DIGITAL plus

15.10 Glossary

The most important terms of the

Digital plus by Lenz

®

system:

Locomotive
Address

The locomotive number, comparable to a telephone number

Features of the
locomotive
decoders

Address, starting voltage, acceleration rate and deceleration rate
are examples of features which can be customized within the
locomotive decoder. You will find detailed information on the
features of Digital plus locomotive decoders in their respective
manuals, available from your dealer or direct from Lenz Elektronik
GmbH ( send a stamped addressed C5 envelope).

Throttle position

The range between the minimum and maximum speed is divided
into individual sections. These sections we call Throttle positions.

Throttle-notches

Determines whether a locomotive is controlled with 14, 28 or 128
speed step mode.

Track format

The way in which the information is transmitted over the tracks.

Stack

"Index-card box" enabling fast selection of a locomotive address.

NMRA

National Model Railroad

Association

NMRA DCC
Standards and
RPs

A standard developed by the NMRA based on Lenz Digital plus,
which determines the transfer of information to locomotive
decoders and accessory decoders. These standards define the
interchange of decoders produced by different manufacturers.

X-Bus

High speed network for connecting DIGITAL plus input devices

X-Bus-input
devices

Devices by which the model railway of the Digital plus system is
controlled: handheld controls, Tower Cabs, computer interface
etc.
