4. Operation overview
4.1. Modes of operation
Digital operation
The locomotive decoder is a multiple protocol decoder, that can operate
with and automatically recognise both DCC or Motorola formats.
The number of addresses is dependant on the format being used:
Motorola-Format: 255 addresses,
DCC-Format: 127 Basis-addresses or 10.239 extended addresses.
In the DCC format the decoder can be driven in all speed levels (14, 28
or 128). In the Motorola format the decoder can be driven in 14 or 27
speed levels. Driving all 27 speed levels can be done only with central
units which support this mode (e.g. MasterControl). With central units
which allow 14 speed levels only, it is only possible to select every
second speed level.
Programming the decoders is done:
in Motorola format by setting the registers,
in DCC format by setting the configuration variables (direct
programming, DCC conform) or by POM (programming on main =
main track programming).
