Acceleration and brake delay
A well adjusted acceleration and brake delay (acceleration and brake rate) achieves a
prototypical, jerk-free acceleration and braking of the locomotive. For this purpose, in the CVs
is set separately for starting and braking, how much time should pass before the decoder
changes to the next higher or lower speed level. The decoder then changes the speed level
successively until the set speed level is reached. The higher the target speed or the speed
level when the braking process is triggered, the longer the starting and braking distance.
With the function mapping, the special function "Acceleration and Brake Delay" (ABD) can be
assigned to one or more functions with which it is activated and deactivated. On delivery, the
function F4 is assigned to the special function "ABD".
Starting and braking are
time-controlled:
The length of the starting and
braking distance depends on
the speed level to be reached
or the speed level when the
braking process is triggered.
Starting delay Braking delay
Constant braking distance
When the brake delay is active, the length of the braking distance depends on the delay set in
the CV and on the speed level when the braking process is triggered. An exact stop at
stopping points is not possible.
For the LD-G-43 a constant braking distance can be defined, which the locomotive should
cover when changing from any speed level to speed level 0. The braking distance corresponds
to the distance that the locomotive covers with the set brake delay at the highest possible
speed level until it comes to a stop. If the braking process is triggered at a lower speed level,
the time until the change to the next lower speed level is automatically extended. This ensures
that the braking distance is always the same regardless of the speed level when the braking
process is started.
The length of the braking
distance is always the same,
regardless of the speed level
when the braking process is
triggered. The higher the
value set in CV 4 for the
braking rate, the longer the
braking distance.
Short braking distance:
low value in CV4
Long braking distance:
high value in CV4
