Some of this can be done with BEMF - when the loco “feels” a load, it will automatically rev up to work harder to pull this actual load. But this is often a flawed method in modeling. Today, model train car wheels are so free rolling the cars often do not simulate sufficient drag to replicate a typical prototype situation. Also, often we do not sufficiently weigh our cars to represent a scaled-down version of the prototype.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest problems with BEMF controlled load is in our modeling and operations we often “simulate” loads inside a closed car. The payload inside a prototype car can weigh as much as 100-tons more than the car itself. This is especially important at operating sessions. Empties in and Loads out or vice versa. There is no way for a decoder to know the proposed weight of the cars it is pulling. Our “car cards”, showing whether a car is loaded or empty, are seen only by the operator, not by our decoders!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo compensate for what the decoder cannot know, we have created Full Throttle decoder features! FT features include “Drive Hold”, “Run 8”, “Coast”, improved “Dynamic Brakes” and a new “Independent Brake” feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LokSound V5 decoder can reproduce up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel offers up to 16 Bit \/ 31250 kHz and for all practical purposes, one cannot detect any difference to the original. A dual class D audio power amplifier with 3W output power feeds the speakers with a permitted impedance of 4 – 32 Ohms. The huge 128 MBit sound memory assures sufficient storage capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume of all individual sound fragments may be adjusted separately. The outstandingly flexible sound engine without a rigid flow chart facilitates a prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail movements. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with maximum control of your vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubject to the type of interface, every LokSound V5 has at least 10 amplified outputs with multiple lighting functions available. The brightness of each output may be adjusted separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe LokSound V5 DCC decoder supplies up to 1.5A motor current and motor control has been improved. A variable PWM pulse frequency ranging from 10 kHz to 50 kHz results in silent operation, particularly for coreless motors making motor hum a thing of the past. Load control can now be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs and will manage even the most difficult motor control issues. The unique “Auto-Tune” function facilitates the automatic calibration of the decoder to perfectly match the motor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESU Loksound","offers":[{"title":"Blank - You have a Lokprogrammer to load the sound file","offer_id":51828021231902,"sku":"ESU58420","price":94.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"$1.99 Programming fee - add note with sound file to load","offer_id":51813780095262,"sku":"ESU58420SL","price":96.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/8069\/9166\/files\/rs_w_600_h_600__37127.1555259403.1280.1280.jpg?v=1777914792","url":"https:\/\/mountain-subdivision-hobbies-2.myshopify.com\/products\/esu-58420-loksound-5-dcc-8-pin-sound-decoder-nem652-nmra-8-pin","provider":"Mountain Subdivision Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
