+ | The DCS100 is a LocoNet Command Station which features 120 slots and an extra Programming Track connection.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ===== | ||
+ | * **The LocoNet connection is not opto-isolated, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Failure to do so may result in damage to the feedback encoders, the DCS-100, and other devices on the layout from unintentional short circuits. | ||
+ | |||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Configuring the DCS100 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The DCS100 can be configured by setting various option switches (OpSw). | ||
+ | |||
+ | We list some of the more important switches below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Expanding Slots ===== | ||
+ | * OpSw 44: Expand slot refresh area from 22 (Big Boy compatible) to 120 | ||
+ | For big layouts 22 concurrent running loco's are not enough, so it is always advisable to set this option to get 120 slots available for running loco' | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Common Settings ===== | ||
+ | * OpSw 20: Disable address 00 or analog stretching for conventional locos. | ||
+ | * OpSw 25: Disable aliasing | ||
+ | * OpSw 28: Disable DS54 interrogate commands at power on. (Unnecessary LocoNet traffic if they are not used for setting switches.) | ||
+ | * OpSw 33: Allow track power to restore to prior state at power on. | ||
+ | * OpSw 34: Allow track to power up to run state, if set to run prior to power on. | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Motorola Format Support ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you want to run Motorola decoders with the DCS100, you should first read chapter **29.0 Multi-Format Operation** | ||
+ | |||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Required Option Switches ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | __For stationary decoders:__ | ||
+ | * OpSw 9: Allow Motorola trinary switch packet command echo for switches 1 - 256. | ||
+ | * OpSw 10: Expand trinary switch echo range from 1 - 64 to 1 - 256, when OpSw 9 is " | ||
+ | * OpSw 11: Make trinary switches 57 -64 long duration (1 sec) ON period, when OpSw 09 is " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use these settings to allow control of M turnouts, uncouplers, etc. via k83, k84, or 74440 decoders. | ||
+ | |||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | __For mobile decoders:__ | ||
+ | * OpSw 12: Motorola trinary/AC digital mobile decoder addresses 1 -80 allowed. (User must status edit loco types to " | ||
+ | |||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Optional Option Switches ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | For mobile decoders: | ||
+ | * OpSw 21-23: These switches combine to set the global system default type for " | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |t-t-t (=3) | 128 step mode | | ||
+ | |t-t-c (=7) | 128 step FX mode | | ||
+ | |t-c-t (=1) | Motorola trinary format | | ||
+ | |c-t-t (=2) | 14 step mode | | ||
+ | |c-c-t (=0) | 28 step | | ||
+ | |t-c-c (=5) | Undocumented | ||
+ | |||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Formats ==== | ||
+ | * Motorola I and II, will run mFX under Motorola II. Functions f0 through f4 supported. | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Notes ==== | ||
+ | * The documentation for trinary support is very poor and requires experimentation to get working. | ||
+ | * Swap any MM only decoder for a multi format or 100% NMRA DCC decoder where possible. | ||
+ | * Disable analog support in the decoder when mixing Motorola and DCC decoders on the same layout. | ||
+ | * If mobile decoders respond poorly, swap the Rail A and Rail B connections at the DCS-100. | ||
+ | * If the mobile decoders are working, but the stationary decoders are not, swap the red and brown leads at the stationary decoder. | ||
