Control mode / Driving mode / Relative power

R = manual (enter relative traction)
A = automatic (enter desired speed)
ZK = automatic test

Drive mode switch

P = parking
V = coasting - positive proportional thrust blocked
J = driving
S = consent - positive proportional thrust enabled
The "consent" position must be used for initial start-up (and the switch must be held in this position until a speed of 1.5 km/h is reached). It is also necessary to use this position to unblock positive proportional thrust again after manual intervention in the control using the EDB controller or the continuous train brake controller.

Relative power

Proportional thrust limitation in automatic mode
1-12 = thrust setting
1 = EDB disabled
7-12 = EDB power is 100% [2]

Axcle counter / Relative power

Axcle counter selection is used to set the length of the train in the speed controller (cruise control), with one axle corresponding to a length of six meters (and a maximum of 170 axles can be set).
Relative power controller controls the pulse converters of the traction motors' and excitation traction motors based on the relative power requirement. It also controls the converters of auxiliary drives (traction motor cooling fans, etc.).
