C80prox Marklin Digital Control Program for PC's

C80prox – Marklin Digital Control Program for PC’s
Setting System Parameters
This option allows the user to view and/or change certain operational parameters.
Selection is made by clicking the appropriate line with the mouse or by entering the
highlighted character.
Fig 2. System Parameters
(I)ntercommand Pause:
This allows you to change the pause time between commands as they are sent to the
digital system computer interface. Most interfaces will work with this value set to 2.
This figure will need to be raised if commands set to the digital system interface are
lost due to design flaws in some earlier 6050 interfaces.
(N)umber of Solenoid Devices:
This figure tells how many solenoids are present on the layout. The maximum
solenoid address on the layout should be entered. When C80prox is exited, the
current status of the solenoids are saved to disk. When C80prox is re-entered, the
solenoids will be set to the previous condition. It is recommended that k83/84’s be
addressed in a contiguous range starting from address 0. There is a maximum of 64
k83/84’s units allowed on the Marklin digital system, giving a total of 256 bidirectional
or 512 single direction solenoid devices.
(C)lear Loop Counter (s88):
This parameter sets the number of times a s88 will be read and cleared if a contact is
still set. If after this number of reads, the contact is assumed to be still be engaged.
The digital interface should always clear the s88 using a value of 1, but if you
experience problems with a s88 unit, not engaged, but still reporting a contact set, a
higher figure may be necessary. A higher figure will slow the response to any s88
command.
