The speed of the loco can be displayed in two different ways.
Absolute Speed (default factory setting)
The speed level will directly be displayed using the current
operating level. According to the chosen data format the display will
show numbers in the range 0-14, 0-28, or 0-126.
Percentage of maximum speed
The speed level will be displayed in percentage of the maximum
speed independently of the current data format.

4.5.2 Speed knobs
Whether the Intellibox speed control behaves like a DC speed
control or as an AC speed control is configurable.
Ex-factory it is set to "AC speed control" an alternating current
speed control.
The AC style knob
The AC Style mode works like an old-fashioned three rail AC
controller.
Using the AC style, the speed will always be
increased while turning the knob clockwise and
will be decreased while turning the knob
counterclockwise. If the max. speed or the speed
zero is reached, a further turn of the knob in the
same direction has no effect. The max. speed or
the speed zero will be maintained.
A slight push on to the speed knob will reverse the direction of the
loco.
Activation of the change over switch during running firstly stops the
vehicle by emergency stop and only then changes the driving
direction.
