CV 19
Consist Address
Description
Contains address and direction data for consist operation:
Bit 0-6:
A0-A6, Consist Address Value
Bit 7:
CDIR, Consist Direction
0 = Normal Direction
1 = Reverse Direction
The CDIR bit defines orientation of the locomotive within a consist and
specifies whether the direction bit in a speed/direction data packet should be
inverted.
Bits A0-A6 assigns the consist address from 0 to 127. If A0-A6 = 00, consist
commands are ignored. Otherwise, if the decoder receives a valid command
packet whose address matches the consist address, the packet will be
processed as any other packet with the following exceptions:
Long Form CV Access instructions will be ignored.
The direction bit in a speed/direction or advanced operation packet is
inverted if CDIR = 1.
Only the auxiliary functions enabled in CV 21 and CV 22 are allowed to
change.
When the consist address is active, speed/direction and advanced operations
packets sent to the decoder’s primary address (or extended address, if
enabled) will be ignored. All other instruction packets sent to the decoder’s
primary (or extended) address, including CV access and function control, will
continue to be processed as normal.
In summary, setting CV 19 to 0 or 128 disables consist addressing. Setting
CV to a value between 1 and 127 enables consist addresses 1 to 127
with the locomotive oriented facing forward in the consist. Setting CV to a
value between 129 and 255 enables consist addresses 1 to 127 with the
locomotive oriented facing backwards in the consist.
