| NMRA DCC Controller for Model Railroad |
Function
Basic Configuration
This is basic function configuration.
Function and Consist Address
The user can select whether each function is controlled by primary address or consist address.
This feature allows the user that function is controlled by consist address but cab light in the middle of the
train is left off. If function which the user wants to left off is set to primary address, this function can not be
on when train is controlled by consist address.
How to Connect Function Number and Output
To decide which function output has to be on/off when some function number turns on/off is allowed the user. This future allows the user to change function number connected to function output without changing electrical wiring.
Function Output without Effect
This is function output operation without effect. When function is on, maximum voltage of function outputs is as same voltage as rail. If the device which is weak in noise is connected to function output, this mode has to be used, because this mode donft use PWM. Rail voltage is more than 12V, so there is highly possibility that it shorten the life of 12V lamp bulb.
Adjustment of Intensity of Light
Intensity of light of each function can be adjusted distinctly. Sometimes high voltage is provided decoder from rail in DCC. But this future can make the life of lamp bulb longer. And the user can enjoy atmosphere also according to adjusting the intensity of light.
Slow On/Off Mode Function
Each function can be set to slow on/off mode where intensity of light gradually increases or decreases. A speed of increasing or decreasing can be adjusted.
Decreasing Intensity of Light When the Vehicle Stops
Each function output can be set to the mode to decrease intensity of light when the vehicle stops. The user can set mode to whether automatic decreasing as the vehicle stops or manually decreasing by pushing the function button via out9.
Fluorescent Lamp Mode
This mode is for expressing fluorescent lamp is turned on. These on/off patterns can be set. Lamp is decreasing intensity can be adjusted for expressing a glow lamp. Fluorescent lamp on speed can be adjusted too.
Function Direction Control
FL(F) and FL(R) is only function to control head and teal lamps depending on direction in NMRA rules. But, it is difficult for the vehicle which has two cabs of both side to control head and teal lamps distinctly. Then, we decided to equip future that all function outputs can be set as output depending on direction.
Head lamps or tail lamps are automatically switched depending on direction from old days. It might be good way to drive easily. But real train sometimes goes back leaving the head light on. Then, we decided to equip future that head and teal lamps are able to be changed manually to enjoy it according to function button.
