18.0 How the DCS100 Manages Addresses
Your command station has a finite number of “slots” available in its memory.
The factory default is set for 22 addresses. Once the slots available in your
command station are full, the system will display the “
slot=max
” or “
FF
” mes-
sage to let you know that you need to release some locos if you want to select
and run others.
See Section 9.0 (OpSw 44) for details on changing the default
value and for how many slots the DCS100 command station can handle. The
section also explains how your command station handles purging of addresses
from the system to allow for more addresses to be selected and run.
18.1 Purging of addresses:
Purging is the process by which the DCS100 changes the status of decoders
that are either not being used or are unattended to make room for other
addresses to be selected and refreshed by the command station.
See Section 9.0
for setting the DCS100 OpSw to purge addresses.
