed and thus must not be
exchanged after the mounting of the decoder.
Switching on and off depending on the direction of travel: This
function can be assigned either to the individual outputs or to the
function keys.
Flash Lights: Both the frequency and the keying ratio can be set. E.g.
single and alternating flash lights or strobe lights.
Feedback with RailCom
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 control
unit or to special receivers (so-called detectors). The decoders must be
designed to send the RailCom messages.
