Consist Inertia Control
CV 23, Consist Acceleration Rate
CV 24, Consist Deceleration Rate
CVs 23 (Consist Acceleration Rate) and 24 (Consist Deceleration Rate) can
be used to increase or decrease the acceleration and braking responses of
SoundCar‑equipped models when part of a consist. CV 23 calculates a new
acceleration rate for the consist by adding the value of CV 23 to the value
of CV 3 (Baseline Acceleration Rate). Likewise, CV 24 calculates a new
braking rate for the consist by adding the value of CV 24 to the value of CV 4
(Baseline Deceleration Rate). When CV 19 (Consist Address) is set to 0, CVs
23 and 24 are inactive.
CVs 23 and 24 may be set to any value from ‑127 to +127. Positive values
produce slower throttle responses, while negative values result in quicker
throttle responses.
If the sum of the values of CV 23 and CV 3 exceeds 255, then the final
consist acceleration rate will be set to the maximum value of 255. If the sum
of CVs 23 and 3 is negative, the final consist acceleration rate will be set to
the minimum value of 0.
To set a positive value, simply program the CV with the desired value from 0
to 127. To set a negative value, first remove the negative sign from the value
and add 128. Thus, to program a value of ‑5, add 5 to 128 (5 + 128 = 133),
and program the total of 133 into the appropriate CV.
Notes
:
A value of 128 is equivalent to a setting of 0 and will have no effect.
When operating Intelligent Consisting, it is best to leave the values in CVs
23 and 24 at 0 unless all of the locomotives pulling the cars are set up using
advanced consisting.
