Variation 2: Entering manuall
After you have selected this menu, an entry field will appear in which
you can give different types of locomotive data. A keyboard is loca-
ted under the entry field to facilitate the entry of texts. The following
settings can be made:
Decoder
Settings for the Type of Decoder. The standard setting is „Motorola 14".
Digital locomotives with monitored control such as the 6090 decoder
can be controlled with a finer touch with the setting „Motorola 27".
Touch the arrow to the right of the field for data format and select
„Motorola 27". Function decoders that can already be controlled with
the 6020 Central Unit are possible with the setting „Motorola fx 14".
Setting the type of decoder. Standard practice is that "Märklin Moto-
rola 14" or "Function Decoder" are the only variations that can cur-
rently be set. "Function Decoder" includes the function decoders that
can be controlled with the first central unit, the 6020 Central Unit.
Examples of these are the 4998, 4999, or 49960 working cars, the
7651 rotary crane, or the 58115 1 Gauge car. The function decoders
(examples: 60960 or 60961) or working models based on the same
technology, models that can only be controlled with the 6021 Control
Unit 6021, must be set up on the Central Station with "Märklin
Motorola 14" as a type.
Address
The address can certainly be set for locomotives between 1 and
9999, but the Märklin locomotive decoders only recognize the range
from 1 to 80 (future Märklin decoders and certain other makes can
recognize 1 to 255). Possible settings:
1. Touch the „Address" field. Now change the value by turning the
speed control knob.
2. Use the „–" and „+" control fields to the right of the address indica-
tor to change the address value.
3. Touch the „Address" field. Use the backspace key „ <–" (upper
right on the keyboard) to delete the value and use the numbers
on the keyboard to enter the new address between 1 and 80 (or 1
– 255). The addresses 1 through 9 are entered as single digit num-
bers; the addresses 10 to 99 are entered as two-digit numbers.
Sniffer Address
The address entered here is used for the Sniffer. You can learn more
about the Sniffer in Section 5. If you have not connected an old digi-
tal unit to the Sniffer, you can leave the „0" that was already entered
in the Central Station.
Name
By touching the "Name" field on the screen you can then enter a
designation for the locomotive in the entry field next to the "Name"
field by using the keyboard. This designation will then always appear
on the part of the screen for the locomotive controller, when you
call up the locomotive. The name can consist of a maximum of
16 characters.
Note: If you don't make an entry in this field, the preset designation
"New" will appear as the name. The Central Station does not
check whether the name has already been taken.
Central Station mit Update 60212
Locomotive Symbol
You can use this selection field to select an appropriate symbol for a
new locomotive you are setting up in the Central Station. To do this,
touch the locomotive symbol depicted or the arrow positioned to
the right of it you're your finger. A larger selection field will appear in
which you can select a suitable element by again either touching the
desired element, by turning the control knob and then pressing on it
or by touching the check mark field to the right under the selection
field or by scrolling up and down in the column on the right.
Note: An incorrect symbol has no effect on locomotive operations.
The symbol can be changed later at any time.
Adding a Locomotive to Your Favorites List
A locomotive you run frequently can be found more easily in an
extensive motive power list by integrating the locomotive into a favo-
rites list. This entry in the favorites list can be used as a sort criterion,
when you call the locomotive up later. There is a selection field in
front of the text "Add locomotive to favorites list". The assignment
of a locomotive to the favorites list is indicated by touching this
selection field. A check mark by the locomotive indicates that this
locomotive is in the favorites list.
Properties
Touching the tab „Properties" opens the window „Display". There you
can choose between the speed level display or the speed display.
In the speed level mode, the Central Station shows the speed level
that has been set, regardless of the data format that has been set.
With Motorola 14 the speed levels are 0 – 14, with Motorola 27 the
speed levels are 0 – 27, etc.
In the speed mode the Central Station generates a speed in km/h
that is shown in the display. You must enter in the Central Station the
desired maximum speed of the prototype in km/h for your model
locomotive in order to show the correct speed. The maximum speed
is usually given in the prototype text in the operating instructions for
each model. Touching the arrows will increase or decrease the speed
in steps of 10.
The value that you select is shown when the locomotive reaches
the highest speed level. All of the values in between are generated
accordingly.
The value entered here is only for display purposes and has no influ-
ence at all on the actual speed of your locomotive. No settings in the
locomotive are changed.
The operating instructions for your particular locomotives will show
you how to change the maximum speed of your models.
The data line with the settings you have just made is accepted by
touching the confirmation area with the check mark below and to the
right in the selection window. By touching the end field with the "x",
you leave this submenu without accepting the locomotive data. The
same holds true, when the locomotive controller area of the screen in
the upper left corner is touched.
Advanced
Still another entry field is located behind the "enter new locomotive"
entry field. This new field is designated on the upper edge with
"Advanced". Touching this "Advanced" field brings the entry field
to the front and the "enter new locomotive" field is put in the back-
ground.
Up to 6 additional fields for setting values can be called up in this
"Advanced" submenu. Whether these fields are used depends on the
type of decoder used in the locomotive.
