Product description
Our RhB TYPE L signals are detailed reproduction of the characteristic signals this famous swiss narrow-gauge railway. Whether you just want a piece of swiss charm or a complete integration of a route, the RhB signals are the perfect choice for this to your scenery. Each signal was made with the utmost care and love designed in detail to ensure the characteristic to perfectly show the aesthetics of the RhB signals.
The signals are thanks tot he fully integrated decoder easy to connect and
easily modular can be integrated at any point in the system.
this is possible with the digital decoder, the signal can also be used
analogue there however, only the images are red and green to select. Digital
offers several options signal sequences, see following pages.
The following assignment of the switch addresses for the circuit diagram, each address can switch 2 images. Simply set unnecessary addresses to 0. This is especially true if you have umbrellas smaller than 5 have and cut off lamps. Star-shaped lamps show flashing lights. The frequency is adjustable as well as switch-back times (e.g. automatic switch back to red after manual green Command).
Halt (FB0), Adr 1 (CV20,21) + Adr 2 (CV22,23), DCCext = 0, 69
Freie Fahrt (FB1), Adresse 1 (CV20,21), DCCext = 16
40 km/h (FB2), Adresse 2 (CV22,23), DCCext = 4, 36
60/65 km/h (FB3), Adresse 3 (CV24,25), DCCext = 6
kurze Fahrt (FB6), Adresse 3 (CV24,25), DCCext = 3, 35
defektes Signal, Adresse 4 (CV26,27), DCCext = 64, 66
Hilfssignal, Adresse 4 (CV26,27), DCCext = 68
Automatic train control
In addition to the simple train control by our relay card (0016) that simply turns off the power there is an even more elegant solution with our mXion MFB module (4200). This creates in one separate dividing track that only supplied by him digital DCC brake commands so that everyone incoming trains stopped automatically become and stand up to the prototype slowly come and slowly accelerate again after the section either with free travel or slow travel (adjustable) is released. elegant and simpler the addresses of the signal to the same of the lay MFB so that they connect in parallel.
The MFB offers several addresses for this free travel, slow travel or shunting run (with automatic downshift).
The go-addresses at the MFB are:
CV143/144; CV151,152; CV157,158
The slow speed addresses at MFB are:
CV146/147; CV153,154; CV159,160
The shunting addresses at the MFB are:
CV149,150; CV155,156; CV161,162
Compare the instructions of the MFB page 34f.
Programming lock
To prevent accidental programming to prevent CV 15/16 one programming lock.
Only if CV 15 = CV 16 is a programming possible. Changing CV 16 changes
automatically also CV 15.
With CV 7 = 16 can the programming lock reset.
STANDARD VALUE CV 15/16 = 215
Programming options
This decoder supports the following programming types: bitwise, POM and CV
read & write and register-mode and programming switch.
There will be no extra load for programming.
In POM (programming on maintrack) the programming lock is also supported. The
decoder can also be on the main track programmed without the other decoder to
be influenced. Thus, when programming the decoder can not be removed.
NOTE: To use POM without others decoder must affect your digital center POM to specific decoder adresses
Programming binary values
Some CV’s (e.g. 29) consist of so-called binary values. The means that several
settings in a value. Each function has a bit position and a value. For
programming such a CV must have all the significances can be added. A disabled
function has always the value 0.
EXAMPLE: You want 28 drive steps and long loco address. To do this,you must set the value in CV 29 2 + 32 = 34 programmed.
Programming switch adress
- Switch addresses consist of 2 values.
For addresses < 256 the value can be directly in address low. The high address is 0. If the address is > 255 this is as follows (for example address 2000):
2000 / 256 = 7,81, address high is 7
2000 – (7 x 256) = 208, address low is then 208.
DCCext Commands
DCCext commands are supported by the decoder. This makes it possible
that the signal commands be sent directly to and address. The decoder thereby
receives the command (e.g. Sh0 or Sh1) directly as a switching command. You
need so only one address. This address is separate adjustable via CV. Ist up
tot he user whether the manual turnout addresses are all deactivated (set to
0). or run in parallel. The DCCext commands are for the individual commands
listed next to the signal images. DCCext supported by our headquarters with
Z21® app.
There you choose the Z21® signals that match the model and mode are.
Reset functions
The decoder can be reset via CV 7. Various areas can be used for this purpose.
Write with the following values:
- 11 (basic functions)
- 16 (programming lock CV 15/16)
- 33 (switch outputs)
