Lenz BM1

[Gearóid]

Hi Folks,

have learned a lot from the forums, however this is my first post to any of the forums. I am currently testing ABC with a Lenz BM1. I have a Jinty fitted with a ZIMO MX648 decoder, CV 27 with bit 0 set to 1 and it works fine, slows down and stops and I can reverse it away. However, my 071 fitted with the Loksound 4.0 and again CV 27 bit 0 set to 1 works fine, slows down and stops but, for some reason the 071 wont reverse when I try to get it to reverse. If I reset CV27 to 24, default setting, reverse mode is re-activated. Your help would be appreciated.

 

thanks

I don't have your decoder but I have a Lenz Digital Plus Silver 21+ in an 071 (I think). CV 27 is not even mentioned in my manual but most ABC control is controlled by CV51. Does changing CV 51 Bit3 (2) have any effect in resolving it?

Thanks DC, but CV51 on the Loksound 4.0 is for Brake mode

[DiveController]

CV 51 is for braking configuration. Bit 3 controls deactivation of ABC direction dependence. It may be that the default setting for CV51-3 is active on your Zimo but inactive on the Loksound. One will reverse away, the other not.

I have to confess to being a little confused with this thread. I don't have any answer to the problem, but, according to my documentation for the Loksound V4.0, CV27 is for Brake Mode, and CV51, along with 52 to 56, is for Load Control.

Folks,

I think DV is correct I have just checked the Loksound 4.0 pdf Instruction manual Murphy Models «Class 071 / 111 and Cvs 51 -56 are to do with load control. 27 is indeed Brake Mode. I did try what you suggested DC but to no avail. For that reason I looked up the PDF on the web. Thanks anyway.

A tad off topic but would anyone have the manufacturers number for a Gaugemaster chip?

If you're talking about the manufacturers ID then it's 36 if I recall.....
