Programming Mode

For easy programming of FMZ-, TWIN-, and
DCC-compatible loco decoders.

10.1 Programming Track

The programming of loco decoders can be car-
ried out on a so-called programming track. This
can either be a completely standard piece of
track, special laid out for this purpose, or it can
be a siding, of which there are normally plenty
available on a model railway layout: Separated
from the layout by insulating railjoiners on both
rails.
You can select whether to have the programming
track solely devoted to programming power, or
whether this output is to be automatically swit-
ched between the standard digital track power
and the programming track power.
Solely Programming Track
Only whilst the programming operations are in
progress, i.e. the reading and writing operations,
does the programming track output have power.
Otherwise the power is zero.
As delivered, the setting is on "automatic"
Automatic*
Under normal running conditions the program-
ming track output carries the normal track power.
Once it has been switched to programming func-
tion, the power of this output will be switched off.
Only whilst the programming is in progress will it
carry the corresponding programming power.
In order to do this, there is a small relay built into
the TWIN-CENTER, so that one of the sidings on
the model layout can be designated as the pro-
gramming track as well as being used as a nor-
mal siding.
VERY IMPORTANT
The piece of track must be isolated at
each end. There must be no other electri-
cal connection to the remainder of the
layout, and must only be fed with power

And here is how to do it:
If the "solely programming track" of the basic set-
ting menu has been activated, then only locos
with electronically programmable decoders can
be tested on the programming track with a read
test for short circuit or correct function. Because
the programming track only carries a very low
power, then no damage can be caused to the
decoder if there has been a false connection.
When something wrong is detected, the decoder
readout will give the TWIN-CENTER an error
message.

10.2 Setting Programming Mode

With each depression of the [mode] key the ope-
ration mode will be altered between keyboard,
memo, s88 monitor and programming mode.
Press the [mode] key until the display shows
"programming mode", alternatively the keys
[mode] and [4] (see chapter 8.2). After pressing
the [menu] key the menu driven user guide
appears in text.

via the programming track output. The
isolating breaks must not be overbridged
by another vehicle (bogie, illuminated
coach).
• Press the [menu] key
• Press the [mode] key
• Search through using the [↓] key until
the entry"Prog. Track" is found, alternati-
vely the keys [mode] and [4] (see chapter
8.2).
• Further with the [→] key
• Using the [↓] key search through until
the desired entry is found
• Confirm the input with the [↵] key
• Return to operation with the [menu] key
