Output for buffer circuit
A special output is provided for the connection of a buffer circuit according to RCN-530 (e.g.
UPS-mini). Alternatively, it can be used to connect another consumer with a maximum current
of 100 mA.
By default, the output is switched on after a short waiting time after switching on the decoder
in order to load the buffer. The length of the waiting time varies randomly. This avoids that
several buffer circuits on the layout start the charging process at the same time immediately
after switching on and thus cause the collapse of the power supply.
With the function mapping, one or more functions can be assigned to this output, with which
the automatic charging of the buffer is activated and deactivated during operation. On
delivery, no function is assigned to the special function "UPS".
SUSI interface
The locomotive decoder LD-G-43 has a SUSI interface according to RailCommunity standard
RCN-600 in the version "classic SUSI", to which an external SUSI module (e.g. a sound
module) can be connected. The SUSI module is read out, programmed and controlled via the
decoder.
The locomotive decoder transmits the status of the functions and the speed level set at the
control unit to the SUSI module. This influences speed-dependent functions of the SUSI
module (e.g. the motor noise).
2.7. Triggering the actions
The switching on and off of the function outputs as well as the (de)activation of the special
functions is carried out
by the assigned function(s) and / or
automatically via the switching input. The switching input is triggered via external contacts,
e.g. via reed contacts or Hall sensors in combination with permanent magnets in the track.
Assignment of actions to functions (function mapping)
The assignment of the actions controlled by the decoder to the functions is freely selectable,
separately for forward and reverse motion.
