Mfx-Protocol - Märklin 60985 Handbuch

Note: Please note that not all functions are possible in all digital
protocols. Several settings for functions, which are supposed to
be active in analog operation, can be done under mfx and DCC.
Braking / Signal Stopping Block (MM, fx, mfx)
The braking module essentially applies DC voltage to the track.
If the decoder recognizes a DC voltage of this kind in the track,
it brakes with the delay that has been set. If the decoder recog-
nizes a digital protocol again, it accelerates at the speed that
has been set.
If automatic recognition in braking areas is to be used, we recom-
mend shutting the DC operation off (see CV description). In DCC
operation setting the value in CV 27 to 16 or 32 (see CV table).
Automatic Calibration for All Protocols
• The type of motor must be selected (see CV 52) before calibration.
• Automatic calibration of a locomotive must be done on a suit-
able oval of track without obstacles (signals, grades, etc.). We
recommend an oval of track with curves larger than 430 mm /
17" in radius. The locomotive is accelerated to the maximum
speed and can therefore derail on smaller radius curves. Go
into the locomotive configuration on the Central Station-> CV->
Info for automatic calibration of the locomotive. In the field
Firmware version, overwrite the first digit with 77. In the pro-
tocols MM/DCC, enter CV 7 directly in the configuration mode.
Overwrite the value displayed there with the number 77 and
store it in the locomotive.
Enter a speed with the speed control knob. Now the locomo-
tive starts slowly, accelerates to the fastest speed, and then
stops after a short while. After that, the locomotive tries
several times to start up. If the locomotive finally remains at a
standstill, the calibration process has ended.

No other operations should be done during the entire process.
The calibration process can be stopped with the "Stop"
button, by turning the speed control knob, by changing the
direction of travel. The process must be repeated after such a
termination.
If the results of the calibration process are not satisfactory,
calibration can be repeated with another type of motor. The
process can be repeated more than once. If the test run does
not give the desired result, you can adjust individual param-
eters manually in the motor parameters. (MM/DCC see CV
tables, mfx in Locomotive Configuration in the Central Station
-> CV -> Motor). The beginning and the end of the test run is
indicated by the following light symbols.

Addresses
• No address is required; each decoder is given a one-time,
unique identifier (UID).
• The decoder automatically registers itself on a Central Station
or a Mobile Station with its UID.
