4.3. Releasing the functions
The function outputs can be released by pushing the function keys. The
mapping of the outputs to the function keys is arbritary. It is possible to
assign several function keys and switching inputs to one output.
Output
DCC format
MM format
AUX1 to AUX3
F0 to F28
F0 to F4
4.4. Feedback with RailCom**
RailCom is a log for bi-directional communication in digital model
railway layouts controlled in DCC-format. It allows e.g. the feedback of
the address and the CV values from the decoder to the digital central
unit or to special receivers (so-called detectors). The decoders must be
designed to send the RailCom messages.
When so programmed, the FD-R Basic 2 sends
on channel 1: continuously its (basic, extended or consist) address
(so-called RailCom broadcast datagramm) and
on channel 2: a CV message after a DCC CV read-out command.
It can be programmed that way it transfers after a CV read-out
command
the CV values programmed for its operation as a function decoder or
the CV values corresponding to those of an added vehicle decoder
not compatible to RailCom.
Sending RailCom messages is only possible in layouts with a DCC signal
on the rails. It is not possible to use the RailCom-function in a pure
Motorola environment.
