Was ist Mehrzugsteuerung?

Beim herkömmlichen Analogbetrieb wird der Motor

direkt über die Gleise mit Gleisspannung versorgt.

Bei Betätigung des Fahrreglers wird die Gleisspannung

erhöht und die Lok fährt vorwärts und rückwärts.

Befinden sich nun zwei Züge bzw. Loks auf dem selben

Gleis, fahren diese gleichzeitig an und in die selbe

Richtung. Um im Analogbetrieb mehrere Loks auf

einer Anlage unabhängig voneinander fahren zu lassen,

müssen Sie die Anlage in getrennte Fahrstrombereiche

unterteilen. Beim Digitalbereich mit dem LGB-

Mehrzugsystem stellt sich die Situation völlig anders

dar. Am Gleis liegt immer die maximale Spannung an.

Dadurch werden alle Fahr- und Signalbefehle an die

Lok übertragen. Durch diese konstante Spannung

entstehen bei den Loks kleine Nebengeräusche bei

bestimmten Fahrverhalten. Diese Geräusche sind bei

analogen Loks im Mischbetrieb stärker als bei

digitalisierten Loks.

What is the Multi-Train System?

With conventional analog operation, the motor is

powered directly via the tracks. When you turn the

throttle knob, the track voltage increases and the loco

moves forward or backwards. If there are two locos

on the tracks, both start moving at the same time and

in the same direction.

To operate several locos at the same time on an analog

layout, the layout must be divided into separately

powered track blocks. With digital operation and the

LGB Multi-Train System, the situation is entirely

different. The tracks always carry the maximum

voltage. All commands to the loco are relayed via the

tracks. Because of this constant voltage, with some

locos you hear minor background noises during certain

operating conditions. These noises are louder with

analog locos during ”Analog Control” operation than

with digitalized locos. A decoder is installed in the

loco and controls the motor and other loco functions.

Le système multitrain. Pourquoi faire  ?

En fonctionnement analogique conventionnel, le

moteur est alimenté directement par la voie. Lorsque

vous actionnez la commande de vitesse, la tension

de la voie augmente et la locomotive se déplace vers

l’avant ou vers l’arrière. S’il y a deux locomotives sur

les voies, les deux démarrent en même temps et se

déplacent dans le même sens.  Pour utiliser

simultanément plusieurs locomotives sur un réseau

analogique, ce dernier doit être divisé en sections

alimentées indépendamment du point de vue

électrique. Le système multitrain de LGB fonctionne

numériquement, la situation est donc

fondamentalement différente. Les voies sont toujours

alimentées à la tension maximale et l’alimentation

électrique de la voie relaie toutes les commandes vers

la locomotive. Cette tension constante peut, dans

certaines conditions de fonctionnement, créer un léger

bruit de fond avec certaines locomotives.
