More detail (English) for route programming

  • I built a passing corner siding with a 24995 control track connected to a Marklin S88 device.


    Image of Layout


    On inputs of s 88 is 1-2 and 5-6 connected two turnout switch pairs.


    If I put two trains #72 and #78 on each siding I want to press GREEN button on input 1 or 5 to select which train runs.


    Both trains pass over common #18 control track.
    Two turnouts are Sw-1 and sw-2 for enter and exit of inside and outside sidings.


    Straight goes to outside siding.

    Code
    /----+--\
    |    G  G <-- press button to simulate
    #  in|  | out
    |    R  R
    \----+--/


    So when I press #1 GREEN and
    (+ in diagram) sw-1 and sw-2 switch to inside siding.
    Train #78 starts at half speed.
    Siding should turn YELLOW until train passes #18 sensor(# in diagram).
    When it passes over #18 it slows and light goes on.
    When I press #2 red it stops and turns off light.


    The next route will do same with outside #72 only if #78 is RED.


    I can't get the activate and sense in route editor to work.
    Also can't get START KEY and DESTINATION to do any input from diagram.


    I want to be at ROUTE MONITOR Fully Automatic and start with #1 GREEN.


    Any one help with English step by step from factory reset !

    Dear Cool Games,


    we are just working on the Reference Manual for the Commander. Once it is complete, we will translate it into English language. There will be explained everything what is important for route programming and the Commander's philosophie for automatic operation.


    The actual version you can download on the bottom of this page:


    http://www.viessmann-commander.de/Seiten/Anleitung.htm


    But it is still not complete and still only in German language.

    Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

  • I am stuck on Automatic routes.
    A simple s 88 input trigger and s 88 contact track is all I am asking.


    Start with DIAGRAM symbols needed.
    See layout photo at first message.


    Press GREEN button start train and set turnouts 1 & 2,
    passover CONTACT slows train ,
    RED button stops.


    Watch in ROUTE monitor.


    Needed in October before I can deliver customer layout.

  • More time and experimenting has gotten an ECoS working in Shuttle Mode.


    The ECoS can not (as far as I see) initiate the shuttle. I set speed then enable shuttle.


    The Commander looks to be able to start the shuttle and change route and speed on the way.


    Am I correct ?
    If I don't demonstrate the answer we will be returning the Commander (with regrets) and
    using less functional Marklin Central Station. :(

  • I have spent all weekend and still no success.
    I am starting to regret trying to ask for help doing routes if it has offended any one.
    :(
    I am stuck understanding what to do to automate the route.
    Any one able to help ???
    I watch the DVD over and over and seem to do the right thing but still no success !

  • Hello ,


    I'm Daniel and I live in France, I bought a central "Commander" and I have the following problem:
    Like Cool Games, the user manual in French does not do many things.
    Programming roads, decoders, etc. ...
    The German manual have 100 pages, there will be a complete version in French?


    Bests regards


    Daniel
