6. Simple Programming in Operational Mode
in
OP PROG
(on the main track;
for first time users
)
This chapter explains how configuration variables (CVs) can be read out and programmed.
In contrast to Service Mode programming (see previous chapter),
Operational Mode
programming dis-
cussed here is
NOT done on the programming track but rather on the “normal”
main track
(i.e. track 1
on the MX10 command station) under normal operating conditions. For this reason Operational Mode
programming is also called
“Programming On-the-Main”
(POM).
Start the programming (usually from the driving mode
LOCO
) with the
E- Key
and (shortly after) the
F- Key
Entry to ve-
hicle identification in
OP PROG
From the
OP PROG
menu screen, select:
TP-
Key
“Second identification” (has already been identified automatically at the beginning) and
display of important decoder data such as address, type, version, serial number
A- Key
starts
decoder address
programming; where the decoder address can be read out by
pressing the A-Key again (i.e. A + A),
the current decoder address will be
read
, or a
new address can be typed in and written into the decoder with the
F-
or
W- Key
; see below.
U- Key
starts
CV programming
; where CVs can be read out and programmed; see further
down in this chapter!
E- Key
ends
the Service Mode programming, switches to menu.
E- Key
pressing the E-Key
again switches to the operating mode
LOCO
with the same ad-
dress
that was active before the programming was started (unlike the
F- Key
, which
would activate the identified decoder address).
CVs are
programmed
by
or
read-out
by
Typing in a CV-number -
A- Key
-
A- Key
(twice)
Programming or read-out steps are acknowledged
by the system and displayed (see below).
An automatic line feed
occurs after each programming or
read-out step in order to immediately proceed with the
next CV.
Previously programmed lines can be returned to with the
scrolling wheel and edited with different values or CV
numbers.
The MX32 also shows the meaning of the individual
CVs, if known, in the first column in blue font. If the de-
coder was recognized as a ZIMO decoder (earlier with
TP-Key
), it shows more information than with another
decoder.
ACK
after programming a CV and confirmation by “RailCom“.
READ
after a CV read-
out with “RailCom“ (or other feedback system).
SENT
after programming a CV when feedback is not available.
NACK
after programming attempt without acknowledgement (although feedback system is active)
NO-R
after an unsuccessful read-out attempt (usually due to missing feedback).
E- Key
exits CV programming
(also:
Interrupting
a running process)
or exits
address programming, and returns to the menu screen.
E- Key
(again)
returns to the operating mode (usually
LOCO
).

Typing in a CV-number -

- Entering CV-value -
A-Key
Note: This happens much faster (starts automatically after entrance) in
OP PROG
than in
SERV PROG
but only if “RailCom” is operational; otherwise the message “No acknowledge-
ment in OP PROG from this decoder” will be shown.
