LocoNet Termination

This topic is not related to Bus Termination 
== LocoNet Termination ==
One device, usually a command station, functions as the master, providing LocoNet termination. The LocoNet is terminated when a current source is present on the LocoNet wires (3 & 4), enabling communication between devices. Without this current source communication would not be possible.
 There can only be one device providing termination on the LocoNet. 
Other devices which can function as a master include
# Digitrax:
## BDL16 and BDL162 series occupancy detectors
## PR3
## PM42
## UP5: Must be powered, and only the front jacks can be used. A link must be installed, as per the instructions.
Third Party Devices
# RR-Cirkits
## LocoBuffer
## LocoNet Terminator
## SSB Gateway
# MGP
## LocoNet Terminator
=== DIY LocoNet Termination ===
It is possible to build your own LocoNet Termination device. What is required is a 12VDC power supply and a 15mA current source. The 12V supply is connected to the Rail Sync pair (Positive connection) while the ground wires are connected to the negative terminal. For LocoNet termination, a 15mA pull up termination is required on lines 3 & 4. This is done with a simple current source circuit.
For more details, see the RR-Cirkits Notebook.
A search of the web will also reveal numerous solutions.

LocoNet Terminator

In LocoNet terminology, "termination" means current is supplied to the circuit to enable communications between LocoNet devices.
== Description ==
If LocoNet is used without a command station, it requires current supplied from somewhere else. This card , a so called LocoNet termination, is used for this.
* Can add 12 volt power to the LocoNet RailSync, if required.
* Needs a power supply of 12-15 volts which is not included.
Locomotive

Locomotive is a generic term for the vehicle, or vehicles, providing the motive power to a train. In Digital Command Control, the locomotive can be a single unit, a group of units coupled together in an MU (multiple unit), or multiple units distributed in the train, but responding to a single command set as an MU. 
They can be powered by electricity from a third rail or overhead wires, a diesel or gasoline engine, diesel-electric, or steam. Some steam locomotives are fireless, where their pressure vessel (boiler) is filled with steam under pressure and refilled as needed.

Locomotive Interface/E24

This is new interface from ESU. Not much detail is known about it at this time. It uses a J3200 connector that was used on the iPhone 6's camera. This is not a proprietary connector, it just hasn't been through the standardization process yet.
It is mainly used in their multifunction decoders designed for N Scale applications. It allows a lower profile and more connections than the Next18 interface. The ESU 53900 decoder tester includes this interface.
It is found on the LokSound 5 Nano, and the forthcoming LokPilot Nano. Digitrax has announced their  SDXN1137E24 Series 7 DCC Sound Decoder with an E24 interface.

==== ZIMO ====
From their newsletter: 
:This 28–pin interface is based on a proposed standard from ESU. However, this has NOT yet achieved the necessary majority in the RailCommunity vote to be recognised as a standard (like PluX, MTC, Next, ...) – some manufacturers considered the development effort for the new circuit board to be too great. Nevertheless, there is RailCommunity documentation, designed like a standard, but with an unusual note in the header:
:;The connector system is labelled as 24-pin by suppliers such as MOLEX, hence "E24". However, a "trick" - the inclusion of the 4 guide pins - makes 28 pins usable. (RCD-124)
From ZIMO's point of view, E24 is a very useful addition to the range of interfaces and perhaps the successor to "Next18", where there are fewer pins and certain mechanical problems.

LokSound/LokSound Select

The LokSound Select is a full featured V4.0 multifunction decoder, for the North American and Australian market. It lacks features found on the EU versions, with some sound editing capabilities locked out by the LokProgrammer software.
These decoders have been discontinued.
== Full Throttle Mode ==
This series of new features includes Drive Hold, Run 8, Coast, improved Dynamic Brakes and a new Independent Brake feature. Sound Projects with this feature have an FT suffix.
# Drive Hold: This feature simulates a loaded or empty train by adding a single “Drive Hold” function button. When the button is pressed, the motor will remain at a constant speed, while the sound can be controlled independently from the motion with the throttle knob! 
# Run 8: Press the button and the prime mover will increase RPMs all the way up to Notch 8 and hold. Once the function button is pressed, the sound is disengaged from the speed. Using the throttle, speed up or slow down with the sound remaining constant, at full throttle.
# Coast: Opposite of “Run 8”. By pressing the coast function button, the sound drops to idle and remains there. Once this function button is pressed, the sound is disengaged from the speed. Using the throttle knob, speed up or slow down with the sound remaining constant, at idle.
# Brake: This one is pretty self-explanatory – press the brake and come to a stop! By applying the brake, the loco will stop in a much shorter distance. As a note, one can do standing brake tests by keeping the brake on and advancing the throttle knob so the sound of Notch 4 can be heard. In this is the point at which the Shaft-Driven compressor reaches its second stage, and pumps air faster through the train line.
# Dynamic Brake: The ESU Dynamic Brake works like the prototype: Once applied, the sound drops to idle. Then (once the electricity dissipates from the traction motors) the prime mover RPMs will rise depending on the prototype. Most EMDs rise to about notch 4, other manufacturer's models will vary. Once the prime mover comes up, the dynamic brake fans will be heard. Releasing the button, the fan shut offs as the prime mover drops back to idle. After a short delay the prime mover will increase again to match the speed of the throttle. The ESU Dynamic Brake has not really changed much with the new added features. The new files will work better when consisted together and using the Dynamic Brake.

LokSound 5 DCC

==Description==
The LokSound 5 is the most important member of the LokSound family. Due to the combination of the digital decoder and the sound module on one circuit board we achieved the smallest possible dimensions of 30 x 15.5 mm. Therefore, it fits into almost any H0 or O-gauge locomotive.
A LokSound 5 DCC Micro decoder is expected in 2022, with a form factor suited to various N Scale locomotives. 
These decoders are supplied blank to the dealer, who will install the sound file of your choice.
=== LokSound 5 ===
All LokSound 5 Decoders are designed around a powerful 32 Bit processor and are improved in many aspects: 
* LokSound 5 Decoders reproduce 10 sound channels simultaneously. 
** Each sound channel features 16 Bit resolution with the 31250 Hz sampling frequency achieving HiFi quality. 
** Authentic reproduction of the prototype sounds. 
** LokSound 5 Decoders achieve a discernibly better sound experience. 
* Improved load control with up to 50 kHz PWM frequency and noise optimized motor control assure that, in future, coreless motors accelerate with excellent low speed characteristics.
* For the purpose of controlling lighting and other functions LokSound 5 Decoders have numerous outputs. Can control RC servos / SUSI modules, if required.
True multi-protocol Decoder supporting all four popular data formats: 
* DCC with RailComPlus 
* M4 format 
** Automatic registration with modern Märklin® central units. 
* Motorola® and Selectrix® facilitate the operation with older central units as well. 
*All LokSound 5 Decoders (even N scale) support analog operation. 
* North American and Australian customers, the LokSound 5 DCC family features DCC with RailComPlus only. 
* Up to 32 functions, which can be assign any type of function and function button. 
* Three new adjustable brake controllers
* Two-step heavy load simulation 
* Random functions that allow control of special lighting effects randomly.
* Firmware of LokSound 5 Decoders can be updated to a newer version.''
LokSound 5 DCC follows NMRA DCC Standards and only supports DCC modes. The Loksound 5 follows European conventions and supports additional protocols.

Loksound V4

The LokSound V4.0 M4 is the world´s first Quad-protocol decoder! Aside from DCC, Motorola® and Selectrix®, all incorporated into the LokSound V4.0, the LokSound V4.0 M4 also speaks the M4 protocol! Thus the decoder is a 100% compatible to all mfx®-capable command stations on the market. It will be automatically recognised and can be fully programmed.. That´s why the decoder is “first choice” for all Märklin fans who do not want to miss out on mfx®.
To ensure that almost all locomotives can be retrofit with this multi-talented decoder, we offer the LokSound V4.0 M4 with many different interfaces such as 8-pin, 6-pin or PluX12 plug as well as wireless 21MTC or with a PluX16 interface as well as versions with PluX22 Interface for the latest Fleischmann® or ROCO® vehicles.
