8.6 Advanced Consist Address CV19

CV19 is the advanced consist address. When this CV is in use for an advanced

consist, the functions within the advanced consist are individually controlled

at their individual locomotive addresses. CV21 & 22 are used to control func-

tions in advanced consists, see Section 9.10.

8.7 CV61 Transponding & LED/Lamp Algorithm Selector

Digitrax FX

Decoders use CV61 (one of the manufacturer specific configura-

tion variables) for enabling or disabling transponding and for selecting whether

the decoder will use the LED or incandescent lamp lighting algorithm.

8.7.1 Transponding Feed Back From Decoders

Transponding feeds back the transponding zone location of any specific loco-

motive or other rolling stock equipped with a transponder. Location and iden-

tification information are updated constantly on LocoNet and can be displayed

on a track diagram, throttle, or computer. Transponding decoders and transpon-

ders work in conjunction with transponding receivers installed on the layout.

Digitrax transponding does not require any additional modifications or induc-

tors to be added to your locos, rolling stock or system boosters.

All current production Digitrax decoders incorporate patented transponding

technology. Decoders are shipped with transponding disabled because layout

hardware must be installed to use this feature.

If your decoder does not have an integrated transponder, you can add a TL1 or

TF4 to your installation to add transponding. Transponders can also be added

to rolling stock that does not have a decoder. Transponding devices can be

added to DCC equipped locos as well as non-DCC equipped locos and rolling

stock. You can install transponding devices in locos with decoders made by

other companies to get the benefits of transponding. If you are using “silent-

running” decoders made by other DCC companies on your layout be sure that

they are Digitrax transponding compatible. If they are not, simply disable this

feature in those decoders to prevent interference with transponding.

Digitrax transponder current pulse generation uses the F0 decoder function out-

put that is also used for the forward light function. Transponding will not affect

the operation of the forward light but you may see a slight glow when the light

is turned off.

To set up your layout for transponding:

1. Install transponding layout hardware on the layout according to

instructions.

2. All Digitrax Series 3, 4, 5, & 6 decoders have built in resistors for
