With digital control the controller in simple terms talks or sends commands to each locomotive individually.
The locomotive responds by basically doing what it is told! RailCom
®
which is a registered design and
development by Lenz GmBh allows the locomotives to talk to the controller. For example the locomotive can
return information to the controller such as speed and details on the load that is being pulled. This and much
more will be available in the future. At the time of writing these instructions the operating protocol for
RailCom
®
is still being developed, although like the Elite, products are being introduced onto the market to
support RailCom ® once the full protocol has been finalised.
It should be noted that the Hornby R8215 does not support RailCom
®
therefore if programming this decoder
or any other that does not support RailCom ® , the RailCom ® setting while programming a locomotive should be
set to “ Off ”. i.e. “ Loco ” – “ Unit ” – “ RailCom ” – “ RailCom Off ”.
