Switching on and off RailCom
In CV#29 (DCC format), or in register #7 (Motorola format), is defined
if RailCom is switched on or off. Usually, several configuration data are
saved here. The value "0" (for RailCom
off
) or "8" (for RailCom
on
) has
to be added to the value of the other configuration data. The settings
have the following effects:
RailCom off
Programming the function decoder area of the
FD-R
Basic
. Please note: A decoder with the same
address will be programmed as well!
RailCom on
Programming the RailCom area of the FD-R
Basic
. Please
note: The function decoder area of the FD-R
Basic
will
not be programmed!
Common CVs and registers
The following configuration variables (DCC format) or registers in (MM
format), are programmed jointly for the function decoder and the
RailCom area and cannot be changed separately for one of the areas:
§
basic address (CV#1 / register #01)
§
extended addresses (CV#17 and 18, register #04 and 05)
§
consist address (CV#19, register #06)
§
configuration data (CV#29, register #07)
Programming the function decoder area
In order to programm the function decoder area of the FD-R
Basic
RailCom must be switched
off
in CV#29 (DCC format) or in register #7
(Motorola format).
When the FD-R
Basic
is used as a function decoder with an address of it´s
own, it is programmed as used with locomotive and function decoders.
If it gets the same address as another decoder you must be careful not
to overwrite the other decoder´s settings by accident. If necessary you
can interrupt the decoder´s connection to a rail collector before
programming the FD-R
Basic
.
