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.
Rocking for signals and barriers.
The mode is activated with CV115 = 2. About CV113 is the speed for the teetering set.
About CV114 is the way (in degree) for the seesaw iss et.
Connectors switch engine
Connect the cable to the track or EPL® switch table. Intern is the function output between A1 and +24V.
Optionally, you can plug the SWD PLUG into the LGB® EPL® engine. 
When using the the heart piece polarization is the flashing function of the output A1 automatically deavtivated. This works then only for heart polarization. You usually need this. A simple 24V relay with changeover contacts (these relays have a total of 5 connection pins). Think absolutely to a diode! A normal 1N4001 is sufficient for this.
The side with the line on the diode must be to +24V. The other side to A1. The relay comes between +24V and A1.
Use our Relais (Art. No. 0016)
Normal switch
Switch with connected heart
Connectors signal engine
There is a modified version for wing signals of the SWD. This allows for a simple exchange of the EPL components. The electronics and connections are equal to those of the SWD. This version (SWD-PLUG) is also compatible with the LGB® turnout drives. An LGB® switch or signal drive. The lid of the LGB® drive must be (4 screws) unscrewed and onto the SWD-PLUG can be screwed on. Now the LGB® drive against the SWD exchanged and fully functional!
Delivery color: BLACK! 
Please note when using the SWD-PLUG for EPL® switches as well as for signals, that there are 3 different types of the
LGB® EPL® drive. When using the SWD-PLUG as a replacement for an EPL® turnout drive must have the 3 walls of the cover in the area of the holes are cut off.
The latest version is extremely thin gear. The control rod has a wall directly in the field of gearing. The wand must completely cut off to the control rod benefits.
The second variant (usually with “NO 1201” inscription) a wide gear wheel and can also be directly install the intermediate gear of the EPL® drive and the supporting wall is still space.
The 3rd and oldest variants are a very long one gear which goes up to support wall.
It’s rough toothed the control rod hat here usually 2 tabs at the ends. Here the enclosed gear wheel against the pre-assembled gearwheel of the SWD-PLUG to be exchanged, leverage it carefully front the servo from the anchorage. Solve this already mounted gear with some power through lightly move (DO NOT TURN!). Glue the enclosed gearwheel with something second glue (CAUTION! Wave of servos!).
Optional: Please specify. Then the right toothed wheel is mounted directly supplied.
Connectors track break signals
The track break signal is also based on the SWD electronics and the switchboard. However, it is a separate device. The track break head is optionally with DB or DR(G) latern head. It is true to the original turn around and LED is switchable. LED color can be cold or warm white.
Delivery color: STEEL SILVER! 
Product description
The mXion SWD is a very small servo drive of really smaller size of the LGB® EPL drive. At the same time is a fully functional servo decoder and one servo and the positioning mechanism. The servo encoder must only be connected to the digital track. From then on switches should be switched slowly.
In addition, various settings be made.
The switch is working also analog with for example the well-known LGB® EPL® control panel.
In addition, it is possible to switch the gate inverted too or a starting position (invertable) to activate. This switches the switch off the start to the specified position.
This is also adjustable.
Of course, the positioning speed and it can be specified, whether the switch is holding the position or not.
The SWD also has an external one switching output, which is dimmable. At this output which can be selected by loco and accesoir adress can be switched for example laterns or other loads up to 100 mA.
Also a resistor is included to connect LEDs directly.
Optionally for LGB® signals available.
In this case you need special case.
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 = 225
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 (e.g. Massoth® control panels)
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 29 2 + 32 = 34 programmed.
Programming switch adress
Switch addresses consist of 2 values.
For addresses < 256 the value can be directly in address low. The high address is 0. If the address is > 255 this is as follows (for example address 2000):
2000 / 256 = 7,81, address high is 7
2000 – (7 x 256) = 208, address low is then 208.
Programm these values into the SW1 CVs CV120/121 and A2 (CV127/128).
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) 33 (function and switch outputs)
