MARCoMethod:Call up the LocoNet Programming Menu in your Intellibox as described in Chapter 4.5 andexecute the following sequence:Step 1: Call up MARCo-Receiver, as in described Chap. 4.5.Step 2: LNCV 2 Value 98 program Flush MARCo-ReceiverStep 3: LNCV 50 Value program Set “All locomotive”20000Step 4: LNCV 92 Value program Value feedback address 100 “occupied”1003Step 5: LNCV 102 Value 3 program Travel direction from track 1 to track 2Repeat steps 3-5 for LNCV groups 80, 90, 100 – 81, 91, 101 etc.Step 7: End programming7.4 Automatic SystemThe previous section (8.3 Switching operation) showed how to change the speed, specialfunctions (light, horn etc..), for each individually recognized vehicle i.e. switch individualturnout, track routes or send feedbacks.There are also events on your layout which must be reacted to immediately, independently ofthe vehicle address. e.g. in a sectioned system, every locomotive, irrespective of the address,must stop at a red signal and can proceed with a green signal. It therefore makes no sense forevery vehicle to have its own set of instructions programmed.We refer to sequences, which are executed for all vehicles, as automated systems. Thevarious possibilities, which the MARCo-Receiver offers in an automated layout, are describedin the following sections.7.4.1 Basic Function Time controlled Shuttle trafficTo operate shuttle traffic as shown in the following diagram.The following sequence is made available by this automatic mode:• A locomotive passes signal S1 in the reverse direction.• The locomotive over-drives the double detector of the MARCo receiver.• The signal S1 is switched to red.• The locomotive brakes with its inertia and stops.• An adjustable waiting period, (same for all vehicles).• During the wait the driving direction is changed (light changes).• Signal S1 is set to green.• The locomotive accelerates back to its original speed.41
