7. program Have a look at the explanations for CV 29 in the table in chap ter 20 1 firstly decide which options should be active The col umn Value has two numbers for each option If the option is switched off the value is 0 Otherwise it is a number between 1 and 128 Add all the values for the respective options to arrive at the correct value for this CV Example Let us assume you want to run trains with the ECoS in DCC mode with 128 speed steps Analogue detection should be active because you also want to drive your locomotive in ana logue mode All other options are not active Therefore you must write the value 6 in CV 29 0 2 4 0 6 8 2 Programming with popular Digital Systems As already explained it is not possible to program every type of LokPilot with every command station in the market This chapter explains which options are available 8 2 1 Programming with DCC Systems LokPilot decoders support all NMRA programming modes as there are the programming track modes Direct Mode Register Mode Paged Mode and the mode for the main POM Programming on the Main Programming on the Main enables you to program your decod ers comfortably without having to remove the locomotive form he layout In this case the command station talks directly to the decoder by using its locomotive address for instance Locomo ive number 50 write the value 7 into CV 31 Thus knowing the locomo

9. hat the locomotive jerks a little after having stopped or if your are simply unsatisfied with the driving performance then you should adjust the load compensation of your LokPilot decoder Due to the large number of different types of motors and drive systems there is no single setting that suits all Load compensation can be influenced with 5 CVs Firstly check if the irregular performance is due to any mechanical aults Bent driving rods are one common cause When you turn off load compensation set CV56 to 0 and the problem persists hen it is likely there is a mechanical fault 11 1 1 Parameter for frequently used Motors We have listed the correct settings for the most common motors in table fig 14 If a motor is missing it means either that the default settings produce good results or that we have not yet suf ficient experience about these motors Set the suitable values and test drive your locomotive 11 1 2 Adjustments for other Motors Fine Tuning Unfortunately the motors available in the market have consider able variations due to tolerances This is even true for the same type Therefore LokPilot decoders enable you to adapt load com pensation to the motor with CVs 53 54 and 55 If the recom mended values above do not lead to acceptable results you can further optimise them Especially for the slow driving sector speed step 1 the LokPilot V4 0 with CV 52 to change the gain control This helps to avoid

23. LokPilot decoder 8 1 Adjustable Properties of Decoders The hardware determines some features such as the number of function outputs as well as the maximum permitted current of the motor output and therefore they are not programmable Nevertheless there are plenty of possibilities to influence the be haviour of the LokPilot decoder by adjusting software governed properties There is at least one memory space within the decoder reserved or each adjustable parameter where numbers or letters can be stored You could visualize the storage spaces as index cards in a large file box In order to enable you to find the right card again they all have numbers and or names outlining the properties of this par icular card such as locomotive address or maximum speed Then imagine that you can write information onto these cards Ad justing the settings means nothing else but erasing one entry and replacing it with another Moreover you could do that at any time However you cannot write onto every card some bits of informa ion like the manufacturer s code are firmly encoded Thus you can determine the content of the storage spaces in the decoder even during operation and of course the decoder will fol low the instructions Via the procedure known as Programming you can enter the desired data into the storage spaces 8 1 1 Configuration Variabl s CVs LokPilot decoders follow the CV concept developed in the

US CV ands for Configuration Variable and indicates that the storage cells described above are not only variable but they also determine the behaviour of the decoder 8 1 1 1 Standardisation in the NMRA The NMRA National Model Railroad Association has defined which CVs determine certain parameters of a decoder The DCC standard allocates fixed numbers for certain CVs adherence is obligatory This greatly simplifies things for the user since decod ers of most manufacturers comply with this standard and there fore dealing with CVs requires the same process with the same CV numbers regardless of the manufacturer The DCC concept permits to enter numbers ranging from 0 to 255 into CVs Each CV carries only one number While the position number is predetermined the range of values may vary Not all CVs must accept values ranging from 0 to 255 The permitted values for LokPilot decoders are listed in the table in chapter 20 1 showing all available CVs u 8 1 1 2 Bits and Bytes Most CVs contain numbers CV 1 for instance contains the lo comotive address This can be any number between 1 and 127 While most CVs expect numbers to be entered some others are rather like a collection point of various switches that admin ister different functions in one CV mainly on or off CVs 29 and 49 are good examples you must calculate the value for these CVs yourself The value depends on which settings you want to

UX3 and AUX4 6 8 3 1 LokPilot with 21MTC Interface LokPilot decoders with 21MTC interface have two additional out puts besides the 4 standard outputs namely AUX3 and AUX4 Since they are pure logic outputs it is not possible to connect any external loads directly External power transistors are required Connect AUX3 and AUX4 via the interface there are no wire leads In terms of their functionality AUX3 and AUX4 are equal to the other outputs ESU offers an appropriate adapater board art no 51968 with transistors 6 8 4 Suitable Smoke Generators Unfortunately it is not an easy task to find the right smoke genera tor for each locomotive The amount of smoke generated depends on the following factors a Track voltage The track voltage varies depending on the command station Therefore it is possible that a locomotive generates smoke when driven by one digital system but does not generate any smoke with another system Even 1V variation makes a big difference b Type and tolerance of the Seuthe smoke generator and the smoke distillate Seuthe smoke generators have considerable production toler ances Therefore it is possible that one unit works perfectly well while another does not Type of distillate and filling level have an influence as well c Setting the decoder output For correct smoking action you should set the AUX output to Dimmer as well as full Brightness More info in chapter 12 d Co
