Good day to all

i've recently installed a Massoth emotion M, inside a simple motorized tender coming from the LGB 22150 loco.
Following the instruction, the 4 wires are connected, 2 for the track and 2 for the motor isolated.
My Marlin cs3 don't recognize the tender, and nothing can be modified into the config page, even the cv adress...
So tender don't move at all on the track
Any idea to help me !? i join some pictures of my mounting !
Regards

Do you have the DCC protocol turned on in your CS3?

The Emotion decoder, does not support MFX, to the best of my knowledge.

Good day all. i'm really not a lucky man, i've tried to fit another platine with lgb 55021 dcc decoder, but as previous, my cs3 did not recognize the item. First time i have this case !

Is there a circular gold sticker on the bottom of the tender?

Could be the decoder is set to 14 speed-steps? - CS3 will (I believe) not work if the decoder is set to 14 speed-steps.

PhiliP, not any circular gold sticker, but the D drive printed on the tender, so the motor is electrically yet isolated,

Hi, is it possible you haven’t turned the DIP switches off after installing the decoder. Just a thought.
I am interested to hear the outcome of this query hopefully it will be a successful one.

That was not quite what I meant, I believe that some of the earlier LGB MTS/DCC locomotives only had 14 speed steps thus possibly not able to have 28 steps. Can anyone confirm if I am correct in this assumption please?
 
I have an emotion M Decoder installed in a Feldbahn loco using my Maerklin CS2 without any problems. Going back to basics, are you trying to program the decoder on a programming track? Is the tender the only item on the programming track? Is the emotion M the only decoder in the tender? What decoder do you have in the Loco?

The M Decoder can run on 14 or 28 speed steps. Mine is set to 28 speed steps.

Thanks for your reply MT. I’ve tried to lauch the decoder with both system (with and without programming track) with no result
Yes sure the tender is alone on track with only this décoder massoth. Tender was foreseen the run with an Lgb 20981 new loco Working with mfx décoder.
Last chance. : let the tender to my Lgb/Marklin shop to see if the technical resources is able to solve the problem…

Dunnyrail thanks for your reply. I’ve heard indeed these steps differences. How to select 14 or 28 ? Regards

Simply put, you can't select the steps.

Early decoders were programmed to have 14 speed steps, then 28.

Later versions are programmed for 128 steps....
