Decoder-connection board MXTAPS / V
MXTAPS and MXTAPV are the "old" test and connection boards (from the "MX time"),
see next chapter for the more modern (functionally similar) MSTAPK and MSTAPV.
ZIMO decoder-test-and-connection boards are best used with
MXULFA
, as well as ZIMO command sta-
tions (especially
MX10)
, but also with older ZIMO digital command stations and devices of other manufac-
turers.
The basic features of these PCBs are the following:
- Plugs for all interfaces used in ZIMO decoders, i.e. PluX12, -16, -22, Next-18, 21MTC, NEM651,
NEM652 (all standardized by VHDM or NMRA), as well as interfaces for large-scale decoders MX696,
MX697, MX699 (proprietary of ZIMO).
Two versions -
MXTAPS
only for small scales,
MXTAPV
with all interfaces (including large-scale)
- Connection to
MXULFA
, ZIMO central command station or other digital command stations via double
clamp “SCHIENE” and, if necessary (if available on counter device) via SUSI cable.
- To test the decoders, the following is provided: DC motor, speaker (1 Watt), various LEDs for function
outputs and fan outputs (large-scale decoders), servo connections (large-scale decoders), plugs for
various ZIMO decoder types and wires to external consumers.
Connections between the MXTAPV and the MXULF: a 2-pole cable to connect the “Schiene”-plug (track;
connectors are supplied with the device) and a 4-pole SUSI cable (supplies; SUSIKAB).
The
MXTAPS
(or
MXTAPV
) is connected to the output “Schiene” of the
MXULF
via the double clamp
“SCHIENE”, and to a track output of a ZIMO central command station or another digital command station.
No additional supply is necessary.
If needed, the SUSI plugs from
MXULF
and
MXTAP
are connected: via “SUSI”, sound loading is essen-
tially faster than via “tracks”. For decoders with the interfaces “PluX”, “MTC”, “Next” as well as large-scale
decoders, SUSI is automatically available at the “SUSI” interface of the
MXTAP
and can easily be trans-
ferred to the
MXULF
.
Simultaneous sound loading
of more than one MX645P22 via “SUSI”: each
decoder has to be connected to an individual decoder-test-and-connection
board MXTAP. Several
connection boards
can be connected
in parallel
.
NOTE:
The supply via
SUSI cable is sufficient for
SUSI sound loading!
DO NOT connect "rail" at
the same time!
NOTE:
With the MXTAPS or MXTAPV, also decoders of other manufacturers can be used. To update soft-
ware or sound, naturally, a suitable programming device of the corresponding manufacturer has to be used.
When testing, ZIMO and other products can be mixed on both sides. SUSI sound load is only possible with
ZIMO decoders.
ATTENTION:
only ONE connection can be used. Therefore, you can NOT connect more than one de-
coder to the number of interfaces of the
MXTAPS
or
MXTAPV
.
MX644
can
NOT
be loaded simultaneously!
