Function outputs
The decoder has four function outputs to which consumers can be
connected based onto needs (e.g. lighting, smoke generator, sound
module, electrical coupling). The function outputs are switched in
DCC format using the function keys F0 to F12. In Motorola format,
the function outputs are switched with the function keys F0 to F4. The
function keys F5 to F8 can be switched via the function keys F1 to
F4, which are associated with a second Märklin® / Motorola address.
The functions F9 to F12 are not available in the Motorola format.
The assignment of the function keys to the function outputs of the
Decoder is selectable. It is also possible to assign multiple function
keys to a function output.
With the CV51 - Decoder configuration, the extended function map-
ping can be activated. This means that the mapping can be pro-
grammed depending on the direction. For example, an additional
direction dependent lighting can be connected.
Effects of the function outputs
For all function outputs the following effects can individually be set:
Dimming function
The voltage present at the output can be reduced by programming
(PWM).
Example: The bulbs of older locos, provided for analogue operation,
can be dimmed and thus do not have to be replaced after installation
of the decoder.
Dimming characteristic
A characteristic can be adjusted, which provides speed dependent
dimming by a specified value of the corresponding output. This
allows, for example, one of the driving position corresponding to
realize smoke or a switched or dimmed in-cab lighting while driving.
There are 15 levels available (speed step 0 - 14), the speed steps are
converted accordingly to 28 or 128 speed steps.
