4. Operation overview

Driving in digital operation

The locomotive decoders of the 30´s series are multiple protocol

decoders, that can operate with and automatically recognise both DCC

or Motorola formats.

The number of addresses is dependant on the format being used.

Motorola-Format: 255 addresses.

DCC- Format: 127 Basis-addresses or 10.239 extended addresses.

In the DCC format the decoders can be driven in all speed levels (14,

28 or 128).

In the Motorola format the decoders can be driven in 14 or 27 speed

levels. Driving all 27 speed levels can be done only with central units which

support this mode (e.g. MasterControl). With central units which allow 14

speed levels only, it is only possible to select every second speed level.

Programming the decoders is done in DCC format by setting the

configuration variables and in Motorola format through the registers.

Operation in analogue mode

The locomotive decoders of the 30´s series can also be used in analogue

model railway layouts. They can be run with an A.C. speed control as well

as with a D.C. speed control. When putting the vehicle on the rails the

decoder recognizes automatically if it is run in analogue or digital mode

and sets the corresponding operation mode. The automatic recognition of

the analogue mode can be switched off.

Caution:

Old analogue driving transformers (e.g. models in a blue housing from

Märklin**) are not suitable for use with digital decoders in analogue

operation! These transformers have been designed for the older supply

voltage of 220 V and, due to construction, generate very high excess

voltage impulses when changing the driving direction. When using them
