Function outputs in analog mode
It is possible to set the sound decoder
so that the function keys F0 - F12, as
assigned in the function mapping, can
also be switched on in analog opera-
tion. To do this, CVs 13 & 14 must be
programmed beforehand with a digital
central unit. The corresponding values
can be taken from the CV table of the
detailed operating instructions. Ex works
the light function F0, the engine noise
F1, the interior lighting F4 & F5, the
driver's cab lights F6 & F7 and the tail
lights (red) F9 are switched on.
Motorola ®
To be able to reach the functions F1 -
F16 when used with Motorola command
stations, the sound decoder has 4 Moto-
rola ® addresses. The three following
addresses for the functions F5 - F16 are
ascending to the decoder address and
can be activated in CV61 as required by
the values 1 (F5 - F8), 2 (F5 - F12), or 3
(F5 - F16).
Configuration -CVs
Besides the decoder address, the ope-
rating mode and configuration CVs
of a locomotive decoder are certainly
the most important CVs. For the PIKO
SmartDecoder XP Sound these are CVs
12 and 29. A configuration CV usually
contains various basic settings of a
decoder, such as direction reversal. Cal-
culation examples for this can be found
in the detailed operating instructions.
RailCom ® , RailCom Plus ®
In the sound decoder RailCom ® can be
switched on or off in CV29. If RailCom
Plus ® is switched on in CV28, the
sound decoder automatically logs on
to a RailCom Plus ® capable command
station with its locomotive symbol,
decoder name and its special function
symbols. This RailCom Plus ® technology
means that no locomotive data has to
be stored in the command station and
no locomotive addresses have to be pro-
grammed into the sound decoder.
mfx ®
The PIKO SmartDecoder XP Sound also
supports the mfx ® data format. If the
digital command station used is mfx ®
capable, the sound decoder automatical-
ly registers with its locomotive symbol,
decoder name and its special function
symbols. This mfx ® technology means
that no locomotive data has to be sto-
red in the control center and no locomo-
tive addresses have to be programmed
into the sound decoder.
Braking behavior
The sound decoder understands the fol-
lowing braking techniques:
• Märklin ® braking distance (braking
with analog DC voltage)
• DCC brake generator
• ABC braking
Furthermore, the sound decoder can
stop the vehicle precisely with an
adjustable braking distance. Detailed
information on the subject of „braking
behavior" can be found in the detailed
operating instructions. Function out-

Simple and extended function Map-
ping
In the simple function mapping (CVs 33
- 46) the assignments of the switching
tasks like lighting and special function
outputs can be freely assigned to the
function keys F0 to F12 of the digital
central unit. The switchable acceleration,
braking delay and the shunting gear can
be assigned to any function keys in CVs
156 and 157. More detailed information
can be found in the detailed operating
instructions.
Control of an electrical coupling
Electrical couplings often consist of
finest copper wire windings. These
usually react sensitively to continuous
current flow because they become rela-
tively hot as a result. With appropriate
settings, the sound decoder can ensure
that the function outputs A4 and A5
switch off automatically after an adjus-
table time, without having to switch off
the function key.
Shunting tango, automatic uncou-
pling travel
If the electric coupler is activated, a
shunting tango can be set up.
How a shunting tango works:
1. locomotive moves against the current
direction of travel at an adjustable
speed for an adjustable time (press-
on)
2. locomotive stops and switches the
direction of travel
3. uncoupling procedure, then the loco-
motive moves away from the uncou-
pled vehicle for an adjustable time
(disengaging)
4. locomotive stops, now the locomotive
has the original driving direction
again.
Extended Function Mapping
Due to the enormous complexity the
extended function mapping can not be
set sensibly by programming single CVs.
If you want to change the extended
function mapping, you need the test
and programming device PIKO Smart-
Programmer (#56415) and (optional) the
PIKO SmartTester (#56416). For more
information about the extended functi-
on mapping please refer to the detailed
operating instructions.
