Programming with DCC devices
Use the programming menu in your DCC Centre, to program the decoder CV’s in either
register, direct CV or page programming mode. It is also possible to program the decoder on
the main line using a DCC Centre.
Refer to the manual for your control centre for full instructions on the process.
Programming of long Addresses without the Programming Menu
For programming with a centre which does not support programming with an input menu, the
value for CV17 and CV18 must be calculated. Here is an example for programming the address
2000.
•
Divide the addresses by 256 (2000:256 = 7 remainder 208).
•
Take the result (7) and add it to 192.
•
Program this value (199) into CV17.
•
Program the remainder (208) into CV18.
•
Important
: Set Bit 5 of CV 29 to 1, so the decoder uses the long address.
Calculating the CV value
With CV29 and CV49 various characteristics of the decoder be established.
The required values are easily calculated using the CV table and simply addition.
Example
:
Normal travel direction
Value = 0
28 speed steps
Value = 2
Speed steps via CV 2, 5, 6
Value = 0
Short address
Value = 0
The total value is 2.
This value is factory default for CV29.
