The information of this window cannot be changed!
Vehicle data
The
TCCS
uses information that is used by the train bus. This information gets displayed at the push of a button and can
also be changed. The information has the following meaning:
Vmax V
Each vehicle can limit a train set’s maximum speed. This limitation has to be set separately for
each direction of travel. V = travelling forward, R = travelling in reverse
Vmax R
Weight
The vehicle’s weight is indicated in metric tons and is used for a dynamic mass simulation.
Capacity
In order to achieve an acceleration of the train that takes the train’s mass into account, the para-
meters engine capacity and vehicle mass have to be entered.
Coupling V
Number of activations of the coupling head in the front
Coupling R
Number of activations of the coupling head at the back
The prototype data can easily be found on the internet by entering keywords such as " BR50“.
Update
Once the vehicle is hooked to the Decoder Manager via the coupling, the unit will automatically establish a connection.
When the menu “Update” is selected, the display will indicate the current version of the connected decoder as well as
the version that can be transmitted to the vehicle at the push of a button.
If there is no valid application in the connected decoder, the decoder type has to be selected manually. An incorrect se-
lection does not influence the connected decoder. Please re-enter the correct data.
Before updating, please follow the hints in chapter “The potential power supply options”.
System data
The Decoder Manager can currently be set to one of the following languages: German, English or Dutch. Additional
languages can be supported if needed.
The Decoder Manager stores the application for all T4T decoders. The stored versions will be displayed on this page.
In order to update new applications for individual decoder types, consult page 8 for the required procedure.
Decoupling
So that the coupling bus connection can be easily disconnected after a decoder maintenance, disconnect the connection
with the push of a button. However, due to technical reasons, a locomotive cannot the uncoupled in this way. Only the
hook of the coupling that is connected to the Decoder Manager will open.

Please note that bits may have to be activated in CV 173 of the locomotive decoders!
