LokPilot V3.0 M4
Each M4 decoder has its own speed curve. However, it is only
accessible with an M4 capable central unit or with the ESU
LokProgrammer.
10.4. Changing between Operating Modes
You may change from a digital to an analogue sector of your
layout „on-the-fly“ at any time. The locomotive behaves as
follows:
10.4.1. Changing from Digital to Analogue DC
When the decoder enters the analogue DC sector, it monitors
the polarity of the track voltage. If the polarity (and the resulting
direction of travel as per NEM) matches the the direction of travel
in digital mode the locomotive will continue without stopping at
the speed that corresponds to the analogue voltage.
If the polarity does not match than the behaviour depends on
the settings in CV 51.
If the DC brake mode is active in CV 51 then the locomotive will
slow down to a stop with the programmed deceleration, if not,
then the locomotive will change the direction and back out of
the analogue sector. Chapter 10.5 provides detailed info about
brake sectors and the appropriate settings.
10.4.2. Changing from Digital to Analogue AC
If a locomotive travels into an analogue AC sector, it will continue
onwards in the same direction at a speed corresponding to the
analogue track voltage.
10.4.3. Changing from Analogue to Digital (directional bit)
When entering the digital sector the locomotive compares the
current direction of movement with the digital signals arriving
via the track: If the actual direction matches the one as per the
digital signal, the locomotive continues onwards at a speed
corresponding with the digital signals.
Does the direction not match the commands from the digital
system, then the behaviour depends on the settings in the
„directional bit“ (also refer to chapter 14.1. for more details):
If the directional bit has been set, then the decoder ignores the
directional commands from the central unit, the locomotive
continues in the same direction; only the speed will be adjusted
according to the commands from the central unit. Therefore,
the actual direction of movement does not match the direction
as intended by the central unit for the time being; however, this
changes once a change-of-direction-command is activated at the
central unit.
If the directional bit has not been set, then the locomotive slows
down and stops according to the programmed deceleration,
changes its direction and returns to the conventional sector. What
happens next is described in chapter 10.4.1 resp. 10.4.2.
