then the module will activate the relay switching
the track power in the stop sector only after the
train has reached the "brake" contact.
The relay does not disconnect the power to the fol-
lowing stop sector but changes the supply from
the command station or booster to the brake ge-
nerator.

Neither the
the DCC brake generators are suitable for use with
multi-protocol systems.
If you want to use the comfortable and prototypical
brake function you should use only one digital data
format. Generally this does not mean you have to
convert your engines, since most mobile decoders
Viessmann
– just like the
– understand several data formats. You only have
to set all decoders to the same data format, either
Märklin Motorola or NMRA DCC.

The Distant Signal

The control module sets a separate distant signal
(on its own mast) to the corresponding signal
aspect of the main signal if it is set to "own distant
signal". The signal aspect is shown continuously.
The change of the signal aspect always occurs
with a soft change over as the prototype signal
with incandescent lamps. Fig. 3 shows how to wire
a distant signal with the additional white light indi-
cating a shorter than normal distance to the main
signal.
If the control module is configured to "distant sig-
nal on the same mast", then the distant signal be-
longs to the following main signal. It receives its

commands via the signal bus and shows the cor-
responding aspect.
When the aspects "stop" or "shunting permitted"
are shown the distant signal will remain dark. This
is prototypical because if the engine or train is not
permitted to proceed outside the yard does not
need to know the aspect of the following signal.
The own distant signal can be wired parallel to the
main signal. Thus the control module operates one
main signal and two distant signals.
Digital Mode of the Control
Module
The module requires in both Maerklin Motorola
and NMRA DCC format one or two successive
addresses. If two addresses are required (for a
multi-aspect signal) the first one is always an even
number.
Up to five external contacts or push buttons can
be connected for switching the signal (either ma-
nually or by the train). The first four are for:
• red
• green
• green-yellow
• shunting
The fifth is called "braking" and is intended for the
brake generator and triggers the change over from
normal supply from the command station or boos-
ter to supply via the brake generator. Without bra-
ke generator the interruption of the track power
becomes effective immediately if the signal shows
"stop".
The switching of the track power is done by the
Viessmann track sector relay 5228 (see fig. 8, up-
per track for 2-conductor track, lower track for
track with centre pick-up).
