PIKO PluX16 Quick Start Manual

Using the Page-Register to access CV addresses greater than 79

CV-addresses greater than 79 can only be accessed by the page-register. This is CV 66.
If CV 66 has a value higher than 0, then the contents of CV 66 times 64 will be added to every address entered.
The entered value must lie in the range 1 to 64. After programming, reset the contents of CV 66 to zero in order to
avoid unwanted offsets.
Example
Consider CV 82 to be programmed for a value of 15. First CV 66 must be set to a value of 1. Now CV 18 can be set
to a value of 15. The decoder will be programmed at CV 82, as the offset held in CV 66 will be automatically added
to the CV address selected. If CV 82 is to be programmed with a value of 15, then CV 66 must first be programmed
with a value of 1. Subsequently, CV 18 can be programmed with a value of 15. The decoder places the value 15 into
CV 82, which is derived from the multiplying the contents of the CV 66 (in the example 1) by 64 (thus 64) and then
adding the entered CV address (18).

Using the Offset-Register to set CV values greater than 79

CV-values greater than 79 can only programmed by employing the offset-register. This is CV 65. It holds a value offset
that will be multiplied by 4 and added to all CV values keyed in. After programming, reset the contents of CV 65 to
zero in order to avoid unwanted offsets.
Example
Consider CV 49 to be programmed for a value of 157. First CV 65 must be set to a value of 25. Now CV 49 must
be set to value of 57. The decoder will hold 157 in CV 49, because the offset of CV 65 will be multiplied by 4 (=100)
and added to 57.
Observe: When programming CV 65 and CV 66 the mutual contents are ignored.
Märklin Braking Section
The decoder reacts to a Märklin braking section (brakes with analogue current on the track), if CV29 Bit 2 and
CV49 Bit 7 are set to 1 (factory setting 1 and 0).

Factory Default Settings

The factory settings are address 03, 28 speed steps, and the decoder automatically recognizes DCC- and
Motorola**-formats. In addition the decoder can be operated with a DC throttle.

Description

This Locomotive decoder is a small efficient multi-protocol decoder. It can be operated in DCC, and Motorola**
digital systems and also runs in DC analog mode. The operating mode will be detected automatically but can also
be locked manually. The decoder operates with a frequency of 18.75kHz and is therefore well suited for DC and
especially for Bell armature motors (e.g. Faulhaber, Maxon, Escap) up to a maximum power load of 1.2 A. Short
burst start up currents to 1.2 A are tolerated.
Motor characteristics can be controlled either by setting the minimum, maximum and middle speeds or via various
CVs for individual speed steps. Load regulation can be control via regulation parameters to a variety of individual
motors. The decoder provides two direction dependent lighting outputs and two special function outputsoperating
via function key f1 and f2.
All outputs are set at the 16 pole PluX interface at the intended contacts. Via f1 and f2 these both special function
outputs operate on the PluX interface at PIN 16 (f1) and PIN 18 (f2) .
Using f3 and f4 a shunting mode for slow speeds and Start/braking inertia can be activated. The decoder can be
programmed with the Intellibox, DCC and Märklin controllers. CVs can be programmed with all devices.
