Booster B-6 tams elektronik
5. Settings / Configuration
The Booster B-6 can be adapted to individual requirements:
 via BiDiB with PC software or
 via main track programming (POM) according to RailCommunity standard RCN-226 ("DCC
protocol | Special values for configuration"), which regulates, among other things, the
configuration of devices that do not have their own address and whose connection to a
programming track is not possible or reasonable. For further information, see
RailCommunity standard RCN-226 (at: www.railcommunity.org).
5.1. Programming via BiDiB
As soon as the Booster B-6 is connected to a BiDiB controlled and monitored layout, it is
automatically integrated into the PC layout control. By aid of the PC control software or ( if not
possible with this) special auxiliary programs (e.g. BiDiB-Monitor or BiDiB-Wizard) the booster-
specific configuration variables (CVs) and the BiDiB feature settings are programmed. A
software update of the Booster B-6 is also possible via BiDiB.
5.2. Main track programming (POM)
You can adapt the booster to individual requirements via main track programming (POM).
With control units that do not support this programming mode, the factory (default) settings
cannot be changed.
Switching to programming mode
To be able to program the B-6, it must be connected to a BiDiB connection or the DCC
booster connection of the digital control unit and the control unit must be set to "GO". To
start the programming mode of the B-6, enter the value "62" for CV 7 of any DCC vehicle
decoder address on your digital control unit.
Proceed as described in the instructions for your control unit. This entry has no effect on a
decoder with the address in question, as no entry is possible for CV 7 of vehicle decoders
(= version).
After you have started the programming mode (entered the value "62" for CV 7), the RGB
LEDs under the translucent housing cover flash. Depending on the operating state of the
booster ("stop" or "go"), the LEDs flash red or green. You can now change the settings of the
booster by selecting CV 7 again and entering a value from the table below for it.
If no value is entered for CV 7 within 30 seconds after starting the programming mode, the
programming of the booster is automatically aborted (the RGB LEDs stop flashing). After a
value has been entered, the programming mode is automatically terminated. If you want to
change further values, you must restart the programming mode by entering the value "62" for
CV 7.
