14. Programming
OPERATOR, EXPERT
One part of programming is
assigning
a specific
address
to a loco or accessory decoder. This is
done in “service mode programming’, which is only possible on the programming track. The other
part of programming involves writing or modifying the data content of configuration variables (CV’s)
to a decoder.

Safe programming through acknowledgment. Unconfirmed programming (certain degree of
reliability by s

HOW?
♦
After entering
“service mode” programming
(capital
“A”
in
display), the procedure starts with the prompt “ADDR = “, which
leaves two possible choices:
Punch in
an
address
and confirm with the
F key
(for a loco de-
coder) or the
W key
(for an accessory decoder), after which the
address is written to the loco (with installed decoder) sitting on the
programming track or to a decoder connected directly to the pro-
gramming output of the command station. A successful program-
ming is acknowledged on the same line in the display with
“ACK”.
An unsuccessful programming is indicated with an “Err …” mes-
sage.
ZIMO decoders initiate a
“hard reset”
when programmed to ad-
dress “0”. NOTE: This is only possible with ZIMO decoders. De-
coders of other manufacturers are reset by writing 8 to CV address
8. This procedure is also possible with ZIMO decoders giving two
choices to initiate a hard reset.
Pressing the
“A” key
immediately after the “ADDR …” line ap-
pears (without punching in an address), causes the command sta-
tion to read out the address of any decoder connected to the pro-
gramming output and displays it in the cab display, followed by the
confirmation
“READ”
. An error message (“Err ...”) appears if
read-out is not possible.
You can now overwrite an existing address, exit programming with
the “E” key or branch off to
CV programming
with the
“C” key
(see below).
