If desired other settings can be changed in the Basic Settings
menu.
On-time for solenoids
When a solenoid is switched, two instructions are required, one to
switch the solenoid on, and the other in order to switch the solenoid
off again. If these Instructions are given to the center directly after
one another without a pause
the center will switch the solenoid on for
the adjustable “minimum switch-on time”. If however only a switch on
instruction is sent and no switch off instruction, the center independently
switches the solenoid off after the “maximum Switch-on time”, in order
to prevent an overload of the solenoid.
Number of Packets sent per instruction
If the DCC data format for the control of solenoids is used then the
number of packets sent by the center per solenoid instruction can
be configured here. Solenoid decoders that do not immediately
react can possibly be induced to operate by an increase of this
setting.
“STOP” – status
If this option is ticked the IB-COM powers up in the “STOP” state
with track power switched off.
