Speed Table

(only in 28 speed

steps mode)

0 ... 255

(-)

A speed table consisting of 28 values for forward

speeds forming a smooth power curve, whereas each

speed step is assigned a specific engine power value.

A value of "0" is defined as no power, a value of

"255" as maximum power.

10.3. m3

We have developped this protocol for our digital system EasyControl in order to drive mfx

vehicle decoders. It is possible to program vehicles with mfx decoders on a programming track

connected to the RedBox or the MasterControl. m3 does not allow to read feedback messages

sent via mfx.

10.4. s88

In PC controlled layouts remote indication via the s88 bus is very common. Many digital central

units have a (usually 6 pole) connection for a s88 cable. Remote indication via the s88 bus is

customary in a.c. as well as in d.c. layouts – independent of the digital format in use.

Most feedback modules allow to connect up to 16 inputs, whose state (open or connected to

earth) is reported to the receiver (interface or central unit). Several feedback modules can be

connected in series, the maximum number depends on the receiver (e.g. 52 with MasterControl

or RedBox).

s88-N

The standard s88-N regulates the assignment of commercial Ethernet patch-cables for use in

s88 feedback systems. Unlike the 6-conductor connecting cables frequently used in the past, the

patch-cables used in computer networks are screened against outside electric signals. Thus

using patch-cables reduces the liability to interference considerably, even with long lines. All

modules corresponding to this standard are compatible to each other.
