Default Description
After reaching the final position (i.e. after "Panto lift") the
Panto should move slightly up and down a few more
times. CV #178 sets the amplitude of this oscillation
(more precisely the first one)
= 0: no oscillation
= 50: sensible initial setting, vary from there.

Function assignment
NOTE
:
If a servo control line
shares its connec-
tion with another
function (e.g. SUSI
or input) for optional
use, a value >0 in
CV #181, #182, ...
means switching to
servo control line.
This concerns with
"small" decoders
(track N ... H0) the
"official" SUSI pins,
which are switched
to servo with CVs
#181, #182 (SUSI
no longer present),
with MS950, MS955
servos 3 + 4, with
MS990 7 + 8.

= 90: Servo dependent on loco direction
forward = servo left; reverse = servo right
= 91: Servo dependent on loco direction and standstill
i.e. Servo on the right at standstill and direction
forward, otherwise servo on the left
= 92: Servo dependent on loco direction and standstill
i.e. Servo on the right at standstill and direction
backwards, otherwise servo on the left
= 93: Servo dependent on standstill or cruising
i.e. Servo on the right at standstill, servo on the left
at cruising; direction without effect.

configured in CV#186.

Special assignment
for live steam en-
gines
0
= 1: Steam loco with one servo in operation;
Speed and direction of travel by slider, center
position means stop.
= 2: Servo 1 proportional on speed regulator
Servo 2 for direction.
= 3: like 2, however: Direction-servo is automatically in
“neutral” if speed is 0 and F1 = ON;
At speed step > 0:
If direction-servo is engaged.
NOTE
to CV #185 = 2 or 3:
Servo 1 is adjustable with CV #162, #163 (end-
positions), by using the corresponding values, it is
also possible to change the direction.
Servo 2 is adjustable with CV #166, #167.

The decoder ID (serial number) is automatically entered
during production: The first byte and half of the second
byte denotes the decoder type; the rest contain a serial
number.
The decoder ID is primarily used for automatic address
assignment when an engine is placed on the layout track
as well as in combination with the “load code” for “coded”
sound projects (see CVs #260 - #263).
