Configuration for a Locomotive
mfx Locomotives

All of the definitions for a locomotive are made here. They are stored in the Central Station.

When a locomotive is registered with its locomotive card, all of the definitions have been made already on the card. You can change these definitions in any event and save the changed data on the card where applicable with the button .

The locomotive can be assigned a name of your choice under "Name", and this name enables you to recognize the locomotive immediately. To do this, press briefly on the button to the right of the entry field so that a keyboard is shown. You don't have to refer to the address here. Also, you can look for an image or icon for the locomotive. There is a whole series of locomotive icons available.

The type of decoder installed in the locomotive is selected under "Decoder Type". This is only necessary if a new locomotive is being entered manually. You can select from these types:
- MM2 locomotive with decode switches
- MM2 programmable locomotive
- mfx locomotives register themselves

The Central Station does not use the address for an mfx locomotive to call it up. The address is only necessary for earlier locomotive controllers. The address for an mfx locomotive is therefore shown as "0". If this address is changed, this change only affects operation with earlier locomotive controllers. It has no effect on operation with the Central Station. This address is accordingly not blocked for other locomotives. The address can be changed with the + / - buttons.

Another option is to read out the address for the locomotive through the Central Station. The button starts the readout procedure, which lasts a few seconds. Also, the locomotive must be standing on the programming track.

The button is used to read out and change the CVs in the decoder on locomotives with programmable decoders.

The button can be used to assign a locomotive to a shuttle train route. When a locomotive is assigned to a shuttle train route, the button changes to

The settings for acceleration delay, braking delay, minimum delay, maximum delay, speedometer, and volume are available only in conjunction with programmable decoders. With the exception of the setting for the speedometer, all of the other settings program the decoder in the locomotive. Here too, the locomotive must be standing on the programming track.
The setting "Speedometer" changes the display for the speedometer on the locomotive controller in the Central Station.

The functions F0 through F15 can be positioned in the right vertical field. In the process a function symbol is assigned to each function. The assignment of functions to function buttons cannot however be changed.
