MTS Onboard Decoder can be oper-
ated on digital systems without any
alterations.
In digital mode, the loco has a load
readjustment function, which means
that the motor speed is kept constant
(and under normal conditions the
loco speed), even when the load of
the loco changes, for example, in
curves or on grades.
Note:
This feature does not work at maxi-
mum load/speed, because in that
case there would be no voltage
reserve.

Data transmission (serial)
With older MTS components, com-
mands are transmitted as a sequence
of single commands (e.g. 3 = 1+1+1).
However, most MTS components
can be upgraded to parallel function
commands.
Exceptions:
- First generation 55000 MTS Central
Station and
- 55010 Train Mouse.
Note:
For more information, contact
your authorized retailer.
Data transmission (parallel)
When using MTS components
marked with a "P", the loco can
receive "parallel" function com-
mands, which eliminate the pause
that occurs when a "serial" command
is received.
Programming
Numerous functions of the onboard
decoders can be configured, e.g.
- acceleration
- braking response
- direction of travel
- and many more.4
The decoder can either be configured
using the 55045 MTS- PC Pro
-
gramming Module or the 55015 MTS
Universal Remote Control Unit.4
DCC interface
(Fig. 8)
Function:
- This enables the connection of
compatible digital decoders.
- We recommend to use MTS Loco
Decoder III (LGB 55027) whose plug
directly fits into the socket interface.
Note:
We recommend to have the decoder
mounted by the LGB factory service
station. For further information,
