6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 921 The digital Multi-Train Control System1 The digital Multi-TrainControl SystemYou already know the simplest form of a modelrailway: an oval of track, onto which a transformeris connected and round which the loco runs.This transformer drops the mains voltage of 230volts down into manageable D.C. voltage between0 and 14 volts, which it feeds into the ovalof track. The further you ”turn up“ the controlknob, then the higher the voltage and thereforethe faster your loco runs.If you then put a second loco on the track, then itreceives - just like the first loco - the same voltagepower from the transformer. Both locos thenrun at the same speed and direction from this onetransformer.This type of control is known as analogue orconventional control.It's different for digital multi-train control fromFLEISCHMANN: for this type of control, there is aconstant track voltage of roughly 20 volts A.C.which firstly serves as power to run the trains,and secondly to carry lots of tiny digital impulses.Control commands are stored in a central controllerwhich will control the speed and directionof locos, setting commands for points and signalswhich you can input from a hand controlleror likewise by keyboard, each command beingcarried via the tracks with the help of the abovementioned digital impulses, right through to thedigital receiver - also known as a decoder - whichare built into the locos, or are utilised as receivermodules for electrical accessories to switchpoints, signals or uncoupler tracks. These decoderstranslate the digital control commands intoaction.In this way, the decoders in locos for example,decide how much power to give to the motor andtherefore dictate the speed of the loco. From thecontinual digital commands, the decoder alsodecides whether to switch the loco lights on oroff.Each digital loco with its inbuilt decoder, or similarly,each FMZ-receiver module for electricalaccessories has a particular address, and willonly react to commands which are sent to thatspecific address - just the same as a telephone,which only rings when its own number is dialled.Because the commands for lots of loco addressescan be carried unbelievably quickly, one afterthe other, you can operate many digital locomotivessimultaneously.You can therefore, for example, carry on shuntingwhilst other trains run backwards and forwards,you can couple up 2 locos to each other to rundouble-headed, you can hook up coaches or putthem in sidings and recreate many more prototypicalrailway operations.It's not just running which becomes easier byusing a digital multi-train system, but connectingup all the electrical accessories, i.e. pointwork ismuch less hassle. Because the control commandsare carried through the track, then thereceiver modules for electrical accessories canbe connected onto the trackwork anywhere onthe layout as required. The pointwork is no longerconnected by a spaghetti network of wire tothe central controller, but by short wires fromtrack to receiver module.The switching of points, signals or uncouplertracks is carried out, just as the running of thelocomotives, via a common operational - andswitching - central controller - the TWIN-CENTERfrom FLEISCHMANN.In the following, we describe the TWIN-CENTERequipped with the V1.100 software. However, forcontinuity reasons, we have included the “old”software version V1.000 as far as possible.Anyway we strongly recommend the use of thesoftware update V1.100 if you own a TWIN-CEN-TER with the V1.000 software version.

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 932 The World of the TWIN-TECHNIK2 The World of theTWIN-TECHNIKThe TWIN-TECHNIK is an interesting system fordigital multi-train operation which has emergedby FLEISCHMANN continuing to build on thealready well-known.It is multi-lingual and covers not only the languageof the FLEISCHMANN Multi-train system(FMZ) but also the international Digital CommandControl DCC) as per the NMRA standard.The TWIN-TECHNIK opens up the door forFLEISCHMANN railway modellers into the worldwidestandard of digital control for model railways.Your advantage with the TWIN-TECHNIK: FMZlocomotiveswith different decoders which youalready own can be run on the same track, alongsidelocos with inbuilt TWIN-DECODER or DCC-DECODER using FLEISCHMANN control equipment.It's even possible to have simultaneous operationwith conventional D.C. locos together with FMZlocosor similarly digital locos with inbuilt TWIN-DECODER, providing that the conventional D.C.transformer is connected via a TWIN-Coupler6806. In this case, however, no DCC-locos canbe utilised.You can however, run FMZ and DCC locomotivesof the NMRA standard together simultaneouslyon the same track - but without being able to useconventional D.C. locos or transformers.The TWIN-TECHNIK is more than just a controller.FLEISCHMANN has a range of precisionequipment designed to fit in with it in order to fulfilyour every need.With just one TWIN-CENTER and one TRANS-FORMER, you can straight away begin to run twodigital locos simultaneously and yet independentof each other on one track. If still further locomotivesare added, then that's no problem either,because the previous one can be handed over tothe TWIN-CENTER as a ”main-line" loco. Addingin a TWIN-CONTROL or FMZ-hand controllers,which are plugged into TWIN-BOXes, additionallocos can be run under direct control. The sameyou can achieve by connecting in a LOK-BOSS6865.If the current requirement gets too great for yourlarger layouts, then the energy from extra transformerscan be fed via TWIN-BOOSTERs intoseparate circuits or sections in the layout. Theprevious FMZ-Booster 6805 can also be used forthis purpose.DCCFMZFMZDCCLocoNet68876827TWIN-BOXTRAFOTWIN-BOOSTERTRAFOTWIN-CENTERTWIN-CONTROL681268076812 68026822230 V230 V6820 6821 6821 6820 6821 6820 6821 6820Example showing layout control using TWIN-TECHNIK93

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 943 The Components of the TWIN-TECHNIK3 The Components of theTWIN-TECHNIKThe TWIN-TECHNIK consists of the basic components• TWIN-CENTER,• TRANSFORMER• and digital Locomotives (TWIN, DCCaccording to NMRA and FMZ ).Extension components from FLEISCHMANN are:• TWIN-BOOSTER,• TWIN-CONTROL,• TWIN-BOX,• Hand controller,• LOK-BOSS• Receiver module for electricalaccessories,• LocoNet-Connector Cable,• as well as several components of theFMZ-system.3.1 The Basic Components3.1.1 The TWIN-CENTER 6802The TWIN-CENTER is the central operating andswitching centre for digital operation on yourmodel railway. It comprises of two separatespeed controllers for locomotive running, a keyboardfor switching points, signals and uncouplertracks, a booster for energy supply, a coder forsetting addresses, as well as a computer interfacefor connection to a computer (PC, Mac, orothers) all in one piece of equipment.And the TWIN-CENTRE can give you:• Simultaneous control of two digital locomotives(FMZ, TWIN, DCC and evenmixed) via two separate speed controllers• Switching of points, signals and uncouplertracks via one easy-to-view keyboard• Switching complete routes of points• Coding of loco addresses from 1 to 119for FMZ• Further coding of loco addresses from1 to 9999 for DCC operation• Use of individual loco numbers virtualaddresses from 1 to 9999 for eachdesired digital loco• Up to 128 running steps for DCCoperation• Setting of the inertia level for accelerationand braking• Setting the motor control characteristics• Switching the loco lights on or off• Switching of additional functions forDCC operation, e.g. Sounds• Loco/track precedence running on FMZ• Double-heading for up to 4 locomotives• Visual indication of all setting proceduresand functions via a large backgroundilluminated LCD display.• Programming from a computer• Connection of peripheral equipment viathe LocoNet connector• Answer-back via the s88 Bus• Power feed of up to 3 Amps• Emergency stop for the whole layout• Individual loco emergency stop• Power cut-off if short circuit occurs andindication in display• Storage of the preset values whenpower is cut off• Software Update is possible3.1.2 The TRANSFORMER 6812The TRANSFORMER delivers the power ofroughly 75 VA to operate your TWIN-CENTER orfurther TWIN-BOOSTERs.94

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 953 The Components of the TWIN-TECHNIKStandard D.C. transformers (i.e. FLEISCHMANNMSF-transformers 6755 or the light transformer6705/6706) cannot be used for operating theTWIN-TECHNIK. The transformer 6811 can beused for smaller layouts. It has a power of 45 VA.3.1.3 Digital Locomotives3.1.3.1 The digital heart – the Loco-DECODER (TWIN or DCC)The Loco-DECODER is the heart of the digitalFLEISCHMANN locos and takes care of interpretingthe control commands from the TWIN-CEN-TER into control impulses for the locomotivemotor. With an inbuilt Loco-DECODER fromFLEISCHMANN, the speed of your loco no longerdepends on the loading on it, i.e. whether its travellingup or downhill, then the loco will alwaysrun at the same speed (provided there is sufficientpower).FLEISCHMANN offers you 2 kinds of Loco-DECODERS, the TWIN-DECODER and the DCC-Decoder.The TWIN-DECODER understands two ”digitallanguages“: the FLEISCHMANN Multi-TrainControl (FMZ) and Digital Command Controlas per the NMRA standard. The DCC-DECO-DER understands the DCC language accordingto the NMRA standards. Using controllers matchingthese standards you can now run locoswith the TWIN/DCC-DECODER. Which particularfunctions of the TWIN/DCC-DECODER can beutilised will be determined by the capabilities ofthe control equipment. The ideal piece of equipmentis naturally the TWIN-CENTER fromFLEISCHMANN, which is designed to fit in exactlywith the TWIN/DCC-DECODER in your loco.The TWIN/DCC-DECODER is also well preparedto cope with any problems which may occur: Inthe case of a short circuit between the motorconnections, or if overheated, the TWIN/DCC-DECODER shuts itself off and indicates the exactnature of the problem by blinking the loco lights:continual flashing means that there is a short circuit,double flashing shows that overheating isthe cause. After the cause of the problem hasbeen removed i.e. cooling of the decoder, thenthe loco will start to run once more.The TWIN-DECODER at a glance:• Double language capability of theTWIN-DECODER:FMZ and DCC as per the NMRA standard• Speed independent of load:Whether running up or down hill, theloco will always run at the same speed• Protection against short circuit oroverload:The operation of the protection will beindicated by flashing of the loco lights• Lots of speed steps for fine controlledrunning:For FMZ operation 15, for DCC max. 128• Loco address:Electrically codeable loco address1 - 119 (FMZ operation), max. 9999(DCC operation)• Settable, loco individual accelerationand braking inertia levels.• Special Function:Co-ordinated with direction of travel, theloco lights can be switched on or off• Minimum and maximum speed:Settable, loco individual minimum andmaximum speed, i.e. limiting the topspeed for ”bumbling“ old stopping trains.• Motor control characteristics:Settable, loco individual motor controlcharacteristics, i.e. for really slowshunting or for dynamic acceleration.• Additional special functions:Three special functions for DCC operation,one special function for FMZ operation.3.1.3.2 Locomotives with inbuiltTWIN-DECODER or DCC-DECODERWithout a great deal of fuss, you can enjoy thebenefits of the TWIN/DCC-DECODER: with onelocomotive from FLEISCHMANN in which theTWIN/DCC-DECODER is already installed.Numerous attractive classes of locos come alreadywith this decoder ready fitted. You can recognisethese locos by their blue digital packagingand the description ”LOCO WITH TWIN-DECO-DER“ or “LOCO WITH DCC-DECODER”. Pleaseask your local dealer !95

You can pick out these locosby the following symbols:NEMfor a 6-pole plug-in socket as perNEM 651for an 8-pole plug-in socketNEMas per NEM 652(NEM = The standard for European Model Railways)Although technically identical, the TWIN-DECODERcomes with different connections to fulfil its various uses:TWIN-DECODER 6839/6846/6847/6849with 6-pole plugThe TWIN-DECODER 6846 is fitted with a 6-poleplug for locomotives with a NEM 651 NEM 6-poleconnector socket. The connector leads are20 mm long. The technically identical TWIN-DECODER 6847/6849 have wires with a length of80mm, wheras the 6839 has 30 mm wire length.TWIN-DECODER 6848 with 8-pole plugThe TWIN-DECODER 6848 is fitted with an 8-pole plug for locomotives with an NEM 652 NEM8-pole connector socket with 80 mm leads.DCC-DECODER 6857/6858/6859/6872/6876with 6-pole plugThe DCC-DECODER 6857/6876 are fitted with a 6-pole plug for locomotives with an NEM 651 NEM 6-pole connector socket. The connector leads are 80mm long. The technically identical DCC-DECODER6859 has 30 mm wire length, the 6858/6872 have anintegrated plug without leads.DCC-DECODER 6878 with 8-pole plugThe DCC-DECODER 6878 is fitted with an 8-poleplug for locomotives with an NEM 652 NEM 8-pole connector socket with 80 mm leads.3.1.3.4 Conventional LocomotivesEven conventional D.C. locos without the plug-inconnector socket can be converted for use theTWIN-TECHNIK/DCC operation. For this purpose,the TWIN-DECODERs 69 6846/69 6849, aswell as the DCC-DECODERs 69 6876 and 696859 come with 6 leads without a plug ready forconversion by authorised dealers. The connectingwires are 150 mm long.3.1.3.5 The Receiver module forelectrical accessories 6852You will need this receiver module to changepoints and signals and other electrical accessoriesby the TWIN-TECHNIK. You can hook up 4points or 4 signals or 8 uncoupler tracks to themodule and operate it from the TWIN-CENTER orlikewise the TWIN-CONTROL.3.2 The Extension Components3.2.1 The TWIN-BOOSTER 6807If the electrical power of the TWIN-CENTER provesto be insufficient for really large layouts, thenan additional transformer can be hooked intoanother power circuit via a TWIN-BOOSTER. Theoutput power per TWIN-BOOSTER is 3.0 Amps.A reverse loop module and a brake generator forDCC operation as per the NMRA standard arealready inbuilt. All outputs are protected againstshort circuit.3.2.2 The TWIN-CONTROL 6822The TWIN-CONTROL is a static control station,which is equipped with two speed controllers anda keyboard. It is connected into the TWIN-CEN-TER via the LocoNet socket. All functions whichare necessary for running and switching can becarried out on the TWIN-CONTROL. You canconnect up to 6 TWIN-CONTROL 6822 to theTWIN-CENTER.3.2.3 The TWIN-BOX 6827Four hand controllers 6820 can be plugged intothe TWIN-BOX which is connected to the TWIN-CENTER, or similarly the TWIN-CONTROL via theLocoNet output socket. You can hook up a max.of 16 hand controllers to a max. of 16 TWIN-BOXES onto the LocoNet connector.3.2.4 Hand Controller 6820/6821 (TWIN)With the aid of the hand controllers 6820/6821you can control additional locomotives underdirect control of the sliding regulator. To connectthe hand controller into the TWIN-CENTER, orsimilarly, the TWIN-CONTROL, you will need aTWIN-BOX 6827.96

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 973 The Components of the TWIN-TECHNIK3.2.5 LOK-BOSS 6865The LOK-BOSS 6885 can be here used as anadditional TWIN-BOX with 4 hand-controllersconnected to it (for details see section 7.12).3.2.6 Adapter Set 6885 for FMZ-BoosterThe Adapter Set 6885 for FMZ-Booster is requiredwhen connecting the FMZ-Booster 6805 intothe TWIN-CENTER 6802. The set consists of abooster adapter, connecting wires and the trackconnection unit 6886.3.2.7 Track connection unit 6886The unit is necessary for the connection of eachadditional FMZ-Booster 6805. Essential: OneFMZ-Booster must already be connected to theTWIN-CENTER using Adapter-Set 6885.3.2.8 LocoNet accessoriesTo connect TWIN-CONTROL, TWIN-BOX, LOK-BOSS, TRAIN-NAVIGATION receivers and otherLocoNet devices to the TWIN-CENTER, you needaccessories such as 6807, 6827, 6887...3.3 The TWIN Extension ComponentsThe TWIN-TECHNIK combines the old with thenew, so you can still utilise many of theFLEISCHMANN FMZ-components to extend thesystem.3.3.1 The TWIN-Coupler 6806A conventional D.C. transformer to control a conventionalD.C. loco on a D.C. circuit can be connectedinto the TWIN-TECHNIK by using a coupler foreach additional transformer (6725, 6735, 6755).3.3.3 The FMZ-Transformer 6810You will need this transformer to power the FMZbooster6805.3.3.4 The DIGITAL CONTROL Transformer 6811This transformer can be used to provide powerfor the TWIN-CENTER. However, as it only givesa maximum of 45 VA to the TWIN-CENTER, it willnot be able to run as many locos as that of thetransformer 6812.3.3.5 The FMZ-LocomotivesFMZ-locomotives with inbuilt FMZ-decoders –irrespective of their age, and whether electricallycodeable or not – can be used on pure FMZ-operationcontrolled from the TWIN-CENTER orTWIN-CONTROL.3.3.6 The Breaker 6860By installing a breaker between each FMZ-couplerand the corresponding track connection, yourlayout will be best protected against short circuitdamage, because the breaker switches off immediatelyon detecting a short circuit.VERY IMPORTANTAs, for technical reasons, there is noanswer-back short for circuit protectionbetween FMZ-couplers and theTWIN-CENTER, it is recommendedthat to obtain the best protectionagainst possible short circuit damage,a breaker 6860 is installed betweeneach coupler and track connection, asshown in diagram below.VERY IMPORTANTIn this case you may not use locos withDCC-decoders otherwise those decodersmay be damaged.Using TWIN-, FMZ- and DCC-locos(according to NMRA), you may have noDC-current on the layout, also not withthe TWIN-coupler.3.3.2 The FMZ-Booster 6805Just like the TWIN-BOOSTER, the FMZ-Boostercan be used to enhance the power performance.97

You will also find sockets onboth the right and left sides of the TWIN-CENTERinto which other pieces of equipment can beconnected, which are compatible with I 2 C-Bus.The TWIN-CENTER includes two plug-in connectorswith clamp-style connections for wiring in thetransformer, tracks, programming track andDCC-booster.1 2 3 4 5 6The arrangement of the clamp plug (with colouredwires) is shown below (as seen from the rear):Programming Trackviolet-whitevioletRunning Track1 2 3 4 5 6violetviolet-white1 Programming Track (violet)2 Programming Track (violet-white)3 Digital Power Track connection to thefront rail (violet-whiteß)4 Digital Power Track connection to therear rail (violet)5 Common A.C. power feed fromtransformer (black)6 A.C. power feed from transformer (yellow)blackyellowto transformer->The 6-pole plug connectorUsing a small screwdriver (2mm wide) insertedthrough the upper opening of the connector andpushing gently, the clamp will open up. Insert theuninsulated, carefully twisted end of the wire fromthe front side holes. Release the screwdriver andthe wire will be securely fixed into its position togive a secure contact.Wire up the transformer, trackwork and similarlythe programming track using the enclosed wires,according to the colour coded description(shown below).4.1 Connecting up thetransformer, trackwork andprogramming trackThe connections for the transformer, trackworkand programming track are made by the 6-poleclamp plug into socket 1.IMPORTANTBefore switching on the transformer,you must make sure that the connectionsfor the transformer and track arein the right sockets of the plug. Anincorrect polarity or mixing of thewires could completely destroy theequipment.TransformerYou will need a transformer with a power outputof at least 45 VA. If you are going to start off withjust a few locos only, and do not intend to runthem all at the same time, then you could use theDIGITAL CONTROL transformer 6811. If you wantto use the full capability of the TWIN-CENTER,the you should use the FLEISCHMANN transformer6812 with its power output of 75VA.The transformer power feed is connected intoclamps 5 (black) and 6 (yellow) of the 6-poleclamp plug for socket 1.98

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 994 The connections of the TWIN-CENTERADVICEThe further a loco runs away from theplace at which the power is fed into thetrack, then the slower it will run - and onreally large layouts a loss of power is unavoidable.It is recommended thereforethat the power should be fed into thetrack at several places around the layout.It is better to set out a ring main (with wire6982), and then from this ring main,connect into the track at roughly 3 metreintervals. Please ensure however, that youconnect them up with all the samepolarity.TrackThe trackwork (2 rail) is connected onto clamps 3and 4 of the clamp plug for socket 1.violet-whiteviolet1 2 3 4 5 6Connection for2 rail trackProgramming TrackThe programming track is one section of trackthat is set up and specially reserved for programmingand reading the coding of loco decoders.VERY IMPORTANTThe track must be absolutely isolatedfrom the running track. In the courseof programming, the isolating breaksshould not be overbridged (by thebogies of an illuminated coach forexample).violetviolet-white1 2 3 4 5 6Connection of theprogramming trackThe track is connected to clamps 1 and 2 of theclamp plug for socket 1.In the basic setting of the equipment (chapter10.1) it is shown how this piece of track is handledby the TWIN-CENTER. Either solely as a 'programmingtrack' or 'automatic', which means forexample that the designated track will only beused whilst programming, or used as a normalpiece of running track. The switching arrangementis carried out automatically by an internal relay.IMPORTANTIf the wiring of the programming trackare swopped over, then a short circuitwill occur when the isolating breaksbetween the programming track andthe running track are run over and theTWIN-CENTER will switch itself offdisplaying the error indication ”shortcircuit“.4.2 Connecting the TWIN-BOOSTER (6807) andFMZ-BOOSTER (6805)The TWIN-BOOSTER (6807) and/or the FMZ-BOOSTER (6805) are connected into socket 2.As the flat cable band joins socket 2 of the TWIN-CENTER with the TWIN-BOOSTER (see instructionsfor use of the TWIN-BOOSTER), then theplug must be correctly inserted so that the cablebetween the TWIN-CENTER and the TWIN-BOO-STER 6807 runs in an upwards position.TWIN-CENTERTWIN-BOOSTERShape and position of the flat cable band.99

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1004 The connections of the TWIN-CENTERTo connect an FMZ-booster (6805) onto socket 2of the TWIN-CENTER, then the adapter-set 6885for FMZ-booster (6805) will be required.4.3 Connecting the DCC-BoosterIn all cases, the DCC-booster can only be used inDCC-format. The FMZ-format can only be givenfrom the TWIN-CENTER, the TWIN-BOOSTERand the FLEISCHMANN FMZ-booster. The DCCboosteris connected into socket 3.1 C = Signal +2 D = Signal -3 E = Short circuitindication wire1 2 3Allocation of the 3-pole clamp plug.DCC-boosterThe DCC-booster has normally only got twoconnector wires which go onto clamps 1 and 2 ofthe 3-pole clamp plug which is connected intosocket 3. If the DCC-booster has the facility forindicating short circuits, then this is connectedinto clamp 3 of the 3-pole plug.ADVICEDCC-boosters with no facility for shortcircuit indication do not have the possibilityto advise the TWIN-CENTER of ashort circuit. They are however, normallyprotected against short circuit.It is only advisable to use DCC-Boosterswhen DCC format exclusively will beused. Either an FMZ-address (either locoor electrical accessory) may be controlled,or an FMZ-Idle-Paket (data paket forsynchronisation, without running commands)must be available. In this case, itmay cause bad running in the DCC-Boosterarea, but above all a short circuit,when traversing the isolation point betweenthe TWIN-CENTER and the DCC-Booster sections, which could lead to acutting out or damage to the equipment.4.4 Connecting LocoNet-BoosterADVICEAs there is no short circuit indicatorwire, these boosters do not have thepossibility to inform the TWIN-CEN-TER of a short circuit. They are, however,normally protected against shortcircuit.4.5 Connecting s88-Moduleonto the answer-back busAnswer-back modules serve to supervise trackoccupation or train supervision when the layout isunder automatic control from a computer.All answer-back modules which correspond tothe s88 standard can be used.TWIN-CENTERShape and position of the flat cable band when wiringup answer-back modules to the TWIN-CENTERThe flat cable band included with the module isconnected to socket 7 of the TWIN-CENTER.The plug must be inserted into the equipment sothat the flat cable band is positioned 'downwards'.If more than one modules are to be used,then the flat cable band runs from the output ofthe last module into the input of the next, so thatall modules lay one behind the other to join ontothe answer-back bus.

The connection forLocoNet T (socket 5) is designed only for handcontroller equipment and equipment that doesnot require a digital track signal.4.8 Connecting I 2 C BusOn both sides of the TWIN-CENTER you will findconnections (socket 8) for equipment for use withI 2 C Bus.The number of pieces of equipment which can beused is limited by the maximum permitted powerof the I 2 C Bus of 1 A.It is worth noting here that I 2 C Bus equipment isusually positioned underneath each other. Controlequipment can therefore only be positionedto the right of the TWIN-CENTER, whilst keyboardscan only be positioned on the left of theTWIN-CENTER. Foreign central controllers withI 2 C Bus can be positioned either left or right of theTWIN-CENTER as desired. For further informationplease contact our customer service department.For the connection, an adapter of the Germanfirm “Uhlenbrock” is required.101

However, in amixed operation with differing digital formats thenbecause of the different developments fromdiverse manufacturers some difficulties mayoccur. For example, some of the older DCCdecodersreact in FMZ-format leading to a jerkystart of the motor. They receive each signal,which is not DCC, for track power and turn themselvesoff in D.C. operation. This can even be thecase for later decoders, and here it may be alleviatedby another setting of the internal operatingperameters, which can naturally be carried outfrom your TWIN-CENTER.102

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1067 The Controller7 The ControllerThe TWIN-CENTER has two inbuilt controllerswhich are completely independent from eachother. They can be found located on the left andright hand sides of the operating unit. Locomotivescan be called up and controlled from eithercontroller.Simultaneously digital decoders with differentdata formats (FMZ, TWIN and DCC according tothe NMRA standard) can be controlled and operated.The controllers will work even whilst the programmingor whilst the settings are changed.7.1 Operation ComponentsADVICEIf the keys [go] and [stop] are operatedsimultaneously for around two seconds,then the TWIN-CENTER will be reset toits switched on mode (reset).The keys [f1] [f2] [f3] [f4]The functions of these keys are dependant uponwhether the relevant controller is running an FMZlocoor another digital loco. Whilst in DCC operation,these keys will operate special functions,like special lighting, horn or smoke generator, themeanings of them on FMZ- or TWIN/FMZ-operationare as follows:[f1][f2][f3][f4]Special functionSetting the individual acceleration inertiaLoco or track precedence(loco precedence is already pre-set)Loco specific emergency stop with storageof the desired speedADVICEOn some DCC-decoders, the functions f5to f8 can be accessed in conjunction withthe [lok#] key (see chapter 7.4).The front of the TWIN-CENTERThe following elements will operate with bothcontrollers:The [go] keyThe power to the main trackwork and onto anysections of track connected to the connectedbooster will be switched on by operating the [go]key. This key can be operated from either controller.The [stop] keyThe power to the main trackwork and onto anysections of track connected to the connectedbooster will be switched off by operating the[stop] key. In the display ”emergency stop“ willbe shown. This key can be operated from eithercontroller.The [function] and [off] keyThey serve to switch the loco lighting on or off.The [lok#] keyInitiates the input process for a loco address.An initially called loc decoder address is automaticallyassigned to the FMZ data format. Locosequipped with DCC-decoder have to be assignedto the DCC data format as described in chapter7.8.On some DCC-decoders, the functions f5 to f8can be accessed by first pressing the [lok#] keyand then the function key [f1, f2, f3 or f4] (seechapter 7.4).106

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1077 The ControllerThe Controller KnobThe controller knob will alter the speed of the locoand its direction. On turning the knob, one willfeel a slight click, each of which corresponds toexactly one speed level. By endless rotation ofthe knob, without end stop, when changinglocos, the TWIN-CENTER will automatically takethe stored speed setting of the newly selectedloco.The DisplayThe large background illuminated LCD displaywill indicate to you the exact running situation atany time.Data Format Loco Address Keyboard StatusSpeedDirectionIndividually indicated at each side is the indicationof each controller of the data format, locoaddresses, speed and direction of the locomotivecurrently under control.Information about the chosen operation mode isdisplayed in the centre.7.2 Loco AddressesThe individual locomotives of a digital controlsystem are called up by their so-called addresses.By keying in a specific numerical sequence,the individual decoder built into each loco willthen recognise it.Each decoder will only react to its own specificaddress, so that only that particular loco with thataddress can be spoken to.7.2.1 Setting Loco AddressesIf any vehicle is to be operated by the TWIN-CEN-TER, then it must be called up under its owndecoder address.The address will be entered by pressing the [lok#]key. The cursor will blink in the correspondingaddress area in the display, indicating that it iswaiting for a loco address.There are then several ways of proceeding.Input via the numeric keyboard• Pressing the [lok#] key(if not already done).• Enter the sequence of numbers for theloco address via the numeric keyboardin the centre operating area of theTWIN-CENTER (12 is shown)• End the address input by- pressing the [↵] key to confirm- pressing another key [f1] [f2] [f3] [f4][function] [off] [lok#]- rotating the control knob- changing the direction (press controlknob)Input using the controller• Pressing the [lok#] key(if not already done)• Setting the loco address via the controlknob of the relevant controller. Proceedingfrom the loco address currently ondisplay, by turning the control knob tothe right the value for the loco addresseswill count upwards, or by turning theknob to the left, they will count downward.By rotating the knob gently theaddresses will count in 1 per each clickstop, or by rotating it faster also in tensor hundreds• End the address input by- pressing the [↵] key to confirm- pressing another key [f1] [f2] [f3] [f4]]function] [off] [lok#]- changing the direction (press controlknob)TIPErroneous entries can be cancelled bypressing the [C] key. If the whole addressis cancelled using the [C] key, so that nonumbers remain showing in the addressarea, by further pressing the [C] keyagain, the old address before the addresschange will be called up once more.107

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1087 The ControllerADVICEIf a loco is called up which is currentlyunder control by another controller, thenthe TWIN-CENTER will let you know bydisplaying ”loco already under control“.The vehicle can then be quite normallycontrolled from either controller. By rotatingthe endless knob without end stopthe TWIN-CENTER will take over theactual speed level of the called up loco.Loco-Info in the display when switched onWhen switching on the TWIN-CENTER or TWIN-CONTROL with software version V1.000, the displaydoes not indicate which vehicle was lastunder the control of the relevant controller whenit was switched off. With software version V1.100,by using the special option SO837, you can selectwhether to recreate the last controller allocationbefore the equipment was switched off ornot:SO837=0 - do not recreate the controller allocation(works setting)SO837=1 - recreate the controller allocation (onthe TWIN-CENTER)SO837=1,2 or 3 - recreate the controller allocation(for up to three TWIN-CONTROLS, which mustbe differentiated between each other by use ofthese numbers).In the case of a recreation of the allocations, thennot only the loco-addresses allocated to the controllerswill be recreated, but also the relevant settingsof the various functions [function] and [f1] to[f4] for DCC-locos, and likewise function [function]and [f3] for FMZ-locos as well.7.2.2 Using the Address StorageFor each of the two controllers, the TWIN-CEN-TER has a memory bank, in which the addresseswhich have previously used on this controller canbe stored. These previous addresses are shownin the display and can be used by:• Pressing the [lok#] key• Pressing the [↓] key7.2.3 Address-storage searchThe addresses of the locos entered will be storedin the TWIN-CENTER in the same sequence asthey were entered. This storage facility can besearched for loco-addresses, for example after along pause, to discover which loco-addressesyou had previously stored:And here’s how to do it:• Press the [Lok#]-key• Press the [→] key: the store can now besearched through forwards• or press the [←] key: the store can nowbe searched through backwards• Press the [↵] key: the address found willbe taken over by the controllerAdvice: An address found will be cancelled bypressing the key [C]. This will be shown in the displayby a minus sign (-....).7.3 Speed ControllerAs delivered, the speed control knob is setto perform in the same way as the same asthe DC-controller – set as ”DC-controller“.The controller knob will alter the speed of the locoand its direction. On turning the knob, one willfeel a slight click, each of which corresponds toexactly one speed level.By endless rotation of the knob, without end stop,when changing locos, the TWIN-CENTER willautomatically take the stored speed setting of thenewly selected loco.7.3.1 Speed control modeThe controller knows two different workingmethods: You can choose whether the speedcontrol knob will operate in the same way as theDC controller does, with a centre-off setting anddirection according to left or right rotation of thecontrol knob (and no special reverser switch) orwhether it will operate as an AC controller does,with an off position on the left hand side, and tochange the direction by simply pressing the controlknob.From the factory, the controller is set to ”DC controller“and will operate in exactly the same wayas a DC controller.DC controller knob mode*0 The DC control knob settingmode is for those who prefer to100 100 control their locomotives as theywould do with a standard 2-railDC controller.108

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1097 The ControllerIn DC operation mode, means that as the knob isrotated to the right, away from the central offposition, the loco will correspondingly gain speedin that direction. As the knob is turned backagain. i.e. back to the central off position, so thespeed of the loco will be reduced until it comes toa halt. If the knob is further turned to the left, theloco will then accelerate away in the oppositedirection.Once it reaches its maximum speed setting thenany further rotation of the knob has no effect, i.e.the maximum speed level remains unaltered inthe display. Also, the control knob cannot be setimmediately in the opposite direction, the speedlevel indicator will remain at level 0. Following apause of about 1 seconds, then speed levels inthe opposite direction can be set. This pause isnecessary because the endless knob has no centralzero setting like a conventional controller.In the operational mode, then a light pressure onthe control knob will result in an emergency stopspecific for this loco (FMZ, DCC).0 100AC controller modeThe AC control knob settingmode is for those who prefer tocontrol their locomotives as theywould do with a standard 3-railAC controller.In this method of operation, the speed is dictatedby rotating the knob to the right, and reduced byturning it to the left. Once the maximum speed orthe off position been reached, then any furtherrotation of the knob in the same direction willhave no further effect. The maximum speed orthe off position will be kept.The running direction, in this operational mode,will be altered by a light pressure on the controlknob. Operating this reverser switch whilst theloco is running will result in an emergency stop forthis loco (FMZ, DCC), as well as a simultaneousreversion of the running direction (watch thearrow on the display). By rotating the knob againto the right, then the loco will now run in theopposite direction.Pre-settingAs delivered, the DC controller mode is activated.Alterations can be made from the basic settingmenu of the TWIN-CENTER.And here is how to do it:• Press the [menu] key• Press the [mode] key• Using the [↓] key, search through untilyou find the entry ”User Interface“• Further with the key [→]• Use the [↓] key until entry”Speed knobs“ is found• Further with the key [→]• Search through with the [↓] key until thedesired entry (DC or AC style knob)is found• Confirm the input with the [↵] key• Return to operation with the [menu] key7.3.2 Speed step displayAs delivered, ”Absolute“ is already pre-set.Two different styles can be selected to indicatethe speed of vehicles in the display.Absolute Display*A direct indication of the speed is shown in speedsteps, according to the data format 0 -14, 0-15,0-27, 0-28, or 0-126.Percentage DisplayIndependent of the data format, the displayshows the speed as a percentage of the maximumspeed.And here is how to do it:• Press the [menu] key• Press the [mode] key• Using the [↓] key, search through untilthe ”User Interface“ entry• Further with [→] key• With the [↓] key until the entry ”locspeed disp“• Further with [→] key• Using the [↓] search through until youfind the desired entry• Confirm the input by using the [↵] key• Back to operation by using the [menu]key109

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1107 The Controller7.4 Light and Special FunctionThe lights and special functions of the loco andfunction decoder can be switched by using thefunction keys, and similarly different operationalfunctions can be allocated for FMZ-decoders.[function]The [function] key switches the loco light on.[off]Operating the [off] key turns the light off once thekey is released. As long as the [off] key is depressed,the light will continue to illuminate, even if itwas not switched on by using the [function] key.The special function keys [f1] [f2] [f3] ]f4]The functions of these keys are dependant uponwhether the relevant controller is running an FMZlocoor another digital loco. Whilst in DCC operation,these keys will operate special functions,like special lighting, horn or smoke generator, themeanings of them on FMZ-operation are as follows:FMZ[f1][f2][f3][f4]Special functionSetting the individual acceleration/ brakinginertia see chapter 7.5Loco or track precedence (loco precedenceis already pre-set) see chapter 7.6Loco specific emergency stop with storageof the desired speed, see chapter7.7DCCFour special functions can be carried out byusing the keys [f1] [f2] [f3] ]f4].In each operation of the keys, the condition of theappropriate special function will be altered - from”on“ to ”off“ or vice versa.Additional special functionsFor decoders which have 8 special functions,accessed by keys [f5] to [f8], the [lok#] key is usedas a selector switch. It must be pressed immediatelypreceding a special function key.This will access the following key combinations:• [lok#] and [f1] switches special function [f5]• [lok#] and [f2] switches special function [f6]• [lok#] and [f3] switches special function [f7]• [lok#] and [f4] switches special function [f8]If the additional functions (f5, f6, f7, f8) are beingused, then the display will indicate that the specialfunction and their condition (1= on, 0= off) haveactually switched.The indication will show for around 2 seconds.During this time, the other special functions (f5 tof8) can be accessed without the need to press the[lok#] key again.7.5 Setting Inertia levelsAs delivered, level ”1“ is pre-setOn FMZ-systems the inertia level for braking andacceleration can be altered at any time. The informationfor the inertia level is not stored inside thevehicle, but actually in the central unit. This willalso operate in the TWIN-TECHNIK with TWIN-DECODERs in FMZ-operation mode and has thebiggest advantage that no special track for programmingis required. Whilst the layout is beingoperated, the inertia level of each individual lococan be set according to the type of train on whichis now coupled.The inertia can be changed to any level between1* to 8.And here is how to do it:• On the controller of the current loco tobe allocated, press key [f2]• The inertia indication VZ in the displaycan be counted up or down by rotatingthe knob• Press [f2] once more to accept the currentvalue and then return to operation7.6 Loco - or TrackPrecedence ControlAs delivered, ”loco precedence“ is pre-setAs opposed to the DCC systems, the FMZsystemalone can be run with loco or track precedence.The track precedence corresponds to the classic2-rail DC operation, in that it is reliant on the110

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1117 The Controllerpolarity in the track to determine which directionthe loco will run on the layout. Once the power inthe track changes polarity, then the loco will runin the opposite direction. This operation methodis particularly suitable for push / pull trains.The loco precedence* corresponds to the classical3-rail operation. Changing the polarity in thetrack does not affect the direction of the loco, inthat its direction of ”funnel forwards“ or ”loco cab1 forwards“ can only be changed from the controller.This method allows a simple runningthrough of reverse loops. In entering or leavingthe reverse loop, it must be ensured that the isolatedreverse loop section is the correct polarityfor exit or entry.FMZ-systems, and now naturally the TWIN-TECHNIK with loco decoders in FMZ-formatincorporate both methods of operation. Themethod for each loco with Decoder in FMZ-formatcan be set for loco or track precedence.The DCC data format knows only the loco precedence,therefor this format is pre-set. However,for locos using the FMZ-fomat, this can be changedby pressing the f3-key for the correspondingloco.And here is how to do it:• On the left or right controller of the currentloco running in loco precedence,the LED ”f3“ is off• Press key ”f3“ of the controller, the locowill now run in track precedence, LED”f3“ is illuminated• Press key ”f3“ once more and the locowill again run in loco precedence andthe LED ”f3“ is no longer illuminatedTAKE CAREIf the precedence is changed from loco totrack or vice versa, during operations,then according to the method currently inuse, the loco may suddenly automaticallychange direction.7.7 Special Emergency StopThe emergency stop as described in chapter 7.3by using pressure on the control knob will set thespeed of the loco concerned to zero. The lococan be set in motion again by turning the knob.However, if you had not taken note of the speedlevel in the display before the emergency stop,the information has now been lost. The previousspeed level can be reached by carefully by hand,being aware at the same time that this could takesome time if a high level of inertia was in use.Using key ”f4" can also be used to operate anemergency stop for a decoder in FMZ-format, butin this case, the previous speed setting will beremembered. By pressing key ”f4" once more,then the old speed level will be automaticallyreset.7.8 Alteration of Data Formatfor individual locosDCC-data format is factory-designatedIn the software V1.000, FMZ is preset as the dataformat for each new loco decoder called up. Thishas been changed for version V1.100. Now theDCC-format with 14 speed steps is the presetformat. These alterations will also affect theworks setting values of the special options:SO25=1, SO 907=4.A loco decoder address when first called up willautomatically be in DCC-data format. If the locois fitted with a different type of decoder, then thedesired data format has to be allocated in thebasic settings.Possible settings are as follows:DCC* 14*-27-28-128 DCC-format with 14, 27,28 or 128 speed stepsFMZ FMZ format with 15speed stepsTIPThe data format which will be mainlyused, or that of the majority of your locomotivesshould be the format set in theTWIN-CENTER.111

Eachloco address can be allocated a particular data formatso 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, 28or 128 speed stepsFMZFMZ format with 15 speedstepsVirtual 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 callup a vehicle under one or another decoderaddress.Because the TWIN-CENTER can be used for virtualaddresses of up to 4 figures, it is possible tocall up an FMZ-loco under 221 for example, eventhough the decoder itself can only be set withaddresses from 1 to 119.To set a virtual loco address please see chapter7.9.7.8.2 Indication of data format in displayThe data format used for a particular locoaddress will be displayed as a prefix in front of theloco address.The following formats are valid:DCC of all formats = dFMZ= fvirtual addresse = *double heading = + (see chapter 7.10)7.8.3 Setting the data format for a loco• Press the [lok#] key• Enter the loco address• Press the [↵] key• Press the [lok#] key• Press the [menu] key• The current loco data format will appearin the display under the heading ”locosettings", which will be indicated at theend of the row by '*'• Using the [↓] key and [+] key, searchthrough until the desired data format isfound• By pressing the [↵] key, the indicatedformat will be accepted and indicated atthe end of the row by '*'• Press the [menu] key to return to operation7.9 Virtual Loco Addresses– Loco Numbers –7.9.1 IntroductionBoth virtual and real addresses can be used withthe TWIN-CENTER.For virtual addresses (loco numbers) there is anarea from 1 to 9999 available for use. They can beused for example to call up locomotives usingtheir class number (often 3 numbers) or their runningnumber (4 numbers), independently of theaddress area of the loco decoders which they areactually using. Such addresses are much easierto recall because of their relevance, as a numberwhich bears no resemblance to the vehicle.A virtual loco address can be allocated to anyloco decoder.Virtual loco addresses (loco numbers) can bespoken to from the controllers of the TWIN-CEN-TER and the TWIN-CONTROL and also from theTWIN-BOXES with their plugged in hand controllers.The use of virtual addresses from controlequipment which is connected via the I 2 C-bus isunfortunately not possible.Locomotives with virtual addresses (loco numbers)can be nevertheless called up on their normaldecoder address.112

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1137 The ControllerLoco numbers are stored in the memory of theTWIN-CENTER. If a virtual address is not going tobe used again, then it must be removed from thememory.Virtual loco addresses (loco numbers) can, justlike other addresses, also be used for doubleheading(see chapter 7.10).7.9.2 Setting virtual loco addresses– Loco Numbers –• Press the [lok#] key• Insert the decoder address• Press the [↵] key• Press the [lok#] key• Press the [menu] key• Using the [↓] key, search through untilthe entry ”Virt.Addr" is foundLoco Settings=Virt.Addr . .221*• Insert the numerical sequence for thevirtual address (loco number). Ideally,addresses should reflect the class numberor running number of the train.ADVICEThe virtual addresses can be within anarea from 1 to 9999. They should not bethe same as the address of another locodecoder in use.• The address will be confirmed with the[↵] key, and indicated with '*' at the endof the row• Press the [menu] key to return to operationNow the virtual loco address (loco number) canbe called up just like a normal address and, inaddition to the decoder address, be used as wellin order to control the locomotive. It can just aseasily be used for double-heading. It will be indicatedin the display by '*' in front of the addressinput.7.9.3 Allocation DemandsThe allocation between a virtual loco address andthe corresponding decoder address can beshown by the TWIN-CENTER.And here is how to do it:• Choose the virtual address(loco number)• Press the [lok#] key• Press the [menu] key• In the display will appear for examplethe following indication:7.9.4 Deleting a virtual addressA virtual address (loco number) can be deleted bycalling up the decoder under its decoder addressand deleting the entry in menu ”Loco settings -Virt. Addr.“ by using the [C] key and confirmingwith the [↵] key.7.10 Double HeadingSeveral locomotives can be run at once using onecontroller of the TWIN-CENTER. One locomotivecan just as easily be used under its decoderaddress as by its virtual address (loco number) tomake up double-heading.In this so-called double-heading up to 4 locomotivescan be used in tandem. All together up toeight different double-headings are possible.Naturally it is sensible to make up double-headingusing locomotives which are similar in theirperformance: as a general rule, the same speedlevel for one may not be the same as for anotherbecause of its different gearing.7.10.1 Setting up double heading• Press the [lok#] key• Insert the loco address• Press the [↵] keyThe loco now called up is the so-called”basis-loco“113

Additionally,the speed display will automatically bechanged to percentage.7.10.2 Retaining double-headinglocomotivesA double-heading can only be called up and controlledunder the address of the ”basis-loco“.If a traction locomotive is called up under its ownaddress, then the indication ”MUL“ will be displayedinstead of the speed setting, but withoutdirection indication. The direction of this loco cannevertheless be individually changed, although atthe beginning of the double-heading run all locoswill be set to the same direction.ADVICEThe direction can only be changed if thecomplete double-heading remains unaltered.The speed level of the basis-locomust be set at ”0“The special functions (f1 to f4) of the coupled uplocos in double-heading can still be operatedunder their own individual addresses independentlyfrom the basis-loco. It should be notedhere though that this is not always the most sensibleoperation.If locos with differing number of speed levels arecoupled together into a double-header, it isrecommended that the loco with the lowest numberof speed levels be selected as the basis-loco.The speed of the locos with more speed levelswill then be more suitable for the basis-loco. If,for example, a basis-loco with 14 speed levels iscoupled together with a loco with 28 speedlevels, the decoder with 14 levels will raise itsspeed one level per notch of the controller, whilstthe loco with 28 levels will raise its speed 2 levelsfor each notch of the controller.In the opposite case, i.e. the basis-loco with 28speed levels, then the loco with 14 levels mustalter its level by half the value for every notch ofthe controller. This is not possible though.IMPORTANTFor trouble free operation of several locomotivesin double-heading, it should beensured that all commonly driven locomotivesshould be set to the same minimumand maximum speed in advance.ADVICEThe settings for the minimum and maximumspeeds must be set in accordancewith the corresponding perameters of theloco decoders.Details can be ascertained from the instructionsof the appropriate decoder.114

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1157 The Controller7.10.3 Deleting of double-headingA double-heading can either be completely deletedor the locos can be individually ”uncoupled“.And here is how to do it:• Call up the double-heading via theaddress of the basis-loco(if not already carried out)• Press the [lok#] key• Press the [C] keyConsist:remove all locos• Using the [[↓] key search through for thedesired entry• Confirm the choice by the [↵] key• End with the [menu] keyADVICEIn the menu to delete a double-heading,the decoder addresses of the locomotiveswill appear in the display and notthose of the virtual addresses.7.10.4 Storing of double-headingDouble-heading can be stored and thereforeused again if the start option of the TWIN-CEN-TER is set to ”auto“ (see chapter 14.13).7.11 Hand Controller OperationThe already well-known hand controller 6820 ofFMZ and the TWIN hand controller 6821 can naturallyalso be used in conjunction with the TWIN-TECHNIK. Those hand controllers are connectedto the TWIN-CENTER via TWIN-BOXES.The hand controllers will be given virtual addresses(hand controller numbers) which will later beused in operation again linked in with the locoaddress.ADVICEThe hand controllers are able to generate28 speed levels in each direction. A runningcommands for DCC-locos in 128speed level mode are calculated automatically.7.11.1 Allocating a hand controllerto a TWIN-BOXThe TWIN-BOXES are connected to the TWIN-CENTER via the LocoNet. Each TWIN-BOX has afour pole DIP-switch to set their individualaddresses on the LocoNet. The information to setthe DIP-switch is shown in supplement A4 andsimilarly in the instructions with the TWIN-BOX.Each TWIN-BOX has four connector ports forhand controllers, and the hand controllers can beplugged in at random. The ports are designatedA, B, C and D, in order to differentiate them easilyfrom those of the electrical accessory receiver.Ports of the TWIN-BOX can just as easily be leftvacant if desired.The virtual address (hand controller number) of ahand controller will be assigned in a menu of theaddress of a TWIN-BOX together with a port.And here is how to do it:• Press the [menu] key• Press the [mode] key• Search through using the [↓] key untilthe entry ”Hand contr.“ is found• Further with the [→] key• Using the [↓] key search through untilthe ”Hand contr.

Thehand controller 6821 incorporates two flip switches.In the TWIN-TECHNIK, the functions ofthese switches can be allocated to operate anyof the four different functions of the TWIN-CEN-TER as desired.Switch functions:• Individual loco emergency stop, exactlythe same as pressing the control knob ofthe TWIN-CENTER• Complete emergency stop, exactly thesame as pressing the ”stop“ key• Function to operate the lights, exactlythe same as pressing the key ”function“and ”off“• Special function f1 corresponding to thekey ”f1“The TWIN-CENTER is also prepared for a secondhand controller whose function can also be set asdesired.The switch function can be individually set foreach TWIN-BOX, making the operation for allhand controllers plugged into a particular TWIN-BOX the same.And here is how to do it:• Press the [menu] key• Press the [mode] key• Search through using the [↓] key untilthe entry ”hand contr.“ is found• Further with the [→] key• Using the [↓] key search through untilthe ”TWIN-BOX“• Further with the [→] keyTWIN-BOX12 Sw.1=Loco Stp• In the first column under input the numberof the TWIN-BOX from 1 to 16• Further with the [→] key• In the second column behind ”Sw.“input the number of the switch, 1 or 2• Further with the [→] key• Using the [↓] key search through untilthe desired entry is found• Confirm the input with the [↵] key• Return to operation with the [menu] keyShould the same function need to be allocated toboth switches, then the second switch is notactive. The functions will be active in switch settingI as well as the emergency stop.7.11.3 Allocating a loco to a hand controllerA loco will be allocated to a hand controller byfirstly pressing the [lok#] key followed by the[mode] key one after the other. In the central areaof the display, a question will appear, askingwhich hand controller number (from 1 to 16) theloco is to be allocated. You can put in the numberdirectly using the numerical keyboard or also byusing the [+] and [↓] keys for counting higher andlower. After confirmation with the [↵] key, theaddress of the loco to be taken under control willbe requested, and likewise can be directly enteredor by counting upwards or downwards. Byanother operation of the [↵] key the allocation willbe confirmed. Now the loco can be run by usingthe hand controller.And here is how to do it:• Press the [lok#] key• Press the [mode] key• Enter the hand controller number via thenumeric keyboard• Press the [↵] key• Enter the numerical sequence of theloco address (decoder address) via thenumerical keyboard• Confirm by using the [↵] keyOnce a loco has been allocated to a hand controller,it can then be controlled from this hand controller,even if it is allocated to another controller of theTWIN-TECHNIK. The loco can even be allocated toseveral hand controllers. So, for example, severalhand controllers all around the layout can all havethe same loco allocated to them and then can becontrolled from different locations.ADVICEThe hand controllers are able to generate 28speed levels in each direction. A runningcommands for DCC-locos in 128 speed levelmode are calculated automatically. However,116

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:57 Uhr Seite 1177 The Controlleras the hand controller does not have an endlessregulator like the TWIN-CENTER, theregulator could be in the wrong positionwhen the loco is allocated to this particularhand controller. So that the loco does notimmediately run backwards, the regulatorwill only become active when it is actuallymoved for the first time. Besides which, onlythe speed information will be transmittedand not the direction information. The directioninformation will only be taken over if, inthe meantime, the speed zero has been set.7.11.4 Cancelling a loco/hand controller allocationIn order to cancel the loco/hand controller allocation,first press the [lok#] key and then the [mode]key. After inputting the relevant number of the handcontroller, the TWIN-CENTER will display the addressof the loco currently allocated to it. By pressingthe [C] key, this allocation will be cancelled.And here is how to do it:• Press the [lok#] key• Press the [mode] key• Enter the hand controller number via thenumeric keyboard• Press the [↵] key• Using the [C] key delete the current locoallocated address• Confirm by using the [↵] keyADVICEIf another loco is to be allocated to an alreadyoccupied hand controller, then the currentaddress can be simply overwritten byputting in the new address.7.12 LOK-BOSSTheLOK-BOSS is connected to the LocoNet-Tconnector of the TWIN-CENTER by a LocoNetcable and works as a TWIN-BOX with 4 handcontrollers connected to it. The LOK-BOSS identifiesitself automatically as the TWIN-BOX no. 1(this cannot be altered), its 4 LED positions representthe ports A to D of the TWIN-BOX. As shownin chapter 7.11, the “virtual” hand controllers ofthe LOK-BOSS first are assigned hand controllernumbers; after that you can assign any locoaddress to these hand controllers. As a result,you can control, with the LOK-BOSS connectedto the TWIN-CENTER, not only the locos no. 1through 4, but all the locos the TWIN-CENTERhas in store.If there are several LOK-BOSSes connected, youcan still control the same 4 locos only. The LOK-BOSS controls basically with 14 speed steps. Incase the TWIN-CENTER is preset with anotherspeed step value, these values (e.g. 28 speedsteps) will be transferred to the LOK-BOSSaccordingly.7.13 Data Compression119 locos can be run simultaneously using theTWIN-CENTER. There is no limit to the addressesother than the space available. However: whoactually can operate 199 locos at he same time,or even owns such a large layout where they allcould run? From this question, it is clear that thedata for all the locos does not need to be availablefrom the TWIN-CENTER at the same time.The TWIN-CENTER therefore incorporates anexperience system which recognises that certainlocos have not been accessed by the transmissioncycle over a long period of time and subsequentlyremoves them. This experience systemcan be called ”data compression“.The time allowed for data compression of a locoand the conditions, whether it should be for standinglocos or running ones as well, can be set byusing the options 27 and 28 (see supplement A1)Naturally, the automatic data compression for anyor all of the locos in memory storage of the TWIN-CENTER can also be switched off using this specialoption.7.14 Operation ofFunction DecodersFunction decoders serve to operate functionmodels or can be installed in addition to the locodecoder inbuilt in the vehicle if several functionsneed to be operated as can be handled by theloco decoder.With the procedure described in chapter 7.8, thedata format of these function decoders can alsobe altered.117

Under themenu item ”start mode“, all the information requiredfor the next running session can be entered.No loco dataNo data from previous running sessions will beused.Auto, Speed = 0All locos used, including double heading, in theprevious running session will be used with theirsame direction and their special functions asbefore.Auto + Speed*Question whether to recreate the speed setting(new with V1.100)If you have set the start-up mode of your TWIN-CENTER according to chapter 7.14 and likewisechapter 14.13, so that when switching on, thespeed of the vehicles as you last used them willbe recreated (auto.+Geschw.*), then this will continueto be the case: all vehicles will set themselvesin motion according to the last settings beforethe switching off.Using special option SO827 it is now possible tohave a safety question built in after switching onthe equipment again. Here you will be askedonce more, whether you really wish to recreate allthe speed settings according to the last operationbefore you switched off.SO827=0 - no additional safety question (workssetting)SO827=1 - additional safety question turned onAnd here is how to do it:Restore locospeed? yes• With the [↵] key recreate the loco speedOr alternatively:• Using the keys [+] and likewise [↓]change the setting “yes” or “no”• With the [↵] key - take over no locospeedNOTE(With software version V1.000 only the followingis possible:Auto + Speed* (V1.000)As well as the data of direction and special functions,the speed of all locos will be used.In which case, the complete operations as whenlast switched off will be used again.And here is how to do it (V1.000):• Press the [menu] key• Press the [mode] key• Search through using the [↓] key untilthe entry ”loco start mode“ is found• Further with the [→] key• Using the [↓] key search through untilthe desired entry is found• Confirm the input with the [↵] key• Return to operation with the [menu] key)118

Four points or signals,or 8 uncoupler tracks can be connected onto onereceiver module.points or signals. The black connecting wire isconnected onto the middle clip 2, the light brownwire onto clip 1 and the dark brown wire onto clip 3.6852Connecting the electrical accessoryreceiver module 6852Basically, the electrical accessory receiver module6852 can be connected straight onto the nearestpiece of track, although it would be recommendableto connect up several receiver modulesonto one ”ring main“ connected directly into theTWIN-CENTER or a connected in booster. Thetwo input clips 3 and 4 of the of the 4-pole inputof the receiver module 6852 are connected toeach rail of the output of the equipment. It doesnot matter which clip is connected to which rail.The 6852 detects switching commands in both -DCC and FMZ - formats.Just like a digital loco, the receiver module has itsown digital decoder address. On receiver modulesoperated in FMZ mode, this is set by the tinybank of switches (DIL switch). A table showingthe allocation of decoder addresses for eachswitch setting is shown in supplement A2. Forreceiver modules operated in DCC mode, theadresses can be programmed electronically withthe use of the TWIN-CENTER.Besides the receiver module 6852, the TWIN-CENTER can also speak to other electrical accessorieswhich use the DCC-data format. Receivermodules for each format (TWIN / FMZ and DCC)can be used alongside each other. To set thedecoder address of a DCC receiver module, pleaseconsult the relevant instructions.Connecting points onto the electricalaccessory receiver module 6852The electrical accessory receiver module 6852has four sets of 3-pole outputs to connect up8.1 Notifying Points / Signals tothe TWIN-CENTERThe individual points or signals are allocated a particularnumber (=virtual address) which, beforetheir operation, are notified to the TWIN-CENTER.In notifying a virtual address, the information willshow which decoder number the receiver modulehas, on which output the point or signal isconnected, and which data format TWIN/FMZ orDCC is relevant for this receiver module.Virtual addresses of points or signals can be from1 to 2000.The decoder addresses of the electrical accessoryreceiver module 6852 in FMZ mode can befrom 1 to 119, and their data format will indicatedby the letter F.A decoder address of a receiver module 6852 inFMZ mode cannot be identical to that of a decoderaddress already allocated to a loco.In DCC mode, for electrical accessory receivermodules the addresses from 1 to 500 can beused, and the data format will be indicated by theletter D.And here is how to do it:• Press the [menu] key• Press the [mode] key• Search through by pressing the [↓]several times until the entry ”Access.Setting” is reached• Continue with the [→] key119

(bit)> Paged Prog.> Main line Prog.> long Addresses> Extended Prog.The sub-menu ”FMZ” serves to programm, orlikewise, read the different FMZ- and TWIN-decoderswhich are available.10.4.1 Reading the Decoder AddressUsing the menu item ”read“ the addresses of allof the previously available FMZ- and similarlyTWIN-DECODERs can be read. This includesequally decoders which are electronically codeableas well as decoders with which the addresshas been set by using coding paint. If no addressis discernable, then the corresponding error informationwill be displayed.And here is how to do it:• Press the [mode] key until the indication”Programming Mode“ appears in thedisplay, alternatively the keys [mode] and[4] (see chapter 8.2).• Press the [menu] key• Using the [↓] key, search through untilthe entry ”FMZ“ is found• Further with the [→] key• Using the [↓] key, search through untilthe entry ”Read“ is found• Start the search with the [↵] keyThe sought after address will appear inthe display• Return to operation with the [menu] key10.4.2 Programming the AddressesFMZ-locos with electronically codeable addressesand locos with TWIN-DECODER can have anew address 1 - 119 programmed by the TWIN-CENTER.And here is how to do it:• Press the [mode] key until the indication”Programming Mode“ appears in thedisplay, alternatively the keys [mode] and[4] (see chapter 8.2).• Press the [menu] key• Search through with the [↓] key until theentry ”FMZ“ is found• Proceed with the [→] key• Using the [↓] key, search through untilthe entry ”Address Progr.“ is found• Further with the [→] key• Enter the FMZ-address from 1-119• Start the programming procedure withthe [↵] keySuccessful programming will be indicatedin the display• Return to operation with the [menu] keyThere are FMZ-locos with unalterable addresses.These cannot be reprogrammed electronically.10.4.3 Additional ProgrammingOn the TWIN-DECODER it is possible to programadditional parameters besides the address.These are the minimum and maximum runningspeeds as well as the so-called control characteristics(control characteristic curves), i.e the styleand manner, in which steps the speed betweenthe minimum and maximum speed will be affectedby the controller.The minimum speed can be set to be between1% and 99% of the maximum possible speed.The maximum speed can be set to be between2% and 100% of the maximum possible speed.If the maximum speed is entered as less then theminimum speed then an error indicator will appear.The entry will not be accepted.Three types of control characteristic curves”SKL“ can be selected:126

Theactual programmed value for any one address willremain stored as long as the equipment is switchedon. If however, the perameter of a decodershould need to be altered again, the last enteredvalue will appear in the corresponding menu.10.5 Programming DCC-DecodersProgramming procedure for DCC-decoders willdepend on the manufacturer’s own procedure.The TWIN-CENTER is capable of carrying out allwell-known procedures. DCC-decoders can beprogrammed and read on standard tracks or on aprogramming track. TWIN-decoders have got 2programming languages and therefore can alsobe programmed just like pure DCC-decoders.10.5.1 Register-ProgrammingUsing the menu ”register-prog.“, DCC-decoderswhich expect their programming to be done in 8programm registers can be programmed. This isparticularly the case for older decoders, but alsojust a few newer ones require this type of programmingtoo. The programming menu indicatesthe following display:The register number is entered into the left handcolumn and the value to be allocated into theright hand column.The entry is carried out either using the numericalkeyboard or using the [+] key for value higherthan 1 or with the [↓] key for value lower than 1.The [→] key will change the cursor into the righthand column. Here the values are valid between0 and 255.127

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:58 Uhr Seite 12810 Programming ModeUsing the [↵] key, the programming will be carriedout in the desired register. Leaving the columnusing the [←] or [→] keys then no programmingwill be carried out.Whilst the programming is under way, the activityof the TWIN-CENTER will be indicated in the displayby the word ”prog“ and by a beam crossingthe upper part of the display. After the successfulprogramming of a register value ”o.k“ will appearin the upper part of the display.If an error occurs during the programming, thenan error indication will be shown in the display(see chapter 10.5.8).If the [↵] key is pressed during the cursor is in theleft hand column, the TWIN-CENTER will read outthe value of the register. During the read out procedure,the word ”read“ will identify the readactivity of the TWIN-CENTER together with abeam across the upper part of the display. Thisprocess can take up to 30 seconds.If an error occurs during the read out procedure,then an error indication will be shown in the display(see chapter 10.5.8).ADVICEOne cause for the error indication couldbe that the decoder register is a registerwhich cannot be read or written, or thevehicle is not in proper contact with theprogramming track. In this case, makesure that proper contact is made, andthen with the cursor once again in the lefthand column with the [←] key, the readout procedure can be carried out with the[↵] key again.After a successful read out procedure the indication”o.k.“ appears in the display together withthe value of the register. This value can, as describedabove, be changed.TAKE CAREThe register number 1 contains theaddress of the decoder.Especially when dealing with older decoders, avalue should never be entered which is largerthan the highest possible decoder address forthis type (see decoder description). In case ofdoubt, no address higher than 99.10.5.2 Bytewise CV-ProgrammingWith the menu ”CV-Prog.bytew“, DCC-decoderswhich expect their programming in up to 1024configuration variables (CV) can be programmed.The meaning of these CV’s you can extract fromthe decoder’s operating instructions.The CV-programming is also known as ”directprogramming“. One operation can take up to 5seconds.The program menu is shown in the following display:The number of the desired configuration variables(CV1...1024) can be entered in the left handcolumn, in the right hand column the value whichthis configuration variable should have. Possiblevalues are from 0 to 255.The programming and read out procedures aredescribed in chapter 10.5.1.10.5.3 Bitwise CV-ProgrammingWith the menu ”CV-Prog.bitw“, DCC-decoderswhich expect their programming in up to 1024configuration variables (CV) can be programmed.As opposed to the bytewise programming, hereeach bit of a configuration variable can be individuallyaltered or read out. This is very handy forconfiguration variables, as their individual bitshave different meanings and will be used to fixthe decoder options. The meaning of the Bits inthe respective CVs you can extract from thedecoder’s operating instructions.The program menu is shown in the following display:The menu has three input columns. In the lefthand column the number of the desired configu-128

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:58 Uhr Seite 12910 Programming Moderation variable (CV1...1024) can be entered, in thecentre column the bit number and in the righthand column the bit value (0 or 1).TAKE CAREThe TWIN-CENTER expects the bit numberingin numbers 0 - 7. In several decoderdescriptions bit numbers 1 - 8 areused. This should be noted and correspondinglytransposed.The programming and read out procedures aredescribed in chapter 10.5.1 as for the registerprogramming, with the difference though, that theread out procedure in the centre column willalways be started.ADVICEIf the ”direct bit“ programming mode (thebitwise programming of CV's) of thedecoder in use is not capable of beingcarried out, then an error indication willbe shown in the display. This means thatno programming of the desired bits canbe carried out with this menu item.An alteration of the desired bits can always becarried out under the menu item ”bytewise CVprogramming“ (see supplement A3).10.5.4 Paged-ProgrammingWith the menu ”Paged Prog.“ DCC-decoderswhich expect their programming in up to 1024configuration variables (CV), can be programmed,but with the ”paged“ programming.The program menu is shown in the following display:In the left hand column the number of the desiredconfiguration variable (1-1024) can be entered, inthe right hand column the value which these configurationvariable should have. Possible valuesare between 0 and 255.The programming and read out procedures aredescribed in chapter 10.5.1 as for the registerprogramming.10.5.5 Main line ProgrammingWith the menu ”Main line Prog.“ DCC-decoderscan be programmed whilst on the main track (i.e.the normal layout). Prerequisite is that the decoderis capable of the Main line Programming.Whilst the running operations are continuing, thena correction of the acceleration or braking inertiaof a particular vehicle can be easily and quicklyundertaken for example.The decoder will have been programmed by theCV-programming. A read out of the decoderwhilst on the main track is not possible.ADVICEDecoders can only be programmed onthe main line whilst the vehicle is stationery.The speed level ”0“ must also be setfor the relevant loco.After selecting the programming menu, the displaylooks like this:Main line Prg.:Loco addr ....Next, the address of the decoder to be programmedmust be entered. Once the address hasbeen confirmed with the [↵] key, then the displaywill look like this:Loco 1:CV ..1 = ---In the left hand column the number of the desiredconfiguration variable (1-1024) can be entered, inthe right hand column the value which these configurationvariable should have. Possible valuesare between 0 and 255.The programming and read out procedures aredescribed in chapter 10.5.1 as for the registerprogramming.10.5.6 Programming ”longer“ AddressesIn chapter 10.5.2 we have described the programmingof CVs, whereas the CVs (see alsooperating instructions of your decoder) havetotally different meanings.129

6802_10_12_04_Handbuch_GB 01.03.2007 13:58 Uhr Seite 13010 Programming ModeAccording to DCC standards, e.g. the addresses1 ... 127 of a loco are stored within CV#1. In thiscase, these addresses are referred to as "shortaddresses”. Higher addresses from 128 ... 9999cannot be stored within one single CV; here twoCVs (CV#17, CV#18) are required. These addressesthen are referred to as ”long addresses".The same goes for receiver modules for electricalaccessories 6852, we also have "short addresses":1 ... 63 (CV#513) and "long addresses":64 ... 500 (CV#513, CV#521).For programming of the long addresses, yourTWIN-CENTER (from software V1.100) has a specialmenu for each, locos and receiver modules.You can switch between these menu items by useof the keys [+] and [↓].long Addresses> Loco addr.long Addresses> AC Dec addr.a) Long addresses of locomotivesThe ”long address“ menu consists of both theunder menu items ”read“ and ”programming“.The long addresses can be displayed and readout using the [↵] key under the ”read“ menu.After entering the address value larger than 127and confirming with the [↵] key, the long addresswill be programmed under the menu ”programming“.behaviour can be altered, see appendixA1.b) Long addresses of receiver modules forelectrical accessoriesFor programming of addresses of receiver modulesselect the programming menu >MA Dec Adr.By using the menu >Programming, you can comfortablyprogram the addresses of your receivermodules 6852 in the range 1 ... 500, coveringboth – short and long addresses.ADVICEAs opposed to loco-decoder-adresses,the electrical accessory decoder 6852need not be set to decide whether theshort or long address is to be used.ATTENTIONThe TWIN-CENTER also has the item selection>Read in the above mentionedmenu and is therefore prepared to alsoread long addresses. Anyway the receivermodule 6852 does not have this featureat the moment. It can be programmedonly. If you install a little light bulb or anotherelectrical load between the terminals1 and 2 at output 1 of the receiver module,the successful programming will bedisplayed by an "ok" on the TWIN-CEN-TER.Nevertheless, it is still possible to program theshort address of a receiver module as shown inchapter 10.5.2 by using the bytewise CV programmingof CV#513.See also Supplement A1.IMPORTANTThe selection, whether a decoder willreact on its short or on its long address, iscarried out by an internal "pointer”. TheCV#29 Bit 5 represents that pointer. If thatbit has the value 0, the short address isused. If it has the value 1, the longaddress is used.Your TWIN-CENTER with the V1.100software is pre-set to switch that pointeraccordingly whenever there is a readingor writing of a long respectively shortaddress. This means, that the respectiveaddress will be activated.By using the special option 662, this130

It is calculatedon a characteristic line with 28 contributaryvalues. In order to run with this 4-point characteristicline, then in the loco decoder CV29 Bit4=1must be programmed. This characteristic line ispreset for all FLEISCHMANN decoders.Many decoders from other manufacturers utiliseonly a 3-point line, where CV29 Bit4=0 is to beprogrammed.ATTENTIONNot all decoders will recognise this type of characteristicline, so please consult the instructionsof your decoder.10.5.8 Error recognition when ProgrammingIf an error occurs during the programming or readout stages then an error indication will appear inthe upper section of the display.Here are some possible errors:Error In the programming or readout procedurethe relevant value cannot beprogrammed, or similarly not read.k.

There is a short circuit on the programmingtrack.Anschl. The programming track has a prohibitedconnection to the standardrunning track.k.Page The decoder has no page mode.11 The Computer-InterfaceThe computer-interface is the fast connection tothe computer. On the TWIN-CENTER it is handledby a serial computer connector port with a 9-poleSub-D-plug. This connector port can be found onany IBM compatible PC or laptop and an Apple-Macintosh machine. Many times this connectorport will be known as COM-connector, modemconnector, V.24- or RS 232 connector port.The interface (socket 6 on the TWIN-CENTER)can be connected to a computer using a modemcable (Extension cable 1:1).With a data interchange rate of a maximum 19200Baud (Baud = Bit per second) the interface of theTWIN-CENTER is extremely fast. It is designedfor use with an IBM compatible PC with a datainterchange rate of 2400 Baud and LocoNet-Syntax(see also chapter 14.9.2).11.1 Basic settings of the interfaceAs delivered. the settings are:Data Rate: 2400 bit/sSyntax: LocoNet-SyntaxComputer: PCThe TWIN-CENTER can be controlled from acomputer using the inbuilt interface.

You must adjustthe syntax depending on the computer programyou intend to use to control your layout.The TWIN-CENTER operates with its own commandsequence (TC-Syntax) as printed on nextpage. This sequence includes commands whichare also used to control the FMZ-central unit6800 via a computer.In addition, the TWIN-CENTER also incorporatesas an alternative, the syntax of the Intellibox fromthe firm of Uhlenbrock. These syntax can be usedfor example, to create a PC control programmwhich could not be done with FMZ.

If thereturned signals appear on the computer screen,then the operator knows that the TWIN-CENTERhas understood the instructions.If no signal is sent back from the TWIN-CENTER,then is shows that there is either no connectionbetween them, or the TWIN-CENTER is not readyto receive. The echo operation means that somecomputers can also be used with the TWIN-CEN-TER even if the hardware protocol will not functionvia the four command cables.If false commands are received from the computer,the TWIN-CENTER can react with three differenterror indicators:X = channel errorThe TWIN-CENTER comes up with ”X“ when onetries to speak to a prohibited address.Y = Function errorIf the function to be carried out is wrong, then ”Y“will be shown. False function can be for example:• setting the speed level ”16“ (there areonly 15 speed levels from ”0“ to ”15“)• Inertia level ”9“ (there are only inertialevels ”1“ to ”8“)The computer connector socket 6 of the TWIN-CENTER is connected as follows:594837261DTRDSRCDGNDnot usedCTSTX (Data to Computer)not usedDTRRX (Data from Computer)Leads 2, 3, 5 and 8 run to the computer.Leads 1, 4, and 6 are joined together with eachother in the TWIN-CENTER.In a connection with a 9-pole socket, normally allconnection poles are wired one to one with eachother.

Only in thisway can signal or points which have been passedcan be switched, or trains stopped or startedaccordingly.The so-called s88 answer-back modules supervisethe sections of track and transmit their condition”this section is occupied by a train“ or ”thissection is not occupied by a train“ back to thecentral unit. The computer control mechanismcan receive these pieces of information from theinterface and use them to coordinate its controlcommands accordingly. S88 answer back modulesare not available from FLEISCHMANN. Pleaseask your specialist dealer.A total of 31 s88 modules (addresses 1 to 31)each with 16 inputs can be connected into theanswer-back bus of the TWIN-CENTER and additionalexternal modules (addresses 32 to 128)connected via the LocoNet.

That’sbecause in CV29, bit 5, a so-called “indicator”has been set (CV29 bit 5=1). If the loco is to becontrolled using the shorter address once more,then this indicator must be reset (CV29 bit 5=0).From software V1.100 of the TWIN-CENTER thebehaviour of the address indicator can be adjustedusing the special option SO662. The value ofthe special option is made up of different partvalues, each according to which behaviour is selected.Setting the address indicator for short/longaddresses according to the reading/writing:Part value 1: Use the long address after readingthe long address -> CV29.5=1Part value 2: Use the long address after writingthe long address ->CV29.5=1Part value 8: use the short address after readingof CV1 (short address) -> CV29.5=0Part value 16: use the short address after wrintingof CV1 (short address) ->CV29.5=0Example: if this long address is to be used afterwriting/reading, or this short address is to beused afterwriting/reading (CV1), then the value ofthe special option should be SO662=27(27=1+2+8+16). However, if after writing/reading,the long address should be set to this, or whenwriting/reading the short address should not beset back to this, then the value of the special optionshould be SO662=3 (3=1+2). This now correspondsto the instructions of the software V1.100.145
