Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control device for controlling an electric model railroad, with control elements for inputting control commands for a model railroad article, in particular a traction vehicle, which has a decoder and to which an address is assigned, and with a memory element for storing article-specific data of the model railroad article.
  • control model railways are for example from the DE 202 21 649 U1 Digital control devices of the type mentioned above known.
  • the control devices are based on the fact that various model railroad articles, in particular each model railcar, have a decoder capable of receiving control commands and correspondingly controlling the model railroad article.
  • the control device has controls, for example a rotary knob, so that the user can input control commands, which are then transmitted by the control device to the decoder of the model railroad article.
  • control commands are sent over the track.
  • the addresses of the decoders of the model railway articles can be stored in a memory element of the control device.
  • further article-specific data can be stored in the memory element, for example the name of the model railway article, ie in particular the name of a traction vehicle, or other characteristics of the traction vehicle, in particular its maximum speed and / or its Anfahrbeuggung and deceleration.
  • the article-specific data must be read during commissioning of the model railway article from the decoder and in the memory element of the control device be stored.
  • Railcars of model trains are usually placed on the track of the model railroads, so that the desired information can be transmitted via the track.
  • Object of the present invention is to develop a control device of the type mentioned in such a way that article-specific data of the model railroad article can be easily transferred into the memory member of the control device.
  • control device of the generic type in that the control device has a reading device connected to the memory element for reading, in use, a data memory which is arranged on a portable data carrier assigned to the model railway article.
  • article-specific data of the model railway article in particular its decoder address or characteristic values for the driveability of a traction vehicle, can be easily stored in the memory element of the storage device by the data from the data memory of a portable data carrier by means of the reading device be read out.
  • the data carrier is assigned to a specific model railway article.
  • Each model railroad article with a decoder, in particular each traction vehicle, can be assigned a special portable data carrier with a data memory. If the model railway article is put into operation, then it is only necessary for data transmission, the data storage of the data carrier of the model railway article using the Read reading device and store the corresponding data in the memory element of the control device.
  • the control device makes it possible to store item-specific data of a model railroad article in the storage member without data having to be input manually or, in the case of traction vehicles of a model railroad, via the track of the model railway.
  • the model railway article itself need not be available, it is sufficient if the data memory of the data carrier assigned to it can be read out by means of the reading device.
  • control device in the case of a faulty data transmission, this can be done again at any time in a simple manner by the data storage of the data carrier is read out again.
  • control device has a reset button, with the aid of which the storage member can be reset to factory settings.
  • the data memory of the data carrier can also store an individual serial number of the model railway article which can be read out by the reading device of the control device.
  • the control device also makes it possible to easily read out operating instructions which are stored in the data memory of the data carrier associated with the model railroad article and to display them on a display device of the control device, for example. It may also be provided that in the data memory of the data carrier assigned to the model railway article information about the model of the model railroad article, so for example, weights and consumption values of the model of a Model railway locomotive, are stored. This allows further possibilities for playing with the control device according to the invention.
  • the control device has a reading station on which the portable data carrier can be positioned for reading the data memory.
  • the reading station can have a receptacle on which the data carrier associated with a model railroad article can be arranged to read out the data memory.

  • the data memory can be embodied, for example, in the form of a microelectronic circuit with contact surfaces that can be electrically contacted by contact elements of the reading device.
  • control device also has a writing device for writing to the data memory.
  • a writing device for writing to the data memory. This gives the ability to use the data store of the data carrier associated with a particular model train article Design read / write memory, so that not only article-specific data can be read and stored in the memory element of the control device, but the user entered data can be read via the writing device in the data memory of the data carrier.
  • the invention also relates to a system comprising at least one portable data carrier associated with a model railway article having a data memory and a control device of the type described above.
  • a system comprising at least one portable data carrier associated with a model railway article having a data memory and a control device of the type described above.
  • Article-specific data in particular the decoder address, the name of the article and / or other characteristics and operating data can be stored in a simple manner in the data memory of the data carrier, which is assigned to the model train article and read by the reading device in the memory element of the control device.
  • the data carrier is designed in a preferred embodiment as a chip card.
  • a chip card comprises an integrated circuit which is arranged on a plastic carrier.
  • Smart cards are known to the person skilled in the art, for example as SD memory cards, which are used in mobile telephones and digital cameras and also in MP3 players.
  • the data carrier has an image of the model railway article to which it is assigned.
  • the image can be designed in the form of a holographic image.
  • the data storage of the data carrier is designed as a read / write memory, so that not only article-specific data stored but also user-specified data can be stored in the data memory.
  • the sole figure of the drawing shows schematically a system according to the invention with a portable data carrier and a control device.
  • the system is generally designated by the reference numeral 10
  • the control device bears the reference numeral 20
  • the portable data memory is designated by the reference numeral 30.
