Consists address is used for trains with more than one motor decoder (and motors). The Command
Station must be able to send individual commands as well as global commands to the decoders in the multi-
motor trains.
The Lokommander II decoders support the Advanced Consist functions. To activate this feature, the
consist address must be set in CV19. When the content of CV19 is different from 0, the decoder will
perform functions that are defined in CV21 and CV22 if they are transmitted to the consist address. All other
functions will be performed while they are sent to the base address (defined in CV1 or CV17/CV18).
Functions in CV21 (F8-F1), CV22 (F12-F9, F0R, F0F) will not be performed if they are transmitted to
the base address. For bit value
“
0
”
the function will only be enabled with the individual address, for value 1
the function will only be enabled with the consist address (see Chapter 25).
Example: if we want to use F0F, F0R, F3 and F4 with consist address, the following values are to be
written in CV21 = 12 (00001100) and in CV22 = 3 (00000011).Speed and direction commands will be sent
to all decoders within the same consist. In this way the headlights (of locomotives) and taillight of carriages
can be turned on and off, based on the direction commands sent to the consist addresses, while the interior
lights in different carriages can be turned on and off based on their individual base addresses.
Only functions F0, F1-F12 can be used in consist mode. The speed steps setting in CV29 must match the
speed step setting of the command station for both base and consist addresses.
