5. Configuring the system (Submenu "System")

In the submenu "System" you make all the settings that are necessary to adjust your mc² for
operation with your layout. The explanations for the input fields open when you click on the
symbol .

5.1. System Info

In this menu item you can get an overview of the essential data of your digital central unit:

Hardware and software status of your mc²

Serial number, IP address and MAC address of your mc²

Flash and RAM allocation

Supply voltage

Temperature of the mc²

Track voltage: This value is set in the menu item "System / Boosters" according to the
nominal size of the layout.

Current / maximum current: The maximum current is set in the menu item "System /
Boosters". If the maximum current is exceeded, the integrated booster of the mc² is
automatically switched off.

Connected input devices: All input devices connected to the interfaces for EasyNet,
XpressNet, LocoNet or the CAN bus are displayed. Information on feedback devices
connected to the mc² can be queried in the menu items "Operation / Detectors" and
"Operation / BiDiB".
Info: Flash and RAM
"Flash" refers to the internal permanent memory of the mc², in which all data is stored that is
retained after switching off, e.g. the configuration, the locomotive database or audio files. An
occupancy of up to 90 % is not critical. It can be exceeded, for example, if a large number of
audio files are stored.
"RAM" refers to the internal working memory of the mc², in which all data generated during
operation are stored. An occupancy of up to 90 % is not critical. If this value is permanently
exceeded, there may be a defect in your mc². In this case, please contact the Technical
Hotline.
Info: Supply voltage
The supply voltage is 24 V in normal operation. If it is below 22 V, the power supply unit is
overloaded. This case occurs, for example, when the output current of the integrated booster
reaches the maximum of 6.5 A and at the same time many additional devices are connected to
the mc² which are supplied via the bus lines. In this case, you must reduce the current in the
booster circuit and/or the number of additional devices connected. In case of a permanent
overload, the power supply unit switches off automatically and switches on again after the
overload has been eliminated (hiccup mode).
