Data Formats

The TWIN-CENTER is designed to operate with
different types of digital decoders with differing for-
mats on the same track at the same time. Each
loco address can be allocated a particular data for-
mat so that the relevant decoder can be spoken to.
The following data formats can be set:
DCC 14/27/28/128 DCC-format with 14, 27, 28
FMZ
Virtual Loco Addresses (loco numbers)
The entry "vrt.addr" in the list is not a data format!
A virtual loco address will be used in order to call
up a vehicle under one or another decoder
address.
Because the TWIN-CENTER can be used for vir-
tual addresses of up to 4 figures, it is possible to
call up an FMZ-loco under 221 for example, even
though the decoder itself can only be set with
addresses from 1 to 119.
To set a virtual loco address please see chapter
7.9.
7.8.2

Indication of data format in display

address will be displayed as a prefix in front of the

– Loco Numbers –
7.9.1

Introduction

Both virtual and real addresses can be used with
the TWIN-CENTER.
For virtual addresses (loco numbers) there is an
area from 1 to 9999 available for use. They can be
used for example to call up locomotives using
their class number (often 3 numbers) or their run-
ning number (4 numbers), independently of the
address area of the loco decoders which they are
actually using. Such addresses are much easier
to recall because of their relevance, as a number
which bears no resemblance to the vehicle.
A virtual loco address can be allocated to any
loco decoder.
Virtual loco addresses (loco numbers) can be
spoken to from the controllers of the TWIN-CEN-
TER and the TWIN-CONTROL and also from the
TWIN-BOXES with their plugged in hand control-
lers. The use of virtual addresses from control
equipment which is connected via the I
unfortunately not possible.
Locomotives with virtual addresses (loco num-
bers) can be nevertheless called up on their nor-
mal decoder address.
