Locomotive decoders of the series 30 plus English
KD: The differential component of the load control ensures that the
control is not converted too quickly. Is the set value to low then the
locomotive stutters. If the set value is too high, the locomotive rocks
while moving.
Velocity characteristic
The decoder can be adjusted to the driving characteristics of the motor
and the characteristic speed of the locomotive type, by setting the
starting, medium and maximum velocity. From these three settings the
decoder generates a (where required turned) linear velocity
characteristic.
When the speed level mode is set to 28 speed levels, it is possible to
assign any motor voltage to all of the 28 speed levels as an alternative
to the linear velocity characteristic. This allows the programming of a
velocity characteristic which adjusts the individual driving characteristics
of the motor. The set values are saved in the alternative velocity table.
Shunting gear
It is possible to switch into the shunting gear mode via a function key
(in state of delivery F3), when so programmed. In the shunting gear
mode, the velocity of all speed levels is reduced to approx. 50 %
compared to the set velocity.
Acceleration and brake delay
It is possible to program the acceleration and brake delay individually
via the central unit. When so programmed, it can be switched on and
off with a function key (in state of delivery F4).
