Ordered 60216 CS3+ and 60042 power adapter, switch to 15V basedon instruction because use DC. Put on track new loco and wait for few minutes, than hear noise come from loco but cannot see that CS3+ found locos and loco is not moving. I tried with diffirent models locos I ordered all of them support mfx dcc and mm. Can you support me to check anything maybe I am doing wrong, but I check guide before start to do it.
tested CS3+ with below locos:
-22629
-22924
-22693
-22412
Sometimes locos light come and it run but without management.

15v for H0?
You're mistaking 2 rail with DC analog. Just because you're running Trix 2 rail, that doesn't equate with DC analog. You're running digital locos on 2 rail track, the track is only the conduit down which the signal flows - in this case 2 rail. It would make no difference if you were running Marklin 3 rail.
Switch the power pack to 18v then try. Also check that the mfx protocol is enabled in the systems settings on the CS3+. I'd suggest you also use the programming track to register your locos with.

Yes, I have all 3 protocols on. DCC also. Newer decoders are mfx and dcc.
Because of Marklin trademark rights to mfx, ESU calls theirs M4.

Sometimes locos light come and it run but without management. Try to reset your CS3+. Put locomotive on the track and i recommended you one locomotive at a time so CS3+ search after new locomotive. If you have still problem you have problem with the CS3+. |

This loco does not appear in the Trix product database, so may not have an mfx decoder. The other three do appear and are all listed as mfx, so should register. Originally Posted by: eldar760

If you bought these second hand it could be that these locos have had mfx turned off, put them on the programming track and look at the CVs to see if this has happened.

Using the 15v setting means you could end up with 12v which may be too low if the decoder is expecting 19v. Marklin recommends you use 19v for H0, why would you use something different?

Thank you for support after switch to 19V abd reset central station it is work. It is strange guide said for DC use 15V.

Marklin recommends you use 19v for H0, why would you use something different? 15 volt are for the N and H0 scale to reduce power out to the track. In fact it does not matter if Märklin did also use only 16 volt for the H0 scale. I did tested use 15 volt and it works too for the H0. 15 volt are more harmless for the N scale just in this case about MiniTrix. |

I did read about that in another english train forum from UK. That's the biggest load of rubbish I've ever read on this forum. Try running big heavy 1 Gauge locos on 15v and see where that gets you... So you read it on another UK English train forum, so it must be true and factual....  I've had actual experience with running 1 Gauge locos on 15v or less due to voltage drop around a layout and it wasn't pretty. Both times it was with my KM1 BR01 loco. The first time, the loco was being backed through a double slip switch in which the front half had been set for the direction of running but the rear half of the switch hadn't. The loco, which was being driven slow, derailed causing a short. The booster didn't detect the short, tried to push more current out to compensate for the low voltage with the result that the wires leading from the wheel power pickup contacts cooked and burst into smoke, which I had to replace. The second time the loco was being driven through a reversing loop, of which it had just come out of after which the loco stopped dead - no smoke, no obvious damage, nothing. That resulted in a decoder replacement. So I know from experience your above statement is complete excrement. Originally Posted by: kiwiAlan Yet another bit of mis-information from Goofy.......

As I said in my email to you Marklin has managed to completely screw up the description for that 15v/19v switch on the power supplies where they talk about 15v DC and 19v AC where the description should say 15v DC / 19v DC. That was discussed in thread https://www.marklin-user...-and-60045-pros-and-consThe fact you are now working OK on the 19v setting further shows Goofy doesn't know what he's talking about when saying use either or!

I can only add one loco with mfx, remin 3 locos cannot. keep as 19V power, keep trail of and put new loco on it, then power on trail. Wait for long time cs3 plus cannot find new locos and tried also rediscover lost mfx loco no any changes. Can you guide how to fix ?

Try with the loco on the programming track.
Also if you have a MS2 or a friend or a dealer nearby with a MS2 / CS2 / CS3, do your locos register on those devices?

Yes. I use simple trail before purchased for DC analog line by piko, just bought CS3+ and connect it. Can be trail is problem ?

If you mean to say track by trail? You have a Piko dc locomotive. Is it analog or dcc Digital? It will not run on 3 rail track. If it is Digital and you have two Rail tracks, that is not a problem. You enable dcc protocol in your CS3.

I used before DC analog loco, then get new trix DC digital locos and CS3+ but keep same trails. I checked trails cannot be problem for digital part.

Check the CS3 system settings and scroll to protocols. I keep mine all on. MM, MFX, and DCC. TRIX digital are DCC. I have a ski lift with an ESU dcc/M4 decoder, and the CS3 recognized it as MFX. Have you tried manually loading the Trix Loco. as a dcc decoder type, and entering it's address?

Per.
What Ohm´s law? Even smoke generator works at 15 volt or 19 volt...what ever. TS did also asked problem about locomotives does not speak with the CS3 at the 15 volt which should be work. I did tested in both 15 and 19 volt by use 60041 and there was no problem. What i know myself is that TS are not alone to have problem with Märklin system. |

We have exhausted all of the possibilities of what the problem could be. As i suggested before you need to find someone with a Marklin controller who can test your Trix locos on another controller other than yours.
If they register on another controller there is most likely an issue with your CS3+, if they also do not register on another controller the problem is most likely that mfx has been disabled on the Trix loco decoders.
BTW Per, you got your numbers back to front - 55720 should be 55270 and 55725 should be 55275.

If your track connector is the PIKO 55275 you show on the picture, there is one more test I would like you to do You can do it in any of these 3 ways: 1: Remove the PIKO 55275 completely, and twist the two wires from the CS3 to one of the normal track pieces, one wire to each track, in a way so they don't touch each other and so you have a good electrical connection. Use two clothes-pins, tape or whatever you have to secure the two connections. Or: 2: Open the PIKO 55275 and remove the components inside the plastic box, it's probably a small capacitor and maybe a few resistors. If you can do that, then you can use the shell of the PIKO 55275 Or: 3: Buy a PIKO 55270 and don't use the PIKO 55275. When you have this setup ready, try to put your locos on the track you now have, and see if the will register on your CS3 ( The PIKO 55275 has EMC-protection inside the plastic box, parts which are meant for analog DC current, and these parts will destroy the digital signal ) Per. |

I think you should write a letter to the company Seuthe, and tell them they don't need to make so many different versions of their smoke generators, since it according to you doesn't matter which voltage you apply to them https://seuthe-dampf.de/technische-daten/Per. |

You are working on the assumption 55275 has EMC protection.

If they register on another controller there is most likely an issue with your CS3+, if they also do not register on another controller the problem is most likely that mfx has been disabled on the Trix loco decoders.
BTW Per, you got your numbers back to front - 55720 should be 55270 and 55725 should be 55275. Problem resolved finally and all locos has been registered by CS3+. Solution: 1. Keep 19V on adapter 2. Switch line to prog from normal 3. recover lost mfx locos Working fine now, after register switch line from prog track to normal. Thank you for support.
