<p><strong>Motor</strong> control is divided into three separate panes. The <strong>Motor
|
|
Control pane</strong> deals with CV's for simulating locomotive weight or inertia. The
|
|
<a href="Comp_Speed.shtml" target="_parent"><strong>Basic Speed Control
|
|
pane</strong></a><a href="Comp_Basic.shtml" target="_parent"></a> deals with basic motor
|
|
control CV's and the third <a href="Comp_Speed_Talble.shtml" target="_parent"><strong>Speed
|
|
Table pane</strong></a> covers those dealing with the <strong>Speed Table</strong> method of
|
|
controlling the motor. These last two methods of motor control are mutually exclusive. The
|
|
selection is made with a radio button at the top of each of those two panes. The default
|
|
selection is <strong>Basic Speed Control.</strong></p>

|
<p>The contents of the Motor pane will vary significantly between different brands and models
|
|
of decoders. In the case of the decoder shown in the illustration:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Acceleration Rate</strong> and <strong>Deceleration Rate</strong> help simulate a
|
|
locomotive under load - but don't use them unless you have very clean track, because an
|
|
interruption of power can make a locomotive stop and cycle through the acceleration curve
|
|
again! On the latest Tsunami Diesel sound decoders the firmware has been changed. The decoder
|
|
now returns to the last speed setting before the power interruption but it has no knowledge
|
|
of where it was in the acceleration curve. So if you have been in the habit of using lots of
|
|
momentum and setting speed to maximum to get the sound of a notch 8 motor, be aware that if
|
|
the loco loses power for just an instant from a dirt spot on the rails, it will resume at the
|
|
top speed step and appear to be running away.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>High deceleration rates can make station stops and switching realistic, but very
|
|
challenging!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Back EMF</strong> or <strong>Speed stabilization</strong> is implemented
|
|
differently by each manufacturer.. See your decoder documentation for the best ways to
|
|
implement these variables, and be prepared to do a lot of experimenting! However they do it
|
|
and whatever they call it, you should find it in this pane.</p>
