How to couple vehicles automatically
In general, coupling of vehicles is like coupling mechanical couplings, e.g. of loop and hook cou-
plers.
TCCS offers help that is especially attractive when combined with control software.
CV 173
(Bit 0) decides whether the locomotive, once coupled, stops automatically and waits for a different
speed step (as opposed to the speed step before the coupling process) or whether it continues its
course with the preset speed step. A 0 in this variable will decelerate the locomotive after a new car
has been coupled; a 1 will let the locomotive continue its course with the preset speed step.
In a real-life coupling procedure of a train coupling to a locomotive, the coupling locomotive push-
es the cars together so that, upon a restart - the locomotive moves before the load of the train takes
effect. This behaviour can be imitated via CV 146. The higher the entered number, the more the
