Once a “locomotive” (electric circuit) has been selected on a throttle,
the speed and direction control functions of the throttle can be used the
same way they are used in case of a digital layout – please refer to the
throttle manual. Function keys, however, do have a different meaning:
please refer to section 3.8 (“Functions in analog mode ”).
4.3 ‘Locomotive’ (electric circuit) selection
Each LocoNet throttle typically has its own method (user interface) for
selecting a locomotive. This section describes the specifics of operating
some common LocoNet throttles on an analog layout being controlled
through one or more Power2’s. Please refer to the manuals of each
throttle type for additional information.
Locomotive selection with a DAISY throttle
A DAISY throttle connected to the “LocoNet” connector of a Power2
operating in analog mode automatically recognizes this peculiar case
and shows an “A” as locomotive type. Locomotive selection is initiated
by pressing the Locomotive key – as described in the DAISY manual.
Locomotive selection with a FRED
In order to be used with a Power2 in analog mode, a FRED has to be
configured for “Twin-Center” mode first (please refer to the FRED
manual). While configuring it this way, it is possible to select the FRED
“number” by using the [f1] through [f4] keys. This number will determine
which group of 4 Power2’s that FRED will be able to select:
FRED ID 1: electric circuits (Power2’s) 1 through 4
FRED ID 2: electric circuits (Power2’s) 5 through 8
etc.
Alternatively, a FRED may be configured for “dispatch” mode and used
along with a LocoNet throttle with dispatching capability.
Locomotive selection with an IB-Control
There is no need to configure the IB-Control. Electric circuits (Power2’s)
can be taken control of through an IB-Control simply by selecting them
as if they were locomotive addresses. Please refer to the IB-Control
manual for additional information.
Locomotive selection with a Profi-Control
Each Profi-Control can be used to control up to 8 electric circuits
(Power2’s). Which group of 8 electric circuits is controlled is dictated by
the LocoNet ID of each Profi-Control:
ID 1: electric circuits (Power2’s) 1 through 8
ID 2: electric circuits (Power2’s) 9 through 16
etc.
Please refer to the Profi-Control manual to assign a specific LocoNet ID
to a Profi-Control.
Once a LocoNet ID has been assigned, one can use the standard Profi-
Control procedure for locomotive selection in order to select among the
8 controllable electric circuits.
Alternatively, a Profi-Control may be configured for “dispatch” mode
and used with a LocoNet throttle with dispatching capability.
