7. Programming the locomotive decoder
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 decoder 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, CV#2, CV#3, CV#4 and
CV#29 (= register 1 to 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.
Programming with Motorola central units
Put the locomotive on a track oval or a track section connected to the
central unit’s track output. Make sure no other vehicle than the one you
intend to program is set on the track as the decoder inside this vehicle
might be programmed as well.
Please note:
If you use a central unit for both DCC and Motorola
format it is recommended to program the decoder in the DCC format.
After having finished programming the decoder it is possible to control
it in Motorola format as well.
Reset the central unit (by simultaneously pushing the buttons "stop"
and "go" for some time) or quickly switch the central unit off and on. First
enter the current address or the address "80" (e.g. if you do not know the
