LocoIO Easy Setup

ContentRocviewProgrammingStationary Decoders



If only simple I/O is needed this tab will do the job in a few clicks.

The "Easy Setup" uses the module address from Tab General.

This setup example connects a GCA93 (current sensors) and a GCA136 (servo driver).

Address

Port address in range from 1 to 2048.
The used addressing scheme is PADA.

Input

Normal input without switch-off delay and active low.

Configuration = 31

Block

Block occupancy detection with switch-off delay active to prevent unwanted LocoNet events, active low.

Configuration = 27

Switch

Output without reset, 1 - on.
Configuration = 129

Pulse

Output with hardware reset, 1 - on.
Configuration = 140

Two Coil Switch: C2

Many switch decoders have 2 outputs to control both coils of the motor.
To achieve this with LocoIO/MGV50 just program two outputs on the same address, one of them with the option "C2" (Coil 2) activated.

The LocoIO setup uses the NMRA accessory decoder addressing.

Example

locoio-easy-c2-en.jpg
For both address 1 and 2 are two ports with different gates programmed for controlling dual coil switch motors.

NMRA to FLat

NMRA Flat

2 2 5
3 1 6

4 1 8
4 2 9


Usage

Shows the Rocrail object ID which is linked to this port.

Save

Save all settings in a file in the CSV format: "SV, value".

Example of a SV file:

 100, 148
 0, 0
 1, 81
 2, 1
 3, 31
 4, 0
 5, 16
 6, 31
 7, 0
 8, 48
 ...

Read

Read settings from file in the format described above.
With set all the SV values are stored in the LocoIO module.

Special remark on LocoIO modules

It is important to power off and on after programming LocoIO units (GCA50 etc) because some changes will only take place after a reset.
