Hook-Up
Install your device in compliance with the connecting diagrams in this manual. The device is protected against shorts and excessive loads. However, in case of a connection error e.g. a short this safety feature can’t work and the device will be destroyed subsequently.
Make sure that there is no short circuit caused by the mounting screws or metal.

NOTE: Please note the CV basic settings in the delivery state.

Connectors

Connection for Buffer
The voltage of the buffer must be 2 volts higher than on the track.

Product description

The mXion DRIVE-XS is a very strong 0.5 train decoder. he can be digital
and analog works and offers with its 3 output. Its perfectly fitting for scale Z to H0.

The standard scope of course includes a maneuvering as well as turn-off delay times. In analog mode, all outputs are full functionality also usable.

Ideally also as function decoder or for motor uses with additonal function outputs.

Speedsteps
The speed steps (speed increments between standstill and maximum speed) may be set to 14, 28 and 128. CV 29 Bit 1 must be set to 0 for 14 and to 1 for
28/128 speed steps. The difference between 28 and 128 are detected automatically.
LGB MTS I and II require 14 speed steps. The standard setting is 28/128 speed steps.

Speed curves
The speed characteristic of the locomotive is defined by the speed curve. You may choose between a linear speed curve or a freely programmable speed curve. The linear speed curve is defined by 3 CVs.

The standard speed curve is linear because it is easier to be set (CV 29). The start voltage (CV 2) defines the driving voltage of speed step 1. The smaller the the slower the locomotive starts driving. If the PI-Load control is „off“ and the locomotive does not move with speed step 1, the start voltage should be increased. The maximum speed
(CV 5) my be reduced by inserting smaller values. Decreasing CV 5 alters all speeds in a linear way. The mid-speed (CV 6) influences the linearity of the speed curve. In the case CV 6 is half of the value of CV 5 (max. seep), all speed steps are distributed equally.
In case CV 6 is smaller than half the value of CV 5, the lower speed steps will be stretched. The locomotive will drive slower at mid-speed; the slow speed range will be extended (ideal for shunting).
As an alternative you may program the speed curve individually in 28 steps
(CV 67 – 94). This speed curve is activated by CV 29 bit 4. In this case the CVs 2,5,6 are deactivated!

Programming lock

To prevent accidental programming to prevent CV 15/16 one programming lock. Only if CV 15 = CV 16 is a programming possible. Changing CV 16 changes automatically also CV 15.
With CV 7 = 16 can the programming lock reset.
STANDARD VALUE CV 15/16 = 205

Programming options
This decoder supports the following programming types: bitwise, POM and CV read & write and register-mode.
There will be no extra load for programming.
In POM (programming on maintrack) the programming lock is also supported. The decoder can also be on the main track programmed without the other decoder to be influenced. Thus, when programming the decoder can not be removed.

NOTE: To use POM without others decoder must affect your digital center POM to specific decoder adresses.

Programming binary values
Some CV’s (e.g. 29) consist of so-called binary values. The means that several settings in a value. Each function has a bit position and a value. For programming such a CV must have all the significances can be added. A disabled function has always the value 0.

EXAMPLE: You want 28 drive steps and long loco address. To do this, you must set the value in CV 292 + 32 = 34 programmed.

Acceleration and Deceleration
The acceleration and deceleration characteristic may be defined with CV 3 (acceleration) and CV 4 (deceleration).
The CV setting represents the time the decoder takes to reach a newly selected speed. The values in CV 3 and CV 4 are time units. One unit equals 0.5 seconds. To get your intended acceleration/deceleration time by 2 and programm this in CV 3 and CV 4.

Programming loco adress
Locomotives up to 127 are programmed directly to CV 1. For this, you need CV 29 Bit 5 „off“ (will set automaticly).
If larger addresses are used, CV 29 – Bit 5 must be „on“ (automaticly if change CV 17/18). The address is now in CV 17 and CV 18 stored. The address is then like follows (e.g. loco address 3000):
3000 / 256 = 11,72; CV 17 is 192 + 11 = 203. 3000 – (11 x 256) = 189; CV 18 is then 189.

Reset functions
The decoder can be reset via CV 7. Various areas can be used for this purpose.

Write with the following values:

• 11 (basic functions)
• 16 (programming lock CV 15/16)
• 22 (light functions CV 50 – CV 59)
• 33 (function outputs 1-2)
• 44 (engine control)
• 66 (drive courve CV 67 – CV 94)
