INSTRUCTION MANUAL CENTRAL COMMAND STATION MX10, MX10EC Page17
Massoth DiMAX Navigator on the MX10
DiMAX Navigator controllers can ONLY be operated as radio modules. Therefore the DiMAX radio re-
ceiver (e.g. “model for XPressNet & LocoNet, MS8130101) is connected to the XNET socket of the
MX10.
Attention: There are differently built radio receivers with the same name and type number - only the
newerr (current) version is working in this instruction manual. Unfortunately, this is only possble open-
ing the device.
A DiMAX radio receiver has 3 connection sockets. Connect the socket in the middle named
“XPRESSNET” via a 4-pole standard XpressNet cable or a 6-pole ZIMO CAN cable to the “XNET”
socket on the central command station MX10. Using a ZIMO CAN cable, the outer two wires are not
used.
With Massoth devices there is no handover/takeover procedure as with ZIMO. The MX32 shows in the
upper bar the note “
XNET control”
,
in case another device controls the train via XpressNet. In this
situation, the changes made by DiMAX concerning speed steps or function keys, are shown on the
MX32. The MX32 can control the address active on the DiMAX immediately, without takeover.
The ROCO MultiMAUS on the MX10
The ROCO MultiMaus is connected via a “normal” 6-pole CAN cable to the XNET socket on the MX10.
If MX32(FU) are used additionally, those are connected to the ZIMO CAN or operated via radio. The
MX32’s function is not changed, as far as no MX8 and/or MX9 modules are connected additionally to
the MX10’s CAN. If this is the case, the MX32 run in the “old” CAN protocol and therefore in the “MX1
operation” which only supports 12 functions and turns off RailCom.
If MX8 and/or MX9 shall be used in this constellation and the MX32 shall retain all their functions, you
have to use an adapter for the XNET socket, which also hosts out the CAN2. Such an adapter can be
manufactured by ZIMO [email protected] on request.
This is also valid for all other controllers operated via XNET, which do not give access to the CAN2
socket.
ATTENTION
: In case a third-party controller (not ZIMO) is connected to the MX10, the parameters
for STOP & OFF have to be changed in the MX10 menu: when pressing the STOP key, both track
outputs (1 + 2) have to switched to broadcast stop.
