In the news catalog it stand support mfx and can update.
Seems an new software.
You can now update mobil station to version 2.7 from the CS3.
Someone did said mobil station present symbols of signals/turnouts.
I haven´t seen it yet.
With CS3 you will maybe see m83 and m84 in the screen with code numbers.

Re: Differences
mFX - CONFIGURATION only, ie, mfx may be used to configure the device but it still uses DCC or MM in actual operation.

There is nothing new here that the 764xx signals have already failed to deliver on.
The CS2 and CS3 ability to support this is (IMHO) shocking and needs to be improved first.

You are currently better off just using the switches to set the address, and a MS2 to configure (DCC CVs)

Re: Why 60822
In summary , No, no-one has been able to satisfactorily clarify WHY. The unit works quite happily without the 60822. The 60822 was shipped missing half its originally marketed capability and doesn't really work well anyway.

Marketing have missed the boat by not offering a 60823 (Black version of the 60822)

#1,
- This is the prime design objective of the m83 - and is a replacement for the k83
- the reference to turnouts and signals is making the assumption that the turnouts are pulse driven. This is, indeed, common in the Marklin product range, but is not exclusive (e.g. hobby range) and if you have units that need continuous power, an external relay or m84 might be the required option
- for uncoupling, UNLIKE the k83 the m83 does not hold a port energised while the fingure holds the controller button down. the time duration is set within the m83. although holding the button down will cause pulses of activity - which is sometimes desirable - most operations I am aware of prefer the Relex mode where a relay (k84) is used to turn the uncoupler on while the train moves over the ramp and then turns it off afterwards.
#2
- This is a "Me too" wanabe , but it is a valid option for motor control. Although the power comes from within the unit!
- It has a very specific and limited usability in the Marklin world - The only init I am aware of is the 1-Guage Hubner rebranded turnout motor
- the grammar is wrong - the 60821 does provide 4 units - so one 60821 kit has the necessary hardware for all 4 port pairs
https://www.marklin-user...light-reading#post469234
#3
- note: you may configure ports and port pairs individually within the same m83
(e.g. 1(pr)=60821 motor, 1(pr)=7039 signal, 1(pr)=74491 turnout motor, 2(individual light circuits)
- further, the configuration does allow for more complex interaction of the ports - e.g. one button switching of 3Way turnouts and Double slips


#4
- This is the prime design objective of the m84 - and is a simulated replacement for the k84 (as already mentioned the m84 is NOT latching)
#5
- This is correct. each port pair is created by two DPST relays to appear, by default, as DPDTs with a common common. They may be switch individually but the common remains the same.
- One pair of poles is used for the "continuous current" switching of the users choice - e.g. DC, AC, Track Digital, Sound to speakers
- The 2nd pair of poles is used internally to provide a solution for the LED circuits of the Hobby range of signals - the brightness may be controlled (per whole m84 = CV39)
#6
- Aimed at the hobby , Non digital use of the m84 box.
- beware that these inputs must be pulse driven (e.g. (Mom)-Off-(Mom) ) - using a fixed switch (e.g. On-Off-On) causes problems
(I used to be optimistic that a "update" might have addressed this)
#7
- not a very good analogy really. the 7244 is a single 4PDT (one control pair address). I suggest you ignore


FWIW,
my recommendation to anyone who asks about a k84/m84 is to use a "k83/m83 plus external latching relay" instead.
Note, the k83 provided a -22V regulated pedestal voltage, while the m83 has a stabalised 16V. - i.e. a 24V relay would work with the k83 but not the m83.


Yes
- Of course the load current through the m84 relays are outside this power discussion.
- Note that the Marklin provided solutions offer 2Amp (36VA @18 volts)
- - the units themselves show "20V" on the underside
- - the specs for each m83 allow for 3Amp - go figure.

For CV programming with a MS2 you really need an external power supply as the reads usually drop a bit (bit 0). And even then do not try extensive read/writes - the m83 overheats.

As a new user of a M84 decoder (60841) I can confirm 66361 just plugs in and powers up the unit. It will also work without a 66361 by taking power from the track. The nice thing about use with the power supply is that if you press stop on the MS2 the signals stay on. I have previously been against using the MS2 to control solenoid accessories all gets very fiddly but four simple hobby signals on the MS2 is a dream and very functional. I really couldn't see the point of waiting for the black case and Mfx compatibility especially as you can get the 60841 for a very reasonable price currently.

Interesting. Wouldn't it be less expensive and more useful to just put the right sized fuses inline with each decoder output?

I have followed this with interest.
It appears the 60822 serves as an RF eliminator ( something Europe is very hot on) but also as Henrik has reported as a current limiter should a short occur somewhere in the power supply to the decoder. ( presumably then the red LED lights up).
It would seem sensible to use the item, except for a couple of decisions.
How likely is a short to occur on the layout ( which comes down to individual wiring and expertise etc),
BUT also how much does a 60882 cost. If not too expensive then probably best to use one.
Power supplies with current limiting are fairly easy to obtain now and are quite cheap.
