CV 24
CONSIST
BRAKING RATE
Description
Contains a value between -127 to +127 corresponding to the decoder’s consist braking offset:
bit 7 bit 0
sign D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
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 = ———————————
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 3 and CV 23 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 (0x7F) will increase the decoder’s base braking rate.
Values between 128 (0x80) and 255 (0xFF) will decrease the decoder’s base braking rate.
Default value: 0
