4.2 LocoNet Programming with the Intellibox
Programming from the Intellibox is possible after software version 1.3. All module input is performed
through the programming of the LocoNet Configuration Variables (LNCVs). The significance of each
LNCV is explained in Section 5
(Description of the LNCVs)
below.
4.2.1 Module Address Programming
Each Switch-Control uses its own unique module address for communication. A new module has a default
module address of 0. For proper communication, this value must always be changed if multiple Switch-
Controls are to be operated on the same layout. The module address is changed to a new value by
programming LNCV 0 to a value between 1 and 2047.
4.2.2 Programming the LNCVs
The procedure for programming the LocoNet Configuration Variables (LNCVs) is as follows:
1.
Connect the Switch-Control to its transformer and to LocoNet.
2.
On the Intellibox, press the [menu] key and then the [mode] key to reach the “Basic Settings”
menu.
3.
Using the [↓] key, scroll down until you reach the menu position “LocoNet Prog.”
4.
Use the [→] key to select the submenu “LocoNet Prog.” The display will show:
5.
Type the article/product number of the module (here 63400) and press the [enter] key. The display
will show:
6.
Type the present address of the module (0 for a new module) and press the [enter] key. The
display will show:
In the upper line, the article number of the module and the valid module address are shown. The
lower line states the number of the LNCV (0 for the Module Address) and its present valid value
(set to address 0).
7.
At the cursor position, type in the assigned number of the LNCV you would like to program.
8.
Press the [enter] key. The Intellibox reads out the LNCV, and the present value will be shown to
the right on the lower line of the display.
9.
Using the [→] key, position the cursor in the right display field and type the desired new value for
that LNCV using the numeric keys.
10.
Pressing the [enter] key will program the new value into that LNCV.
