| + | ===== Test results ===== | ||
| + | ^ Function ^ RCD-1 ^ RCD-8 ^ | ||
| + | | RailCom detection | Yes | Yes, but too slow. ((Not usable for auto mode.)) | | ||
| + | | Current detection | No | Yes ((Multiple repeated reports: One for the RailCom address and one for the occupancy; Rocrail filters it out.)) | | ||
| + | | Multiple RailCom decoders in one section | Address zero is reported. | No report. | | ||
| + | | POM CV read | Yes | Yes | | ||
| + | |||

| + | ===== POM CV Read Reporting ===== | ||
| + | If the used command station supports read CV on the main, like **[[: | ||
| + | < | ||

| + | </ | ||
| + | Those values will be shown in the Rocview programming dialog.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | ===== Considerations ===== | ||
| + | * Limitation of 24 detectors per RC-Link. (3 x RCD-8...) | ||
| + | * Extra bus wiring; Max. length is not known. (RS485) | ||
| + | * If no RailCom addresses are detected, or only seldom, the booster wires should be swapped on the RCD-x unit. | ||
| + | * The CV POM read does not report the CV number but only the value so the host program must save the number and hopes the read match to it. | ||

| + | ===== Startup ===== | ||
| + | After setting up the connection to RC-Link the following messages will confirm a valid configuration: | ||

| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Address and Placing Reporting ===== | ||
| + | If all components are connected according the manufacturer manuals the reporting of decoder addresses will take place as soon a loco runs in a detected track section: | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | 20100219.090833.065 r9999c rclinkre ORcLink | ||
| + | 20100219.090845.826 r9999c rclinkre ORcLink | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | RCD-1 reported the Lenz Köf with address 4958 in block b1:\\ | ||
| + | {{: | ||
| + | The direction represents the real placing of the loco on the tracks. Running through a reversing loop will swap this flag.\\ | ||
| + | This direction flag is only displayed but not processed to determine the placing to avoid conflicts with the software placing flag in Rocrail.\\ | ||

| + | If the block is free, or the occupying loco is idle, the matching loco with the reported Identifier is set in this block: | ||
