5. Features of your MasterControl
MasterControl
You can use your MasterControl to
enter parameters of the digital control and to
control operation on your whole model railway layout.
Locomotive database
The MasterControl has its own database to store parameters you apply to a locomotive’s address,
which are:
data format,
amount of speed levels and
(locomotive’s) name
Section 6.1. Adjusting parameters in the locomotive menu
Data formats
The MasterControl is a multi protocol control for your model railroad and capable of sending data
in the following formats:
Motorola I („old“ Motorola format)
Motorola II („new“ Motorola format)
DCC (complying to NMRA standards)
Section 11. Background information
RailCom
The MasterControl supports the revertive standard RailCom. The MasterControl allows you to enter
commands to read out the CV values of decoders compatible to RailCom.

27 speed levels w ith the Moto rola fo rmat
The Motorola format standardly supports 14 speed levels. Your MasterControl additionally offers
two methods to extend those speed levels to 27.
Speed level mode 27a: Some decoders support 27 speed levels using the so called interspeed
levels. To reach an interspeed level you switch to a higher speed level and immediately switch
back. A power failure will cause the loss of this speed information data. Your MasterControl
simulates those 27 speed levels and shows them in the display. The MasterControl creates the
interspeed levels by regularly switching to a higher speed level for a short time. This ensures that
the speed levels are correctly set even after a power failure. Normally, the change between speed
levels is not visible.
Speed level mode 27b: Using free bit combinations in the function’s double bit helps realizing
proper 27 speed levels. The decoder must support this. When controlling locomotive decoders
that only support 14 speed levels or the speed level mode 27a with speed level mode 27b, only
every second set speed level actually changes speed.
