Programming the CTC locomotive modules reduces the configuration effort to a few steps.
If you only want to drive manually and without load regulation, and also do not want to use either train protection or automation, there is nothing else you need to do. In our experience, the pure motor control of the CTC module is compatible with all common direct and alternating current motors. From the ancient 3-pole motor, the high-performance 5-pole drive, to current motors with a flywheel, everything has worked with the CTC module straight away.
The Calibration of the motor sensor is necessary for the following functionalities:
- Spot-on target braking before, for example, a red signal
- Load regulation, that is, the locomotive drives at the same speed uphill and downhill
The step Adjusting the engine allows optimizing the control parameters of the load regulation and target braking.
