Massoth DiMAX Navigator connected to the MX10
DiMAX Navigator controllers can ONLY be operated as radio modules. Therefore the DiMAX radio re-
ceiver (e.g. “model for XPressNet & LocoNet, MS8130101) is connected to the XNET socket of the
MX10.
A DiMAX radio receiver has 3 connection sockets. Connect the socket in the middle named “XPRESS-
NET” via a 4-pole standard XpressNet cable or a 6-pole ZIMO CAN cable to the “XNET” socket on the
central command station MX10. Using a ZIMO CAN cable, the outer two wires are not used.
With Massoth devices there is no handover/takeover procedure as with ZIMO. With
“XNET control”
the ZIMO MX32 indicates in the top bar that a third-party device influences the active address via
XpressNet. In this situation, the changes made by DiMAX concerning speed steps or function keys, are
shown on the MX32. The MX32 can control the address active on the DiMAX immediately, without
takeover.
ROCO MultiMAUS connected to the MX10:
The ROCO MultiMaus is connected via a “normal” 6-pole CAN cable to the XNET socket on the MX10.
If MX32(FU) are used additionally, those are connected to the ZIMO CAN or operated via radio. The
MX32
’s function is not changed, as far as no MX8 and/or MX9 modules are connected additionally to
the MX10’s CAN. If this is the case, the MX32 run in the “old” CAN protocol and therefore in the “MX1
operation” which only supports 12 functions and turns off RailCom.
If MX8 and/or MX9 shall be used in this constellation and the MX32 shall retain all their functions, you
have to use an adapter for the XNET socket, which also hosts out the CAN2. Such an adapter can be
manufactured by ZIMO [email protected] on request.
This is also valid for all other controllers operated via XNET, which do not give access to the CAN2
socket.
ATTENTION:
In case a third-party controller (not ZIMO) is connected to the MX10, the parameters
for STOPP & OFF have to be changed in the MX10 menu: when pressing the STOPP key, both
track outputs (1 + 2) have to be switched to broadcast stop.
