CV56 controls the dynamic compensation or how much the decoder consid-
ers the historical difference between the current speed and the target speed 
when determining the next speed command to send to the motor. This set-
ting is like a damper or shock absorber on the spring that helps to restore the 
spring to its new position. CV values can range from 000 to 255. Higher values 
cause more rapid adaptation to the target speed and lower values cause slower 
adaptation to the target speed. The factory default setting for CV56 is 048. It 
will have no effect on decoder operation until you program CV57 as described 
below. Excessively high CV values programmed to CV56 will tend to let the 
locomotive “hunt” around a new desired speed when a change of speed is com-
manded. We recommend that you use the lowest CV value in CV56 that gives 
the desired performance. 
CV57 controls the amount of back EMF (intensity) or speed loss as load is 
increased, by limiting the amount of change or compensation that the decoder 
is allowed to implement. CV57 controls the back EMF separately for regular 
addresses and advanced consist addresses.
