Hi Steffen,

I don't know exactly how Rocrail controls the OM32 when you use it in this way. Actually you should have a "toggle" function for one output. This should be possible, since the standard Faller turnouts can be controlled by Rocrail via the OM32 as well.
Have you tried to get an answer from the Rocrail community?

Kind regards,
Leon

Hallo Leon,

leider ist doch noch nicht alles perfect in Rocrail.
Wenn ich den Ausgang als Schalter auf Blinken einstelle, dann
sendet RR an die OM32 anscheinend ein "falsches" Kommando.
Die Om32 schaltet nämlich den Ausgang nicht tatsächlich ab, sondern ändert meines Erachtens nur den letzten Zustand.
Die bedeutet, dass ein blinkendes Blaulicht nicht immer ausgeschaltet wird, sondern es kann vorkommen, dass das Blaulicht bei der Stellung off dauerhaft leuchtet.

Hi Steffen,

ich kann dir nicht weiter helfen weil das Dinamo Protokoll OM32 Kommandos nicht erläutert; Bitte Hersteller fragen.

Best Regards, Rob.

Kannst Du mir und Rob helfen?

Hi Steffen,

The OM32 commands are indeed not in the Dinamo Specification, since the OM32 is a separate product. The commands are however explained in the OM32Serial Interface Specification (Dutch). You can also find them in te OC32 Interface Specification (English) since the OC32 also supports OM32 commands.

Both documents can be found in the galleries
Feel free to forward the documents to Rob if this helps to improve Rocrail.

To summarize the most basic OM32 commands:

Off = (addressbyte) 0x08 (output) 0x00 (checksum)
On = (addressbyte) 0x09 (output) 0x00 (checksum)
Invert = (addressbyte) 0x0A (output) 0x00 (checksum)
Single Pulse = (addressbyte) 0x09 (output) (time) (checksum)
Blink = (addressbyte) 0x08 (output) (time) (checksum)
To use fading, add 0x10 to the commands (second byte)

So if Rocrail sends .. 0x08 (output) 0x00 .. to the OM32, the output should be OFF

Addressbyte and checksum are generated by Dinamo if the OM32 is connected after the RM-U or UCCI. The protocols are already implemented by Rocrail (afaik), so only the command and parameter need to be set correctly.

Hope this helps. Should you or Rob need further help, let me know!

Kind regards,
Leon
