DataBUS is called the connection between the amplifier and the Lokmaus 2
generation of the Lokmaus
the 'master' connector of the amplifier. This Lokmaus 2
unit of the complete system. It coordinates all devices and generates the track signal. If there is no
Lokmaus 2 connected to the 'master' connector the system doesn't run at all because the track signal
®
is missing. The keyboard cannot be connected to this plug, because it can't be master. There must be
no further mouse connected to the 'master'. All further Lokmaus 2
connector.
The Lokmaus 2 system can handle up to 31 devices. But the maximum number of devices that work
®
together depends on the power consumption of these devices. Therefor you can connect 10 Lokmaus
2 to the amplifier 10761. Every device connected to the RocoNet must have a unique address to be
®
addressed personally by the 'master'-Lokmaus 2
between the master and the slaves. But you don't have to care about this because the Lokmaus 2
an autoconfiguration facility. If you use a Lokmaus 2
address of this Lokmaus 2
automatically to the next unused address. If you got several new device we recommend that you don't
plug them all at once, better is to connect them one after the other. It makes the autoconfiguration
work faster.
The number of the devices connected to the amplifier must not be greater than the number
indicated in the menu C8. The default setting is 5 devices. You can raise the number up to 28
devices (see page 31).
Two addresses are reserved for special devices. The address 29 is reserved for the translation-modul
10759 (to connect the old Lokmaus
LI100. Those two addresses are always used independently from the settings of C8.
We recommend to add new components one by one to the system if they are used the first time. So
it is easier for the autoconfiguration of the system to find a free DataBUS addresses for each device.
Remember that only the Lokmaus 2
may not have an autoconfiguration of the DataBUS address. So you have to set the address by a setup
procedure. How this is done please read the instruction of those devices or contact the manufacturer.
If it is necessary to have an adaptor-plug please take a look at 'www.roco.cc/digital' if there is a plug
offered by ROCO.
If you make your own adaptor-plug you must strictly avoid short circuits! Pay attention to the
correct wiring! Otherwise you can damage the devices. In case of any doubt, please contact our
service-department ('hotline@roco-online.de'). They will help you.
