Interface
Setup
Interface ID
If more than one command station is used, then the command station that is responsible for controlling the decoder is specified in this field. The "Interface identifier" field can remain empty if the object is connected to the first command station (first 'digint' in rocrail.ini) from the list of command stations.
Node ID
See: Addressing
UID-Name
Alternative to the Bus number supported by:
- BiDiB (String: Username)
- RocNet
Protocol
This is Decoder and Command System dependent.
Extended DCC
The Param ON/OFF are used for the aspect value.
Supported Command Stations:
- Z21

Address, Port and Gate
Addressing of accessories is described in the Practical Guide.
Single gate
To control just one color LED in a NeoPixel the gate selection, Single gate and Color option can be used.
The output type must be set to LED.
The settings for brightness, delay and flashing are applied to all LEDs, the brightness can be adjusted in the Color tab.
Supported decoders:
- WIO
Parameter
Some systems support an extra parameter for outputs:
- Dinamo (OM32 type, level=1…15)
- BiDiB with blink option activated (Type=Lights, range 1…9)
- BIDIB_PORT_TURN_ON
- BIDIB_PORT_DIMM_OFF
- BIDIB_PORT_DIMM_ON
- BIDIB_PORT_TURN_ON_NEON
- BIDIB_PORT_BLINK_A
- BIDIB_PORT_BLINK_B
- BIDIB_PORT_FLASH_A
- BIDIB_PORT_FLASH_B
- BIDIB_PORT_DOUBLE_FLASH
- BiDiB servo: param=straight, value=thrown position
- HUE hue value=0…65535
- DCC++ IFLAG
- WIO
The OFF parameter is used for:
- BiDiB lights. (For example 2: BIDIB_PORT_DIMM_OFF)
- WIO Servo and other targets.
The button opens the setting dialog for angle or PWM values for the "Servo" type. See also option Native
Value
Port value for the "on" command.
For digital outputs it should be set to 1.
Analog outputs are supported in:
- BiDiB
- SRCP
- HUE
- RocNetNode Pi03
- WIO
Setting the value (Brightness Level) to "0" means that the output will never turn on in SRCP. A value of 4095 is full brightness for 12 bit LED controllers.
Delay
The delayed off timer in seconds if set to greater then zero.
For Type Toggle switch only.
Options
Switch
Switch commands are sent instead of output commands when this option is set.
Invert
This option swap the on/off command.
Blink
Send a blink command at ON.
- Dinamo OM32
- BiDiB port type "Lights"
- HUE alert effect
Color
Color support.
- HUE
- DMX
- RocNetNode Pi03 Channel bundling
Panel Color
Changes the panel background color on the fly if this the color option is also set.
Note: It is recommended to use this option only for one single output in the plan to prevent unwanted effects.
Native
Use native values for type servo.
Default is 0…180°, with this option 500…2500 PWM width.
Supported controllers:
- WIOesp
Accessory
Some systems, like BiDiB, differentiate between accessory and other command types.
For most other systems this flag has no effect.
- Xpressnet: After 10ms the output will be automatically set to OFF.
- DCC++: A DCC Switch command is send instead of activating an output pin on the Arduino board.
Type
Port type selection.
Some decoders, like BiDiB-LightControl and RocNetNode, provide different port types on the same local address.
Function
A mobile decoder function. The port is the function number.
