Tip: Direction dependent taillights with special effect CVs:
With the NMRA function mapping it is only possible to have function F0 directional because it was in-
tended for the headlights, so they automatically switch between “front” and “rear” when changing direc-
tion. All Functions F1 - F12 are controlled independent of the direction of travel.
The special effect CVs #125 - #
132, #159 and #160 (see chapter “3.21 Effects for function outputs (US
and other lighting effects, smoke generators, uncouplers, etc.)
…”), are each assigned to one function
output (up to FO8), and enable having more direction dependent functions. Therefore, only the direction-
bits within the effect CVs are used, the actual effect bits are configured to 0.
EXAMPLE 1: Two
red taillights
are connected to function outputs FO1 and FO2 (front and rear). Both
are to be actuated with F1 but should also change with direction. Therefore,
CV #35 = 12 (for F1, bit 2 for FO1 and bit 3 for FO2), additionally, the
Effect CVs CV #127 = 1 (for FO1) and CV #128 = 2 (for FO2).
This way, FO1 is only activated when driving forward, FO2 only when driving backwards (only if F1 is
activated).
EXAMPLE 2: Contrary to example 1 where the red taillights were switched independent of the white
ones depending on the direction, in this example the headlights and taillights (read AND white) are
switched ON/OFF together at the proper end of the locomotive with F0 or F1 (depending on which end
the loco is coupled to the train) -
“unilateral light suppression”.
This can be done as follows:
Connect: White front headlights connected to function output “front headlights” /
Red front headlights to function output FO2 /
White rear headlights to function output FO1 /
Red rear taillights to function output “rear headlights” (!).
CV #33 = 1 and CV #34 = 8 front white headlights on F0forw and front red taillights on F0rev!
CV #35 = 6 (both white headlights as well as red taillights in the rear on F1!)
CV #126 = 1 / CV #127 = 2
(Direction dependence for rear white and red lights by means of “Special Effects” CVs).
The “Swiss mapping” is a function mapping that allows the
loco lighting
to be used as is required by
Swiss locomotives, which is of course also useful for locos of other countries.
The purpose of the "Swiss mapping" is to switch the various states of the locomotive lighting (turning on
and dimming individually) with different function keys, i.e. for situations like driving a single locomotive,
cars coupled on driver’s cab 1, or at the driver's cab 2, push-pull, shunting, etc.
Using this relatively complex method is, of course, only worthwhile if the vehicle is equipped with many
independently connected lights (or LEDs) and the decoder offers as many function outputs, this should
be at least 6. ZIMO decoders (except for few miniature decoders) offer indeed between 6 and 10 function
outputs, large-scale decoders even more.
The desired lighting states are defined by
a total of 17
CV groups, each group containing 6 CVs.
(i.e.
102 CVs; CV #430 - #507 + #800 - #823). The principle is simple, in that the first CV of each group
contains the number (1 to 28) for a function key F1 - F28, and the other CVs define which function
outputs are to be switched with this key, each dependent on the direction of travel.

With the F-key defined here, the function outputs defined in

The ”normal function mapping” of the M-key defined here
shall be deactivated (i.e. the corresponding outputs like
headlights are turned off), if the F-key is turned on.
Bit 7 = 1: additionally, the outputs listed under A1 and A2
should only switch ON if F and M key are ON.
Bit 6 = 1: The M-key outputs shall not be turned OFF if the
F-key is ON and driving forward.
Bit 5 = 1: The M-key outputs shall not be turned OFF if the
F-key is ON and driving backwards.

: is an often-used value for CV #431, because
F0 (=29) is usually defined as M-key with bit 7 = 1. F0
then acts as a general ON/OFF key.
= 255 (Special
high-beam
setting!): the FOs defined in the
following four CVs are switched to full intensity, if they
are controlled via the "normal function mapping", and
dimmed with CV #60; this function is used, for example,
to switch the headlights of a Swiss locomotive to high-
beam, without switching the white taillight to high-beam.
Depending on CV #399: High beam is only switched on if
the speed is higher than the value given in this CV (255
step mode).
