6.4 Overseeing a magnetic accessory through two lamps
Often, a pair of lamp outputs of the Switch-Control will be used to display the position of an accessory. To
control a pair of lamp outputs in this way, the appropriate LNCVs must be programmed as described in
Sections 5.4 and 5.5 above.
In the example below, the address of the accessory is 1157 and the lamps on the TDCB for this accessory
are connected to outputs 8 and 9 of the Switch-Control. Lamp output 8 will indicate the “red” position and
lamp output 9 will indicate “green.”
Example:
Switching accessory address 1157 to position “red” turns Lamp 8 ON and Lamp 9 OFF:
LNCV 18 = 1157 0
LNCV 29 = 1157 0
And switching accessory address 1157 to position “green” turns Lamp 9 ON and Lamp 8 OFF:
LNCV 19 = 1157 1
LNCV 28 = 1157 1
6.5 Accessing a route in the Intellibox using a single key
It is possible to activate routes stored in the Intellibox (equipped with Memory Mode software) through
specific accessory commands sent from any LocoNet device, including the Switch-Control. The Switch-
Control is programmed using the appropriate LNCVs as described in Section 5.6 above. The following
accessory commands can be used to access each of the 48 routes stored in the Intellibox:
Accessory Address
Position
Intellibox Route
2001
Red
Route 1; Group 1
2001
Green
Route 2; Group 1
2002
Red
Route 3; Group 1
2002
Green
Route 4; Group 1
…
…
…
2024
Red
Route 15; Group 3
2024
Green
Route 16; Group 3
Note that there should not be any accessories on the layout assigned to an address within this range, or they
will also be activated when the routes are accessed.
Example:
To access Intellibox Route 4 of Group 1 using a button connected to input 5 of the Switch-Control:
LNCV 155 = 2002 1
6.6 Accessing routes in the Intellibox using Start&End key combinations
Multiple keys, in different combinations as Start and End keys, can access different routes stored in the
Intellibox.
The figure above shows a simple station area with two tracks. The turnouts and signals of the station will
be controlled by routes stored in Routes 1 to 4 of Group 1 of the Intellibox. The routes will be accessed by
issuing special accessory commands from the Switch-Control using Start/End key combinations. The keys
T1 to T4 are connected to the inputs 1 to 4 of the Switch-Control in order.
