CV 24
Consist Braking Rate
Description
Contains a value between -127 to +127 corresponding to the decoder’s
consist braking offset:
Bits 0-6:
D0-D6, Consist Braking value
Bit 7:
Sign
0 = positive value
1 = negative value
When the consist address is active, the consist braking rate is added to or
subtracted from the decoder’s baseline braking rate depending on the sign
bit. The braking rate is then computed as:
seconds/speed step = (CV 4 + CV 24) x 0.896÷Number of speed steps
If the sum of CV 4 and CV 24 is negative, then the braking rate is set to 0
(i.e., braking is instant.) If the sum of CV 4 and CV 24 exceeds 255, then the
braking rate is set to the maximum value of 255.
This CV has no effect when the consist address is set to 0.
In summary, a CV value between 0 and 127 will increase the decoder’s base
braking rate. Values between 128 and 255 will decrease the decoder’s base
braking rate.
Default value:
0
