method and schaltungsanordnung to identify a locomotive in a model railroad system.

摘要

The invention relates to the remote reading of the information which is stored in a specific locomotive on a specific section of track within a model railway installation. For this purpose, a binary coding memory containing binary information, in particular identification codes for every locomotive, is provided within a switching logic which is installed in every locomotive. This coding memory is interrogated when power is supplied, preferably when the locomotive is activated, and the corresponding information generates a pulse string which is supplied to the motor. The current flowing in the motor is measured and decoded, whereby the code obtained represents the stored information, which can also be displayed. IMAGE
