Primary CVs
CV 24
Consist Deceleration Rate
Description
CV 24 contains a value from -127 to +127, which corresponds to the
decoder’s consist deceleration offset.
D0-D6: Consist Deceleration Value
SIGN: Sign
0 = Positive value
1 = Negative value
Additional Information
When the consist address is active, the consist deceleration rate is added to
or subtracted from the decoder’s baseline deceleration rate (CV 4) depending
on the Sign bit (bit 7). The deceleration rate is then calculated as:
Seconds/Speed Step = (CV 4 + CV 24) x 0.896 ÷ Number of Speed Steps
If the sum of CVs 4 and 24 is negative, then the deceleration rate is set to 0
(i.e., braking is instant). If the sum of CVs 4 and 24 exceeds 255, then the
deceleration rate is set to the maximum value of 255.
CV 24 has no effect when the consist address (CV 19) is set to 0.
To summarize, a CV 24 value from 0 to 127 will increase the decoder’s
baseline deceleration rate. Conversely, values from 129 to 255 will decrease
the decoder’s baseline deceleration rate. A value of 128 is equivalent to a
setting of 0 and will have no effect.
Note: When operating Intelligent Consisting, it is best to leave this value at
0 unless all of the locomotives pulling the cars are set up using advanced
consisting.
Default Value: 0
