Route With An S 88 Contact; Programming The 763Xx Series Signals; Sniffer Addresses - Märklin Central Station Bedienungsanleitung

4.5.1.1.3 Route with an s 88 Contact

A powerful function lies concealed behind the ability to activate a
route both manually by touching the control surface on the turnout
controller and by layout control through the use of an s 88 feedback
contact.
You can use this function to achieve block control: A train entering a
block can be detected by means of the s 88 and the next block can
be released.
The s 88 bus must have already been configured in the setup menu.
See Section 3.4.1 for information about this.
Indicate during setup the desired s 88 module and the port number
for the input that is to activate the route.
Of course, a route activated automatically can also continue to be
activated manually at the turnout controller.
Finally, confirm your entries in order to store the new route. The entry
dialog can be closed by touching the check mark, and the new route
is registered.
If the dialog box does not close and a small exclamation point
appears behind one of the 3 lines for the name, then the text is too
long. Shorten the name for the route.
4.5.2 Editing a Route
You can change a route
or rename it at any time:
• Press on the control
surface „Set Up
Solenoid Accessories".
A list of all routes will
appear.
• Select the desired route.
The remaining editing
steps are the same as
in Section 4.5.1.
4.5.3. Assigning a Route to the Turnout Controller
After routes have been entered, they can be assigned to one or seve-
ral control surfaces on the turnout controller. Only routes assigned
to a control surface can be activated manually: Routes activated by
s 88 contacts do not have to be linked.
The linking of routes works in principle the same as the linking of
„normal" solenoid accessories. Section 4.3. shows you how indivi-
dual solenoid accessories are linked; it works exactly the same way
with routes. Routes are displayed with the notation „(Rou)" after the
name in the list of solenoid accessories.
4.5.4. Activating a Route
A route is activated in the same manner as a solenoid accessory;
see Section 4.4.
There are two differences:
This pictogram indicates that the route has not been
completely activated. At least one solenoid accessory
is not set in the position defined for this route. This
pictogram also appears when the route is called up
for the first time, even if the settings for the solenoid
accessories in the route are correct for the route. The
display will be correct after the first time you activate
the route.
This route is completely activated; all of the solenoid
accessories have the desired setting.
Routes can only be activated. The route is reset by changing at least
one of the solenoid accessories assigned to the route.
You can always activate individually solenoid accessories assigned
to a route, such as with a different link in the turnout controller. The
symbol will change the minute the control setting for at least one of
these solenoid accessories no longer agrees with the route. You thus
have at all times an overview of whether all of the solenoid acces-
sories in your route are correctly set.
4.5.5 Deleting a Route
Deleting a route is done the same way as deleting a solenoid
accessory:
• Call up the solenoid accessory menu and select „Delete route".
• Select the desired route and confirm.

4.6. Programming the 763xx Series Signals

The following steps must be carried out to program the 763xx series
digital signals (Examples: 76391, 76393, etc.):
1. Leave the signal's electronic circuit in its packaging. The signal's
electronic circuit must be clipped into the contact bracket in the
packaging in order to be programmed.
2. Set up the appropriate controls for the signal in question in the
solenoid accessory list on the Central Station. If there is a distant
signal on the mast for a home signal, then the home signal assig-
ned to the distant signal must also be set up. Make sure that you
have the correct address set for the signal controls. Select the
"Momentary" mode of operation for the button function. Important:
Set the switching duration at 2,500 milliseconds for the program-
ming procedure. On signals with a distant signal mounted on them,
don't forget to set up the controls on the Central Station for the
home signal part of these signals.
3. Place the new control element on one of the 18 operation levels so
that you can control this solenoid accessory.
4. Turn the Central Station off.
5. Remove the connection for the Central Station to the layout. Only
connect the new signal to be programmed to the layout output on
the Central Station.
6. Turn the Central Station on. As soon as the Central Station is ready
to be operated, press the STOP button (emergency stop).
7. Press the GO button on the Central Station. The signal aspect on
the signal will begin to change back and forth between two states.
The following procedure depends on the signal being programmed.
76391/76393/76371/76372: Activate the signal briefly on the screen.
The signal will be programmed within the switching duration that
has been set for its controls (2,500 milliseconds).
76392/76394: Switch the signal to aspect Hp1. Wait until the signal
begins to show alternating different signal aspects. Now switch the
signal to aspect Hp2.
76395/76397: The first step is the same as for the 76391 or 76393
signals. After that the distant signal will begin to change back and
forth between two signal aspects. Now activate the signal aspect
Hp1 or Hp0 for the home signal mounted on this signal. If the
distant signal is assigned to a two-aspect home signal, then press
the signal aspect function Hp1 or Hp0 a second time if the distant
signal has started showing alternating different signal aspects
again. In the other situation activate the signal aspect Hp2 on the
home signal mounted on this signal. The assignment of the second
address takes place automatically on signals with more than
2 aspects.
8. The signal is now programmed. Turn the Central Station off.
Remove the signal from its packaging and install it on the layout.
Important:
• Do not begin the other steps until the signal is first changing
back and forth between the two signal aspects.
• It only takes a very short amount of time to activate the swit-
ching commands. The necessary switching duration is given
with the entry of 2,500 milliseconds. When you are through
with the programming procedure, you should change this
switching duration to a value more commonly used for regular
operation of the signals (Example: 500 milliseconds).
• If you pause too long between the individual steps, the signal
will turn off the programming procedure on its own. In this
situation, start the entire process again from the beginning by
pressing the "STOP" button on the Central Station.

5. Sniffer Addresses

The Sniffer allows you to continue to use your old digital system with
the Central Station.
The Sniffer behaves like a digital decoder and retranslates the track
signals into processable data for the Central Station. The old digital
system is address-based; Märklin Systems stores locomotives in
lists with descriptive names. Since several locomotives may have the
same address, a correlation must be reached between the locomoti-
ve addresses in the old system and the locomotives actually shown
in the list in the Central Station. For each entry in the locomotive list,
a Sniffer address is assigned next to the real address with which
the locomotive is run. This Sniffer address is independent of the real
address and only serves to correlate the addresses received from the
external old unit (example: 6021) to the locomotives in the locomotive
list for the Central Station.
