Controlling Solenoid Accessories; Routes; Advanced Settings - Märklin Central Station Bedienungsanleitung

Notes about different types of solenoid accessories:
• A prerequisite for three-way turnouts and signals with several
aspects is that the second solenoid must be connected to the
address directly after the address for the first decoder connection.
Example: three-way turnout – first address is 11 => The second
address must be 12.
7241 signal with three aspects: Main solenoid is address 5 green
and red => The address for the second solenoid must be 6 green!
The red output for the second address cannot be used for other
solenoid accessories!
• Always connect H0 uncoupler tracks to the green decoder output
and set them up as a "Continuous" button function. 1 Gauge un-
coupler tracks are set up as a "Momentary" function.
• Lights or other users connected to a k84 decoder are set up as a
"Momentary" button function.
"Enter New Accessory" Submenu
As an alternative to the submenu "Select from List", when you are
setting up the control areas, you can also put turnouts or signals into
the solenoid accessory list later by selecting the control area
"Enter New Accessory". These new accessories are placed at the
selection position on the control area by using the procedure already
described above for making new entries in the solenoid accessory list.
Note: If a solenoid accessory already in the solenoid accessory list
is entered a second time, then both of these entries are tre-
ated as separate solenoid accessories despite the fact that
they have the identical designation and/or address. When
you activate the accessory in one entry, the display indicator
for the other entry is not updated!
"Exit" Submenu
An activity you are doing with the accessories right now can be
ended without changes to its status by selecting this control surface
as an alternative to the submenus "Select from List" and "Enter New
Accessory".
Removing a Control Element
When you are setting up control elements on a control area, if you
select a position already occupied by a control element rather than
a free position, a submenu will appear for deleting the entry you are
trying to make in the occupied position. There is also an alternative
available for this procedure in the form of the control area "Exit".
Note: An entry can not be replaced by another control element
until the old entry is first deleted and then newly defined. If
the parameters for an entry (example: the name) are chan-
ged in the solenoid accessory list, then these changes will be
accepted.

4.4 Controlling Solenoid Accessories

1. Select the correct control area.
2. Press the "GO" button.
3. Touch the image
for the solenoid
accessory you want
to control.
– Solenoid acces-
sory with two set-
tings: The accessory
will be switched from
the current setting to
the second setting.
– Solenoid acces-
sory with more than
two settings: An ad-
ditional control field
will appear, from
which you can select
the desired setting.
In the example to the
right you can see the
three possibilities for
controlling a three-
way turnout.
Note: When the Central Station is in the emergency stop state,
solenoid accessories cannot be operated. Manual changes
to the setting for the solenoid accessories are not recogni-
zed by the system.

4.5 Routes

Routes are also registered in the form of lists in the same manner as
locomotives and solenoid accessories. Routes must therefore first be
defined before they can be linked to a turnout controller and used.
During the definition process you select which solenoid accessories
will belong to the route and which setting they will have in the route.
Only solenoid accessories linked to a control surface for the turnout
controller can be added to a route. Therefore, first link all solenoid
accessories, before you define routes.
4.5.1 Entering a New Route
Touch the icon „Setting up Solenoid Accessories" and
select „Enter New Route" from the menu.
Selection Box.
Active for every
solenoid accessory
within a route
Selection frame

noid accessories
Desired setting
for the solenoid
accessory in the
route
A selection frame is placed around each solenoid accessory. Other
routes are blanked out, since a route can only contain solenoid
accessories, but not other routes. You can change between the
different control surfaces in order to be able to see all of the linked
solenoid accessories.
• Select the first solenoid accessory
that you want in the route and mark
it in the upper right in the selection
box with a small check mark.
• Press on the solenoid accessory
symbol and select the desired setting
for that accessory.
• Select step by step all of the other ele-
ments of the route and their settings.
The Central Station executes the setting commands in the sequence
in which the accessories were entered into the route. Keep this in
mind when entering elements into a route.

4.5.1.1 Advanced Settings

When all of the solenoid accessories have been added to the route,
change to the view „Advanced". There you will carry out other impor-
tant settings.
4.5.1.1.1 Name
You can give the route a name for display on the screen. Up to three
lines with a maximum of 9 characters are available.
4.5.1.1.2 Time Intervals
When the route is activated, the Central Station sends the individual
commands sequentially to the different solenoid accessories. The
time interval during
this process defines
a pause between the
individual commands
to the accessories to
set themselves. Sole-
noid accessories with
particularly high current
draw sometimes place
such a load on the
power supply voltage
that this pause makes
sense for trouble-free
operation.
