Congratu ations on your purchase of an eMOTION XXL Decoder. The eMOTION XXL Decoder is an
exceptiona , high-performance Digita Decoder designed for G-Sca e by Massoth E ektronik GmbH, Germany.
We high y recommend reading this manua and the documentation carefu y and thorough y before operating
your eMOTION XXL Decoder.
Massoth E ektronik GmbH used the atest in techno ogy in designing and manufacturing the eMOTION XXL
Decoder. Exce ent operation at a times is assured by the high safety standard in data processing and by
de ivering an exceptiona power output and performance. Future a terations of the DCC standards are easi y
imp emented into the eMOTION XXL Decoder by updating. The atest F ash-Techno ogy is uti ized in the
eMOTION XXL Decoder to provide a safe and consumer-friend y operation during updating.
2. Important Information for Operation
Insta your decoder in comp iance with the connecting diagram in this manua . The decoder is protected
against shorts and excessive oads. However, in case of a connection error e.g. a short between a ight and the
motor, this safety feature cannot work and the decoder wi be destroyed subsequent y.
The decoder is origina y programmed on address #3 with 14 speed steps. In case you want to use a high
address, you have to program CV17, CV18, and CV29 according y. If you want to use 28 speed steps you need
to set CV29-Bit1 to ”2”. Otherwise the ights might not work or may f icker.

2.4. General Hook-Up
The decoder features three ight outputs on the decoder. These are front ight, rear ight and interior ight. Front
and rear ight are activated according to the driving direction. The interior ight are activated in both directions.
P ease observe the maximum current for each output: 500mAmps/output. Light bu bs and other consumer
oads (e.g. smoke generator) are connected to Dec+ and the respective output (LF, LR or A1, see i ustration 4).
Light bu bs and smoke generators used must be suited for 24 Vo ts. In case 5Vo t bu bs and smoke generators
are used, p ease see in “Advanced Functions“ (Chapter 3.2) for the correct output setting.
2.5. Basic Factory Settings
•V1 = 3 (loco address)
•Light outputs adjusted to full track voltage (for 19/24 Vo t bu bs)
•Switching Speed on/off by F8 (ha f speed)
•Functions Outputs A1 to A6 mapped to Function Keys F1 to F6
•V29 = 4 (to comply with 14 speed steps for MTS) For 28 speed steps, CV29 must be set to “6“.
•V49=2 (on y para e functions. For seria set CV49 to 3)

Note: The ight function depends on the se ected speed step setting. In case the setting in CV29 is not
identica to the setting of the digita contro system, the ights may f icker or may not work at a . (Irre evant
when using 128 speed steps).
2.6. Installation
The decoder MUST NOT touch any meta ic constructiona e ements. This may ead to short circuits and to the
destruction of the decoder subsequent y.
3. Advanced Settings
3.1. MASSOTH Bus Interface
The MASSOTH bus interface connects to components with specia digita contro functions, e.g. the MASSOTH
Pu se Smoke Generator.
3.2. Function Outputs
The eMOTION XXL Decoder is fitted with 6 function outputs. A ight outputs are set to 24Vo ts as defau t. This
means, at 24Vo ts track vo tage the function outputs A1 to A6 de iver 24Vo ts, if activated. The output vo tage
as we as the function of the ight and function outputs may be set by programming (function key a ocation,
direction sensitivity, f ashing function and short-term function). See the CV ist for further detai s. The outputs
may be contro ed by NMRA-DCC commands as we as with seria LGB® pu se chain commands. The ight
outputs and the function outputs A1 to A4 are dimmab e.
3.3.1. Serial Pulse hain for LGB®- Interface
The factory defau t setting of the eMOTION XXL decoder provides on y para e data processing. Therefor the
decoder may be uti ized with a NMRA digita systems. The seria data processing mode may be activated, thus
occurs a brief waiting period of 0.5 secs with F1.
Specia settings for seria pu se chain or para e function data processing:
CV49 = 2 : Para e function triggering on y
CV49 = 3 : Seria and para e function triggering
CV49 = 11 : Seria pu se chain on F1 for 6po e LGB®- Interface with sound modu e (e.g. P-Updates of LGB®-
sound modu es).
3.3.2. R Servo Hook-Up (I ustr. 5)
The eMOTION XXL decoder is fitted with a specia A3 output which is on y usab e for RC servo operation. This
output cou d be activated with CV121.
RC servos are especia y suited for point-to-point movements (e.g. de-coup er, pantograph) or circu ar motions.
The RC servo needs a 5Vo t regu ator additiona y and the contro commands of the decoder.
The end-positions are defined in CVs. In case the function is switched “ON“, the servo is positioned in one of
the end-positions, in case the function is “OFF“, the servo wi trave to the opposite end-position.
In addition the trave speed may be adjusted.
eMOTION XXL Decoder 6

3.3.3. Hook-Up of a Power Buffer
A power buffer may be insta ed to improve the operationa re iabi ity. The buffer connects to “Dec+“ and “Dec-“.
The charging current must not exceed 500 mAmps.
Ana og operation must be disab ed with a power buffer connected to the eMOTION XXL Decoder otherwise the
decoder recognizes the power buffer as an ana og power supp y (CV29 bit2).
The power buffer must be switched off during programming.
The MASSOTH Power Buffers (#8151001 or #8151501) are switched off automatica y during programming if
you connect the white contro ine to “A5“ with the power buffer contro function activated in CV118 = 31. Then
the A5 output cannot be used for other purposes.
3.4. Motor Output
Depending on which digita system uti ized different speed steps may be used. The more steps are used the
smoother the ocomotive responds to the thrott e. In Garden G-Sca e 14 speed steps are used and 28 speed
steps are recommended if supported by the digita system.
•The direction of driving (inc uding the direction re ated functions) can be reversed by setting CV29 - bit0
according y.
•Three settings of speed contro are avai ab e:
14 speed steps (CV29 – bit1 = Off)
28 speed steps (CV29 – bit1 = On)
128 speed steps (is detected automatica y)
Using the eMOTION XXL with LGB® MTS I or II requires a 14 speed step setting. This is the factory defau t
setting of the decoder.
Severa CV settings in the eMOTION XXL Decoder inf uence the acce eration and dece eration characteristics
of the ocomotive. The acce eration/dece eration characteristic is defined by 2 CVs:
•Acce eration de ay (CV3)
•Dece eration de ay (CV4)
The time ag between speed 0 and the maximum speed (or reverse) is 0.5 sec if the setting is “1”, maximum
possib e is 128 sec (setting “255”). Simp y divide your desired time de ay by “2” to acquire the respective CV
setting.

Illustration 5: Hook-Up of a RC Servo

Driving urve
The speed characteristic of the ocomotive is defined by the driving curve which is programmed by 3 CVs. The
standard driving curve is inear.
Decoders ike the eMOTION XXL Decoder feature 3 CVs to define the speed parameters. The basic setting of
the eMOTION XXL Decoder is shown in the i ustration above.
•The start vo tage (CV2) defines the driving vo tage of speed step1. The sma er the vo tage the s ower the
ocomotive drives. If the PI-Load Contro is “off” and the ocomotive does not move in speed step 1, the start
vo tage shou d be increased.
•The maximum speed (CV5) may be reduced by inserting sma er va ues.
•The mid-speed (CV6) defines how many speed steps are avai ab e. In case CV6 is ha f of the va ue of CV5,
a speed steps are distributed equa y. In case CV6 is sma er than ha f the va ue of CV5 the ocomotive wi
drive s ower at mid-speed; the s ow speed range wi be stretched.
As an a ternative you may program the driving curve individua y in 28 speed steps (CV67 - CV94). This driving
curve is activated by CV29- bit4. In this case the CVs 2, 5, and 6 are deactivated!
Motor ontrol Frequency
Basica y the motor runs quieter and smoother when the contro frequency is increased. The motor contro
frequency is defined in 4 steps by CV9. At 16 kHz the motors are operating at its optimum and runs very quiet.
A few types of motors may require a ower setting if they do not run smooth y or get hot. The integrated oad
contro works on y with 16 kHz. The eMOTION XXL Decoder is usab e with a kinds of DC motors.
Load ontrol
The eMOTION XXL Decoder monitors the driving performance of the ocomotive and regu ates the driving
vo tage. The oad contro governs the speed of the ocomotive regard ess of up or down grades or the ength of
eMOTION XXL Decoder 8

djustable with CV2 (Starting Voltage), CV5 (Maximum Speed), CV6 (Mid
Speed)

the train. This means the decoder de ivers more vo tage to the motor(s) if the ocomotive is running uphi in
order to keep the speed constant. The eMOTION XXL Decoder is equipped with a state-of-art integrated PI-
Load Contro (proportiona -integra ) that can be programmed efficient y by 3 CVs. These 3 CVs define the
characteristics of the PI-Load Contro by the fo owing parameters: maximum re-adjustment factor (a owed
readjustment per adjustment interva ), re-adjustment retardation (frequency of the adjustment interva s), and
maximum re-adjustment strength (maximum re-adjustment to the speed setpoint).
Maximum Re-Adjustment Factor ( V60)
The maximum re-adjustment factor sets the range of change per re-adjustment interva for the motor vo tage
(see CV61), input range is 0 … 255. The arger the va ue the more aggressive the decoder wi react to oad
changes. In the most extreme cases the ocomotive wi overcontro and tend to drive jerky during oad changes.
Re-Adjustment Retardation ( V61)
The re-adjustment retardation defines how often the eMOTION XXL Decoder is a owed to re-adjust per
second. Increasing the va ue means an increase of re-adjustments per second. The eMOTION XXL Decoder is
ab e to perform up to 4000 adjustments per second. The basic setting is “60”. This resu ts in a eisure y and
rea istic contro characteristic. Formu a: 4000/(CV-va ue) = Number of adjustments per second.
Re-Adjustment Strength ( V62)
An examp e wi exp ain this matter best: The motor vo tage is insufficient to keep the speed as the oad
increases. The PI- oad contro kicks in and regu ates (increases) the motor vo tage according y to make sure
the ocomotive continues with the same speed. The re-adjustment strength is the maximum a owab e vo tage to
achieve the required speed. The se ectab e va ue range is 0…255. The basic setting is “255”, the maximum
strength. This means the eMOTION XXL Decoder is a owed to increase the motor vo tage up to the track

Illustration 7: Operating Modes of the PI-Load Control

vo tage if so required. Lowering this va ue sets a cei ing for the motor vo tage which cannot be exceeded. This
might meet rea ity c ose y as the power reserve of rea ocomotives is not un imited. Entering a track segment
with an upgrade the ocomotive wi be on y partia y ab e to cope with the new power demand and wi decrease
the speed at some point. With the setting at “128” the readjustment is imited to 50%. In case the ocomotive
reaches this imit, a speed decrease wi occur under an increased oad.
The basic setting of the PI- oad contro is set to “fast”. This enab es fast speed changes but may resu t in over-
regu ating and thus to bucking.
The PI- oad contro may be switched off in CV49.
3.4.1. Special Driving Functions
Shunting Speed
The maximum speed is reduced by ha f to faci itate a more effective driving characteristic during shunting. This
feature may be set on any programmab e function key. With CV59 = 0 the function is “off”. Va ues between 1…
16 define the number of the function key. The standard F-key setting is “8”.
Dis-Engageable Acceleration/Deceleration Times
Disab ing acce eration va ue and braking va ue: the programmed va ues of CV3 and CV4 may be reduced to a
minimum by a sing e keystroke. With CV64 = 0 the function is “off”. Va ues between 1…16 define the number of
the function key. The standard F-key setting is “7”.
Automatic Braking (V1.3 and up)
There are two methods to stop a train automatica y in front of a stop signa . The first method uses DCC brake
signa s produced by a booster with a braking modu e (Broadcast), the second method uti izes a DC signa
(Brake-On-DC). For both methods a track portion in front of the signa must be tota y iso ated and powered by
the respective signa .
For Brake-On-D the option for analog operation must be blocked ( V 29, Bit2). P ease check your DCC
system manua for further information.
Pausing Time during Shuttle Operation
You may program a pausing time in a simp e shutt e operation in ana og and digita mode. Va ues between 1
and 255 define a waiting time in 1 to 255 seconds, with CV58=0 this function is deactivated. The activated
pausing time is executed on y if the driving direction is reversed during operation, e.g. by an ana og e ectronic
shutt e contro . In case the ocomotive is stopped and started in the same direction, the pausing time wi not be
executed.
3.5. Analog Operation
In ana og mode the eMOTION XXL Decoder is fu y functiona with as itt e as 5Vo ts of track vo tage. The
operation in ana og mode may be de-activated with CV29–Bit2. The eMOTION XXL Decoder features an
interna motor characteristic curve which enab es a smooth operation by measuring the track vo tage. An
ana og oad contro (pat.pend.) may be activated (CV49-Bit2). The 3 ight outputs are a ways activated
according to the driving direction. The 6 function outputs (CV13) may be activated in ana og mode a so,
inc uding the dimming and f ashing features.

4.3. Address Programming
Each ocomotive operated by the NMRA/DCC standard needs a digita address to receive its specific
command.
•The NMRA standard provides two kinds of addresses:
- Low (short) addresses (1…127)
- High ( ong) addresses (128…10239)
•The address must be stored in the decoder to enab e the decoder to recognize the commands that are meant
for it.
•The ow address is stored in CV 1. The maximum va ue is “127”. In addition bit5 in CV 29 must be “off” (va ue
0).
•The high address is divided into two va ues and is stored in CV17 and CV18. In addition bit5 in CV29 must be
set to “on”.
The long address must be calculated as follows:
CV17 = address / 256 (store on y the who e-numbered va ue)
CV18 = address – (CV17 x 256)
In case you want to ca cu ate the ocomotive address “3005”, p ease proceed as fo ows:
Step 1: 3005 / 256 = 11.74 , so CV17 wi be “11”
Step 2: 3005 – (11 x 256) = 3005 – 2816 = “189”
Consequent y you have to program CV17 with “11” and CV18 with “189”.
Current digita systems (e.g. the DiMAX-System) offer a comfortab e programming method of the addresses. A
CVs inc uding CV29 are being ca cu ated automatica y and programmed at the same time when using the
function “Loco Address Programming”. The origina address setting of the eMOTION XXL Decoder is “3”. In
case of a decoder reset the address wi be reset to this va ue.

5. Programming Methods
The eMOTION XXL Decoder supports a programming methods in accordance with the atest NMRA/DCC
standards. P ease note that not a of the DCC systems current y avai ab e can be programmed according to
this standard. The manufacturer of your DCC system shou d give you in-depth information. Choose the
programming method app icab e to your digita system. The eMOTION XXL Decoder confirms every successfu
programming cyc e with a short bucking of the engine. This ensures the correct reception and accomp ishment
of the programming command.
5.1. Writing onfiguration Variables ( Vs)
Programming (writing) the CV va ues is the easiest way of programming the decoder. This method is uti ized by
most of the DCC systems. Using your hand he d contro er, the centra station, or the PC - you se ect the
desired CV parameter and insert your desired va ue. Programming is done on a separate programming track or
a piece of track that is used as programming track, depending on the digita system. P ease check the manua
of your centra station.
5.2. Reading onfiguration Variables ( vs)
The readout of CV parameters sha not be mistaken for a programming procedure. However, it is essentia for
checking the programmed settings. The eMOTION XXL Decoder provides this function and the readout can be
easi y accomp ished with a hand he d contro er. After inserting the desired CV No. the contro er wi disp ay the
va ue of the respective variab e.
5.3. Writing the onfiguration Variables ( Vs) bit by bit
Some of the CV (e.g. CV29, CV49) parameters consist of mu tip e binary va ues. This means that severa
va ues are combined in one va ue. Each function has a bit and a va ue. Programming a CV of this kind requires
that a va ues of a functions contro ed by this CV need to be summed up. A deactivated function a ways is “0”,
an active function must be programmed with the respective va ue according to the CV-tab e. The sum
represents the va ue of the CV and must be written into the CV parameter. A known programming methods
may be used.
Let’s ook at the NMRA configuration register for examp e (CV 29). You intend to program “norma driving
direction, 28 speed steps, digita and ana og operation, interna driving curve, and a short ocomotive address”.
This sums up to 2+4=6 according to the attachment ist #1. So CV shou d be programmed with “6”.
5.4. Register Programming / Writing Vs Indirectly
Register programming was the first method of CV programming. The eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder supports
this programming method. The CV va ue is to be entered into an intermediate variab e. The decoder thereafter
does the rea programming. The input into register 5 and 6 is accomp ished with the hand he d contro er. The
CVs 1 to 4 are entered direct y; a other CVs with higher numbers are programmed indirect y.
Let’s assume you want to set the ight output vo tage (CV 50) to “10”. The first step is to go into the register
programming mode, insert “6” thereafter “50”. If this was successfu , program register “5” with “10”. Now your
ight output is set to “10”.
5.6. PoM Programming on Main (main track)
The PoM method is the on y procedure to accomp ish programming on the main track. A of the CV
programming can be done except CV1, 17+18 (address) with the eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder. PoM
programming should only be performed when the locomotive is not in motion.

6. Properties of the eMOTION XXL
The eMOTION XXL Decoder is a compact and sma -sized driving and function decoder designed for the G-
Sca e garden rai road operation. The decoder features an output for one e ectric motor and 8 programmab e
function outputs.
The eMOTION XXL Decoder has exceptiona driving characteristics in both digita and ana og operation. The
performance in ana og is outstanding and de ivers steady operation from 7 to 8 Vo ts and up. Optiona an
additiona power buffer may be used which e iminates power interruptions on contaminated tracks in digita and
ana og operation.
On which type of layout is the L Decoder to be used?
The eMOTION XXL Decoder supports the operation on a digita y contro ed ayouts according to the NMRA
standards, irrespective of the manufacturer. The use of the internationa y accepted standard of the Nationa
Mode Rai road Association (NMRA) ensures that the eMOTION XXL Decoder works with a NMRA/DCC
compatib e digita centra stations. The eMOTION XXL Decoder may be uti ized according to NMRA/DCC as
we as with regu ar ana og DC.
6.1. General Information Regarding D Systems
In ana og operation the speed of the ocomotive is contro ed by the eve of the track vo tage. A ocomotives
connected to the thrott e wi drive with the same speed and direction. Mu tip e train operation can on y be
accomp ished by separated track sections with separate power supp ies.
A digita y contro ed ayout, however, is powered by a steady track vo tage. This track vo tage is supp ied by an
over ay of digita signa s which carry digita commands for speed and switch commands. A ocomotives and
switches have a decoder with a programmed address, comparab e to a phone number. Thus mu tip e
ocomotives may be contro ed independent y to each other a though they a ocated on the same track. In
addition ight and other functions may be operated comfortab y. The most popu ar digita systems are
NMRA/DCC and Motoro a. These systems are not compatib e because they use different commands.
This means, a ocomotive with a Motoro a decoder may not be used on a NMRA/DCC ayout and vice versa. In
G-Sca e genera y the NMRA/DCC system is used (e.g. LGB® MTS). In addition there are some niche products
as Se ectrix (Trix) or FMZ (F eischmann). Basica y decoders by different manufacturers uti izing the same DCC
system may be operated joint y. A functions ike driving, ight or switch commands are identica . Many systems
however may feature functions additiona to the DCC standard which may on y be used with decoders of the
same manufacturer.
To ensure the proper operation of the decoders, the decoders need to be individua y programmed according to
the CV-tab e. CV stands for configuration variab es and the tab e ho ds the individua data for the properties of a
decoder. CV1 ho ds the address of the decoder; others define the maximum speed, the brightness of a ight
bu b or the braking characteristics of the ocomotive.
P ease find the exp icit ist of a CVs at the end of this manua .
6.2. Operation with LGB® MTS-I, MTS-II and MTS-III
The LGB® MTS digita systems I and II basica y work with 14 speed steps. The third generation of LGB® MTS
supports 28 speed steps, however on y in connection with the DiMAX Navigator. The eMOTION XXL Decoder's
factory defau t setting is 14 speed steps to ensure f aw ess operation with LGB® MTS and other digita systems.
In case you use a LGB® MTS III centra station in connection with a DiMAX Navigator or in case a digita
system is used which supports 28 speed steps, the eMOTION XXL Decoder may be set to 28 speed steps by
changing CV29 according y.
In addition you may have to change the decoder settings for seria or para e function data processing (see
chapter 3.3.1)
eMOTION XXL Decoder 17

LGB® Programming Modu es may be imited in the programming range of CVs. Uti izing the register
programming method (see chapter 5.5) may so ve this prob em. With this method you may change a CV
settings.
