8. Programming the FD-R
Basic
The FD-R
Basic
can be used both as a function decoder and as a RailCom
transmitter in addition to a locomotive or function decoder that is not
compatible to RailCom. The settings for it´s function as a function
decoder and the settings of the decoder it serves as a RailCom
transmitter are saved in two seperate memory areas, the function
decoder area and the RailCom area.
To take over the data into the RailCom area from DCC decoders or
Motorola decoders with register programming, the decoder and the
RailCom area of the FD-R
Basic
are programmed together. With Motorola
decoders without register programming for instance, the address can
be saved in the RailCom area of the FD-R
Basic
.
In DCC format it is possible to program register or configuration
variables (CVs), main track programming can be used as well. In
Motorola format the settings are saved in registers.
Programming with DCC central units
You can programm the configuration variables (CV) of the module from
the digital central unit. See the chapter in the manual of your central
unit where the byte wise programming of configuration variables (CVs)
is explained. With central units that allow only register-programming it
is only possible to program the variables CV#1 and CV#29 (= register 1
and 5).
Programming with the Central Station and the Mobile Station
With the Central Station or the Mobile Station of Märklin* you can
program the registers, but the value to be set is limited to 80. Select
the article no. 29750 from the locomotive database and program the
decoder as described for this article in the Central Station´s or Mobile
Station´s manual.
