The MX10 as decoder update device (planned):
It is one of the basic tasks of a modern digital command station to support loading new software or
sound into the decoder. Therefore - at least for ZIMO decoders - no extra updating and sound loading
devices are needed (but still available - from ZIMO in the form of the MXULFA).
Loading new software or sound can be done directly via a connected flash drive or via the USB inter-
face (from the computer). The MX10 has the capacity of storing several decoder update collection files
or sound projects in its own flash memory and using them if needed.
Connecting external emergency stop buttons:
The AOS inputs (1 to 8) on the 16-pole pin connector can be used for different tasks, especially for
AOSs (automatic operation sequences).
By default, the inputs “in-5” to “in-8” are set to “report”. To these inputs, emergency stop buttons can be
connected. For this, there are 8 possibilities. Most of the time, you probably need to activate BCS
(broadcast stop) on track 1 - an emergency stop button for this case has to be connected to “in-7” and
for its activation connected to the system’s ground (ground accessible on the 16-pole pin connector or
on screw terminals).
Configuration of the AOS inputs see chapter 8.8, the MX10 menu, menu point AOS in/out Moni-
tor+Config.
Broadcast stop and OFF with the MX10 central command station:
In case of a broadcast stop, the BCS notification is dis-
played on the MX10 and each connected (tethered or
via radio) controller. The operation can only be resumed
(“ON”) from there.
The graphic beneath shows all possible emergency stop connections, to activate either BCS (broad-
cast stop) with Emergency or speed-step-0
*)
, or track-OFF separately for “track 1” or “track 2”.
*)BCS (broadcast stop) with Emergency means an immediate stop without braking distance (depending on motor
and gearbox it has low to no coasting, may lead to derailment), speed-step-0 stops the trains with the deceleration
times configured in the decoders (CV #4).
NOTE: in software versions, in which this function of the AOS inputs
is not yet available, the wire “Boo UE” on the ZIMO CAN socket can be used for the external
emergency stop.
MX10EC:
„in-1“ pin for the
Emergency stop but-
ton (to GROUND)!
MX10EC:
NOT possible due to
lack of inputs.
