Decoder-Update-und-Sound-Loading devices MXULF, MXULFA                                                       Page 9 

The 

MXTAPS

 (or 

MXTAPV

) is connected to the output 

“Schiene” of the 

MXULF

  via the double clamp 

“SCHIENE”, and to a track output of a ZIMO central command station or another digital command station. 
No additional supply is necessary.  

If needed, the SUSI plugs from 

MXULF

 and 

MXTAP

  

are connected: via “SUSI”, sound loading is essen-

tially faster than via “tracks”. For decoders with the interfaces “PluX”, “MTC”, “Next” as well as large-scale 
decoders, SUSI is automatically available at the “SUSI” interface of the 

MXTAP

 and can easily be trans-

ferred to the 

MXULF

 

 

 

Simultaneous sound loading

 

of more than one MX645P22 via “SUSI”: each decoder has to be con-

nected to an individual decoder-test-and-connection board MXTAP. Several 

connection boards

 can be 

connected

 in parallel

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Typical application: 

MXTAPV

 with decoder MX644D (MTC interface), connected to 

MXULFA

Supply of the combination via connection “Power” on the MXULFA, 2-pole cable from “Schiene” 
(MXULFA) to “SCHIENE” (MXTAP); on the MXULFA, a 

decoder update

 was just started (according to 

the display), the decoder software is loaded 

from a flash drive

     

 

 

 
  
 
 
 

MXTAPV

 (not MXTAPS) with connected large-scale decoder MX696, connected to 

MXULFA

; on the 

MXULFA 

sound loading

 was just started (according to the display), the sound project is loaded 

from a 

flash drive

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MXTAPV

 with decoder MX645P22 (PluX22), connected to 

MXULFA

additionally 

SUSI

 cable between MXULFA and MXTAPV, for 

faster sound loading via SUSI

, MXULFA 

in this case is controlled 

by computer

 (usually software ZSP - ZIMO Sound Programmer; USB cable to 

the computer; on the display information to communication between PC and MXULF). 

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MXTAPV

 with decoder MX648N18 (Next), connected to 

MXULFA

Via operating elements and display of the MXULFA, 

test operation

 is active, i.e. tests motor control, 

function outputs, sound of the decoder.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:  The 
supply via SU-
SI cable is suf-
ficient for SUSI 
sound loading! 

 

ATTENTION:

 only ONE connection can be used. Therefore, you can NOT connect more than one de-

coder to the number of interfaces of the 

MXTAPS

 or 

MXTAPV

MX644

 can 

NOT

 be loaded simultaneously!
