MARCoWaiting time to the next Automatic StartWaiting time in Seconds after which a locomotive has left a detector track section, before anew locomotive can activate an automatic function (not in operating mode 3, two singledetectors).LNCV Description Value18 Time to the next automatic start in seconds (not with operating mode 3, twosingle detectors).0-255Startup TimeThe MARCo-Receivers attempt, at start-up, to register their temporarily saved administeredlocomotive addresses with the center. If many MARCo-Receivers are installed it can lead todata loss if they all want to register at the same time.In order to control these train registrations in a regular way the MARCo-Receiver has a startuptime in LNCV 19. This determines the time after power on that the MARCo-Receiver waits,before it attempts to register the administered locomotive address.LNCV Description Value19 Startup time in 0.5s steps (maximum 127.5s) 0-255It makes sense therefore to increment the startup time from one MARCo-Receiver to the nextby a value of 1.74
8 Tips and Tricks8.1 Switching off and state savingMARCoIn the course of running the layout the MARCo-Receiver saves different state information suchas: Locomotive address, category, speed, occupancy etc. The MARCo-Receiver is factory setso that these states are retained if the layout power is OFF. When turning the power back ONsaved state information is restored. The layout can continue where it left off when it was turnoff. If the MARCO Receivers are connected to a LocoNet segment which is powered byLocoNet Power Injector (63100), this power injector must be switched on after the Intelliboxhas fully booted.After an erasing process, this function is deactivated. All LNCVs, except the address aredeleted during this procedure (LNCV 2 = 98). To activate state saving again LNCV 15 mustbe set to value 8.8.2 Commuter trains and multi-tractionAs described in chapter 7.5.5, the MARCo-Receiver uses the first recognized address to setthe internal occupied state (block option). Further vehicles, passing the detectors, don’t triggerthe ‘program’ again.Should a commuter train’s control cab car be fitted with a MARCO transmitter with the sameaddress as the locomotive, the train will stop correctly at a red signal irrespective of itstravelling direction. As soon as the address is recognized, an appropriate speed instruction issent regardless of whether the address was sent by the locomotive or by the control cab car.It is similar with multi-traction. The first vehicle identifies itself with its address. This does nothave to be the so-called guidance address of the multi-traction. The system recognizes thefact that it concerns multi-traction and sends the appropriate Instructions to all vehicles drivingin the traction.8.3 Command execution timeWhen processing individual groups of instructions of the switching operation, the currentinstruction must be completed before the next one can be implemented.The instruction for switching an individual solenoid takes approx. 0.5 seconds. If severalsolenoids are to be operated in a sequence, processing will take accordingly longer.In the group of the function instructions it is possible to time the functions, switching them onfor a certain time (chapter 7.3.4) and then automatically switching off again. Processing of thesequence can only continue after such an instruction has timed out.NOTE: Avoid long times and too many timed functions. Otherwise there is a possibility thatinstructions at the end of the command string are implemented too late.8.4 Extended stationsChapter 7.4.5 showed that with an entry manager, station block and exit managers it ispossible to automate simple stations. In the example in the aforementioned Chapter thestation block operates (track manager) e.g. as block busy response. As the MARCo-Receivercan automatically send an Occupied or Free message, every other function, and not only theblock, is suitable for station administration.The entry and exit supervised tracks do not necessarily have to be in the close range of thestation, but in principle can be distributed around the layout. Thereby varied operationalsequence can be arranged. This however requires a very good knowledge of the operation ofthe layout and Documentation of MARCo-Receiver programming. The possibility of"distributed stations" is therefore for advanced users.75
