DECODER FOR A MODEL TRAIN AND METHOD OF OPERATING A DECODER FOR A MODEL TRAIN

摘要

A decoder for model train locomotives or rolling stock including: a data input; a sensor, separate from the data input and arranged to receive a first energy signal and transmit a first trigger signal; a memory element configured to store a first address identifying the decoder; and a processor configured to receive first data including a group identity address, receive the first trigger signal; and store the group identity address in the memory element. The sensor is arranged to: receive a second energy signal; and transmit, in response to receiving the second energy signal, a second trigger signal. The processor is configured to: receive the second trigger signal; receive second data including the first address and first operating instructions, associated with the first address, for a device for a model train locomotive or rolling stock; and transmit the first operating instructions. The group identity address identifies a group of decoders.
